# Usage Calculation

This page explains how the system calculates **conversation text volume** and **knowledge base capacity** during usage. Understanding the usage calculation methods can help you more effectively plan resource usage and design AI assistants.

## Conversation Text Volume Calculation

### How General Text is Calculated

* In each conversation round, both **user input** and **AI assistant responses** are counted.
* One character is calculated as one word

For example: In the conversation log, user input will be calculated as 6 words, and 您好 will be calculated as 2 words, totaling 8 words

```
User: Hello!
AI Assistant: 您好
```

### How Images are Calculated

Each image is calculated as using **500** words

## Knowledge Base Capacity Calculation

The total **file size** of all AI assistants' knowledge base upload pages under the organization is the capacity used by the knowledge base.

  * After deletion, it will not be calculated
