No menus to pick from. No tiers to choose. The bot reads what you're asking, quotes a flat number up front, and only starts when you approve.
First $50 of work is on us — per workspaceThe bot is the one quoting. You're the one approving. We're the one eating any overrun.
Drop a task in Slack — fix a bug, refactor, draft a PR, anything. Bot might ask clarifying questions if the scope is ambiguous.
One flat number, up front. It tells you what's included and whether a human will be in the loop. You see the price before any work starts.
Say go, and work starts. Bill = quote, no matter what real cost is. If the bot under-quotes, that's our problem. Not yours.
Four promises baked into the model. Not marketing copy — actual product behavior.
Per workspace. No card to start. Use it on whatever, however. See if the bot's worth it before you put money on the table.
Bot says $X, you pay $X. Even if real compute or human time goes higher. We eat the overrun, you don't get a surprise bill.
The bot tells you when human is needed — and when it isn't. The recommendation isn't biased toward our margin. Sometimes it just says "I've got this."
If you uninstall, unused free quota or paid balance refunds. Per the privacy policy, your data wipes the same transaction.
The bot decides which path fits — execution work it handles itself, judgment work it routes to a human. You approve either way.
Routine engineering work — bug fix, refactor, scaffold a new project, write tests, draft a PR, explain code. Triggered by a Slack message, fulfilled async. No meeting, no booking, no waiting on a human's calendar.
For solution design, architecture choices, prod-touching changes, strategic calls — the bot pulls you aside and recommends booking time with an experienced engineer. They lead it, write the deliverable, stay on call.
You don't, exactly — and that's the point. Specific prices are quoted in-conversation, scoped to your actual task. Install with the $50 free credit, ask the bot to scope a real task you have, see what it quotes. No commitment.
Push back in chat. "That's too much" or "make it cheaper" tells the bot to shrink the scope to fit a lower price. It'll adjust. You're never stuck with a number you didn't agree to.
We eat it. The number the bot quoted is the number you pay, full stop. If real compute or human time goes higher than expected, that's on us. We learn from it; you don't bear it.
So a team of 20 doesn't get $1,000 of free agent time by virtue of headcount. The workspace is the billable unit; the free quota matches.
No. Top-up credit rolls over indefinitely. Uninstall any time and we refund unused balance.
No. miniCTO is paid per task, not per user. Everyone on the workspace can use it. You pay for the work the bot actually does for you.
Not yet — usage patterns vary too much. Per-task matches what you actually use. If your team scales to "we want unlimited agent time and a dedicated engineer", email cz2440@columbia.edu and we'll talk enterprise.
$50 free per workspace. No card. The bot DMs you when it's in.
