AI credits: what the AI in SelfManager runs on

Every AI action uses AI credits: a review of your week, a plan for next month, a chat about a table, a note you dictate. Your plan includes credits every week, and you see what a request costs before it runs.

  • 35credits a week on Individual
  • 70credits a week on Team
  • 1credit: where a Fast request starts
  • $0.05for each extra credit you buy

What uses them

Only AI uses credits. Tables, tasks, time tracking, comments, files and sharing never do.

Chat, plans and reviews

Chat about a table, turn any text into tasks, plan up to 31 days with AI Plan, and review a week, month or quarter with AI Review.

Voice to text

Dictate a comment, a note or a prompt, or transcribe audio you keep on a table.

Read aloud

Any AI response, and a table's comments, can read themselves aloud, up to 60 minutes a read.

AI assistants (MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants you connect use the same credits, at one price for every app. Connecting one is in private beta. How to connect an assistant

What each action costs

You pick Fast or Thinking on every AI box, so you pay the higher rate only when you want the deeper answer.

  • A Fast requestFrom 1 creditEveryday answers. A week's review is typically 1 credit, a month 2, a quarter around 6.
  • A Thinking requestFrom 5 creditsDeeper reasoning for complex plans and long periods. A week's review is typically 5, a month around 9.
  • Voice to text1 credit per 5 minutesFor each started five minutes of audio. A 30-minute recording is 6 credits.
  • Read aloud1 credit per 2 minutesRounded up and shown before you press. Replaying audio you already made is free.
  • An assistant reads or editsFreeReading a day, a table or a list, ticking or editing tasks, setting deadlines, and deleting.
  • An assistant adds or searches1 credit a requestAdding tables, tasks, comments or notes, searching, and reading several days. 25 tasks added count as 1 credit.

You see the price first. Before anything runs you see an estimate, and you're charged for what the AI actually reads and writes.

More data, more credits. A longer period, tables with hundreds of tasks, or a very long answer cost more. A big request asks you first.

Four AI labs, one balance. Gemini is the default; Claude, GPT-6 and Grok are one click away. See every model

If you stop an answer. With Claude, GPT, Grok, Gemini 4 Argon and Gemini 4 Carbon in Thinking, an answer cut short once the AI has started is charged the most it could cost, because their thinking can't be counted once it is cut. On the other models, an answer is charged for what the AI read and wrote up to then, and a plan or table cut short at most its starting price.

Weekly credits renew every Monday (UTC) and are used before any you bought. Need more? Buy them on the Subscription page at $0.05 each, from 50 credits ($2.50). Bought credits never expire.

Sharing with your team

On the Team plan, the people you invite to your tables can use your AI credits. Sharing is on unless you turn it off, with one switch on the Subscription page.

  • It covers people who can edit one of your tables. People who can only view never use your credits.
  • Someone with a plan of their own picks which credits to spend: their own, or your team's.

Where you see your usage

The AI Usage page lists every AI action that used credits, newest first: what it was, the model that answered, and what it cost.
