AI Spending
# 🤝help

Is there a way to use your own knowledge base without using Ai tokens. And is there a way to never use any AI tokens in botpress or does every action use Ai tokens. f you have any resource on how to spend the lest amount of Ai spending I would love to see them.
b
no, by definition querying a knowledge base uses AI
you can create what we affectionately call a "dumb" bot - you can turn off the knowledge and summary agents and use other features like buttons and messages which won't consume ai tokens
g
insterting do you have any resource I can look at for that
alos if I pull from a google sheet with answers would that cost ai spending or is that also consider your own knowledge base
b
making api calls to an external resource like a google sheet wouldn't use ai tokens, no
g
ok that might be the move
b
you also don't need to spend anything, you can test these features yourself with the free monthly credit we give you
g
yep for some reason my cost jump to $2.50 over night but I will try tthe google sheet way and get back to you thank you for your help
b
check your knowledge agent - if you're using GPT-4, that's about 20x more expensive than 3.5-turbo
(and more performant, of course!)

Hey @bumpy-butcher-41910 , last month when my AI Spend was maxed out at $5/$5, the queries to the knowledge base were still working fine. From an AI spend perspective, it had hit the limit but all questions were still being answered correctly and the chatbot was retrieving those answers from the knowledge base. This month this doesn't seem to be the case as I've hit the cap of $5 after only a couple of days. From what I've read, what I'm writing here doesn't seem possible, but it is what was happening last month.. The KB content was a mix of websites + word documents uploaded filled with text. Do you know how this could be possible or what am I missing?
