# Tabby Talk credits and tips for better results

This article explains what Tabby Talk costs to use and how to get the most from each request.

## Credits

Tabby Talk runs on credits. Your plan includes a monthly allowance that everyone in your organization shares.

| Action | Credits |
| ---- | ---- |
| An Agent task | 0.5 |
| A chat message | 1 |
| Each file Tabby Talk creates, such as an invoice, bill or estimate | 1 more |

The message box always shows what the next request costs and how many credits are left, for example "Task · 0.5 credits · 290 left".

To see the full picture, click the credits button at the top of the page while you're in Tabby Talk.

The panel shows how many credits are left, how many went to Agent requests and chat requests, and the date your credits reset. Click **Terms** to read the terms you agreed to and see when you agreed.

### If you run out

The credits button changes color when you're running low. When there aren't enough credits for a request, Tabby tells you instead of running it.

Click **Upgrade Plan** to see plans with more credits, or wait for the reset date shown in the message.

## Tips for better results

* **Name names.** Include the customer or vendor, the amount and the period. "What did I spend on travel in Q3?" beats "How's my spending?"
* **One job at a time.** Tabby handles a single task per request more reliably than three bundled together.
* **Read the approval card.** It shows exactly what will change. A few seconds here saves a correction later.
* **Use Undo right away.** If a result isn't what you wanted, the Undo button under it is the quickest fix.
* **Ask it to show its work.** Choices like "Show me the transactions first" exist so you can check before you commit.
