ERP•AI and Proto launch agent-operated business software with credit-based pricing
Overview
ERP•AI and Proto launch business software that agents build and operate.
The founding team says a user describes a process such as invoicing, CRM or inventory, Proto creates the app's fields, views and approval rules, and then Proto manages records and runs workflows after the user approves. The company calls this model Headless SaaS, in which every generated app is available through an API.
The company says the base account and Proto are free during alpha. A later X post by Rohan Paul says ERP.AI charges $0 per seat and bills API access, workflows, agents and AI through prepaid credits sold in $5, $20 and $100 packs, with $100 of starting credit lasting one month for new accounts. Paul gives the rate of $1 for 4,000 record writes, 2,000 workflow runs or 2,000 agent executions, with AI billed at model cost plus an 8% agent fee. No primary ERP.AI source for these pricing details has been reported, and no independent test of the product has been reported.
