Overview
Taskade AI powers everything from app building and content generation to AI agents, automations, and file analysis. This article explains how AI credits work and what each plan includes.
Key insight: Published apps run free ā once you publish, visitors can use the app all they want and it doesn't cost you credits. Credits are consumed only during iteration (you building or editing in the Taskade Genesis editor, chatting with agents, running AI automations).
