Token is a "charge" or SmartBots AI, to be utilized by SmartBots AI engine. Think of token as a short word (~4 characters). Longer words may consume more than 1 token.

Calling SmartBots AI consumes tokens of script owner. Thus, when you [[Bot_Playground/Store|sell]] scripts at Bot Store, your buyers would need to fund tokens balance. As of Oct 2023, each user is eligible for 20,000 free tokens.

== Tokens usage ==

Tokens are consumed for the following parts of a request:

* User message (what resident says to the bot)
* Instructions
* All previous messages (to keep a context)

== Usage example ==

For example:

; 1st message from resident
: Resident: ''"Hello!"''
: Request to AI: "Your instructions" + "Hello"
: Bot response: ''"Hi!"''
: Total tokens: 1 (message) + 2 (instructions) + 1 (response)

; 2nd message
: Resident: ''"Who are you?"''
: Request to AI: "Your instructions + "Hello" (1st message) + "Hi!" (1st response) + "Who are you?" (new message)
: Bot response: ''"I am a bot"''
: Total tokens: 3 (message) + 2 (instructions) + 4 (history) + 4 (response)

Actually the number of tokens will be higher: we also send the bot name, resident name and some system data.

== Tokens report ==

AI functions (like [[Bot_Playground/AI/Conversation.chat|Conversation.chat]]) return tokens usage report, as well as amounts of tokens left. This can be used to warn the script owner about low tokens balance.
