Pay-per-use platforms charge every time a worker makes a decision. We don't.
Wherever possible, your business rules are built in as fixed checks that never use
AI. Before you build, each design comes with an estimate of its running cost, and
the Studio points out where a worker could cost less and behave more predictably.
Decisions that still need AI use your own AI accounts, or AI models you run yourself.
Each AI agent has a cap on how many steps it can take, and you can set a time limit
for each run. For AI systems that make the same decisions all day, the Cognitive
Engine can take proven routine decisions off the AI bill entirely. It is a separate
product, not part of Nx·Studio workers.
Because you run the software yourself, there is no license fee and no meter counting
decisions. Using it more never raises what you pay us. Your AI provider bills you
separately for any AI your workers use.
Our business model backs this up: you pay us to build your workers, not to run them.
A supplier that charges per use earns more the more you depend on it. We would rather
you were independent. Ongoing help is optional, on your terms.
