How to Use Artist's Toolkit

Everything you need to get the most out of every feature. From uploading your first CSV to reading AI-powered analysis.

Understanding Credits

Artist's Toolkit uses a credit system for AI-powered features. Your $35 purchase includes 25 credits — enough for dozens of analyses. Credits never expire, and additional packs are available in-app whenever you need more.

1 credit Metrics Deep Dive AI Analysis
3 credits Ask the Expert session (10 turns)
3 credits Ask the Data session (10 turns)
Note: Dashboard views, data uploads, and manual metric entry are always free. Credits are only spent when you trigger an AI feature.
