## How Sola works

Sola users create and customize their own unique security solutions their way, without any barriers that large-scale security solutions have.

As part of the Sola studio, [Sola apps](/workspace/apps.md) are used to create custom security solutions for specific security use cases.

![](/files/u9RHZRvhr64TfNP6IjXP) **Apps are composed of 4 building blocks.**

[**Queries**](/workspace/apps/queries.md) for data inquiry. Use queries to **create**, **view**, and **share data insights** that answer your cyber security questions.

[**Canvases**](/workspace/apps/canvases.md) for data visualization. Create canvases to build **dashboards**, **reports**, and **interactive views** that display your insights and results in easy-to-understand **tables**, **charts**, and **graphs**.

[**Alerts**](/workspace/apps/alerts.md) for monitoring and alert rules. Convert your important questions into alerts to **track security risks and get notified** when important events occur.

[**Workflows**](/workspace/apps/workflows.md) for **automation** and **remediation**. Automate security actions to **respond faster and reduce manual effort**.

### Credit and usage types

Sola uses **AI credits**, **workflow credits**, and **data records** for managing usage.&#x20;

**AI credits (copilot)** are the units Sola uses to represent actions completed by [Sola AI](/getting-started/sola-ai.md), including asking questions, generating canvases, creating workflows, or refining logic. Each credit represents an average AI interaction. Simple tasks use fewer credits, more complex tasks use more. *AI Credits refresh weekly.*

**Workflow credits** represent AI usage for running [agentic workflows](/workspace/apps/workflows.md). Each credit represents a typical workflow execution across its steps. *Workflow credits refresh weekly.*

**Data records** represent the data entries Sola processes from your connected [data tables](/integrations/data-sources.md#data-source-tables). Each row from a connected data source is counted as one data record. *Data record limits reset daily.*

Sola plans offer varying allowances for AI credits, workflow credits, and data records. Higher tiers provide increased limits to meet your team’s usage and growth.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Credit resets**\
Credit allowances vary by plan and reset on schedule. Credits do not roll over.
