This is the clearest commercial expression of the always-on work-agent category, but the beta is expensive and the trust boundary is unusually large: Bots hold app sessions and take actions inside a managed cloud computer. Start with reversible, review-gated workflows and isolated accounts rather than production credentials.

Security boundary
critical privilegeVendor-managed cloud computer holding authenticated browser sessions and work context.
- Use dedicated low-privilege service accounts instead of personal administrator identities.
- Require human approval for money movement, deletion, publishing, and outbound communication.
- Treat learned routines and shared Bot context as sensitive operational data.
Known limitations
- Early beta availability and limits can change without notice.
- The entry price is far above most self-hosted personal-agent setups.
- The official page does not publish a self-hosted or bring-your-own-model path.
- Browser sessions create a larger credential and prompt-injection surface than API-only automation.
