What AI models does the agent use?

The agent has access to Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and other top models. It automatically routes to the best model for each task — you never have to think about API keys or token limits.

Yes. Each agent runs in an isolated environment. We don't train on your data, and you can export or delete everything at any time. The underlying engine (GoGogot) is open-source, so you can audit exactly how it works.

What can the agent actually do?

Browse the web, process files (CSV, PDF, images), run scheduled tasks, remember context across sessions, and communicate via Telegram or Slack. Think of it as a capable junior employee, not a chatbot.

How does memory work?

The agent maintains persistent memory across sessions. It remembers your preferences, past conversations, and task context. You can also explicitly tell it to remember or forget things.

Can I self-host the agent?

Absolutely. GoGogot is 100% open-source. Run it on your own hardware for free. cowork.ink is the managed version — we handle servers, model costs, updates, and uptime so you don't have to.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. Spin up an agent, give it real tasks, and if it doesn't save you time, we'll refund you — no questions asked.
