Regarding the G Vectors credits for the AI.... Can we buy them in bulk, outside of the subscription? I have over 5k threads on my forum, and would like the AI to scan though most of them to make sure it learns from the content on my site. Just the $25 a month on should be fine for me, but it wont give me enough credits. So can we buy more credits on top of the subscription, and would there be a discount for the first time we buy for big forums 😉
Also, can we rename the AI??
Hi @percysgrowroom ,
Good news is that all your 5k threads will be indexed for free.
Once you connected your real forum to AI API you'll see a button for bonus credits to index your topics for free like this:
Regarding the additional credits. Yes, there are also Credit Packs allowing you to purchase additional credits, they'll be available for those who have at least one Subscription Plan active, you'll see this screen and the Credit Packs are located at the bottom of this page:
Also, can we rename the AI??
The AI services are not named and it's brand free on your forums so there is no names on forum to be renamed. You can change the AI button texts to whatever you want. For example [AI Assistant] can be changed to [AI Search] or so...
@robert Excellent! Thanks for the info Robert! I am waiting eagerly for the stable release!!
Again, very nice work!!
@percysgrowroom have you run any numbers to see how many credits you’ll use on a monthly basis?
@marsm I have no idea....
@percysgrowroom just looking at the pricing model (I think we both have very active forums), it's something like 4 credits for the premium AI and 1 for the lowest/quickest. 3,000 credits/month on professional will vanish very quickly on search alone for our site if it's 1-4 credits for every AI query.
Interesting…
is there a demo forum running v3 with AI?
I don't think the credits will be vanish very quickly. It depends how good you'll introduce new features to your forum members. From wpForo side we did a lot to prevent unnecessary credit spending. This is a good doc about that: https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v3/ai-features/credit-conservation-cost-optimization/
@Robert it's all part of the learning curve for us to maximise our AI features...
Of all the forum software, the biggest improvement came from the wpforo team. This is a massive update. Congratulations. However, I would recommend lowering the prices of your AI credits a bit. There are forums with huge traffic. Nobody wants to constantly wonder how many credits they have left.
When setting prices, you need to consider other countries. There are countries where the dollar is 40 times more valuable.
I'd also like to touch on a different topic. We have a small suggestion regarding plugins. In bulk plugin sales, give people the chance to choose the plugins they want. Believe me, this will be much more efficient.
