Deployment

Self-hosted AI automation, unmetered.

Run AGNT on the desktop, on a home server, or in a container on infrastructure you already pay for. There is no execution ceiling, no per-task counter, and no tier that unlocks the ability to run your own automation more often.

Three Ways to Run

Same runtime, different footprint

Workflows and agents are portable across all three. Build on the desktop, move to a server when the work needs to run around the clock.

01 / DESKTOP

Windows, macOS, Linux

The full application with the visual builder, agent workspace, and marketplace. The fastest way to start — install and run, no account required.

02 / DOCKER

Containerized

Run headless in a container on a NAS, a VPS, or your own cluster. Ideal for scheduled and webhook-triggered work that should not depend on a laptop being awake.

03 / MANAGED

AGNT-hosted cloud

If you would rather not operate it, paid tiers run the same runtime for you with encrypted vault sync and 24/7 execution.

# Pull and run headless — persist state to a local volume
docker run -d --name agnt \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v ./agnt-data:/app/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/agnt-gg/agnt:latest

# With a local model — no data leaves the host
docker compose up -d   # agnt + ollama, see the docs for the compose file

Current image tags, compose files, and environment variables are documented in the setup guide.

The Economics

Why unmetered changes what you automate

Per-task pricing shapes behaviour

When each run costs money, you ration automation. The work that gets automated is the work expensive enough to justify the meter — which excludes most of the small, frequent, genuinely annoying tasks.

  • High-frequency polling becomes uneconomic
  • Retries and error handling cost extra
  • Testing a workflow consumes production budget
  • Success is penalised — more volume, higher bill

Owning the runtime removes the question

Local execution has no marginal platform cost, so the only question is whether the automation is useful — not whether it clears a per-run price.

  • Poll every minute if that is what the job needs
  • Retry aggressively; failures are free
  • Test as much as you like before shipping
  • Scale volume without scaling platform spend

What you do still pay for

Model inference. If you route to a hosted provider, that provider bills you directly for tokens — AGNT does not mark it up or sit in the middle. Route to a local model through Ollama or LM Studio and that cost goes to zero as well, at the price of running the hardware yourself.
