Do AI assistant credits also pay for the texts, calls and emails the assistant sends?

No. AI assistant credits pay only for the AI assistant's own work: building websites, apps, agents, workflows and other items, and answering you. Anything the assistant sets in motion that has its own price is charged at that service's normal usage price from your wallet. For example, if you tell the assistant to send 10,000 text messages, the assistant part is covered by credits, but you still pay the normal cost of each text message. Voice, phone, SMS and email usage are billed separately, buying a phone number does not use credits, and AI images and videos the assistant makes are charged as image and video generation.

You are charged credits for creating something, not for using it afterwards. Once a website is built, there is no cost to host or run it; you only spend more if you later ask the assistant to add pages or make bigger changes. When the AI builds an automation or workflow, building it uses credits, and after that it does not keep consuming assistant credits. Each time the workflow runs, it is billed for the emails, texts and calls it sends, and there is no monthly server fee.

Scheduled tasks, AI workers and builds use credits each time the assistant does the work, whether you or a sub-account started them.

Included credits: the Founders Plan includes $297 of AI assistant credit every month for as long as you stay subscribed, usable across all your sub-accounts. These credits are dedicated to assistant use, so up to that amount you do not pay for assistant use on top of the plan price. Included credits do not roll over from month to month. Light use, such as occasional websites and AI agents, uses far less than $297 a month, while building many complex apps or running many scheduled tasks and AI workers on large lead lists can use more.
