How GAUs work
Governed Agent Units (GAUs) are used across Clark (Superblocks’ AI agent) and other governance and AI features. Each AI interaction consumes GAUs based on the complexity of the request. Here are some example prompts and their cost:| User prompt | Work done | GAUs used |
|---|---|---|
| Add a header section with title and subtitle | Creates a reusable header component and applies existing page typography styles | 1 |
| Change the top navigation background to black | Updates navigation styles and verifies contrast on existing text/icons | 2 |
| Connect Salesforce opportunities and show a table + column chart | Explores the data with sample queries in  Salesforce, identifies the right object and fields with the user, then implements both a table and chart | 4 |
| Build a full sales dashboard from this schema | Generates a step-by-step plan, builds layout/components, connects data, and validates the final app | 8 |
Included GAUs
Teams plans use an organization-level GAU pool shared by all builders. You are not charged per builder seat. Additional org-level GAU packs are available for purchase. All GAUs reset monthly.GAU packs
Org-level top-ups: Purchase GAUs that can be shared across all users in your organization
GAU packs are billed in-line with your billing schedule. Contact sales for higher volumes.
Usage tracking
Monitor spend and usage on Plan & Usage: charts, group-by User / App / Day, checkpoint-level rollup, and deployed-app charges. Configure limits, alerts, and Teams refills on Spend management.GAU refills
GAU refills are available on the Teams plan. Enterprise customers manage spending through Spend management controls.
Automatic GAU refills
Automatic refills help your team keep building when the pool runs low. When your GAU balance drops below a threshold you set, Superblocks automatically purchases additional GAUs using the payment method on file.Setting up automatic refills
- Toggle “Automatically purchase more GAUs when running low” to enable auto-refills
- Set a Refill threshold: the GAU balance at which a refill is triggered
- Set a Refill amount: how many GAUs to purchase each time
- Set a Maximum refill amount: a monthly cap on total automatic refill spending
How automatic refills work
When enabled, Superblocks monitors your organization’s shared GAU pool. Once the balance drops to or below your configured threshold, a refill is triggered automatically:- The system checks your remaining GAUs against the Refill threshold
- If the balance is at or below the threshold, it charges the Refill amount to your payment method
- New GAUs are added to your shared pool immediately
- Refill activity is logged in the Refill history table at the bottom of the page
One-time GAU purchases
You can purchase a one-time GAU top-up from the Spend management page without enabling automatic refills. Click “purchase a one-time refill” in the GAU refills section to add GAUs immediately. One-time purchases appear in the Refill history table with the source marked accordingly. See GAU packs for available pricing.Spend limits
Teams plans also support per-user spend limits to control how GAUs are distributed across your team. See Spend management for details on setting default and custom per-user limits.Refill history
The Spend management page includes a refill history table that shows all GAU purchases, both automatic and one-time. Each entry includes:- Date and time of the refill
- Number of GAUs added
- Source (automatic or manual)
- Payment status
