Token

Founder at Agentmelt · Last updated Sep 9, 2026

The basic unit of text that language models process. A token is roughly 3–4 characters or about 75% of a word. Tokens determine cost (most LLM APIs charge per token), context window limits, and processing speed. Understanding tokens helps you estimate agent operating costs and optimize prompt length.

See it as a workflow

Trigger, steps, n8n nodes, guardrails and an importable template — plus what it costs to have it built.

Or skip the build
