# The AI agents in Paige

> Paige has four builder agents in the chat sidebar, each scoped to what you're doing. Three of them bill against your credits; the Help Agent is always free.

Paige gives you four AI agents in the chat sidebar. Each is scoped to a part of the dashboard, so the agent you're talking to matches whatever you're doing.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Code Agent" icon="code" href="/agents/code-agent">
    Builds and edits your bot from plain-language instructions. Your main way to change what the bot does.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conversations Agent" icon="messages-square" href="/agents/conversations-agent">
    Helps you work through your inbox — finding contacts, reading history, and drafting replies for you to send.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Broadcasting Agent" icon="megaphone" href="/agents/broadcasting-agent">
    Builds audiences, drafts templates, and assembles campaigns for you to approve. Never sends on its own.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Help Agent" icon="circle-help" href="/agents/help-agent">
    Answers questions about Paige itself — how features work and where to find things. Always free.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  These builder agents are separate from **[the AI in your bot](/guides/ai-in-your-bot)** — the AI that runs inside your deployed bot and talks to your customers on WhatsApp. That one is your own code and bills differently; see [Free versus billed](#free-versus-billed) below.
</Note>

## Free versus billed

Only one of the four agents is free.

| Agent                                              | Cost                        |
| -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| [Code Agent](/agents/code-agent)                   | Billed against your credits |
| [Conversations Agent](/agents/conversations-agent) | Billed against your credits |
| [Broadcasting Agent](/agents/broadcasting-agent)   | Billed against your credits |
| [Help Agent](/agents/help-agent)                   | **Free**                    |

The **Help Agent is free** and always will be. It never looks at your credit balance — the check that decides whether a request is allowed short-circuits before it, and its usage is never recorded against your account. That's why it keeps working even when your credits have run out: you're never locked out of asking Paige for help.

The **Code, Conversations, and Broadcasting agents bill** against your [credits](/guides/billing#ai-credits). The more work you ask of them, the more they use.

## Where your spend shows up

Go to **Settings → Usage** and you'll see spend broken out **per agent**, each as its own labelled line item:

* **Code Agent**
* **Conversations Agent**
* **Broadcasts Agent**
* **Help Agent** — shown, but marked **Free** rather than carrying a credit figure

So you can see exactly which agent spent what, rather than a single lumped total.

<Warning>
  **The AI in your bot never appears in this ledger.** The AI inside your deployed bot calls **OpenAI** using your own API key, so you pay OpenAI directly on your own account — that spend has nothing to do with your Paige credits and never shows up under Settings → Usage. See [The AI in your bot](/guides/ai-in-your-bot).
</Warning>

For everything about credits, top-ups, and the subscription that runs your bot, see [Billing](/guides/billing).
