Use AmplifyAI efficiently

Choose settings and files that fit the task, and keep an eye on your usage.

Models and settings

Use Off or Low reasoning for most tasks
Writing, summaries, brainstorming, planning, and routine analysis rarely need Medium or High. Use those levels for unusually complex mathematics or coding.
Use Web Search when you need current information
Select the globe icon beneath the prompt window to turn it on. Leave it off for tasks that do not need current web information.

Images and files

AmplifyAI is not intended for image generation. However, all models can analyze uploaded images. Check small text, numbers, and other consequential details yourself. GPT-5.6 Luna also supports simple image creation.

Upload only the files needed for the task. If a file is not recognized, confirm the upload finished, mention its filename, reattach it, or convert a scanned PDF to searchable text.

Usage limits

How your AmplifyAI usage allowance works, with a 100-page paper example comparing Luna and Haiku. A text version follows.

Read the infographic as text

Your allowance covers AI computing usage. It is not a charge to you. Your prompt, conversation history, and uploaded files use capacity. Large files or multiple attachments increase usage. Longer answers and full rewrites also use more capacity. Model choice, reasoning settings, and web search affect usage.

Example: Same 100-page paper, different usage

  • Summarize the paper: GPT 5.6 Luna: 1–1.5¢; Claude Haiku: 13–21¢.
  • Proofread and revise all 100 pages: GPT 5.6 Luna: 6–9¢; Claude Haiku: 70¢–$1.20.

Returning a fully revised paper increases usage because the AI generates the full document. These are illustrative estimates from the usage guide, not charges to you. Actual usage varies with length, formatting, chat history, model, and response length.

Use a lower cost model like GPT 5.6 Luna. Keep reasoning Off or Low for routine tasks. Request only the detail you need.
