Your AI credit count determines how many requests you can send to the AI Agent in your plan. Each prompt you send in the AI Agent tab uses one AI credit.

What uses an AI credit

Use an AI credit when you ask the AI Agent to:

  • Generate a new section or page
  • Update text, images, sections, or layout
  • Add or modify functionality
  • Fix issues or bugs
  • Brainstorm ideas or answer a question

Note: Follow-up replies that continue the same change also use AI credits.

How AI credits work

AI credits are used when the AI Agent completes any of the following actions:

  • Reads your request and sends a reply
  • Reads your request, updates your website, and saves a new version with restore capability

AI credits aren't used when you:

  • Generate your initial website design
  • Navigate the B12 editor
  • Preview your site
  • Edit code manually (without prompting the AI Agent)
  • Restore a previous version

Plan options

Your available AI credits depend on your subscription plan.

Best practices

Get the most from your AI credits:

  • Plan your changes before you prompt
  • Refine ideas using external LLMs
  • Limit brainstorming/ questioning with the AI Agent to conserve credits

  • Use clear, specific instructions, combining related changes when appropriate

  • Use restore to undo changes instead of prompting

AI Agent vs. visual edit and code changes

B12 gives you three ways to update your website: using the AI Agent, make visual edits to text and images, or editing code directly. Choose the method that best fits your change and skill level.

Use the AI Agent to:

  • Generate or rewrite content
  • Generate new images or update generated images
  • Make changes involving multiple elements or complex logic
  • Implement changes when you're not sure how to code them

The AI Agent handles the implementation for you. Each AI Agent request uses one AI credit from your monthly quota.

Use Visual edits to:

  • Replace or update simple text/copy
  • Replace images with an image from your library or upload a new image
  • Adjust or enhance images with the buit-in image editor

Use code changes to:

  • Adjust small styling details
  • Save AI credits for bigger tasks
  • Edit HTML, CSS, or JavaScript directly
  • Make changes when you know exactly what code to modify

Code changes, text edits, and image edits don't use AI credits and give you immediate control over your site's appearance and behavior.

Save after each edit to preserve your work. If something goes wrong after a code change, use the restore option in the AI Agent chat to revert to a previous version.

Caution: Only make code changes if you're comfortable with code editing. Incorrect code edits can break your website's functionality or appearance.
