- Pre-loaded integrations: access to scrapers, web search, memory, and multi-call planning right out of the box.
- API-based architecture: deploy agents as APIs that connect with other tools and platforms easily.
- Free tier availability: start with 50 agent runs monthly and unlimited MCP calls at no cost.
Use Cases:
- Competitive research: build agents that gather and analyze information about competitors automatically.

FAQs:
1) How does Toolhouse differ from coding my own AI solution?
Toolhouse eliminates infrastructure setup and integration complexities, letting you focus on what you want to achieve rather than how to build it.
2) Can I integrate Toolhouse agents with other platforms?
Yes, agents are created as APIs that can connect with tools like Lovable, Bolt, v0, and Cursor.
3) What happens if I use all my free credits?
You'll need to wait until the next monthly refresh or upgrade to a paid plan to continue using your agents.
4) Do I need to pay for the AI model usage separately?
No, LLM usage on the default model is included in your agent runs without extra charges.
5) Can I export my agent configurations?
Yes, each agent is stored as a configuration file you can save locally or on GitHub for backup or version control.
