Hundreds of laptops and desktops across your company, idle nights, weekends and every hour nobody is on them. AI Workers turns that idle fleet into your own AI compute network. No new hardware. No new budget line. Works with the hardware you already own. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon. Any machine with spare capacity becomes an AI Worker. 95% of tasks run on open source models locally · near zero cost 5% of tasks go to cloud AI · pay only for what needs it Your hardware already paid for · finally working Cut up to 95% of your AI token cost using compute you already own. ## Why This Moment 01 Open source AI caught up. What cost thousands a month now runs locally for near zero. 02 Every office already owns the compute. Billions in idle chips across laptops, desktops and workstations. Any vendor. Any machine. 03 Companies hit AI tool overload. They bought the tools. Nothing owned the work. 04 The agent wave proved the gap. Everyone built agents. Nobody built accountability. 05 Open source distribution wins. Developers adopt. Teams deploy. Companies scale. Execution is the missing layer. PlumoAI is that layer. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is PlumoAI? PlumoAI is an open source AI Employees platform. Instead of buying separate AI tools, you hire pretrained AI Employees that own work end to end. Each AI Employee is trained with industry expertise and comes with ready-to-run workflows, data tables, BI dashboards, a knowledge base, web documents, persistent memory, skills, schedules and drives — plus access to multiple AI agents that it orchestrates to get the work done. ### What is the difference between an AI Employee and an AI agent? An AI agent handles one task, like researching a lead or sending an email. An AI Employee is much more: a pre-trained team member with industry expertise, workflows, data tables, BI dashboards, a knowledge base, memory and accountability. It has access to multiple AI agents and orchestrates them — calling the right agent whenever it's needed, just like a human manager directs a team — and owns the result. ### Is PlumoAI free? Yes. The self-hosted, open source version is free forever with unlimited AI Employees, users and workflows — you only pay for your own servers. PlumoAI Cloud is pay per use: add $20 to get 2,000 credits, and credits never expire. ### Do I need to know how to code? No. You hire an AI Employee in a few clicks and talk to it like a teammate. Ask it to build workflows, pipelines and dashboards for you, or drag and drop them yourself. ### Which AI Employees can I hire? Pretrained roles include AI Outreach Manager, AI Sales Manager, AI Delivery Manager, AI Support Manager, AI Research Manager and AI Ops Manager. New roles are added continuously. ### Where does PlumoAI run? On the web, Windows desktop and Android today, with macOS, Linux and iOS coming soon. You can also self-host it on your own infrastructure with Docker or Kubernetes. ### Can someone set PlumoAI up for me? Yes. The PlumoAI team can install PlumoAI on your infrastructure, configure your AI Employees and onboard your team through PlumoAI Setup Services. ## The shift is already happening. Founders with one laptop are outcompeting teams of fifty. The companies not moving now will spend three years catching up.
