Fixes it worked out during builds — applied automatically so it never repeats them.

A knowledge node with no indexed source returns empty — re-mechanism to a real read

It was configured with topics over Avery source pages, but nothing was indexed, so the brief core claim was left ungrounded.

For a “make the PDF a beautiful presentation” request, render with a real PDF library, not raw bytes

Flat raw-PDF streams read as one wall of prose; a vector library gives the layout control a slide-deck look needs.

Frontier model nodes must leave the model blank for platform resolution, never the literal “auto”

A pinned config rejected with a 404; every other node left it blank so the platform picks a valid installed model.

The production gap
Easy to demo, hard to trust
The production gap

Agents are easy to demo. Hard to trust with real work.

Most agents improvise every run. That is impressive until they touch customer data, money, production systems, or a regulated process. Then improvisation is the problem.

They drift

The same request can take a different path tomorrow. Reliability turns into prompt roulette.

They hide the reasoning

You see the final action, but not a clean, inspectable chain of the decisions behind it.

They leak control

Cloud runtimes, broad credentials, and autonomous actions put risk exactly where the value is highest.

They meter success

Every run reasons from scratch, so cost climbs with usage, including the repeated mistakes.

This is not a hunch. It is what the market is already seeing.

The turn

Avery is built for the exact reasons agents fail: cost, reliability, privacy, and governance — by running on your hardware, compiling to a deterministic graph, and reaching for a frontier model only when a step truly needs one.

Zero learning curve
One sentence → a working agent
How it works

From one sentence to working automation.

You do not build the agent. You describe the outcome. Avery researches it, specs it, compiles a deterministic workflow, wires the connections, and tests itself on your real data until it passes. Under 30 minutes. Zero concepts to learn.

1

Describe the outcome

Tell Avery what should happen, when it should happen, and where you want control. No nodes. No prompt engineering.
"Every Monday, pull unpaid invoices, draft polite chasers personalized by client history, let me review, then send and log outcomes."
2

Approve the plan

Avery drafts a readable specification: steps, access, decisions, approvals, and expected output. Nothing builds until you tap Looks right.

Never a black box

Why not another agent builder
Where every other platform stops
Why not another agent builder?

Easy enough for operators. Serious enough for production.

Developer frameworks are powerful but demand engineers. Cloud no-code agents are easy but shallow, metered, and locked in someone else's cloud. Research labs prove what is possible but ship nothing you can run. Avery does not make you choose.

The one-liner

Avery gives the people closest to the work agentic automation they can build, trust, run privately, and afford — without an engineering team or a cloud bill that scales with success.

The wow list
Everything that's only Avery
What makes it feel like the future

Unlike anything you've used.

Twelve things Avery does that other agent platforms don't — roughly in the order people say "wait, it does that?"

01

It builds, tests & ships itself

Describe it in a sentence. Avery researches it, writes a deterministic workflow, tests on your real data, and self-repairs until it passes.

The Fabricator
02

It runs on your hardware

Private by default, air-gapped ready. Your data and your models never leave your machine unless you grant it.

Local-first
03

The right brain for every step

Cloud, Ollama, or in-browser WebLLM — routed to the cheapest model proven reliable, cross-checked when it must be right.

Wisdom of the models
04

Deterministic where it counts

Not everything needs an LLM. Avery writes plain code and rules for exact logic — even whole connectors.

05

Learns & heals itself

From its own errors, your feedback, and which model wins at which task — no prompt-wrangling.

06

Auditable & repeatable

A plain-English trail of every step and cost. Same input, same output.

07

Apps, not just agents

Orchestrate many agents — direct or via a conductor — behind a beautiful UI.

08

Shareable as a file

Export any agent as a signed .avery — someone else imports, installs, runs.

09

Approval-gated by default

Every external access needs your explicit yes on the first run. Revocable, logged.

10

Budgets to the dollar

Spend caps per build, per run, and per agent. The meter never surprises you.

11

Skills → deterministic

Hand it a skill; it compiles it into a repeatable, deterministic workflow.

12

Teach it your world

Review its work and add knowledge; it absorbs your corrections and improves.

Wisdom of the ensemble
The right brain for every step
The secret sauce

Orchestration is the new way to scale AI. We made it legible.

Instead of waiting for one bigger model, combine several specialised ones — route each step to the right model to match the best frontier model at a fraction of the cost, and bring several together to beat any single one. Avery builds that wisdom of the ensemble in — where every decision stays cheap, explainable, and reproducible.

Route from measured capability

Avery learns which model is best at each task from your own runs and routes every step to the cheapest one proven reliable — preferring free on-device models.

Verify, then escalate

Each step is double-checked. Avery steps up to a stronger model only when a check actually fails — cheap-first, made safe.

Cross-check what matters

High-stakes steps are run across several models and reconciled — reserved for the steps that must be right.

One simple dial

Every agent gets a plain Fast · Balanced · Best choice. No model names. Anyone can set it.

FastOn-device
BalancedFrontier quality · on-device cost
BestCross-checked

Frontier-quality at on-device cost on Balanced. Better-than-frontier on demand at Best. Every decision explained, reproducible, and learned from your own runs.

The Avery difference
The two-plane architecture
The Avery difference

Your agent does not stay an agent.

Avery uses frontier AI to design and test the workflow once. Then it compiles that intelligence into inspectable software made of rules, code, local models, and cloud calls you have explicitly approved. The creative AI builds the machine. The reliable machine runs the work.

Air-gapped by default

Runs fully offline. No egress to "turn off" — there is none unless you grant it.

Deterministic, not a prompt

Every agent is an inspectable, versioned graph. Same input, same output.

The right model per step

Rules, code, on-device, or frontier — chosen by measured capability and cost.

Every step is logged

An append-only ledger records each step in plain English — auditable end to end.
