112308453716167457447Q: Credits? What exactly can a single credit do for me?
Please break down how the credits would be spent if I asked alter to do anything- is it one credit per request?
Does it depend on what we are asking of it or number of pages or mins ?
At the least I would want it to a) delete and email / emails if that is possible.
B)Create a document
C) Upload an audio recording to my drive or another software that we log into on a browser?
Also can it only work on apps installed into the mac .

It's not credits, it's real http requests so asking something will cost a request and each turn in your conversation will also cost a request. Creating a document can take 1 request or many if the AI needs to work on it multiple times.
Transcribing an audio recording is another thing totally. Meeting, dictation, transcription is not consuming requests, it's unlimited.
Alter can work with apps on your mac but also be connected with online apps like Gmail, Linear etc.
what can it do hen it it connected to a gmail account? Can it only compose & send emails and attachments or can it delete or carry out other things in the gmail account?
and if so what are the commands I can use in gmail for example?
