You will use your own free and purchased tokens available in your openai account. - AI•Piper doesn’t buy and sell openai tokens. - User can add their openai api key in apps settings page to access services of GPT-3 == What’s included in subscription == After trial period, AI•Piper requires you to purchase monthly subscription to continue using the keyboard, app and share extension. == What’s not included in subscription == App Subscription does not include any tokens for running openai gpt-3/3.5 queries. User has to seperately setup and maintain paid account at openai.com and purchase ai tokens as per their requirements. Typically openai provides $5 worth of free tokens upon creation of chatgpt/openai account valid for first 3 months. We believe that access to AI engines such as gpt-3 and its future iterations, will become a “utility" with applications everywhere. Hence, it makes sense that users maintain a single account where they buy tokens (i.e., through openai.com) and use it in any apps. This will be a more practical model versus, each developer charging for ai tokens and adding their own margins over something that appears to have properties of a utility. ======= Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone who wants to get more done in less time, AI•Piper is the ultimate tool for anyone who wants to harness the power of GPT-3 AI.
