20€ is available to you per month for the use of tokens. What are tokens? A token is the smallest unit of data processed by an AI. In the case of a speech-generating AI, for example, OpenAI provides a calculator to make token usage accessible: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

You will find the following modules in the main menu:

AI Lab

“Discover the potential of AI with intuitive experimentation tools.”: You can assign a role to the chatbot here using a so-called system prompt.

General chatbot

"Chat with the latest models from OpenAI such as GPT-5": If you select this module, you will have access to a language-generating AI model with which you can interact in natural language.

Document Analyzer

"Understand and analyse documents with the help of AI": If you click on this module, you can upload documents (all common formats: PDF, Word...) in the window that opens and use questions to explore and analyse their content (or have it analysed).

Image generator

Generate images with AI. By entering a prompt, you can generate images with this tool.

Translator

Translate texts and documents with AI.

In all modules, you can see the available credit that you can spend on requests in the top right-hand corner. All modules consume different amounts of tokens depending on your choice of module, the size of your requests and the documents you upload, as well as the language model (GPT 5, GPT 5 nano or GPT 5 mini) you select.

Translate texts and documents with Academic AI. The translator supports scanned documents and offers translations into more than 100 different languages. The formatting of the document/text will remain the same.

Per default you will find a file upload here. Above the file upload, you can find the button "Translate text". Click on it to switch to the text translation module.

Tailored AI

You can use this module to create a customized AI knowledge base. The AI responds based on (up to 150) documents that you have previously uploaded to the platform. Once created, you can click on the three-dot menu at the top right of the Tailored AI title to change and customize it again and again.

1. Click on Tailored AI on the left-hand side of the window

2. Click on + Create a new Tailored AI. Click on Create your Tailored AI in the middle of the window to start the creation process.

3. Give your Tailored AI a name and write a short summary of its functionality (max. 100 characters). Click Next to continue the creation process.

4. In steps 2, 3 and 4, you can optionally change the (display) color and the icon in the title of your Tailored AI, define a welcome message and a conversation starter for users and add documents to the knowledge base. Please be patient: At this point the system needs a little bit of time to upload the documents. Click onto X in the upper right-hand corner to close the document window and click onto Save to upload the documents that you selected. The system will upload these now. If you do not want to do this yet, click Skip. Once you have done this, click Next to continue the creation process.

5. In step 5 / 5 you add instructions to control the responses of your Tailored AI. You can choose from three ready-made templates (General Purpose Assistant, Knowledge Base Assistant and Hybrid Assistant) or create your own Tailored AI by clicking on the Custom template. Click Next to complete the creation process.

6. Optionally, you can invite other users to use your Tailored AI in the last step. Attention! Anyone who has access to your Tailored AI can view and download your (uploaded) data!

You can always edit a Tailored AI once you have created it by clicking onto the three-dot-menu in the upper right-hand corner of the Tailored AI module.
