Charges never stack. A slide is billed at the highest tier you touch, so reading a slide and then editing it costs 2 credits in total, not 3.
Opening a presentation is free: the agent receives a markdown summary of every slide as grounding, so it can orient itself across a large deck and charge you only for the slides it actually works on.
Cost formula for a deck:
What a credit costs
There are two ways to get credits:- A subscription grants a monthly allowance that refreshes each billing period.
- Credit packs are one-off top-ups, including your signup grant and any bundles you buy.
Worked examples
- A session is one continuous editing session on the same presentation, lasting up to 24 hours. Reads and writes are charged once per slide within it.
- Failed calls are never charged. Charges apply only when an operation succeeds.
- Running out of credits blocks further reads and writes, but you can still export the deck you have.
