How does MATE work?
You enter your prompt. MATE uses AI to write a script for your request in the background and executes it right away. This way MATE runs tasks for you.
Is MATE for Illustrator a subscription?
No. MATE for Illustrator is a US$9.95 one-time purchase. There is no monthly contract term or recurring subscription to cancel. Pay once and use it forever. Future major upgrades may be sold separately.
Where do I find MATE in Illustrator after installation?
In Adobe speech MATE is technically an "extension", not a plugin.
You find it here in the main menu: Window > Extensions > MATE
Here is a tutorial how to install it: https://www.omata.io/omata-plugin/docs/install
What are the risks?
Due to ChatGPT's immense popularity, server response may sometimes be slow or unavailable. Consequently, Illustrator may experience crashes. ChatGPT-generated responses have the potential to modify or remove existing artwork in open documents and, although unlikely, could delete files. We make every effort to prevent such incidents, but caution is advised.

Add a payment method to your OpenAI account.
While signing up for an account is free, it’s important to know that using ChatGPT API does come with a cost. This depends on your usage. Check your usage balance here.
What are the costs for API usage?
It depends on the model you use and how much you use it.
OpenAI bills API usage separately. The amount depends on the model and how much you use it, so check OpenAI’s current pricing for exact rates.

I get „Sorry, something went wrong“. What do I need to do?

Make sure billing is active and your OpenAI account has available credits so MATE can send requests through your API key.
