Accessing your AI settings

- Log in to your BakeOnyx dashboard
- Click Settings in the left sidebar
- Select AI Settings from the menu
You'll now see your AI usage dashboard, which displays your current billing period's activity and your subscription tier limits.
Understanding your AI usage
The top section of your AI Settings page shows three key metrics:
- Bake Buddy Conversations: The number of times you've chatted with Bake Buddy this billing period
- Agent Runs: The number of times AI agents have completed tasks automatically (like adjusting inventory or generating forecasts)
- AI-Powered Features Used: The total number of times you've accessed AI features across BakeOnyx
Each metric includes a usage bar showing what percentage of your tier limit you've consumed. If you're approaching your limit, consider upgrading your subscription plan to unlock more AI capacity.
Checking your tier limits
Your subscription tier determines which AI features are available and how much you can use them:
- Essentials: Basic Bake Buddy chat support only
- Growth: Bake Buddy plus Pricing Optimizer and Inventory Predictions
- Scale: Full AI agents, advanced forecasting, and all premium features
Your current tier and its limits are displayed clearly on the AI Settings page. If you'd like to unlock more features or higher usage limits, you can upgrade your plan directly from this page.
Configuring Bake Buddy settings

Managing Bake Buddy tool access
