AI overview

Frostbyte's three AI features, what each one costs in credits, and when to reach for them.

Frostbyte has three AI features. They share a single monthly credit pool, no per-call charges, no surprise bills, one number that ticks down as you use them. For pool sizes, reset cadence, and Stripe details, see Billing & credits.

The three actions

Action Credits When to use it
Auto project setup 5 Bootstrap a fresh project with AI-suggested areas, releases, and starter tasks.
Release notes generator 2 Turn a completed release into shareable markdown notes.
Convert feedback to task 1 Accept a Feedback Hub submission and convert it directly into a typed task.

Costs are fixed per action, regardless of how many tokens the underlying model spends. "Release notes generator costs 2 credits, every time."

What's NOT credit-gated

The following don't consume AI credits regardless of tier:

  • MCP server — every authenticated user with a bearer token gets full MCP access. No LLM is invoked on Frostbyte's side, MCP is plain database access.
  • Plugin — installing the Frostbyte plugin in Claude Code or Codex doesn't cost anything.
  • All non-AI features — Feedback Hub, GitHub integration, PDF export, CSV, etc.

AI credits gate actions that actually invoke an LLM in our infrastructure. Tools that only read or write your own database don't use inference and shouldn't cost.

Hitting the limit

When you hit zero credits, the next AI action returns an upgrade prompt instead of running. You don't get a partial result; the action just doesn't fire. Upgrading or waiting for the cycle reset both unblock you.

This applies even on Free. Free users can call AI features, they just have a small pool. The 10-credit Free tier is enough to evaluate the AI flow (a single auto-bootstrap costs 5).
