Understanding Student Points

Understanding Student Points
Student Points (SP) are the credit system used to access AI-powered features in Academly. This section explains how points work and how to manage them.
What this section is about
Student Points represent usage credits for AI generation features. Each generation request (summaries, theory paragraphs, methodology drafts) consumes a certain number of points based on the complexity and length of the output.
