Settings is the control panel for your account. Anything that shapes how Kaer behaves for you — rather than what it is doing in one particular thread — lives here: profile and appearance, connected services, mail, billing, usage limits, notification preferences, and your data controls.
The map
- Profile — who you are: name, email, account basics.
- Appearance — how the app looks.
- Connectors — the services Kaer can act on for you, with the scopes you granted; covered in full in Connectors.
- Mail — mailbox connections and preferences; the per-mailbox rules live at Mail → Settings, covered in Mail AI.
- Billing — plan, payment, top-ups, and cancellation; see Billing and Usage.
- Usage limits — hard caps on spend, explained below.
- Notifications — what Kaer tells you about, and where.
- Data controls — export and deletion of your data.
Each area does one job. Settings is a page you visit deliberately when the account needs adjusting — not somewhere you live.
Usage limits: the hard cap
A usage limit is a hard cap: when spending reaches it, work stops. Not "warns you", not "keeps going while flagging it" — stops.
This is the setting behind Kaer's blunt billing promise that nothing silently bills. If the agent hits your cap mid-task, it pauses and tells you, and it stays paused until you raise the limit or top up.
Set the cap at the number that would annoy you, not the number you expect to spend. Expected spend fluctuates; the cap is the ceiling you never want crossed without a deliberate decision.
A worked example
You give a colleague member access before going on leave, and set a usage limit first. Midway through the week they run a heavier batch of workflows than usual, and spend reaches the cap. Work pauses, and the agent says so rather than pressing on.
Your colleague either waits or asks you to raise the cap — a one-line change in Settings, made when you choose. What cannot happen is coming back from leave to a surprise bill.
Data controls
Two controls, both deliberately unburied:
- Export — take a copy of your data out.
- Delete — remove your data. Deletion is the one action in Settings that is genuinely irreversible, and it is treated with matching gravity.
They exist so that leaving, auditing, or simply checking what is held never requires a support ticket. The wider stance is covered in Privacy and Safety.
Good to know
- Settings vs the work surfaces: if a change affects one workflow, one mailbox rule, or one thread, make it there. If it affects the account, it is a Setting.
- Limits vs included credits: the cap is your ceiling on spend; your plan's included credits are the allowance. See Billing and Usage for how the two interact.
- Cancelling: month-to-month cancellation is done from here and takes effect at the end of the billing period.
- Notifications: decide early what deserves to interrupt you — preferences are set here, per account.
- Export before you delete: if you are leaving, take the export first — deletion is irreversible.
