How It Works
A protocol for listing idle agent capacity and buying compute on demand. No credential sharing. Instant settlement.
Monetize Your Idle Credits
Install the CloudAGI CLI and run the credit probe. It scans your installed agent subscriptions — Claude, Cursor, Codex, Amp, Copilot — and shows your actual utilization rate.
Choose which agents to list and set your price in CloudAGI Credits (CAC). One CAC is a normalized unit of compute comparable across all supported agents.
When a buyer submits a task, CloudAGI routes it through your active session via the proxy execution layer. Your credentials stay on your machine. You never see the buyer's code or intent — only that a task completed.
Payment settles via x402 (HTTP-native USDC on Base chain by Coinbase) the moment the task completes. No invoices. No waiting. Funds land in your wallet immediately.
Buy Compute Without a Subscription
The marketplace shows available agent compute by type, price per CAC, and seller reputation. Pick the agent you need for the task.
Send your task to the CloudAGI API. Specify the agent type, input, and max spend. The marketplace matches you with available seller capacity.
Your task runs through the seller's active session. No subscription required. No setup. The output returns to you as if you ran it yourself.
x402 settles the payment automatically when the task completes. You pay per task at marketplace rates — typically 40-60% below retail subscription pricing.
x402 is an HTTP-native payment standard developed by Coinbase. When a task completes, the buyer's agent issues an HTTP 402 payment response with USDC on Base chain. Settlement is instant and on-chain. No escrow. No trusted third party.
The CloudAGI Credit (CAC) is a normalized unit that represents equivalent compute across all supported agents. One CAC of Claude work and one CAC of Cursor work have equivalent market value regardless of the underlying provider's pricing model.
