Short answers to the questions people ask first. Each answer links to the page that explains it.
What it is
Section titled “What it is”What is Agentivity?
Section titled “What is Agentivity?”A platform to build and run AI agents, AI teams and workflows, without writing code. You build in the Studio, a visual editor in your browser. See What Agentivity is.
How is it different from a chatbot?
Section titled “How is it different from a chatbot?”A chatbot answers a question, and you do the rest. With Agentivity you build specialists with a role, you organise them in teams, and the work comes back finished. A person is asked only when a decision is theirs.
What can I do with it?
Section titled “What can I do with it?”Work with several steps that needs judgement on the way: read documents and file them, prepare and write a note, compare options, handle a request from start to finish. Four examples are ready to import. See What you can do with Agentivity.
Does it replace my team?
Section titled “Does it replace my team?”No. It takes the repetitive work and comes back to your people for the decisions. See How a person stays in control.
Who it is for
Section titled “Who it is for”Do I need to know how to code?
Section titled “Do I need to know how to code?”No, to build. You describe what you need to the Assistant, or you build in the Studio with names, descriptions in plain words, and drag and drop.
Two things need a technical colleague: installing the Community edition on a server, and building an application of your own on top of it.
I am not technical. Can I install it?
Section titled “I am not technical. Can I install it?”If you can copy a command into a terminal, yes: the install is one command, once Docker is on your machine. See Install Agentivity with Docker. If that is not for you, a hosted workspace has nothing to install: see Start a hosted workspace.
Is the Studio in my language?
Section titled “Is the Studio in my language?”The Studio is in English. Your agents can work in any language that your AI model handles: write their instructions in the language you want them to use.
What you need and what you pay
Section titled “What you need and what you pay”What do I need to start?
Section titled “What do I need to start?”A computer or a server that runs Docker, and an account with an AI model provider.
Is there a free trial of a hosted workspace?
Section titled “Is there a free trial of a hosted workspace?”Yes. It lasts 14 days, needs no card, and has every feature of the plan you choose, with up to 200 executions. See Start a hosted workspace. The prices are on the pricing page.
Why did my execution not start?
Section titled “Why did my execution not start?”The workspace says why: no plan in force, an update under way, or a limit of the plan reached. See Why did my execution not start?.
Is the Community edition free?
Section titled “Is the Community edition free?”Yes. It is free of charge, with no time limit. See What the Community edition includes.
Do I pay for the AI model?
Section titled “Do I pay for the AI model?”Yes, separately. You connect your own account with the provider you choose, and that provider bills you directly for what your agents use. Agentivity adds nothing to it.
Which AI models can I use?
Section titled “Which AI models can I use?”Models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI and DeepSeek, and Claude models through AWS Bedrock. You can connect several and choose which one each agent uses. See Connect an AI model.
What does a request cost me?
Section titled “What does a request cost me?”It depends on your provider and on the model. As a rule: each agent that works calls the model at least once, so a team with many members costs more for one request than a single agent. Start small, and set a spending limit with your provider if it offers one.
Your data
Section titled “Your data”Where is my data kept?
Section titled “Where is my data kept?”With the Community edition, on the machine where you installed Agentivity, in one Docker volume. With a hosted workspace, in your workspace, which Agentivity runs, in the European Union; the owner can export everything in one file from Administration > Data. See Update Agentivity and back up your data.
Is what I write sent to Agentivity?
Section titled “Is what I write sent to Agentivity?”With the Community edition, no. Everything you build stays on your server: agents, teams, workflows, tables and credentials are not sent to Agentivity. The image sends no telemetry, unless you give it the address of a collector of your own. With a hosted workspace, your content is stored in your workspace and processed only to provide the service, as your processor: see the Data Processing Agreement. See Telemetry.
What goes to the AI model provider?
Section titled “What goes to the AI model provider?”What an agent sends when it works: its instructions, the request, and the documents or rows it uses for that request. It goes to the provider you connected, under that provider’s terms. Do not give an agent what must not leave your server.
Does Agentivity need the internet?
Section titled “Does Agentivity need the internet?”Your agents need it to reach the AI model. The Studio needs it to show the ready-made solutions of the marketplace. Building and running workflows that have no AI step and no outside service work without it.
