Frequently asked questions

1. Does every click use credits?

No. Only actions that generate a new response use credits.

2. Why do training materials use more credits?

Because they generate larger and more complex outputs.

3. Can I undo credit usage?

No. Credits are used once a response is generated.

4. Can I download the same document multiple times?

Yes. After the first download, you can re-download it without using additional document credits if you are using it for the same company.
