A Pickaxe is an AI tool, either a chatbot or a form, that is powered with a prompt. In addition to the prompt, you can power your Pickaxe with documents, websites, videos, special instructions, API endpoints, and more. To get started, build a Pickaxe in our no code AI builder.

1 credit equals 1 use. Every time you push the “submit” or “test” button to run your Pickaxe, you use one credit. If you embed a Pickaxe in a website or put it in a studio, every time anyone runs the tool there, it uses one of your credits. If strangers use your tool on the Pickaxe website, they will use their own credits. To get more credits, you can buy them, upgrade to Gold, or enter your own API key (unlimited usage).
