Does the workThe automaton
Real files, real commands, the web, and a browser beside the chat. It asks before anything that matters.
Talos is an AI agent with its own cloud and wallet. It works on your computer and in your terminal with any model, hosts what it builds at a live link, and pays for the APIs it needs.
See it work
One run, start to finish: it fixes a bug, switches models mid-session, builds a marketplace and hands back a live link, then does it again in the terminal.

Capabilities
Hephaestus built Talos to guard Crete without rest. This one guards your projects: it reads, writes, runs and checks, and asks before anything that matters.
Real files, real commands, the web, and a browser beside the chat. It asks before anything that matters.
Plain text under ~/.talos that you can open, edit and delete. A file you can read, never a black box.
A judge on your own model decides what would otherwise ask. Commands can run chained by the OS, so a bad one stays contained.
Helpers that work side by side and share a task list, and workflows that run many agents at once.
Telegram, Discord and Slack, with files and voice notes, even with no window open.
MCP servers over HTTP and OAuth, plugins from git, skills, and Zed or JetBrains over ACP.
Step through it
The same run as the film, at your pace. Pick a step to see what Talos does in it: live tools, a model switch, a hosted page and the terminal.

Talos Cloud Coming soon
In the myth, Talos walked the coast of Crete three times a day. Talos Cloud does the rounds for you: your tasks, bots and apps stay up while you sleep.
Ask in the chat and the task runs on our servers in a container of its own. Close the app or the laptop; the answer waits for you.
Say keep it running and it stays up: a scheduler, a webhook, a watcher. Restarted if it stops, billed by the hour from your credit.
A web app gets its own address, wakes on the first visit and sleeps when nobody is looking.
Watch my shop's stock every hour and email me when anything runs low. Keep it running.
TalosBuilt and tested stock.js: it read your stock and sent a test email. It now runs in Talos Cloud (256 MB). See what it prints, stop or restart it under Cloud.
Comes with Pro. Compute is about $6 per GB a month from your credit, charged by the second. Asleep costs nothing.
How it worksWallet
The Greeks paid the ferryman a single coin. Talos pays its own way the same way: small, exact payments for the APIs and data it needs, inside limits you set.
| Weather API · 120 calls | $0.24 |
| Image model · 3 images | $0.36 |
| Search · 40 queries | $0.40 |
| Domain check | $0.12 |
| Unknown merchant · asked you first | blocked |
Paid per call over x402. Example figures.
A daily cap, a per-call cap and a list of who it may pay. Anything outside that, it asks.
The wallet lives with the agent. Nothing signs without the policy you wrote.
Each payment is logged beside the task that made it, so you can see what a run cost.
Pricing Opens with launch
Bring your own ChatGPT or Claude account and Talos adds nothing. Hosted models follow the live market and are paid from credit, only for what you use.

TALOS // Tokenomics
TALOS is tied to how much Talos is used: half of the margin on hosted models buys it back, and spending it or leaving a stake early burns it, in public.
Talos takes a small margin on hosted-model usage. Half of that margin buys TALOS on the market.
Pay for credit with TALOS and get its full value as credit. A tenth of the TALOS paid goes to the dead address.
Staked TALOS earns 20% a year of its dollar value as Talos credit. The lock is 90 days; leaving early burns 10%.
| Flow | Share | From | Goes to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyback | 50% | Margin on hosted-model usage | TALOS bought on the market |

| Exit burn | 10% | A stake left before 90 days | The dead address, weekly |
| Creator fees | 100% | Ascend creator allocation on every trade | Buyback and burn through the launch pool |
