Aeolo uses credits for server-side work. Read-only commands should be cheap or free; background analysis and generation consume credits.

Current product assumptions

  • Default article writing is priced as a 5-credit action.
  • Reference analysis and short-form analysis are also credit-metered.
  • Higher-quality or multi-candidate modes may cost more.
The backend is the source of truth. Frontend or agent copy should describe modes, not hardcoded provider names.
