Gig Game AI Tokens

AI Tokens on Gig Game

AI Tokens are usage-based credits that power optional AI features within Gig Game experiences. They allow hosts and creators to enhance games with AI-driven content—such as theming, dynamic narration, and interactive voice—while keeping all core gameplay fully accessible without AI.

AI Tokens are never required to run a Gig Game. They are only used when you explicitly choose to enable AI-powered features inside a game.

What Are AI Tokens?

AI Tokens represent a pool of credits that cover the real infrastructure costs of AI services used by Gig Game—such as language models, image generation, and voice synthesis.

Each time you trigger an AI-powered feature within a game or game-building workflow, a small number of tokens are consumed based on the complexity of the task.

Think of AI Tokens as:

  • Fuel for optional in-game AI features
  • Pay-as-you-go usage, not a subscription lock-in
  • A way to keep AI enhancements available without raising base hosting costs for everyone

If you never use AI features, you will never spend tokens.

What AI Tokens Are Used For

AI Tokens are consumed only when you actively trigger AI features inside Gig Game experiences. Common uses include:

Trivia Question Generation (Trivia Games)

Generate complete trivia questions including:

  • Question text
  • Multiple answer choices
  • Correct answer selection
  • Explanations
  • Difficulty tuning
  • Language targeting

This happens directly inside the Trivia Question Builder and speeds up trivia creation compared to writing everything manually.

AI Image Generation (Game Content & Theming)

Create custom images for trivia questions or themed game content:

  • Choose art styles (illustration, noir, pixel art, surreal, etc.)
  • Add creative prompts or suggestions
  • Generate visuals that match a game’s theme without revealing answers

These images are shown during gameplay, helping games feel more polished and engaging on shared screens.

Game Theming & Presentation (Bingo / Run Q MC)

AI Tokens may be used optionally within Bingo-style experiences and Run Q MC–style hosting to assist with:

  • Themed game presentation
  • Visual and stylistic variations
  • Flavor content that enhances the live hosting experience

These features affect how the game feels and presents itself, not whether it can be played.

Bulk AI Content Creation (Trivia)

Generate multiple trivia questions at once using AI:

  • Ideal for themed packs, weekly shows, or large libraries
  • Uses more tokens than single-question generation
  • Best used after testing tone and difficulty with small batches

Bulk generation happens within the trivia game-building flow and is entirely optional.

Dynamic Interactive Voice (Trivia Sets)

When building advanced Trivia Sets, AI Tokens may be used inside the game setup process for:

  • Host dialog generation
  • Narration and commentary
  • Dynamic, interactive AI-generated voice that plays during the live game

You are always shown estimated token costs before generating dialog or voice, and nothing is generated automatically.

What AI Tokens Are Not Used For

AI Tokens are not required for:

  • Hosting live games
  • Running Bingo, Trivia, or QR Bingo events without AI features
  • Players joining or participating
  • Manual question creation
  • Editing or managing existing content
  • Printing or exporting materials
  • Viewing, replaying, or managing published games

If you prefer a fully manual hosting workflow, Gig Game works exactly the same without spending any tokens.

Why Gig Game Uses a Token System

AI services have real, variable costs that scale with usage. A token system allows Gig Game to:

  • Keep base hosting features affordable
  • Offer AI as an opt-in enhancement inside games
  • Let casual hosts experiment cheaply
  • Let professional hosts scale responsibly
  • Prevent accidental or runaway AI usage

This ensures you stay in control of both creative direction and cost.

Viewing Your AI Token Balance

You can check your AI Token balance at any time:

  1. Go to https://hub.gig.game/en/tokens

  2. View:

    • Current token balance
    • Usage history
    • Breakdown by feature

  3. Purchase additional tokens if needed

Your balance is always visible before any AI action is performed.

How Token Costs Work (High-Level)

Token usage depends on:

  • Type of in-game AI task

    • Text generation
    • Image generation
    • Voice synthesis

  • Amount of content generated

  • Complexity (length, variations, audio, etc.)

Examples (approximate):

  • Single trivia question → very low token cost
  • AI image generation → low to moderate
  • Bulk question generation → moderate
  • Dynamic interactive voice for a trivia show → higher

Exact costs are always shown before you confirm generation.

Best Practices for Using AI Tokens Wisely

To get the most value from your tokens:

  • Prototype small

    • Generate 1–2 questions first
    • Adjust tone and difficulty

  • Scale after validation

  • Generate dialog before voice

    • Text is cheaper to revise than audio

  • Edit AI output

    • Refinement is cheaper than regeneration

Do AI Tokens Expire?

AI Tokens do not expire once purchased. They remain in your account until used.

Summary

AI Tokens are an optional, in-game enhancement system that lets you:

  • Add theming and flavor to hosted games
  • Generate trivia content faster
  • Enable dynamic, interactive voice
  • Scale professional-quality live experiences
  • Pay only for what you use

They are never required, always transparent, and fully under your control.
