One model call runs per contact who reaches the step, reads their data, and picks exactly one case. Costs one credit per contact, charged when the step executes; a failed model call is refunded, and a workspace with no credits left skips the step (visible in the campaign log) so the contact keeps moving along the fallback path. See [AI credits](/guides/ai-credits/). - **Value.** Give the step a template value (for example `{{.Industry}}` or any custom field). It is rendered per contact and matched to the case names. Matching is forgiving about formatting: casing and extra whitespace are ignored, so ` VIP Customer` matches the case `vip customer`. For pattern matching, wrap a case name in slashes to make it a case-insensitive regex (for example `/^(vip|enterprise)/`); plain cases are checked first, then regex cases in order, and the first match wins. A value matching no case takes the `otherwise` dot. No model call, no credits, fully deterministic. +The AI decider has two optional capabilities, toggled per step: + +- **Web search** looks up the contact's company on the web (query built from their company, name, or corporate email domain, never from email content) and feeds the top results into the decision. Costs 1 extra credit when the search finds results. +- **Extended thinking** routes the call to the stronger model tier with a bigger reasoning budget for genuinely hard routing decisions. The extra cost flows through usage metering (see [AI credits](/guides/ai-credits/)). + With the AI decider, the decision can be grounded in the whole story so far. Under **What AI can see**, each step controls whether the model also gets the contact's campaign history (which steps ran, opens, clicks, replies, earlier outcomes) and the newest email received from them, on top of the contact's fields. Both are on by default. The contact's email and profile fields are treated strictly as content to evaluate: instructions inside an email ("ignore your rules", "pick X") are ignored, and the model can only ever answer with one of the cases you named. Switch steps always run on the normal schedule: when an instant reply branch leads into one, the instant chain pauses there and the scheduler runs the switch at the next boundary. diff --git a/internal/app/credits/costs.go b/internal/app/credits/costs.go index 63ac3351..b27710ab 100644 --- a/internal/app/credits/costs.go +++ b/internal/app/credits/costs.go @@ -28,6 +28,10 @@ const ( // CostInboxAgentThread is one inbound thread handled by the inbox agent.
