Understanding AI Drive Credits

Your AI Drive credits are the key to unlocking advanced capabilities within our platform. You can use your credits for a variety of tasks, including OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and processing with our AI models.

OCR Tasks:

Each page you process with OCR consumes one credit.

AI Model Tasks:

For tasks using our AI models, credit consumption varies. More sophisticated models provide deeper insights and more complex analysis, thus requiring more credits per use.Please refer to the table below for detailed credit usage per task.

Agent Mode

Agent mode lets AI Drive plan and execute multi-step work on your behalf. Because the Agent can think for longer, use higher-power models (including Claude 4.5 Opus and GPT-5), and coordinate multiple tools, credit usage is based on the actual work performed rather than a single prompt/response.

What consumes credits
  • Model reasoning: Time spent by the selected model(s) thinking, planning, and generating results. Higher-tier models (e.g., Claude 4.5 Opus, GPT-5) consume more credits per unit of work than lighter models.
  • Tools used: Each tool the Agent invokes (document reader, web fetch, data extraction, semantic search, comparison, etc.) contributes to usage based on its run time and complexity.
  • Pages read: Credits scale with volume. Reading more pages across more files costs more than reading a few pages in a single file.
  • Web/content retrieval: When the Agent fetches external pages or downloads files for analysis, those actions and any subsequent parsing/reading are counted.
  • Parallel subtasks and retries: When the Agent branches work or retries a step to improve quality, those additional actions are included.
