Pay for what you use with Automation Units (AU). Each AU represents compute used to reason and execute tasks over SSH.
Automation Units (AU) represent the AI compute required to reason about your instructions, plan execution steps, perform work over SSH, validate results, and retry safely when needed.
AU are not the same as tokens — they're a normalized metric that reflects real compute cost across workloads. You only see AU allowances and usage, never raw token counts.
| Task | ~AU |
|---|---|
| Check disk usage and list large files | 3-5 AU |
| Deploy a Docker container | 10-20 AU |
| Debug and fix a failing service | 30-50 AU |
| Set up a complete CI/CD pipeline | 100-200 AU |
