Early access pricing
Everything real is free. You pay only for convenience.
The whole standard — every skill, all six memory layers, the installer — runs on your own machine, unlocked, once you're in. AIBOS is in private beta today, so request access to get started. Cloud Admin and Team exist for people who'd rather have someone else run the admin layer.

How we actually make money
The standard itself is free. You only pay for convenience.
Everything in the standard, including the installer, is open source and free to download — none of it sits behind a paywall. Today, we make money from hosted Cloud Admin and Team subscriptions that handle the day-to-day admin work of a sphere for you. Paid add-ons sold through the marketplace are next on the roadmap. Self-hosting stays free and complete, on every tier, forever.
Add-ons
Free add-ons today. Paid ones are next.
Every add-on in the catalog right now — the six core skills, teach, sentinel, session-recall, and the rest — installs free. Nothing installs itself: you choose it, and every add-on is safety-scanned before it can run.
Today: the open catalog
Core add-ons plus optional ones, each version-numbered so you know what you're getting, free to add to any sphere today.
Next: paid add-ons from other developers
Outside developers publishing paid add-ons, with AIBOS taking a revenue share — designed already, and next in line to get built.
Questions
What people ask before they commit.
Is the free tier really everything?
Yes. Trellis (the thread system), all six memory layers, every skill, the health check, the whole add-on catalog, and the installer — the entire standard is free forever, with no account required to run it. Open source is the plan; today it's private beta, so request access to get in.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. AIBOS is built for an operator who directs agents, not for someone hand-writing code. You work through an AI coding agent like Claude Code or Codex: you say what you want built, and it does the typing. Installing AIBOS itself is two commands in the terminal — the text window where you type commands to your computer. Honestly: you will be looking at that window, but every step is written out for you — exactly what to type, and what you should see happen next.
What do I actually pay for?
Convenience — the hosted dashboard, the night reports, someone else running the admin layer for you. None of it is required; the underlying skill ships free either way. Cloud Admin covers one sphere, with health-check monitoring and device linking included. Team adds the onboarding flow and management tools for more than one person working in a sphere.
Can I self-host everything?
Yes, on every tier. Cloud Admin and Team just wrap the standard in a hosted layer — you're always free to run all of it yourself instead. Request access, and once you're in you clone the repo, run the installer, and you have the whole thing, working, on your own machine.
What's the marketplace?
A catalog of add-ons you choose to install — skills, tools, small apps, integrations, and more — each one version-numbered and clearly labeled with what it is and who made it. The catalog is open and free today. Paid add-ons from outside developers, with a revenue share, are on the roadmap and still to come.
Why is the standard in Norwegian?
Because that's the language its authors write in day to day — the real commands you'll type (/plasser, /lagre, /samsvar, and the rest) are Norwegian words today. An English translation of the whole standard is on the roadmap. Until then, this site explains every command in plain English wherever you'll actually use it.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac or Linux machine with bash and git already on it — most already have both. And an AI coding agent to actually direct the work once it's running: Claude Code is what the standard is built and field-tested against, though other agents work too.
Is "early access pricing" going to change?
The free tier's price never moves: $0, forever. Cloud Admin and Team are new hosted products, so their pricing may change as they grow — the free tier is the one promise that stays put.
Start with the free tier. It's the whole standard, and it stays free.
Request access, and once you're in: clone it and run the installer — two commands, start to finish. Add Cloud Admin or Team later, only if you'd rather have someone else host the admin layer.
