UI and UX guidelines
1. Offer Continue with Switch where people connect
Continue with SwitchContinue with SwitchContinue with SwitchContinue with SwitchPut the button where people sign in or connect accounts, in onboarding or in settings. Pressing it opens Switch’s own sign in and consent screen, the same one ChatGPT and Claude use for the Switch connector, where the person chooses Allow or Deny. Use only the two official formats from Brand and logo.
2. Show when Switch tokens are in use
Put a short “Using Switch tokens” line next to the composer or the model picker, with a “Manage usage” link to the person’s Switch usage page. Keep it clear of your own app’s prices. Usage and tokens has the details.
3. Offer a way on when tokens run out

4. Show results with their credit line
Show the picture or video as Switch returns it, with a “Made with Switch” credit line and a Download action. See Generated media, and Faces and voices before anything is made with a real person.
5. Say what went wrong in one plain sentence
