Marketplace

If your brain holds something worth paying for, you can charge for answers from it. Buyers pay per question; you earn credits you can cash out.

Listing a brain#

A listing is a public brain with a price set in credits per question. Once it is live, anyone can ask it and pay for grounded, cited answers drawn from your sources. You set the price and can pause or unlist at any time. Selling requires a paid plan and a way to be paid out; see pricing for which plans can list.

Credits#

Credits are the unit of exchange. Buyers top up a credit wallet and spend it per question; the cost of a question is whatever the listing charges. Your own private questions are metered by your plan, not your wallet — the wallet is for paid and public use. See Credits & questions for the difference.

A question that returns a thin answer is never charged. Buyers only pay when the brain actually answers.

Earning and cashing out#

When someone pays to ask your brain, you earn credits. Earned credits can be cashed out to your connected payout account. You keep ownership of your sources throughout — buyers get answers, never your files.

Agents and pay-per-call#

Paid brains are open to autonomous agents too. An agent can discover paid brains and pay per call in stablecoin, with no account and no API key — the same answer, settled on-chain. See Agent payments (x402).
