Word Coins
Every word an AI reads or writes costs a coin. See your sentence chopped into coins, shrink a long prompt, and choose the small brain when it is enough.
1 What is a coin?
An AI does not read letters. It chops your words into chunks and pays one coin for each. Type a sentence and watch.
Long words cost more than one coin. So do "!" and ",". This is a pretend chopper; the real AI's chopper is similar.
2 Shrink it
These prompts ask for good things, in far too many words. Pick one and rewrite it shorter, keeping the important bits.

3 Small brain or big brain?
Big AI brains cost more coins per word and think slower. Pick a question and ask both brains the same thing.

4 Your purse
Every question on Cocoon Kids spends from this purse. It fills back up at midnight. Shorter questions and the small brain make it last longer.
The usage object the server sent back for the last call. in = coins for what the AI read (your words plus Coco's hidden instructions), out = coins for what it wrote.
{ "waiting": "ask something first" }
The chopper on this page splits on spaces and punctuation, then cuts words longer than 6 letters into 4-letter pieces. Real AI choppers learn their pieces from millions of books, so "elephant" might be one coin and "elephantastic" three.
