Getting Started

How do I pause an agent to save credits?

Pausing unused agents is one of the most effective ways to optimize your credit usage on Abundly.

How to pause an agent

  1. Navigate to the agent you want to pause
  2. Go to Settings within that specific agent
  3. Find the Agent Status section
  4. Toggle the switch from "Running" to "Off"

When to pause agents

  • Automatically running agents that aren't being actively used
  • Seasonal or project-specific agents that are temporarily not needed
  • Testing or development agents when not in active development
  • Backup agents that only need to run occasionally

What happens when paused

  • Agent stops consuming credits immediately
  • All configurations remain intact - nothing is lost
  • Easy to restart - simply toggle the switch back to "Running"
  • No data loss - all documents, chat history, and settings are preserved

Best practices

  • Regular review: Periodically review your active agents and pause unused ones
  • Monitor usage: Keep track of which agents consume the most credits
  • Strategic pausing: Pause agents during off-hours or weekends if appropriate

Need help?

If you're unsure which agents to pause or need help optimizing your setup, contact us at support@abundly.ai.

Features & Capabilities

What is the recommended method for fine-tuning AI agent performance when getting inconsistent results?

The recommended approach for fine-tuning AI agents is to:

  1. Chat directly with the agent and update instructions with more specific details
  2. Be very explicit about requirements (companies, time periods, etc.)
  3. Try this method for 1-2 attempts
  4. If you don't see improvement after 1-2 tries, contact Abundly support for additional assistance

This iterative approach of refining instructions through direct interaction is generally effective for improving agent performance.

Common issues and solutions

Date handling problems: If your agent includes wrong dates or information from outside specified time periods, this is often caused by a known issue where Claude (the underlying language model) can "hallucinate" dates when they are not explicitly provided.

Current solutions:

  • Be very explicit with date ranges in your instructions
  • Double-check that today's date is clearly specified in agent instructions
  • Abundly is working on a platform-level fix to automatically provide dates to agents

When to escalate

If you've tried updating instructions 1-2 times and still experience issues:

  1. Contact Abundly support with specific examples of the problems
  2. Include details about what the agent should vs. shouldn't include
  3. Provide examples of incorrect outputs
  4. Support can help identify technical issues or provide advanced troubleshooting

Best practices for effective instructions

  • Be very explicit about criteria (specific companies, date ranges, content types)
  • Include examples of what should and shouldn't be included
  • Specify the current date clearly in instructions
  • Test changes iteratively rather than making many changes at once
  • Document what works and what doesn't for future reference

How do I configure the Slack capability?

To let your agent communicate on your slack server, you need to:

  1. Create a Slack App and obtain a bot token and an App ID.
  2. Enable the Slack capability in Abundly and paste in those two values.

Step 1: Create a slack app

Here is a simple quick-start guide. For more comprehensive info, see api.slack.com/docs.

The easiest way to create a slack app is to use a manifest file as a template. Copy the template below,

{
   "display_information":{
      "name":"YOUR_APP_NAME",
      "description":"YOUR_APP_DESCRIPTION",
      "background_color":"#000000"
   },
   "features":{
      "app_home":{
         "messages_tab_enabled":true,
         "messages_tab_read_only_enabled":false
      },
      "bot_user":{
         "display_name":"YOUR_BOT_DISPLAY_NAME",
         "always_online":true
      }
   },
   "oauth_config":{
      "scopes":{
         "bot":[
            "app_mentions:read",
            "channels:read",
            "chat:write",
            "groups:read",
            "im:read",
            "users:read",
            "channels:history",
            "groups:history",
            "im:history",
            "channels:join",
            "im:write",
            "mpim:history"
         ]
      }
   },
   "settings":{
      "event_subscriptions":{
         "request_url":"https://agent-service-339911427090.europe-north2.run.app/api/slack/webhook",
         "bot_events":[
            "app_mention",
            "message.im",
            "message.mpim"
         ]
      },
      "org_deploy_enabled":false,
      "socket_mode_enabled":false,
      "token_rotation_enabled":false
   }
}
  1. Visit api.slack.com/apps
  2. Click "Create New App"
  3. Choose "From a manifest"
  4. Paste the above manifest
  5. Replace YOUR_APP_NAME, YOUR_APP_DESCRIPTION, and YOUR_BOT_DISPLAY_NAME. You can use your agent name for these.
  6. OPTIONAL: adjust the scopes and bot_events if you like.
  • The scopes define what the agent can do in slack. Here is the full list of scopes.
  • The bot_events define which types of events will cause the agent to be triggered. Without bot_events the agent can only send and not receive messages on slack. Here the full list of events.
  • Tip: With the configuration above, your agent will only be triggered if at-mentioned. If you want the agent to be triggered for all slack messages in the channels that it is a member of, then add message.channels and message.groups to bot_events.
  • NOTE: The request_url link will probably change in the future. If you notice that your agent no longer receives slack messages, check back on this page.
  1. Click "Next" and "Create". Your app is now installed!
  2. Copy the App ID.
  3. Go to "Oauth & Permission" and press the installation button under "OAuth Tokens". After doing so you should see "Bot User OAuth Token". Copy that value as well.

