Best Practices for Light vs Heavy Usage in SLAY AI™
SLAY AI™ is designed to scale with your needs. Some people use it lightly for organization and clarity. Others use it heavily for deep analysis and document generation.
Both are valid.
This guide helps you understand how to use SLAY AI™ efficiently based on what you’re trying to accomplish — without micromanaging credits.
Understanding Light vs Heavy Usage
Light Usage
Light usage typically involves:
logging incidents as they occur
uploading documents as you receive them
reviewing timelines
asking focused questions in Ask SLAY AI™
generating short summaries or communication drafts
Light usage is ideal when:
your situation is ongoing but not urgent
you’re building a record gradually
you’re preparing for conversations or negotiations
you want clarity without intensive analysis
Heavy Usage
Heavy usage typically involves:
scanning large volumes of documents
running pattern analysis across many incidents
generating multi-section summaries or exhibits
preparing materials for mediation, court, HR review, or legal counsel
identifying repeated behavior over long time periods
Heavy usage is ideal when:
deadlines are approaching
decisions will be made soon
you need persuasive, structured materials quickly
you are preparing for formal review or action
Best Practices for Light Usage
If you are using SLAY AI™ lightly, these practices keep everything efficient and effective:
Log incidents consistently, even if briefly
Upload documents once and let SLAY AI™ reuse them
Use Ask SLAY AI™ for:
communication guidance
response drafting
clarifying strengths and weaknesses
Let timelines build naturally over time
Light usage is about steady documentation, not constant analysis.
Best Practices for Heavy Usage
If you’re entering a period of heavier use, these practices help you get the most value:
Make sure key incidents and documents are already uploaded
Run pattern analysis intentionally, not repeatedly on the same data
Use Generate Leverage for:
summaries
exhibits
pattern reports
editable documents
Review and refine outputs before generating new ones
Save important work to the Case Organizer so it doesn’t need to be regenerated
Heavy usage is most effective when it’s purpose-driven, not exploratory.
How to Shift Between Light and Heavy Usage
Most users move between light and heavy usage naturally.
For example:
Light usage while documenting events
Heavy usage when preparing for:
mediation
court
HR escalation
negotiation or settlement
SLAY AI™ is designed to support this rhythm.
If you anticipate a heavy usage period:
consider upgrading temporarily
run deeper analysis during that window
downgrade later when activity slows
Unused credits roll over when you upgrade, and downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.
What You Don’t Need to Do
You do not need to:
avoid using powerful features
ration your questions
worry about “wasting” credits on clarity
SLAY AI™ is built to support real work, not penalize thoughtful use.
The Right Mindset for Using SLAY AI™
Instead of thinking:
“Am I using too many credits?”
A better question is:
“Am I asking SLAY AI™ to do something meaningful right now?”
When you use the platform with intention, credits are working for you, not against you.
