AI Costs: Included
Unlike other services, Archevi includes AI usage in your subscription:
| Plan | Included AI Allowance |
|---|---|
| Starter ($14.99/mo) | $3.00/month (~150 queries) |
| Family ($24.99/mo) | $8.00/month (~400 queries) |
| Family Office | Unlimited |
Most families never exceed their included allowance. If you do, overages are billed at $0.01 per 1,000 tokens (roughly $0.01 per query).
What Can I Store?
Archevi works great for:
- Medical records and prescriptions
- Insurance policies and claims
- Financial documents
- Family recipes
- Legal documents (wills, contracts)
- Family stories and memories
- Important dates and reminders
- Voice memos and notes
Example Questions
Once you've added documents, ask things like:
- "What are mom's current medications?"
- "Where's the home insurance policy?"
- "What's grandma's apple pie recipe?"
- "When does the car registration expire?"
- "Show me all of Sarah's documents"
- "What financial documents expire this month?"
