How to Use Samantha Without Overspending Your Daily Credits

Before we talk about saving credits, let's make one thing clear:

You can use Mysamantha completely free if you use it manually.

You don't spend credits when you:

• Create notes manually
• Journal in the Calendar View
• Add tasks directly in To-Do
• Reorder or prioritize tasks
• Pin notes
• Add attachments
• Use lists & sections
• Export notes
• Label and categorize
• View Dashboard traits & streaks

Credits are used when you interact with Samantha through text or voice, including voice transcription and Smart Actions. Each voice transcription uses 2 credits, while each Smart Action uses 1 credit.

So you get to choose:

• Use Mysamantha manually, totally free
• Use Samantha when you want automation or clarity

Now, when you do use Samantha, here are ways to make your credits last all day.

1. Use Text When You Don't Need Voice

Text = 1 credit

Voice = 2 credits

Voice is amazing when you're tired, walking, or multitasking, but if the task is simple, text is the lighter choice.

Try:

• "Summarize this."
• "Create a task for this."
• "Explain this clearly."

These single-credit tasks keep your usage low without losing power.

2. Batch Your Requests, Don't Break Them Apart

Instead of sending 4 quick messages, combine them.

Instead of:

• "Create a task."
• "Set a reminder."
• "Make it a high priority."
• "Add it to my Work list."

Try:

"Create a task for this, mark it high priority, set a reminder for tomorrow morning, and add it to my Work list."

1 message → 1 credit → 4 actions done.

3. Let Built-In Features Work Without Samantha

Many smart systems inside Mysamantha handle organization automatically:

• Auto Titles
• Auto Categorization
• Priority sorting
• Lists & sections
• Smart labels
• Export to PDF/HTML
• Journal calendar navigation

You don't need assistant messages for any of these; use them freely.

4. Avoid Micro-Messages (Be Clear Once)

If you say:

• "Summarize this."
• "Now shorter."
• "Now list key points."
• "Turn it into tasks."

That becomes 4 credits.

Instead:

"Summarize this, give key points, and turn action items into tasks."

→ 1 credit
→ everything at once

Why This Matters

You don't need to limit Samantha; you just use her wisely.

With simple habits:

• Text instead of voice sometimes
• Batch instead of breaking messages
• Manual creation when possible
• Smart actions instead of repeated asks

Your daily free credits easily support:

• Planning
• Summarizing
• Note cleanup
• Assignments
• Meetings
• Journaling help
• Travel planning
• Explanations

Samantha stays available when you really need her.