Step 2. Configure the slack capability in Abundly

Go to Settings -> Capabilities, enable slack, and paste in the bot token and app ID.

  • token: this is the "Bot User OAuth Token" that you copied in the last step.
  • appId: this is the "App ID" that you copied in the last step.

Done! You should now be able to interact with your agent on slack.

Pricing & Credits

Pricing plans, credit usage, and billing information

Pricing & Credits

Do I need a subscription to keep using my agents?

Yes, as of June 2025, you need either an active subscription or sufficient credit balance to keep your agents running.

Subscription requirements

If you currently have a subscription:

  • Your agents will continue running as long as you have credits
  • You'll need to purchase additional credits when your balance runs low
  • Your subscription gives you access to buy credits and keep agents active

If you don't have a subscription:

  • You'll need to choose a subscription plan to continue using agents
  • Without a subscription, agents will pause when credits are depleted
  • You can select a plan that fits your usage needs and budget

Choosing the right plan

  • Evaluate your usage: Consider how many agents you run and how frequently
  • Review plan options: Check the available subscription tiers at app.abundly.ai/signup
  • Start appropriately: You can always upgrade or downgrade as your needs change

What happens without a subscription

  • Agents pause automatically when credits run out
  • No data loss - all your work is preserved
  • Easy reactivation - choose a plan and agents resume immediately

Need help choosing?

If you're unsure which subscription plan is right for you, or have questions about credit usage, contact our team at support@abundly.ai. We're happy to help you find the best fit for your needs.

Pricing & Credits

How can I lower the costs of running my AI agent?

There are several levers that affect how much it costs to run your AI agent. Here's what you can control:

1. Frequency of Use

How often your agent runs is a major factor. Triggering it every few minutes versus once an hour can lead to a substantial difference in monthly cost.

2. Size of the Context

Feeding the agent too much data — especially unnecessary context — quickly adds up. Trimming the context to only include what's essential is one of the most effective ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

3. Where You Store Data

This is an often-overlooked but powerful design choice. If you embed data directly into the agent's instructions, that data is included in every single run — even when it's not needed. By contrast, if you store supporting information in documents or tools that the agent can selectively retrieve, that data is only included when relevant. This can dramatically reduce the tokens used and save credit over time.

4. Complexity of Instructions

Recursive or multi-step instructions — where the agent performs several tasks or calls itself — can drive up usage significantly. Simplifying the agent's logic and reducing unnecessary loops can help manage costs effectively.

5. Language Model Selection

Currently, we use Claude 4 as our default model because we've found it provides the best balance of performance versus cost and is the easiest to get agents working reliably with. However, model choice can significantly impact costs.

Current Approach

We prioritize getting agents to work effectively first, then optimize costs later.

Future Options

We're exploring the possibility for users to choose different models based on their needs:

  • Cheaper models for simpler tasks
  • More expensive models for complex requirements
  • Alternative models based on specific use cases

Cost Optimization Support

We're happy to help with cost optimization on a case-by-case basis, but haven't yet enabled universal model selection for all users.

Your Feedback is Welcome

This is an evolving area - let us know your thoughts and requirements around model selection and cost optimization.

Pricing & Credits

How much does it cost to run AI agents?

Our agents run on the highest-performing language models available because that's what's required for them to function effectively. Cheaper models often fall short — they may struggle with long contexts and are more likely to ignore or override important instructions.

For simpler use cases, this can make models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or similar appear more cost-efficient, but the trade-off in reliability, accuracy, and ability to follow complex instructions is significant.

Currently, your agent is powered by Claude 4.0 Sonnet. While there is a more expensive model — Claude 4.0 Opus — we've found that the performance difference does not justify the additional cost for most use cases. That's why we stick with Sonnet as our top-tier default.

Our Strategy

Start with the best model to ensure your agent performs reliably. Then, if the cost becomes too high for the frequency you'd like to run the agent, let us know which agent you're referring to and we'll be happy to downgrade it to a more cost-effective model.

Support & Troubleshooting

What does the 'Overloaded' error mean when trying to create an agent?

The 'Overloaded' error occurs when Anthropic/Claude's servers are experiencing high traffic and are temporarily overloaded.

What this means

This error happens when:

  • Anthropic/Claude's servers are at capacity
  • There's high demand on the AI model infrastructure
  • The servers are temporarily unable to process new requests

How to resolve it

Wait and retry:

  • This is a temporary issue that usually resolves within 5-10 minutes
  • Simply try creating your agent again after waiting a few minutes
  • The error typically clears up on its own as server load decreases

If the problem persists:

  • Wait 10-15 minutes and try again
  • If you're still experiencing issues after 15+ minutes, contact our support team at support@abundly.ai

Why this happens

This error is on Anthropic's side (the AI model provider), not with Abundly's platform. It's similar to when a popular website gets too much traffic - the servers need a moment to catch up with demand.

Future improvements

We're working on making this error message clearer and more user-friendly to better explain what's happening and what to do next.
