# Understanding usage: Agent Studio

Workato calculates Agent Studio usage based Genie actions. A Genie action is measured based on the number of prompts sent to a genie.

# Usage calculation rules

Agent Studio usage calculations follow the general usage calculation rules, where successfully executed operations count towards usage and failed actions are excluded.

Workato uses the following additional rules to calculate Agent Studio usage:

  • Genie actions are measured based on each individual prompt sent to the genie. This prompt can be sent by a user or system, such as another genie or App event.
  • App event recipes invoked by a genie are considered billable as Workflows (recipes) and contribute to Business actions.
  • Skill and Knowledge base recipes aren't considered billable as Workflows (recipes) and don't contribute to Business actions. However, if a Skill or Knowledge base recipe includes any of the following operations, they are billable and contribute to usage:
    • IDP: Contributes to Pages processed
    • Event Streams: Contributes to Events processed
    • Recipe functions: The child recipe follows Workflow (recipe) calculation rules and contributes to Business actions.

# Usage counting

Workato uses the following rules to calculate Agent Studio usage:

  • 1 input prompt = 1 Genie action
  • The total Genie action usage is the sum of all input prompts.
  • The total Agent Studio usage is the sum of Genie actions and any additional eligible product capability usage.
