Tokens: Spend Less, Get Better AI Answers

Every AI tool you use reads and writes in tokens, and tokens decide how much you pay, how fast the answers come back, and how good they are. In this episode, Miranda explains what a token is, why long chats get slower and more expensive, and how to match the right model to the right job.

You'll learn:

• The difference between input and output tokens, and why long answers cost more
• Why the length of the conversation matters more than the length of your message
• When to use small, everyday, or top-tier models
• How to write clearer prompts and ask for short answers in a set format
• When to summarize a long chat and start fresh
• How to check your usage, set spending caps, and compare platforms without chasing prices
