Models and credits

Let Ask Spodus pick the model or choose one yourself, retry an answer with another model, and see how credits work on your plan and how to buy more.

Ask Spodus answers with a language model. Each answer uses credits from your workspace's monthly allowance.

Choose a model

  1. Click the model name next to the Ask Spodus box. It says Auto at first.
  2. Pick a model.

Auto picks the model for each question: a faster one for simple look-ups and a stronger one for the rest. Each other model is marked Uses fewer credits or Uses more credits.

Admins choose which models members can pick. See below.

Retry with another model

Under an answer:

  • Click Retry to ask the same question again.
  • Click the arrow next to it, Retry with another model, and pick a model under Retry with.

If a model you chose can't answer, click Switch to Auto.

How credits work

  • Every question uses credits, based on what it costs to answer. A typical question uses 1 to 15 credits, and no question uses more than 100. Questions that just count records use none.
  • Credits come from a monthly allowance shared by the whole workspace:
PlanCredits a month
Free250 for the workspace
Starter2,000 per seat
Growth4,000 per seat
  • A workspace on its trial gets the Starter allowance.
  • Credits reset at midnight UTC on the 1st of each month. Unused credits don't roll over.
  • From 80% used, a message under the box tells you how much is left and when it resets.
  • When the credits run out, Ask Spodus stops answering until the reset. Members see "Ask a workspace admin for more credits." Admins see Buy credits.

You can see how many credits a chat has used at the top of the chat. Each answer shows its own credits in its steps.

See usage and buy more credits

You need to be an owner or admin.

  1. Go to Settings > Billing.
  2. Under Ask Spodus credits this month, see the total, split By member and By model.
  3. To add more, click Buy more credits and choose how many packs of 5,000 credits. Extra credits last until the next reset.

Set models and limits for your workspace

You need to be an owner or admin.

  1. Go to Settings > Ask Spodus.
  2. Under Models, tick the models members can pick. Auto is always available.
  3. Under Monthly limit per member, type the most one member can use each month, in credits. Leave it empty for no limit.

The switch Ask Spodus for this workspace turns Ask Spodus off for everyone. Past chats stay readable.
