# The retention loop: the agent starts the conversation…

_The retention loop: the agent starts the conversation, offers city guides off the same saved videos, and asks for three dollars to keep going._

> States the monetization model explicitly: metered watching (5 free videos), a proven $20 saving, and a $3 wallet top-up rather than a subscription.
