RE: [EXTERNAL] IBM Bob Premium Package for i: AI-Powered Modernization Built for IBM i Developers

Greg,

I was the one that asked about the "burn rate" on the tokens.  Based upon their answer, it shows in the top-right corner for each given session of Bob.  Holding that to be true, for the demo, I believe I saw a number near 4 (just under).  So, that would be 4 Bob Coins.  

Now, let's consider this - that was specially chosen as a "small, easy example" - so I think we can extrapolate from that for a reasonable, medium task, and then again for a complex, real-world task.

I keep hearing two words in my mind - not cheap.

Steve

I was on that call and they didn't cover pricing at all.
