  • No platform fee on top of subscription balance, per vendor
  • Configurable approval rules for risky actions
  • Agents can explain what each job cost
  • Persistent, always-on agent with its own cloud computer and browser
  • Connects to 4,000+ apps that already work with ChatGPT
  • Clear permission model: allow, require approval, or forbid actions

  • Reachable from ChatGPT, Slack, Teams, and phone
Cons

  • Early-stage product with limited public track record
  • Not self-hostable
  • Days-old product; capabilities and limits still settling

  • Gated to higher-priced Pro and Business Premium plans
  • Pro rollout initially excludes the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK
