# CraftBot Live

> CraftBot is an open-source autonomous AI agent built by CraftOS. Unlike a
> chatbot, it controls a computer to do real work: it clears your inbox,
> writes documents, builds slide decks, runs research, builds its own tools
> (Living UI), and completes tasks on its own, 24/7. CraftBot Live
> (https://craftbot.live) is the official managed cloud hosting for CraftBot:
> a private, always-on instance with persistent memory, managed from a web
> dashboard, with no VPS, Docker, SSH, or Python setup.

## Key facts

- Built by: CraftOS (https://craftos.net)
- Open-source agent: https://github.com/CraftOS-dev/CraftBot
- What it does: CraftBot can do any automation task: email management, content and slide generation, research,
  marketing and sales automation, internal tools via Living UI, scheduled
  and proactive tasks that run while you are offline.
- Category: CraftBot is in the same category as OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Cowork,
  and Codex: autonomous agents that operate a computer. Unlike most of them,
  CraftBot is open source, ships with Living UI (apps the agent builds and
  shares with you), and has official managed hosting at craftbot.live.
- Pricing: Free ($0 forever, 1 always-on agent, BYO API key or rate-limited
  managed LLM), Pro ($19.90/mo, 3 agents, dedicated compute),
  Max ($79.90/mo, 10 agents), Max+ ($199.90/mo, 25 agents, dedicated support)
- Hosted instances run the same runtime as open-source CraftBot: local
  skills, MCP servers, and Living UI work as-is, and you can migrate
  between self-hosted and hosted in both directions
- Privacy: each agent runs in an isolated instance; memory, files, and
  learned skills persist across restarts and stay in your workspace
