Credits & Usage

Blueticks uses a credit system for AI-powered features, particularly for the AI Support Agent. The Credits & Usage page allows you to monitor and manage these resources.

Understanding Credits

Credits are the currency used for AI operations within Blueticks. Each AI interaction, such as generating a response to a customer query, consumes a certain number of credits based on complexity and length.

Credit Costs

Blueticks charges credits for different types of operations in your bot workflows:

Session Credits

• 1 credit per session: Each time a new conversation session is started with your bot, 1 credit is consumed
• A session begins when a user first interacts with your bot and continues until the conversation ends

LLM Node Usage

• 1 credit per trigger: Each time an LLM node processes a request, 1 credit is consumed
• This applies regardless of the complexity or length of the prompt
• Multiple LLM nodes in the same flow will each consume 1 credit when triggered

Agent Node Usage

• 1 credit per tool call: Agent nodes consume credits based on the number of tool calls they make
• Unlike other node types, Agent nodes may use multiple credits per interaction because they can make multiple tool calls to complete a task
• For example, if an Agent needs to search your knowledge base twice and send one message, that would consume 3 credits total
• The exact number of credits depends on how many tools the Agent uses to fulfill the user’s request

Cost Examples

Simple bot flow (Message + Question nodes only):

• User starts conversation: 1 credit for session
• Total: 1 credit

Bot with LLM processing:

• User starts conversation: 1 credit for session
• LLM node processes user input: 1 credit
• Total: 2 credits

Bot with Agent node:

• User starts conversation: 1 credit for session
• Agent searches knowledge base: 1 credit
• Agent sends response: 1 credit
• Total: 3 credits (may vary based on agent actions)

Credits Dashboard

The Credits & Usage page provides a comprehensive overview of your AI credit usage:

Credits Remaining

At the top of the page, you’ll see your current credit balance:

• Total Available: The number of credits you have remaining (e.g., 317/400)
• Usage Percentage: Visual indicator of how much of your credit allocation you’ve used (e.g., 20.8% used)
• Renewal Information: When your credits will refresh (e.g., “Renews in 30 days”)

Usage Graph

The usage graph displays your credit consumption pattern over time, helping you:

• Identify usage trends
• Plan for future credit needs
• Spot unusual activity

Usage Filters

You can filter the usage data by:

• Time period: Last 30 days, Last 7 days, Custom range
• Bot: View usage by specific AI agents if you have multiple

Overview vs. By Bot

Toggle between:

• Overview: See aggregated usage across all bots
• By Bot: Break down usage per individual AI agent
