AI Credits
How credits are used by the AI Documentation Agent and the AI Assistant in Documentation.AI.
How AI credits work
Documentation.AI uses credits for two features:
-
The AI Documentation Agent (editor-facing)
-
The AI Assistant or Ask AI widget (end-user facing)
Only these features consume credits.
Credits are only used when an AI action is executed. Browsing, editing, and normal site usage do not consume credits.
AI Assistant / Ask AI
Each end user question sent through the AI Assistant costs exactly 1 credit.
The cost is the same regardless of how long the answer is or which page the user is on.
AI Documentation Agent
The AI Documentation Agent performs edits and content changes inside your docs.
Credit usage varies based on task complexity. Small updates cost less, larger structural changes cost more.
Common examples (actual usage may vary slightly depending on the size of your documents):
| Task example | Work done | Approx. credits |
|---|---|---|
| "Fix the formatting in this section" | Adjusts headings, spacing, or tables | 0.30 |
| "Rewrite this paragraph for clarity" | Edits content within a single section | 0.50 |
| "Add a new page summarizing our API rate limits" | Creates a new page with sections and links | 1.10 |
| "Restructure this guide into steps with headings" | Significant edits across multiple sections | 1.40 |
Where to view credit usage
You can view AI credit usage and costs from the usage section of your Documentation.AI dashboard (available soon).
