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 AI 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
The AI Assistant powers the on-page Ask AI widget for your end users.
Each end user question sent through the AI Assistant costs exactly 0.1 credit.
Credit consumption is the same regardless of how long the answer is or which page the user is on. For example, if you are on the professional plan with 500 credits, your customers can ask a maximum of 5,000 questions per month.
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 fewer credits, while larger structural changes cost more.
Common examples (actual usage may vary slightly depending on the size of your documents):
| Work performed | Approx. credits |
|---|---|
| Adjust headings, spacing, or tables | 0.30 |
| Edit content within a single section | 0.40 |
| Create a new page with sections, content and links | 1.10 |
| Significant edits across multiple pages | 1.80 |
Where to view credit usage
You can view AI credit usage and costs from the Usage section of your Documentation.AI dashboard under Settings → AI usage.
