Understanding ChatGPT Billing:
OpenAI's API runs on a pay-as-you-go model, charging based on the number of tokens processed (both input and output). Rates vary by model and change over time, so rather than list numbers here that can go stale, check OpenAI's official API pricing page for current per-token costs.
Note: A token roughly equates to a word or a few characters. Everyday emails typically use very few tokens, so costs are usually minimal — the pricing page above lets you estimate for your own usage.
By following these steps, you can enhance your Pipeline CRM experience with the AI Email Assistant, leveraging OpenAI's capabilities for more efficient communication.
