Emma Computing Unit - Measuring emma's Workload

ECU (Emma Computing Unit) is a unit for measuring the workload executed by emma. The ECUs consumed within a session are calculated based on task complexity, number of actions performed, processing time, and more.

What is ECU?

ECU (Emma Computing Unit) is a computational unit for quantifying the work performed by emma's AI agent. Consumption is determined by the following factors:

  • Actions: Number of steps for planning, context gathering, and task completion
  • Complexity: Task complexity and required processing power
  • Integrations: Number of API calls to integrated services
  • Runtime: Processing time and resource usage

How ECU Consumption Works

When ECU is Consumed

  • Task planning and analysis
  • Action execution
  • Requests to external APIs
  • Data processing and transformation

When ECU is Not Consumed

  • Waiting for user response
  • Idle state
  • During initial setup

Managing ECU Usage

You can view and manage ECU usage from the settings page. Features include usage analytics, limit settings, and alert notifications.

Tips for Efficient ECU Usage

  • Provide clear and specific task instructions
  • Set appropriate task scope
  • Process similar tasks together
  • Regularly check usage status
