An agent is not a chatbot
A chatbot answers a question: you ask for a text, it gives you a text, and it is up to you to copy it, format it and publish it. An agent carries a task through to the end: it gets an instruction, uses tools (a website, a directory, an outbox, a customer database) and hands you a result, then a report of what it did.
For a freelancer the difference is concrete. “Write me a home page” gives you a draft. “Publish a page presenting my classes, with a contact form” gives you a page online, at your address, with its form connected to your contacts.
What MyAiCompany's agents do
On MyAiCompany, your company looks like a city, and each campus groups specialised agents:
- Studio: builds your site and your tools, and takes your free-form requests. A page costs 60 maic, the whole site 180.
- Market: finds your customers, checks their addresses and prepares the first contacts. 25 contacts with an e-mail drafted for each: 270 maic at most; a contact that cannot be verified is not charged.
- Stage: your pitch, your slides, the rehearsal before the meeting. 40 maic plus 8 per minute.
- Town Hall: customers, products, orders, invoices, payments. Adding a customer is free, an invoice costs 8 maic.
- Library: your company's memory. It reads what you upload and keeps it, so every agent starts from what it already knows.
- Plant: site, domain in your name, e-mail addresses, everything that is online.
1 maic = one cent, and the CHF 20 monthly subscription credits 2,000 maic every month. The first moves are detailed in the first-steps guide.
Quote, approval, report: the rule that protects your budget
An agent that spends without asking is a risk, not a help. Every action therefore follows the same path: you fill in a three-field form, the quote in maic appears, and nothing starts until you tick the approval box and press “Start”.
The quote is a ceiling, not a fixed price: at the end only what was actually used is charged and the rest goes back to your balance. The report spells it out, for example “Actual cost: 15 maic (quote 90, 75 returned)”. A domain or a mailbox, on the other hand, has a firm price: the registry's or provider's price plus our margin, shown first.
The Bazaar: more agents, reviewed before they arrive
Beyond the built-in agents, developers publish agents your company can buy in the Bazaar. Each one goes through review, tests and a jury before it appears. An agent you buy puts its building on its campus: what you see in your city is exactly what you own.
Need something nobody covers? You put credits in a pool, other companies with the same need top it up, and the first vetted developer who accepts the price builds the agent. If the pool does not succeed, it is returned. The first funders keep the agent forever.
The limits, stated plainly
Agents can be wrong. They tell you so, and they never invent a result. Anything that commits your business, such as a quote, an invoice or an outreach e-mail, is reviewed before it goes out: nothing enters your Town Hall and no outreach e-mail is sent without your review.
Outgoing mail is capped at 500 e-mails per month per company, and monitored: spam gets sending suspended. Agents do not replace an accountant either: the platform handles no administrative formality for you (see Your obligations).
