Getting More Out of Your Credits
A few habits stretch your credit balance further. They mostly come down to keeping the agent's working context lean and your asks precise.
1. Start a New Conversation When You Switch Topics
The agent carries the entire conversation forward on every turn. If you've been refining one lesson and want to start working on something different, open a new chat. Continuing in the same conversation drags along context the agent no longer needs — and the longer that context gets, the more you pay per turn and the more the agent tends to get bogged down and lose focus. A fresh chat is both cheaper and sharper.
Same topic → keep going. New topic → new chat.
2. Be Specific in Your Prompts
A vague prompt costs more than a specific one. The agent has to clarify, explore, and revise to figure out what you actually wanted, and each round-trip adds up. A precise first message lands closer to the right output the first time.
More expensive:
"Make a forklift training."
Cheaper:
"Create a lesson teaching new warehouse employees how to safely operate a forklift. Cover pre-operation inspection, basic controls, load handling, and common hazards. Include a scenario and an end-of-lesson assessment."

3. Be Intentional About Which Documents You Attach
Only attach documents that are actually relevant to what you're building. Extra uploads cost credits as the agent works through them, and they also raise the odds the agent gets distracted or pulls in material you didn't want. If a long document only has one relevant section, say so up front.
4. Keep Editable Video Scripts Tight
Editable video is billed by script length — every ~1,000 characters of spoken text costs the same fixed amount. A 90-second scene that says the same thing as a 30-second scene costs three times as much. Trim filler before you generate.
