Eli, your assistant

Is there a limit on how much I can use Eli?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Every account has a daily allowance of messages to Eli, counted per account across the website and the app. Taps on confirm cards and choosers do not count. When the day's messages are used, Eli reopens the next day and every page still works as usual.

Eli is included for signed-in hosts. To keep it fair for everyone, a few limits apply.

Messages per day

Your account has a daily allowance of messages to Eli. It is counted per account, not per device, so messages sent from the app and from the website share one allowance. The day is counted in universal time.

What does not count:

  • A tap on a confirm card.
  • A tap on a chooser card.

What does count:

  • Each message you type or dictate.
  • A design you choose on the catalogue while Eli is waiting, since that comes back to the chat as your message.

When the allowance is used, Eli says so and tells you it opens again tomorrow. Everything still works from the pages themselves. In the app, a line under the composer shows how many messages are left once you are close to the end.

One reply at a time

Eli writes one reply at a time in each chat. You can keep typing while a reply streams in, but Send waits until the reply is finished. A message that arrives while Eli is still writing is answered "One moment, I'm still on your last message." and is not kept.

Work Eli does in one reply

While writing one reply, Eli may call only so many of the website's functions. Past that, it writes what it found and what is left, and you can ask it to carry on.

Builds

Building an invitation through Eli uses AI Build, so AI Build's own hourly cap applies, one build at a time per chat. A second build asked for within a few seconds is taken as a retry and refused.

Attached guest lists

On the website you can attach a CSV or Excel guest list of a reasonable size. Very long typed lists are better sent as a file: past a few hundred typed rows, Eli asks for the file instead. The app cannot attach a file yet, so paste the list as words there.

Your other allowances

Guests, weekly e-mails, Design Genie briefs and live invitations are your plan's allowances, not Eli's. They are enforced by the same functions the pages use. See How plans work and Pricing.
