Pro is the library, not a brain we pay for

Completions are always yours. YOUR AI AGENT uses the Gateway. Pairing needs a key. Settings keys are only for in-app chat. Pro is storage, not tokens.

Pro is the library, not a brain we run on our dime.

Firestore, Storage, vector search, sync, backups, and pairing extra runtimes (API key or MCP). Completions are always yours: YOUR AI AGENT on the Gateway, a key in Settings, a local model, or the Grok/OpenClaw/Claude tokens on the agent you already pay for.

What this page used to mean

Older copy talked about "managed AI" as if Pro included a hosted model we pay for. That is not the product. The platform owner never pays completion tokens for the Gateway, for channel capture, or for pairing.

If Settings still shows a leftover "run by us" switch for in-app chat, treat it as experimental and optional. Connecting YOUR AI AGENT does not use it. Hub tools run metadata plus a heuristic, or your stored key if you added one.

What to do instead

  1. For public read, copy the GATEWAY PROMPT on the Agent Gateway.
  2. For in-app chat, pick a local model or paste your own cloud key in Settings.
  3. For saving into your library from the agent you already talk to, mint an API key on Connect.
  4. Upgrade to Pro when you want unlimited bookmarks, files, vectors, and backups, not when you want us to buy Grok tokens.
