It is not a catalog of verticals. You get continuous operation, recovery, and operational guardrails on top of the same open workflow. ## Your keys, not ours You keep provider accounts, model choice, and spend. ReadyAgents does not sit in the middle of your API keys — not on the free toolkit, and not on a pack. ## Who it is for ### Developers Start with the open toolkit. Inspect the workflow, attach tools over MCP, and run with the providers you already pay for. ### Business owners Use a ready system when an agent has to stay up. You are not buying a demo, and you are not handing over your API keys. ## Packs, plainly ### Do I need a paid pack to start? No. Open Core is free. Use the Agent Workflow + MCP Toolkit on your own machine or server. ### What does BYOK mean? Bring your own keys. You keep the provider accounts and the bill. ReadyAgents is built so we are not the broker for your model spend. ### When should I add a pack? When a workflow has to run continuously — not as a one-off experiment. Packs add always-on operation, recovery, and guardrails. ### How do I get the open-source toolkit? Clone it from GitHub and follow the getting started guide. The docs page has the short path. ## Join the waitlist for always-on packs Packs are not for sale yet. Open Core stays a free local one-shot, BYOK. One email when that changes.
