What are AI credits?

You can purchase AI credits here: https://app.geekymedics.com/purchase/ai-credits


AI credits unlock access to advanced AI features on the Geeky Medics platform.


These features are designed to offer a more realistic, immersive learning experience - especially when practising with our virtual patients, examiners, and AI-enhanced tools.


What do AI credits unlock?


AI credits are required for the following features:


  • Advanced virtual patients - access to real time virtual patients for more natural consultations
  • Virtual patient voice (standard mode) - enabling virtual patients to speak aloud during consultations
  • AI examiner feedback - if you don’t have an OSCE Stations subscription
  • OSCE station generation - once your free generations have been used up
  • AI tutor - once your free messages have been used up
  • Flashcard generation with PDF - generate full flashcards from uploaded PDFs
  • Quiz generation with PDF - generate custom quizzes from uploaded PDFs


If you have an OSCE Stations subscription (or bundle containing OSCE stations), the AI examiner feedback is included for all OSCE stations.


Can I still use virtual patients without AI credits?


Yes. You can interact with our standard virtual patients without AI credits, but they will:


  • Only reply using text
  • Use our standard AI model
  • Not support the AI examiner unless you have an OSCE Stations subscription


Purchasing AI credits is completely optional, but it unlocks a more advanced simulation experience.


How do I enable the virtual patient voice?


Once you’ve purchased AI credits, you can toggle ‘Patient voice’ on during any virtual patient consultation:

What happens when I run out?


If you run out of AI credits:


  • Virtual patients will switch back to our standard (text-only) AI
  • Advanced features (voice, PDF tools, etc.) will no longer be available


You can top up at any time from the purchase page. Your new credits will be added instantly.


Do AI credits change the OSCE station content?


No. The OSCE scenarios remain the same. AI credits only affect how intelligent, interactive, or realistic the tools are (e.g. voice, feedback quality, AI depth).
