Numerous.ai Issues and Problems We (I) have had:

1.  It is not good at dealing with coding prompts as of the beginning of 2024.  Quite often it wastes credits and does not provide any code or if it does provide code it is 95% of the time not good.  I’m better off directly interfacing with chatgpt.
2.  Initially like many crappy Google Sheets Apps/etc. it would refresh the damn formulas all the time.  Its not completely fixed but you can keep running a button here that will make the output static so you don’t make the Google Sheet(s) unusable or just WASTE all your credits like it did on me.  They have it documented here “Google Sheets sometimes annoyingly refreshes formulas. This button replaces Al,INFER, and WRITE formulas with their results.”
   So that can manually be fixed by using this button:

   

3.  I find it hard to use many of the functions besides AI() and AIWRITE() personally.  See what you think.

Also, even though I seriously hate stupid appsumo.com … I believe they still have the same lifetime deal with Numerous.ai similar to what I bought.  This is what I currently have paid for per month for a lifetime supposedly:

You purchased a lifetime license from AppSumo to use Numerous. Your token balance will reset to 15,000 tokens on the 10th of every month.
To upgrade or downgrade your subscription through AppSumo, you can do so here.
Your plan:

• 15,000 tokens per month

• 7,500 formula generations
