Overview 

Purpose 

Explain what T3Planet Credits is and when to use it.

What it is 

T3Planet Credits is T3Planet’s managed AI access in AI Foundation (ns_t3af):

• You do not need your own OpenAI / Anthropic / similar keys for billable AI
• AI Foundation sends those calls to T3Planet
• Usage is counted in credits

Requirements 

• AI Foundation (EXT:ns_t3af) installed and active
• Server can reach the T3Planet Credits API (for Credits mode)
• No product licence key is required for AI Foundation itself
• Your name and email, if TYPO3 asks for them when you start the free trial
• A claim code only if you bought credits on t3planet.de, or you are recovering an account (see Use a claim code)

What's covered 

When Credits is active, it can cover:

• Text completion
• Streaming
• Embeddings
• Text-to-speech (TTS)
• Image generation

Own API Keys vs Credits 

Selected vs Active 

• Selected — Credits card chosen; no access token yet. Complete Activate (free trial) or use a claim code (credits you bought) to finish setup.
• Active — This site is connected to a credits account and the access token is stored. AI can run through Credits. No licence key is involved.

Where credits come from 

• Free trial credits when you click Activate
• Plans and top-ups bought in the backend (Buy credits)
• Credits bought on https://t3planet.de/ki-credits and connected with a claim code (Use a claim code)

When to use Credits 

• You want AI without managing vendor keys
• You want one shared credit pool

Use Own API Keys when you already manage vendor keys yourself.

What uses credits 

Credits are used when Credits is active and an AI Foundation AI call completes successfully through T3Planet.

Opening modules or only switching the card does not use credits.
