Q. How many AI Tokens will I need?

Token use varies based on the size of the prompt used and the resulting response from OpenAI’s api.

We use the OpenAI (aka ChatGPT) API to programmatically request image analysis for automated tagging and describing images.

You can turn auto-tagging and auto-describing on or off, and you can edit the standard prompt used in your account settings (Admin > Settings > Automation).

CharGPT (OpenAI) charges us a fee for Token use which we pass on to customers. All our plans have some included Tokens, plus an overage fee for additional Tokens used during your billing period.

For example: Auto-tagging an image takes around 600 to 1000 tokens per image depending on the prompt used and the response given. So as a rough guide 100,000 tokens will be needed to auto-tag between 100 and 166 images. 1 million Tokens will be needed to autotag between 1000 and 1660 images.

AI Token usage reporting

To help monitor and manage your token usage we’ve added an AI Tokens time-line to your Reporting Dashboard (see below), and a special tabular Open AI calls report, that can be downloaded as a CSV for further analysis.
