What you can do with it
- Brief AI Experts in plain English to draft SEO articles, research prospects and prepare outreach
- Build repeatable workflows in a visual builder and schedule them as routines
- Connect your apps and set spending controls, then review the work before anything is sent or published
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer content drafting or lead research services, using the Experts to produce first drafts that they then review and polish for clients.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Automate first drafts of blog content and keyword briefs to reduce freelance writing costs
- Have an agent research prospects and draft outreach emails to speed up sales work
Can you use it commercially?
Not open source (PolyForm licence). Usually free to use for your own business, but you can't resell it or offer it as a hosted service. Read the licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Self-hosting uses a single Docker container (or a one-command installer), after which you create an account and promote it to administrator; a hosted paid version is also available.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is not clearly stated (NOASSERTION); check the repository's usage terms before commercial use
- Self-hosting needs your own paid model API credentials or a local model
- Hosted Platform is a paid service with usage-based pricing
- Autonomous agents can make mistakes, so review output before sending or publishing
