Choosing the right lane
Convilyn has two lanes: Turbo Lane for predictable conversions, Goal Lane for AI-driven work. The decision is usually quick.
Quick rule
- Input and output are both specific? → Turbo Lane
- You want the AI to read, think, or decide? → Goal Lane
If the output is described with verbs like "summarize", "extract", "rewrite", "tailor", or "judge", use Goal Lane. If the verbs are "convert" or "compress", use Turbo Lane.
Reading text out of a picture, and turning speech into text, look like conversions but are not: they cost more for a denser file, so they run in Goal Lane and are quoted in credits.
By example
| What you want to do | Lane |
|---|---|
| Convert a JPG to PNG or WebP | Turbo |
| Merge two PDFs into one | Turbo |
| Compress an image to a smaller size | Turbo |
| Convert an MP4 to WebM | Turbo |
| Turn an audio file into text | Goal |
| Read text out of a scanned receipt | Goal |
| Turn a long report into short social posts | Goal |
| Build a tailored job pack from a resume | Goal |
| Subtitle a video and burn the captions in | Goal |
| Total a pile of receipts into a spreadsheet | Goal |
| Fill a marketplace listing template | Goal |
| Compute a weighted grade sheet | Goal |
Cost expectations
Turbo Lane conversions are free on every plan — they consume no credits. Usage is governed by your plan's limits (file size, concurrent jobs, batch size) rather than billing.
Goal Lane quotes a credit price per template before you start, then settles it against what the run actually used.
There are 16 AI workflows you can start today. They are priced from 15.1 credits ($0.15) to 318.85 credits ($3.19), and most commonly 150.025 credits.
Tip — start with the template list
For Goal Lane, the easiest entry point is the template gallery in the product. Each template carries a clear goal description and its fixed credit price. Pick the one that matches your goal, upload the input, and confirm the quote before running.
When no template fits — Builder
Goal Lane runs ready-made templates. When none of them matches what you need, Builder turns a plain-language chat into a reusable workflow of your own. Every plan includes Builder sessions, Free included; a session is counted only once the AI starts working on your first message.
