The future is based on AI agents like chatbots, and implementing an AI credit system will help us get a big pie of this revolution. We should implement a top-up credit system where users can buy tokens or word credits directly from our platform for AI usage. This would simplify access to AI services and allow us to capture the profits from AI usage, rather than letting users go through the hassle of obtaining an API from OpenAI.

Simplified Explanation:

1. Current Model:
- Users need to get an API from OpenAI, which is cumbersome and doesn't generate direct revenue for us separate from the platform subscription for ChatBot.

2. Proposed Model:
- Users purchase tokens or word credits directly from our platform.
- This makes accessing AI services easier and lets us capture the revenue directly.

Example:

1. Cost of GPT-4:
- $0.03 per 1,000 prompt tokens.
- $0.06 per 1,000 response tokens.
- 1,000 tokens ≈ 750 words.

2. User Top-Up:
- Users top up their account with $20.
- They receive $10 worth of AI usage, approximately 250,000 words of response generation.

3. Profit Margin:
- Users pay $20 but get $10 worth of AI usage.
- The remaining $10 is profit for us.

Key Points:
- User Convenience: Easier access without dealing with external APIs.
- Revenue Generation: Directly captures revenue from AI usage.
- Market Trend: Aligns with successful AI companies' strategies.
- Immediate Action: We should consider implementation now to capitalize on current opportunities.

Additional Feature:
- AI Credit Counter:
- Currently, BotSailer displays subscriber and message counts at the top.
- Add an AI credit counter next to these.
- Users can click on the AI credit counter to top-up whenever it is low
- the system can be set to auto renew or top-up AI credit automatically from available payment methods when it is below some threshold.

This system would streamline the user experience and significantly boost our profitability more than the usual subscription. We are in the AI revolution, and we are leaving money on the table with old strategies.
