Hi everyone,
Thank you again for all the candid feedback on AI credits that you’ve shared with us though the community and other channels. Just to reiterate—we’ve read and discussed every comment. We’ve been working diligently on some updates behind the scenes, but I thought it might be helpful to offer some early transparency.
Taking a step back, our goals were for AI to feel included for the vast majority of makers, but we needed some limits to manage costs in extreme scenarios. We wanted to design a system that scales, and can cater to teams that have power users, while still giving flexibility for other team members to test out AI.
That said, we understand the credit system has created some challenges, particularly for soloists and small teams that use AI a lot, since they don’t have additional teammates to add as Doc Makers. We also heard your feedback about wanting better visibility into where credits are going, so they can be aligned with the use cases that provide the highest value. Given this, we quickly fast-tracked some updates, which we’re hard at work on building:
- We’re going to introduce AI credit packages so any team, regardless of size, can get the credits they need. For those who’d rather not think about credits at all, we will include an option to purchase “unlimited AI” for your workspace, billed as a monthly charge for each Doc Maker in your workspace.
- We’re adding self-serve dashboards to help you understand where your credits are going. While this has been on our roadmap, it’s been fast-tracked. If you have any usage questions in the meantime, our support team is happy to help answer questions about your account.
- We’re creating a richer preview window for AI column prompts. Currently, if you add AI to a table column, you can see a small preview, which does not deduct any credits. We’ve been working on a larger and more detailed interface, so you can feel confident in the output before using credits to fill every row.
- We’re making updates throughout the product to improve credit efficiency. We’re changing some of the default settings and doing further research on how we can help drive credit usage where makers are getting the commensurate value.
We have additional product updates in the works that will help makers get even more value from Coda AI, and we’ll share further details soon. Thank you again to everyone who has been engaging with us. We’ll share some more news with you all as soon as we can.
Thanks,
David
