Hi there! 😊
I'm glad to hear you're using our VAPI service for your AI voice agent! Let me address your questions regarding client billing and agent security:
### Client Billing
Yes, your clients can create their own accounts and link their credit cards for direct billing based on usage. Here's how it works:
1. **Account Creation**: Clients can create their accounts and will receive complimentary credits to start.
2. **Linking Credit Cards**: They can link their credit cards through the VAPI dashboard for automatic billing based on usage.
3. **Pay-As-You-Go Model**: Once the initial credits are used, they can purchase additional credits to continue using the service.
For more details, you can check out the [Billing FAQ](
https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/billing-faq).
### Agent Security
To ensure your clients cannot download or access the AI agent’s prompts and workflow charts, VAPI has several security measures in place:
1. **Isolated Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs)**: Your AI models are hosted in secure, isolated environments, preventing unauthorized access.
2. **No Direct Access**: Clients cannot directly access the AI models or workflow charts, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected.
3. **On-Prem Deployments**: For organizations with strict data security needs, we offer on-premise deployment options.
For more information on our security measures, you can refer to the [Security and Privacy](
https://docs.vapi.ai/security-and-privacy/pci) documentation.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with implementation, feel free to ask! I'm here to help! 😊
