How Is AI Credit Usage Calculated

Comm100 AI & Automation offers a wide range of automation features by leveraging AI and generative AI features. In Comm100, we use AI Credits to track the usage of AI & Automation features. The AI Credit volume is shared across all AI features on the same site. Every time an AI feature is used, it consumes your AI Credits quota.

Note: You can also top up your AI Credit volume by purchasing an additional AI Credit package. Reach out to your Account Manager for more package details.


This article introduces how AI Credits are consumed for AI Agent, AI Insights, AI Knowledge, AI Quality Assurance, and AI Training.

Example: How AI Credit Usage Is Calculated in an AI Agent Chat

AI Credit usage in an AI Agent chat can be simply calculated using the formula: AI Credit Usage = Number of Visitor Messages + 1. The extra "+1" accounts for the AI Agent's initial proactive message(s) that starts the conversation.

Below is an example of an AI Agent chat session that includes 4 visitor messages, resulting in a total of 5 AI Credit usages: Total AI Credit Usage = 4 (Visitor Messages) + 1 (Initial Prompt) = 5.

AI Agent: Hi, how can I help you? [Make an appointment | Report an issue | Contact sales] → Initial AI prompt (counts as +1 AI Credit usage)
Visitor: Make an appointment → +1 AI Credit usage
AI Agent: Sure. May I have your email address and order ID so I can get your order details?
AI Agent: Please input your email address:
Visitor: myname@abc.com → +1 AI Credit usage
AI Agent: Please input your Order ID:
Visitor: 10000 → +1 AI Credit usage
AI Agent: Great. Let me check it for you. Please wait...
AI Agent: Your order (ID 10000) is shipping and will arrive in Boston on May 15, 2025.
AI Agent: The available installation slots for March 16, 2025, are 9 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, and 4 PM. Please choose one of these slots.
Visitor: 11 AM → +1 AI Credit usage
AI Agent: Your installation has been scheduled for March 16, 2025, at 11 AM. A confirmation email will be sent to myname@abc.com shortly.
