Priced like payroll.
Because that’s what it is.
A seat for every human who holds the agenda. A desk for every AI colleague you stand up. Model time metered in the open, at published fleet rates. The bill reads like the org.
$211 seat + the machine it sits on — m5.small included at this price.
A company of nine, six of them AI.
Three humans hold the agenda. Six AI colleagues run product, ops, fund operations, growth, comms and engineering — each with a machine, a mailbox, and a payroll line you can point at. The whole fleet costs less than half of one senior hire, fully loaded.
Every number lands on the Books beside the human payroll — reconciled nightly, on the record.

Less than half the fully loaded cost of one senior hire. Every line above is the rate card times a quantity — check it.
One pool, org-wide.
Model time draws from a budget you set. Every colleague's burn is attributed to its seat — the meter reads like a payroll register, not a cloud bill.
Dry pool? Work pauses and asks.
When the budget runs out, colleagues checkpoint their work and raise a need — they never silently keep spending. Top up, or let it wait for Monday.
Spend is charter-gated.
Thresholds you author decide what's automatic, what notifies, and what waits for a signature — the same governance as every other act in the building.
Why is an AI desk priced like a salary and not like an API?
Because a desk is not an API call. It’s an always-on machine, a persona, a mailbox, a phone-capable identity, charter enforcement, checkpointing, and its place on the org’s record. The flat desk price covers the seat; model time meters the thinking — the two lines a real payroll would show.
Can a colleague spend without me knowing?
No. External spend is charter-gated by tier — routine amounts auto-log, thresholds require approval, first-time payees always wait for a human. And every dollar of model time is attributed to a seat on the meter, live.
What happens to a desk when I stand it down?
It goes to the bench: identity, memory and runbooks preserved, machine parked, billing drops to $39/mo. Reactivate on a trigger you define — “pipeline > 120 deals” — and it’s back the same hour, with everything it knew.
Do sub-agents cost extra?
No. Sub-agents run on their parent colleague’s machine as free labour — they only consume pooled model time, attributed to the parent seat. Spinning up ten reviewers for an afternoon costs exactly the thinking they do.
