Does it cost anything to add my team?

For pricing purposes, what is an “agent”?
An agent is basically a single AI chatbot. Each agent is self-contained and trained only on the data you give it. Our Standard $99 plan lets you have 10 active agents (Premium: 25), and Enterprise plans support more.
So, for example: You could create one agent with your website content. And create a separate agent with your support documents for internal use.
You can delete unused agents to stay within your plan limits. This lets you create “throwaway” agents for quick use.
For pricing purposes, what is a “document”?
A “document” is basically a single resource like a webpage, an uploaded file, a video or an audio file. Our Standard $99 plan lets each agent have up to 5,000 documents (Premium: 20,000). This could mean 5,000 webpages. Or 5,000 uploaded files. Or a mix of webpages, files and videos.
So, for example: You could create an agent with your website content which has 3,250 webpages. Then add 1,000 files from your support team. Then add 750 YouTube videos. This would make it 3,250 + 1,000 + 750 = 5,000 documents.
Important: When your agent hits the plan’s document limit, the system will stop crawling and processing new documents. And you will see the “LIMITED” icon in your crawl status page. It is recommended to sign up for the correct plan depending on the number of documents your business needs.
One common misconception: If your PDF file has 100 pages, it counts as 1 document in our system, not 100.
Do you have an affiliate program?
Yes – please see information about our partner program.

There you will find options to update your email, name and password. If you encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance at hello@customgpt.ai
How can I reset my password if I have forgotten it and cannot access my account?
From the Login page, select the “Forgot password?” option to reset your password.
I have deleted documents from my chatbot. Why is my words-indexed limit not resetting?
It does now. Your limit counts words stored: the active words from your indexed content across all of your agents. It works like storage on a phone or computer, so when you delete documents, the words they held come off your total.
What pricing plan do I need?
You can select a pricing plan to meet your business need based on the amount of data you want to utilize, and number of CustomGPT.ai chatbot queries you want to offer per month.
A good rule of thumb: 10M words is about 50 MB of data (your actual words might vary!)
It is recommended to sign up for a higher plan and then adjust later because indexing will stop immediately when you hit your plan limits.
Are the plan limits per agent? Or across the full account?
The plan limits are across the entire account. For example: If you sign up for the $99/month plan, you can store 60 million words across 10 “agents”. This allows you to share your plan limits across the 10 agents.
It is recommended to sign up for the correct plan based upon the total data you plan on indexing.
