Free Haiku access to get started — limited time. Pro at $5/month.
Bring your own API key and pay providers directly. No markup, ever.
Limited time offer
BYOK required — Anthropic, OpenAI, or Groq
The $5/mo fee covers your OuterBot account. AI usage is billed directly to your API key — you see exactly what you pay for.
$5/month per person — choose the billing mode that fits your team.
Leader creates the team, pays $5/seat/month for everyone on one card. All members share the leader’s API key. Leader controls membership — remove someone and their AI access ends immediately.
Each member has their own Pro subscription at $5/month and their own API key. Collaboration features — shared projects, cross-member context, team briefings — are included in Pro at no extra charge.
During team creation: “How should your team be billed? → I’ll pay for everyone / We each pay our own”
Bring your own API key — pay providers directly, OuterBot adds $0.
You add your API key in Account Settings. When you chat, OuterBot uses your key and your provider bills you directly. We never touch your usage costs. You pay Anthropic, OpenAI, or Groq directly at their published rates.

No. Community is free with 10 Haiku messages/day included — no API key, no credit card. When you upgrade to Pro, you add your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Groq API key, and that provider bills you directly for usage.
Because it’s more honest and more efficient. You pay providers at published rates with zero markup — not a bundled margin. And Obie Active cuts your actual token usage by 40–70%, so your direct costs drop automatically. You feel every saved token; with a bundled plan you wouldn’t care.
There’s no hard end date — it’s a business decision we’ll make when the user base is large enough that word-of-mouth carries its own momentum. We’ll give users advance notice before any change.
Obie is OuterBot’s AI layer that runs before and after every main AI call. Obie Active pre-filters your context so the main model only sees what’s relevant. Obie Skills extracts patterns from your sessions and injects learned knowledge on future turns. Over time, Obie gets smarter about your specific project and coding style.
Fusion Mode dispatches your message to Sonnet 4.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro simultaneously via Together.ai, then Obie synthesizes the best answer from both. It achieves 100% pass rate on complex coding benchmarks at ~27% of the cost of running a single frontier model. Available as an opt-in mode on Pro.
Tandem Engine is a planner-executor system for complex multi-step tasks. A frontier model (Opus 4.8 or O3) plans your entire request once, producing a step-by-step strategy with success criteria. Then a fast model (Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-4.1) executes each step with full tool access. Obie watches every step and escalates targeted questions back to the planner only when needed — not a full re-plan. You get frontier-quality results without paying frontier prices for every execution turn. Pro only, requires Anthropic or OpenAI BYOK key.
Field Test is an AI-powered user testing tool that uses a real Chromium browser to simulate how users interact with your app. It can navigate pages, fill forms, click buttons, and take screenshots — giving you automated user testing feedback without writing any test scripts.
Managed: the team leader pays $5/seat/month for everyone and all members use the leader’s API key. Good for companies. Open: each member has their own $5/month Pro subscription and their own API key; collaboration features are included at no extra charge. Good for freelancers and indie teams.
