Your Pro AI Consultant

Describe your project and get a personalised shortlist of AI tools with reasoning for each pick. Conversational, senior-level, and built on top of our editorial directory.

How it works

Tell the consultant what you're trying to build, automate, or learn. It asks one or two clarifying questions, then returns a shortlist of tools from our directory with the reasoning for every choice and an honest note on where each pick falls short.

It only ever recommends tools we've reviewed editorially, so every suggestion comes with a real review you can read before you spend a cent.

What people use it for

Questions before you upgrade?

Can you show a simple credit example?

For illustration only, not an average, guarantee or complete consultation: assuming no files and no extra model attempts, 2,000 input tokens plus 1,000 output tokens equals 3,000 tokens at standard weighting, or 5,000 with Starter's 3x output weighting. That is about 33 exchanges from 100,000 prepaid tokens, 166 from 500,000 prepaid tokens, 60 from Starter's 300,000 monthly tokens, or 500 from Business's 1,500,000 monthly tokens. The same Starter assumption gives 20 or 100 exchanges from 100,000 or 500,000 prepaid top-up tokens while Starter is active. These are single question-and-answer exchanges, not complete consultations.

What is Lumi Pro and how is it different from the free Lumi on the homepage?

The free Lumi on the homepage gives quick, short answers to point you in the right direction, and it stays free. Lumi Pro unlocks the full Pro AI Consultant: deep, multi-turn consultations that turn your idea into a complete tool stack with the full cost picture upfront, step-by-step setup guidance, and a plan you can save and export.

What exactly do I get as a Pro member?

A senior AI consultant working for you 24/7, powered by a frontier-class AI engine. You get tailored tool stacks for your exact project and budget, honest picks so you never pay for a tool you do not need, live web search for current facts and prices, downloadable reports and setup checklists, and saved sessions you can pick up anytime. Prepaid credits are metered exactly as bought, Starter includes 300,000 tokens per month, and Business includes 1,500,000 tokens per month. An active Lumi Pro subscription also includes full access to all published One AI Guide AI courses at no extra cost.

How much does Lumi Pro cost?

You pick what fits. Prepaid credits with no subscription: $9.99 for 100,000 tokens or $39 for 500,000 tokens, and credits never expire. Starter: $19 per month with 300,000 tokens each month. Business: $119 per month, or $594 upfront for six months ($99 per month equivalent), with 1,500,000 tokens each month. The six-month option is 15% cheaper per token than the 500,000-token credit pack. Weigh that against the alternative: unused subscriptions and a wrong tool choice usually cost more than that.

How does the free Lumi Pro Test Drive work?

Before the Test Drive starts, Stripe securely collects and sets up a card, but the Test Drive is free: it creates no charge and no subscription. You can get up to nine premium answers, subject to a fair-usage cap. It never auto-charges or automatically upgrades you. Your saved work remains available, and moving to a paid plan requires an explicit upgrade from you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Billing runs through Stripe secure checkout and you can cancel from your account in one click, no questions asked. You keep full access until the end of the period you paid for.

Can I withdraw a Lumi Pro or prepaid credits purchase?

You can send a withdrawal declaration within 14 days from the contract date. Lumi Pro is a digital service; unused prepaid credits and any usage are reviewed individually, with no automatic exclusion or deduction. Any refund due is made within 14 days of your notice using the same payment method. Cancelling future renewals is separate from withdrawing a purchase.

How is credit usage calculated?

Usage includes chargeable input tokens, including your message and carried conversation history or context, plus output tokens. Files and extra model attempts can add usage, so longer chats, files, longer answers and retries vary the total. Standard weighting counts input and output 1x. Starter counts output 3x, including prepaid top-ups while Starter is active.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Monthly credits are used first. When they run out, nonexpiring prepaid credits are used next, or the monthly allowance renews at the next monthly renewal. Lumi needs enough remaining balance to start an answer.

Are my consultations private?

Yes. Your sessions belong to your account alone, they are never published or shared with other users, and you can delete any saved session whenever you want.

Who is Lumi Pro built for?

Companies, freelancers and independent professionals who choose AI tools for real work. If you are building a project, automating a workflow or deciding where next month's budget goes, one clear plan replaces days of research and trial subscriptions.
