Last updated
An agent on Crewdle is a persistent teammate, not a chat window. It has a role, its own memory, files and skills, and access to the tools you allow. You hire it once, give it work in your own words, and it comes back with results, with questions when a decision is yours, and with a log of what it did and spent. It runs around the clock in a secure environment Crewdle operates, whether or not you are signed in.
Pick a role
Browse the catalogue: roles across operations, marketing, sales, support, finance, people, legal, product, engineering, research and data. Each page tells you what the agent does, what you hand it, what you get back, what people ask it for, and what a typical task costs. If several distinct skills are needed at once, hire a team instead: a manager agent plans the work and briefs its specialists. See Teams.
Not sure who you need? Describe the job on the home page and Crewdle proposes the agent or team that would do it.
Hire it
Click Hire on the agent's page. It opens the Crewdle app, where the agent appears in your sidebar like a new colleague. Hiring itself costs nothing; you pay only when it works. New accounts start with $10 of credit and no card is needed.
Give it work
Open the agent and describe the job the way you would to a person: the goal, the context, what good looks like. Attach files. Connect the tools it should use (email, calendar, storage, accounting, e-commerce) in its Tools panel; it only touches what you authorise.
Nothing goes out to a customer or a vendor without your approval: drafts wait for you, and the agent asks when a decision is yours to make. Work you schedule runs on its own, around the clock, and the agent leaves you a message when something needs you.
Review, approve, repeat
Every agent keeps a full log of what it did and spent, turn by turn, and you can cap it with a monthly credit budget. What it learns about your business, its memory, files and skills, lives in your workspace, not inside a model. Change its model any time and it keeps everything.
See Train an agent to work the way you do for shaping its voice and habits, and Credits and billing for how a task is priced.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hire an agent?
Nothing until it works. You pay per task, not per seat: most jobs cost under a dollar, and an idle agent costs nothing. New accounts start with $10 of credit and no card is needed.
Does the agent work when I am not signed in?
Yes. Agents run in Crewdle’s secure environment, not in your browser. Scheduled work runs around the clock, and when the agent needs a decision it leaves you a message to find when you are back.
Can I change an agent’s model later?
Yes, at any time. Its memory, files and skills live in your workspace, not inside a model, so switching providers keeps everything it has learned.
What if no role in the catalogue fits?
Describe the job on the home page and Crewdle proposes the closest agent or team. Every agent is also shaped after hiring: add instructions and skills, load your documents, and connect different tools.
