Operator is a managed environment for AI work. You describe what you want in chat and an agent runs on its own instance with a filesystem, browser, terminal, scheduled jobs, and every major frontier model preloaded. No containers to wire up, no model keys to shop for. Each instance is its own computer. Upload files and the agent can read them. Ask for a skill and it writes one. Schedule a job and the agent runs it on its own while you sleep.Documentation Index

Plans and credits
Every paid plan includes a monthly credit allowance that powers AI work: reasoning, web research, video, image, and audio generation. Basic runs one agent at $20/mo, Pro at $50, Max at $175. When you need a bit more capacity than your plan includes, buy a one-time top-up from Settings. Top-up credits roll over. Running more than one agent in parallel is the Enterprise plan. Reach out to [email protected] when you need a fleet.Next steps
