Is it necessary to add credits on OpenAI or Claude to use it?

    Hello,

    I would like some advice. I really like AI Engine Chatbot system.
    But the problem is that Chatbot is very expensive. It cannot be used for free in either OpenAI or Claude.
    I got 5 dollars free credit to try it from Claude but it ran out in 1 day. They only talked to a few people. I don’t think I can really pay for it. Do you have any other way I can use it for free? Is it necessary to add credits to use it?

    Hi @pungpp,

    AI Engine itself is free, but it’s important to remember that using AI services can be costly. These services require significant resources to run, so it’s understandable that there are associated fees.

    You might want to check out Ollama; it integrates seamlessly with AI Engine through an add-on (https://meowapps.com/products/ollama/). Before diving in, though, make sure you’re familiar with how it works and how to install it: https://ollama.com/.

    It sounds like you’re interested in learning more about AI, which is great ?? Before creating a chatbot, I recommend taking some time to understand the pricing and how these services operate. If possible, ask a developer or a knowledgeable friend to help guide you through the process. Jumping into building something with WordPress, various plugins, and AI services can be challenging if you’re not fully prepared.

    That being said, AI services are actually quite affordable, and for just a few dollars a month, you should be able to run a chatbot without any issues.
