Ted can give your website an AI feature, like a chat that answers visitors’ questions. It runs on Foundable AI, which needs no account or key of its own. Each answer is paid from your credits. AI, in Tools, shows what your website’s AI answered and spent. There you can also set a daily limit, so the AI never spends more than you want. You can pick the model it answers with too.
Your website’s AI calls: the time, the feature, and whether each was answered, failed or refused.
1

Open AI

In Build, press Tools, then AI.
2

Check today

The Today card shows whether the AI is on, how many answers it gave today, and the credits they used.
3

Set a daily limit

Press the Daily limit button and pick a limit from the list, or No limit.
4

Change the model, if you want

Under Settings, press Change model and pick another.
Only the owner and admins can change the limit and the model. Everyone else sees “Only the owner or an admin can change this limit.”

​
What you’ll see

  • Today: the AI’s status, today’s Answers and Credits, and your Daily limit with the time it resets (“Resets at …”), in your own time.
  • Credits per day: the credits your website’s AI used each day for the last 7 days.
  • Calls: every question your website asked the AI, newest first. Each shows its feature, where it came from (Site or Preview) and how it went: “Answered”, “Failed”, “Refused before OpenAI” or “Cut short”. Filter them with All, Failed and Refused, and press Load more for older ones.
  • Settings: the Model your website answers on, and Your OpenAI key.
“No calls yet” means no one has used your website’s AI: “Calls appear when a visitor uses this website’s AI, in its preview or on its published site.”

​
What the status means

While your website’s AI is paused, visitors who use it see: “This feature is taking a short break. Please try again later.”

​
Set a daily limit

The daily limit is the most your website’s AI may spend in one day. A new website starts with a limit already set. To change it, press the Daily limit button and pick another limit, or No limit. The limit resets every day at midnight UTC. AI shows that moment in your own time (“Resets at …”). Calls from your website’s preview count too. Trying your website’s AI while you build uses the same limit and credits as your visitors do.

​
Choose the model

The model is the AI that writes your website’s answers. Settings says which model your website answers on, and whether it’s “Foundable’s default” or “your pick”. Press Change model to pick another. Each model shows about how many credits a typical answer costs. A new model “Applies to this website’s next answer. No rebuild needed.” When OpenAI retires a model, AI tells you the day. It also names the model OpenAI picked in its place, which your website then answers on.

​
Use your own OpenAI key

If you have your own OpenAI account, your websites can use it instead of credits.
1

Open your key settings

In AI, press Manage OpenAI key in Security. Security’s Secrets opens.
2

Add your key

Press Add secret, name it OPENAI_API_KEY, paste your OpenAI key into Value, and press Save.
The status then reads “Your own key”. OpenAI bills you directly, and those calls don’t show in AI or use your credits. Your website’s code picks the model: “Your website calls OpenAI with your own key, so its code picks the model.” Secrets are shared by all your foundable’s websites, so they all use your key. See Security and secrets.

​
Why a call was refused

Press Refused in Calls to see the calls the AI didn’t answer, each with its reason:

​
Keep an eye on spending

  • Home shows a notice when your website’s AI is paused (“AI on … is paused”) or “Your credits are running low”, with Add credits or Change the limit.
  • In Settings › Plans & credit usage, your website’s AI has its own category, Website AI. In Credit activity, each charge reads “AI on” and your website’s name. See Plans and credits.
  • Ted can read your website’s AI usage and change its daily limit and model for you. Adding credits stays yours.

​
