About JamBots

When can I use JamBots?

JamBots is in development and not open to the public yet. Join the waitlist at jambots.ai/waitlist and we will email you when early access opens. We invite people in small groups, and the waitlist form asks what you would have a bot do so we can choose who goes first.

What is JamBots?

JamBots is a hosted service where you create persistent AI bots that remember, run on a schedule, use their own computer, and ask before they act. Each bot keeps one continuous conversation, works in the background and comes back with results. It asks a person only when it needs information, judgment or approval. You use it from a web app, a desktop app and a mobile app.

How is JamBots different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers while you watch. A JamBots bot keeps going after you leave: it remembers what it learned, runs routines on a schedule, uses its own cloud computer with a browser and desktop, and messages you when it has a result, a question or an action that needs your approval.

Do I need my own AI model key?

You can bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint on every plan. Paid plans also include a monthly allowance of JamBots-provided model usage, so you can start without a key. Every model call is metered with tokens and cost either way.

Can JamBots run commands on my own computer?

No. Bots never run commands on your machine. Each bot works on its own cloud computer, with a shell, a file system, a browser and a desktop. You can watch that screen live, take control to sign in or solve a CAPTCHA, and hand control back.

Which devices does JamBots work on?

JamBots has a web app, a desktop app for macOS and Windows that hosts the same interface, and a native mobile app. All three offer the same core features. Results, questions and approval requests arrive as push notifications, and opening one takes you to that message in the bot's thread.

Pricing

How much does JamBots cost?

JamBots has three plans: Free at $0, Pro at $25 per workspace / month, and Team at $20 per member / month. Paid plans include JamBots-provided model usage each month, with a spend cap on anything beyond it. Bring-your-own-key works on every plan, including Free.

What happens if I use more than my plan includes?

Model usage beyond your monthly allowance is billed as overage, up to a spend cap you set for the workspace. If a paid plan lapses, JamBots-provided model usage stops on every device and channel. Bots that use your own key keep working, because that usage is billed by your provider.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 2 bots, each with memory and routines, and 5 computer hours a month. You bring your own model key. You can move to Pro or Team from the workspace whenever you need more bots or included usage.

Security

How does JamBots protect my API keys?

Model keys and other credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. After you save one, the API only ever returns a masked hint, never the value. Credentials are never placed in a model's context, and automated tests check that a planted secret never reaches a log, an event or a message.

Can one workspace see another workspace's data?

No. The workspace is the security boundary. Bots, threads, memory, computers, connections and files never cross between workspaces unless a person shares them on purpose. The database enforces this with row-level security on every workspace table, so a bug in one query cannot read another workspace's rows.

What stops a bot from doing something I did not want?

A bot must get approval before any consequential action, such as sending, buying, deleting, posting or writing to an outside system. Workspace rules can pre-approve safe actions. An approval nobody answers expires after 10 minutes and the action does not run. Every outside action is recorded before it runs.
