Understand Token usage in Pergamon

Pergamon uses two types of tokens to power different features in the platform. Each token type supports a unique workflow and ensures predictable usage across your workspace.

This article explains what each token type is, where tokens are consumed, and how they are calculated.

1. Pergami Tokens

Used for all AI-powered features.

Pergami Tokens are consumed whenever the system performs AI processing, generation, analysis, or translation.

Where Pergamon Tokens are used

1. AI Prompting – 1 token per prompt

When you submit any prompt through the AI Writing Assistant in the Editor, 1 Pergami Token is consumed.

Actions that consume tokens include:

• New prompt

• Follow up prompts

2. Uploading AI Resources

Uploading files to the AI Resource Library consumes tokens based on file type.

Tokens are consumed when the file begins processing. If processing fails, no tokens are deducted.

3. AI Translation (Translate by AI)

Translation token usage is based on the word count of the document being translated.

You will always see a confirmation message before tokens are consumed. Translations consume tokens per target language.

2. Manual Creation Tokens

Used for exporting manuals and publications.

User Manual Tokens are separate from Pergami Tokens and are dedicated specifically to document exports.

Where Manual Creation Tokens are used

1. Creating documents using automated document assembly

When you create a document, 1 User Manual Token is consumed.

Viewing or editing your assembled content in the Editor does not consume tokens
