Cloud

The agent you can leave alone.

VARA is an AI agent that works in its own sandbox. Give it a job, set the limits, close the lid, and read the receipt: what it did, what it refused, what it cost, and how to undo it.

Early access, in small groups. Nothing is charged today.

Example receipts, written for this page. They are not measured results.

One agent for any job that fits on a computer.

VARA is built around code, and the same tools let it research, clean data, write reports and watch things for you. Coding is where it is best tested. We will publish what we measure for the rest.

Files, a shell and a code view
Reads, edits and runs things in its own folder. You read the folder like an IDE, see every change line by line, and browse the git history. Every edit is checkpointed.
The web
Searches and reads pages, and shows the sites it used. Text from the web is marked as untrusted, and commands that follow it are checked harder.
A browser you can watch Founder and Pro
A private browser opens pages, clicks and tests them. You follow it live: the address, each step, every screenshot.
It asks with choices
When it needs you it asks with options, a recommended one first, and a box for your own answer. If you do not answer in time it takes the recommended or the safest option, so a job never stalls the night.
A plan and a live terminal
It writes a checklist and ticks it off as it goes. The commands it runs, and what they print, appear beside the chat as they happen.
Telegram and Discord Founder and Pro
Talk to it from a bot of your own. Its words, actions and failures arrive as it works, and its questions come as buttons.
Connected apps
Connect tools and services through MCP. Their tokens are kept sealed, out of the agent’s reach.
Skills, commands and memory
Teach it how you work once and call it with a slash. It remembers between sessions, and long jobs are folded into a summary so they never run out of room.
The AI
Every plan includes VARA's platform models, with a fresh monthly allowance. Your own key is optional — bring it and pay the provider directly, instead.
Undo
Every edit is checkpointed. Put a file back with one command.
Helpers Pro
Splits a big job between sub-agents and merges what they find.

You set the limits. It keeps them.

How long it may work

Every job has a time limit and a step limit, and your plan has monthly active hours. At a limit it stops and tells you. Every job also has a cost cap (5 dollars unless you change it), and you can add a monthly one. At the cap it stops and tells you.

How much it does alone

Standard asks before risky steps. Away does not stop to ask: it takes the safest option, writes down what it assumed, and sets aside what needs you. Full access is for jobs you trust and still refuses the worst commands.

What it never does

Some commands are refused in every mode: wiping the machine, writing to raw disks, shutting it down, fork bombs. On VARA Cloud it also blocks downloading code to run, sending secrets out and opening reverse shells.

  • How the guard holds up against hostile web pages with live models. We are building that test and will publish the result, good or bad.
  • Network separation between workspaces and the server. It is being finished and tested before invitations widen.
  • Your model key is kept sealed on the server and added to requests there, so a command the agent runs cannot read it.
  • A filter for outbound connections from your workspace.
  • Billing. Nothing is charged today.

Early-access prices.

Nothing is charged today. Every plan now comes with VARA's own AI models — no model key needed (bring yours if you prefer). The meter is fair: context repeated inside one conversation is not billed twice. Every plan also has the code view, the plan checklist, the live terminal, skills, memory, file attachments and undo.

The toolbox is the same in every plan, and the AI is included in each. What differs is how much work you expect, and how much runs at once.

Free

To try the agent on your own work. No card.

  • A whole month of use: roughly a thousand short messages or dozens of working jobs.
  • Your day keeps its rhythm: a five-hour window that refills itself — one natural working session at a time.
  • The whole toolbox: your files, the shell, the web, skills, memory, and undo on every change.
  • You pay only for what is new: text repeated inside your conversation is not billed twice.

Questions.

Is it only for coding?

No. The same tools (files, a shell, the web) let it research, clean data, write reports and watch things for you. It is built around code and best tested there.

Is it live?

Not yet. It is in early access. Join the waitlist and we invite people in small groups, so we can watch the load and fix problems early.

Do I need my own model key?

No. Every plan now includes VARA's platform models, with the allowance of your plan. If you want a specific provider or a stronger model, bring your own key and you pay that provider directly.

What does a job cost?

Each job shows its model cost while it runs, and stops at its cost cap (5 dollars unless you change it). We have not published measured averages yet; when we do, they will be on this page.

Where does my code run?

Each user gets a container of their own, with limits on processor, memory and processes. Network separation between workspaces and the server is still being finished: see "Not proven yet" above.

What happens at my limit?

The agent pauses and tells you. It does not carry on past your plan's hours.

Can I leave?

Yes. The core is open source under the MIT license, so you can run VARA on your own server.

How do I hear back?

In the app, and by a phone notification when a job finishes or needs you. Notifications use the free ntfy app, so no account with us is needed for them.

Can I get a refund?

Nothing is charged today. When paid plans start, they will come with a full refund in the first 14 days.

Leave it alone.

We invite people in small groups so we can watch the load. You get one email, when your seat opens.
