# Orchids Agent
Source: https://docs.orchids.app/features/orchids-agent

Chat to build

The Orchids Agent is the main way you'll interact with Orchids. You can simply chat with the agent to:

* Build projects from scratch
* Implement and build features
* Fix bugs
* Plan out new features
* Upload files (images, videos, etc.) as reference information

Our agent will take any request you give it and either answer your questions or write the code to implement

**Pricing**

The Orchids Agent uses a usage-based model, which you can read more about [here](/plans-and-token-usage). Each message’s cost depends on its complexity, so you only pay for what you use.
For instance, adding a multiplayer feature to a game you made would use more tokens than simply adding a button.


# Any Payments
Source: https://docs.orchids.app/features/payments-stripe

Use any payments provider (Stripe, Polar, RevenueCat, etc.)

Orchids can set up payments via Stripe with just a single prompt. Simply say "set up payments..." or select on the Payments tab.

## What are Credits?

Credits are the unit of measurement for AI output/work. Each credit represents roughly a single english word. When you interact with Orchids, credits are consumed based on the complexity and length of your request.

**Example credit usage:**

```text theme={null}
"Edit this button" → ~100-500 credits
"Edit this page" → ~1,000 credits  
"Make me a mini mario game" → ~20k credits
"Make me a clone of airbnb with database and auth set up" → ~30k credits
```

**Credit consumption factors:**

* Input text length (your prompts and code)
* Output complexity (generated code, explanations)
* Context size (files being analyzed)
* Models (some models use more credits)

**Credit limits reset monthly.**
