The terminal people already wanted, now with an agent meter. Free stays a real terminal plus BYOK; Build is $20 for 1,500 credits at API-shaped rates. Factories (cloud agent fleets) are a second SKU with a 20% PAYG markup. Closed client. No hands-on run in this catalog pass.
Strengths
- Modern terminal UX plus AI agent in one tool.
- Free tier keeps a real terminal and BYOK.
- Public credit math: $20 for 1,500 credits.
Known limitations

- Cloud agents and Factories are extra surface area with their own markup.
- Closed source; you cannot audit the client or self-host the agent service.

Use it when
- Developers who want terminal modernization plus AI in one app.
- Free-tier users happy with BYOK for agent tasks.
- Teams needing cloud agent fleets via Factories.
Skip it when
- Heavy agent use would force expensive Build/Max tiers.
- You need an auditable open-source terminal.
- Team SSO/BYOLLM requirements rule out Build.
