What are 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 are used up
- AI tutor - once your free messages are used up
- AI Flashcard generation - once your free generations are used up (generation from PDF always requires 1 credit)
- Quiz generation with PDF - once your free generations are used up (generation from PDF always requires 1 credit)
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:
How many AI credits do I need?

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, 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).
