RE: [EXTERNAL] IBM Bob Premium Package for i: AI-Powered Modernization Built for IBM i Developers

Greg,

I was the one that asked about the "burn rate" on the tokens. Based upon their answer, it shows in the top-right corner for each given session of Bob. Holding that to be true, for the demo, I believe I saw a number near 4 (just under). So, that would be 4 Bob Coins.

Now, let's consider this - that was specially chosen as a "small, easy example" - so I think we can extrapolate from that for a reasonable, medium task, and then again for a complex, real-world task.

I keep hearing two words in my mind - not cheap.

Steve

I was on that call and they didn't cover pricing at all.

After watching this, does anyone have a grasp on how Bob Coins are
consumed?
How do I know what this is going to cost me each year?

IBM: Look at this awesome new product
Me: Wow, I'm very interested. How much does it cost?
IBM: We created a fictious currency that is consumed as you use it,
so we can't really tell you.

Am I missing something?
