What is an assist, and how many do I get?

An assist is one thing DeskOps did for you — an answer from Des, an email sent to a customer, a document produced, a receipt read. It is measured by what the work actually cost rather than counted one-for-one, so a quick question uses a fraction of an assist and a deep one uses several, and when the product gets cheaper your allowance stretches further on its own. The base plan includes 3,000 assists a month and 8 GB of storage. Plus, $19 a month, adds 1,250 assists and takes storage to 30 GB; Pro, $39 a month, adds 3,000 and takes storage to 64 GB. Past the allowance, extra assists are $22 per 1,000, prorated as you use them (500 extra is $11), and storage is $1 per GB per month — DeskOps warns you at 80% and never blocks you mid-task. An AI safety limit on the same pane caps extra AI at five times your plan price unless you set your own number; it exists for runaways, not for normal use, and you can change it.
