Built for teams that want a predictable line item, not a metered usage statement.
Two tiers. Annual only. No per-task credits. No surprise bills. Each fellow is custom-built for one role on your team.
Each fellow is custom-built for one job. Need a Sales fellow and a Paralegal fellow? That is two engagements, scoped separately.
Standard fellow handles structured tasks and defined workflows. Senior fellow handles complex, heavy-context, frontier-model work. Tier is set by the role, not by your company size.
You commit for a year. We commit to a fellow custom-built for your team. No per-task surprises. No credit overage emails.
A fellow fills a role. So compare it to what filling a role actually costs.
A junior hire
$4,000+ / month
$45–65k salary before payroll taxes, benefits, and equipment. Months to recruit and ramp. Works forty hours a week, and turnover means starting over.
An agency or fractional help
$3,000–8,000 / month
Typical retainers for a slice of someone's week. Shared attention, scoped hours, and the knowledge walks out the door when the contract ends.
A Standard fellow
$1,500 / month
Custom-built for the role, live in about a week, available every day, and your whole team can use it. Honest scope: it drafts and does — a human still reviews the high-stakes work.
A fellow is not a person, and we do not price it like one. It is a role, filled reliably, at a fraction of the cost of any other way to fill it.
Most fellows are Standard. Senior is reserved for roles that need frontier-model reasoning across heavy context.

Most teams start with one fellow and add a second once the first one is humming. Each fellow is its own engagement, scoped and priced separately. A team running a Standard Sales fellow and a Senior Developer fellow pays $18,000 plus $48,000 per year, on aligned annual terms.
Best for: Larger MSPs, multi-attorney law firms, scale-up SaaS, ecommerce brands with complex stacks
When you add a second fellow, we align it to your existing renewal date so you have one annual review cycle, not several scattered ones. Multi-fellow scoping happens in your /demo conversation.
If you want to see a fellow do real work in your stack before committing to a year, run a paid 30-day pilot. We scope the role, build the fellow, and ship it into your Slack or Teams. You evaluate against your own KPIs. At the end of 30 days, you decide whether to convert to annual.
The pilot is paid, not free. That is intentional. Paid pilots get serious teams. Free trials get tire-kickers. We staff every pilot with the same care we would put into an annual engagement, so we want partners who are equally serious.
Pilot pricing rolls into the annual cost if you convert. If you do not convert, you keep what the fellow shipped during the pilot and we walk away.
No per-task credits.
You do not pay $0.05 every time the fellow drafts an email. You pay an annual rate.
No per-seat fees.
The fellow lives in your workspace. Your whole team can use it.
No surprise overages.
If we underscoped your engagement, that is our problem to solve, not yours.
No model markup.
We run OpenAI and Anthropic models through Amazon Bedrock inside our AWS environment, and your data is never used to train models. You are not paying us a margin on raw tokens.
No add-on fees for integrations we already connect to.
Every integration in our standard set is included.
Every fellow is custom-built. If you run on a tool we do not have a public integration page for, that does not mean we cannot connect to it. During scoping we map your full stack. Standard integrations are included in the tier price. Truly custom or non-API integrations may scope as a one-time setup add. We are clear about it during scoping. No surprises after the contract is signed.

|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Annual, scoped per role | Per-task or per-credit | Per-user, per-month |
| Predictability | Fixed annual | Variable, depends on usage | Predictable but scales with team |
| Surprise bills | No | Possible (overages) | Possible (seat sprawl) |
| Custom-built per role | Yes | No (generalist) | Sometimes |
| Whole team can use | Yes | Yes | No (per seat) |
If predictability matters to your finance team, we are the answer. If you would rather pay only for what you use and accept the variability, credit-based tools are honest about that trade-off.
Because the work falls into two buckets. Most fellows handle structured workflows in defined channels. A few need frontier-model reasoning across heavy context. Two tiers covers every fellow we ship today.
No. The tier is the model class plus the support cadence plus the work profile. If you need frontier reasoning, the role belongs in the Senior tier.
Around one week from signed agreement to live fellow. Faster for simpler scopes.
Yes. Most teams start with one role and add a second once the first one is humming. We re-scope and align renewal dates.
Yes, case-by-case. Tell us about your org during the demo.
