FAQ
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding focuses on high-level architecture and developer momentum. You instruct the AI assistant to perform edits, checks, and runs, while you guide the architectural decisions without getting bogged down by syntax.
How does Loccle handle billing?
Loccle operates on a credit-based model. You pay only for the exact prompt and completion tokens you consume. You can track your usage and top up your wallet directly inside the dashboard.
