AI Credits Usage Guide

What are AI Credits?

AI Credits are the currency used to interact with AssetSwap's AI assistant. Every message you send consumes credits based on the complexity of your request and the tools used.

How Credits Are Calculated

Your credit consumption is based on two factors:

1. Message Complexity (Token-based)

The length and complexity of your conversation determines the base credit cost:

Complexity	Token Range	Credits	Example
Quick Chat	< 500 tokens	1 credit	"Hi", "Thanks", "What's the price of BTC?"
Simple	500-2,000 tokens	2 credits	Basic questions, simple explanations
Moderate	2,000-5,000 tokens	3 credits	Detailed queries, short analysis
Complex	5,000-10,000 tokens	5 credits	In-depth analysis, multiple questions
Very Complex	10,000-20,000 tokens	8 credits	Comprehensive research, detailed strategies
Extended	20,000-30,000 tokens	25 credits	Large document analysis
Large	30,000-40,000 tokens	30 credits	Extensive reports
Very Large	40,000-80,000 tokens	60 credits	Multiple document processing
Huge	80,000-100,000 tokens	70 credits	Maximum context analysis
Maximum	> 100,000 tokens	100 credits	Extreme processing tasks

2. Tool Usage

Each tool the AI uses adds 1 credit to your cost:

Tool Type	Credits	Examples
Price Check	+1 credit	Getting current token prices
Balance Check	+1 credit	Checking wallet balances
Trade Execution	+1 credit	Buying/selling tokens
Market Analysis	+1 credit	Analyzing market trends
Portfolio Review	+1 credit	Reviewing holdings
Risk Assessment	+1 credit	Calculating risks

Real-World Examples

Quick Interactions (1-2 credits)

You: "What's the price of SOL?"
AI: [uses get_price tool] "SOL is currently $145.23"
Cost: 1 credit (tokens) + 1 credit (tool) = 2 credits

Trading Operations (5-8 credits)

You: "Buy $100 worth of SOL"
AI: [uses get_price, check_balance, execute_trade tools]
Cost: 2 credits (tokens) + 3 credits (tools) = 5 credits

Portfolio Analysis (10-15 credits)

You: "Analyze my portfolio performance this week"
AI: [uses multiple tools for comprehensive analysis]
Cost: 5 credits (tokens) + 8 credits (tools) = 13 credits

Complex Research (25-50 credits)

You: "Write a detailed trading strategy for meme coins"
AI: [extensive response with market analysis tools]
Cost: 25 credits (tokens) + 10 credits (tools) = 35 credits

Tips to Save Credits

1. Be Concise

• ✅ "Buy $50 SOL" (2 credits)

• ❌ "I would like you to help me purchase fifty dollars worth of Solana tokens please" (3-4 credits)

2. Batch Questions

Instead of multiple messages, combine related questions:

• ✅ "What's the price of BTC, ETH, and SOL?" (single message, 3 tools = 4 credits)

• ❌ Three separate messages (3 messages × 2 credits = 6 credits)

3. Avoid Unnecessary Conversation

• ✅ Get straight to the point

• ❌ Excessive pleasantries or repeated questions

4. Use Simple Queries When Possible

• ✅ "BTC price" (1-2 credits)

• ❌ "Can you provide me with a detailed analysis of Bitcoin's current market price including historical context" (5-10 credits)

Understanding Your Usage
