What are AI credits?

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

AI credits unlock access to advanced features powered by our highest-fidelity AI models.

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:

Virtual patient voice - enabling virtual patients to speak aloud during consultations
Advanced real-time virtual patient - access to higher-grade AI for more natural interactions
AI examiner - if you don’t have an OSCE Stations subscription
Viva & Interview Mode - simulate high-level questioning in exam or interview format
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 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:

Enabling virtual patient voice

How many AI credits do I need?

AI credits are only used when you interact with features powered by our advanced AI.

Our current pricing is £5 for 90 credits, which is usually enough for around 50–70 virtual patient consultations.

The number of credits used depends on how long or complex your session is
Other features (like PDF generation or voice usage) will also use credits

Where can I see how many credits I have left?

You can view your remaining credit balance:

Within any virtual patient session
On the AI credit purchase page

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, Viva Mode, 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).
