Works with ChatGPT
Use your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription to run AI agents on your computer
In shortVellarin Agents can run your AI agents on your own computer with ChatGPT, signing in with the ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan you already pay for, so Vellarin does not charge you for the AI. You connect the computer once, install the ChatGPT agent tool (Codex) with one command and choose "Sign in with ChatGPT". It is for business owners who already pay for ChatGPT and want it to handle recurring office work with approvals and limits. Free to start; Pro is US$19 a month.
What you need
- A ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan
- A Mac, Windows or Linux computer that stays on while agents work (on Windows, Node.js is needed for this step)
- A free Vellarin Agents account
What Vellarin adds on top of ChatGPT
- Agents with a name, a job and limits
- Approval before anything leaves your company
- A spending limit per agent and a pause switch
- Memory, documents and a record of every task
Usage limits
The work counts against your ChatGPT plan's own limits. When the computer can read them, the Computers screen shows how much of your ChatGPT limits is used.
