AI Tokens & Pricing Genesys PureCloud AI Tokens & Pricing Documentation Study Notes Topic Description Token Model Consumption-based pricing for AI features Monthly Allocation 250 tokens for named users, 350 for concurrent users Pricing ~$1.00 per additional token beyond allocation Consumption Tracking Per-feature metering with detailed reporting Fair Use Policy Most customers covered by included allocation Billing Monthly renewal with no carryover Navigation Admin → Billing & Subscriptions → AI Experience Tokens OR Reports → Usage → AI Token Consumption AI Tokens Overview Genesys Cloud implements a comprehensive token-based pricing model for AI features across CX 1-4 license tiers. The platform offers a suite of AI capabilities including Agent Copilot, AI Scoring, Translation, Virtual Agent services, predictive routing, and analytics with flexible consumption-based pricing. Genesys Cloud AI Experience tokens help you monitor and manage feature consumption and offer flexibility for changing business needs. Tokenization in AI is a way to track AI engagement in real time by allocating fixed units of measurement to usage costs. This allows organizations to pay only for what they use, providing a scalable, cost-efficient way to integrate AI into operations. Default Token Allocations Named User Model : 250 tokens per user per month Concurrent User Model : 350 tokens per month Organization Level : Shared token pool across all users Renewal : Monthly renewal with no carryover Additional Tokens : Available at ~$1.00 per token (pricing varies by currency) Edition & Module Requirements Requirement Details Minimum Edition All Genesys Cloud CX tiers include base tokens Token Access All CX 1-4 organizations receive default allocation Ordering New customers have access by default Additional Tokens Purchase through AppFoundry or Genesys representative Billing Included on monthly invoice with consumption tracking Study Notes - Token Consumption by Feature Feature Unit Tokens Required Use Case Agent Copilot Per user 40-60/month Real-time agent assistance AI Scoring Per evaluation 1 token per 20 evals Quality management AI Translate Per minute 1 token per 100 min Multilingual transcripts Voice Bots Per minute 1 token per 17 min IVR automation Digital Bots Per session 1 token per 51 sess Chat/messaging automation Messaging Per message 1 token per 400 msg Direct messaging channels Social Per post 1 token per 400 post Social media listening Virtual Agent Per session 2 tokens per session Autonomous conversation Predictive Routing Per interaction Included Agent routing optimization Analytics Per user 30-45/month Analytics access Token Consumption Details Agent Copilot Consumption : 40-60 tokens per user per month Factors Affecting : Interaction volume (more interactions = more tokens) Knowledge article access frequency AI feature usage intensity (summaries, wrap-up code suggestions) Number of agents using Copilot Example : 100 agents with heavy Agent Copilot use = 4,000-6,000 tokens/month Recommendation : Budget 50 tokens per user as safe estimate AI Scoring (Virtual Supervisor) Consumption : 1 token per 20 evaluations Calculation : 100 interactions/day × 20 working days = 2,000/month 2,000 ÷ 20 = 100 tokens/month Example : Medium contact center (400 interactions/day) ≈ 400 tokens/month Optimization : Batch evaluations when possible AI Translate Consumption : 1 token per 100 minutes of transcript Use Case : Converting multilingual transcripts Example : 10 hours of multilingual review/month = ~6 tokens Application : Quality management, supervisor reviews Voice Bots Consumption : 1 token per 17 minutes Calculation : 1,000 bot interactions × 5 min avg = 5,000 minutes 5,000 ÷ 17 = ~294 tokens/month Example : Heavy bot deployment = 300-500 tokens/month Optimization : Improve bot deflection rate to reduce minutes Digital Bots Consumption : 1 token per 51 sessions Calculation : 1,000 bot sessions/month = 1,000 ÷ 51 = ~20 tokens Example : Moderate chat bot use = 50-100 tokens/month Optimization : End sessions efficiently to reduce token use Messaging Channels Consumption : 1 token per 400 messages Channels : Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Apple Business Chat Calculation : 10,000 messages/month = 10,000 ÷ 400 = 25 tokens Example : Multi-channel deployment = 100-500 tokens/month depending on volume Optimization : High-volume channels provide better token efficiency Social Media Listening & Responses Consumption : 1 token per 400 posts Application : Social listening and outbound responses Calculation : 2,000 social posts/month = 2,000 ÷ 400 = 5 tokens Example : Active social presence = 50-200 tokens/month Optimization : Focus on highest-value channels Virtual Agent Sessions Consumption : 2 tokens per session Session Definition : Single customer interaction on any channel Calculation : 100 virtual agent sessions/day × 20 days = 2,000 sessions 2,000 × 2 = 4,000 tokens/month Example : High-volume automation = 2,000-5,000+ tokens/month Optimization : Improve automation rates to use fewer sessions Predictive Routing Consumption : Included (no token cost) Benefit : Available at no additional cost Note : Foundational AI feature included with platform Speech & Text Analytics Consumption : 30-45 tokens per user per month Factors : Licensing type (supervisory vs. analyst) Typical Range : 500-2,000 tokens/month depending on user count Predictive Engagement
