Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free tier includes ten hours of agent runtime with no credit card required, so you can build and deploy a working agent before paying anything.

Which AI models are supported?

Pinata Agents supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and any model exposed through OpenRouter. You can switch models per agent at any time.

Can I bring my own API key?

Yes. Add your Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter key as an encrypted secret and your agent will use it for inference. Keys never leave your workspace and stay encrypted at rest.

Is self-hosting an option?

Yes — the agent runtimes are OpenClaw and Hermes, both open-source and self-hostable. Pinata Agents is the managed platform for running OpenClaw and Hermes — you skip Kubernetes setup, container builds, and TLS, and only pay for the time your agent is actually running.

How is this different from Replit Agent or Cursor?

Replit Agent and Cursor are coding assistants. Pinata Agents are persistent containerized agents that keep state across sessions, expose live web apps via routes, connect to messaging channels, and run scheduled tasks — closer to a managed Claude Code or Devin than an IDE plugin.

Can my agent run a real web app?

Yes. Any port your agent's container exposes can be mapped to a public URL via Routes. Up to 10 routes per agent, public or token-protected, served through Pinata's global edge with TLS and DDoS protection.

How do skills and the marketplace work?

Skills are pluggable capabilities — trading, DeFi monitoring, scraping, social posting — installed in one click from ClawHub. Each skill is a content-addressed package, so versions are pinned and reproducible.

Is everything versioned?

Yes. Every workspace change is captured as a content-addressed snapshot with a unique hash. You can browse history, diff between snapshots, and roll back to any prior state with one click.
