Credit-Based AI Offer
Sell prepaid credits that meter every AI action, making cost transparent and refills the natural next purchase.
What it adds
The builder turns the source files into a prepaid-credit model where each AI action draws down a credit balance and running low prompts a refill. It converts by making AI cost feel controllable — buy a bucket, watch it deplete, top up — instead of an open-ended meter. The primary goal is the first credit purchase followed by a repeatable refill loop.

7The actual instructions, in order.
-
1
Read the source action-cost files first and build a clear map of how many credits each AI action consumes.
-
2
Write a headline that frames credits as controllable AI spend — a bucket you own, not an open meter.
-
3
Design the credit-pack ladder from the source files so buyers pick a starting balance matched to their intended use.
-
4
Build a visible balance component that shows remaining credits and estimated actions left at current pace.
-
5
Trigger a low-balance prompt before credits run out, with one-tap refill and an optional auto-refill toggle.
-
6
Show the per-action cost at the point of use so users connect each AI action to its credit draw, then give a single "buy credits" action.
-
7
Specify responsive behavior: mobile keeps a compact balance chip and bottom-sheet refill; tablet shows balance plus pack options; desktop shows balance, usage history, and the pack ladder together.

- An AI action fails after consuming credits — define the refund-to-balance rule and honor it.
- Per-action credit costs are missing from the source files — flag them; guessing corrupts billing.
- Balance hits zero mid-task — pause gracefully and preserve inputs rather than discarding work.
- Credits expire or roll over — state the policy only if the source files define it, else flag it.
- Auto-refill triggers repeatedly from a runaway job — add a rate guard and cap.

- Failed-action credit handling is defined and non-punitive.
- The credit-pack ladder and per-action cost display use only source-file values.
- Mobile, tablet, and desktop balance/refill layouts are verified.
- The builder reports source files used and flags unresolved credit costs, expiry, or refund rules.

It maps, then builds
Your agent reads the blueprint first, then builds the offer into your app around the product, audience, and stack.
Works with your stack
These blueprints are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and use your source files instead of guessing the offer.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the offer file and tell it exactly which source docs and stack to use.
