Short answer

How can I check my Import.io credits and job status with AI?

Your agent pulls your current credit balance and the real-time status of any running extractors. You'll get instant updates on how much capacity you have left and whether your data jobs are finished or still running.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI organizes your extraction data into these four categories.

USAGE

Credit balance updates

The AI pulls your remaining monthly credits. You'll know exactly when you're getting low.

STATUS

Active job tracking

Your agent monitors the progress of your web scrapers. It tells you if a job is running, failed, or completed.

ALERTS

Low credit warnings

The AI flags when your usage hits a specific threshold. This prevents jobs from failing due to insufficient funds.

HUMAN

Manual job setup

The AI can't build new extraction rules for you. You still need to configure your scraping logic in Import.io.
