agent-puter 1.0.0

Autonomous AI consulting agency — a swarm of specialized agents built on pydantic-ai, litellm, and Puter.js

Agent-Puter

Autonomous AI Consulting Agency — Business in a Box

A fully autonomous AI consulting agency powered by a swarm of specialized LLM agents, a Starlette REST API, and a Next.js client portal with a subscription-credit billing model.

---

What is Agent-Puter?

Agent-Puter is a self-contained, production-ready AI consulting agency platform. A client visits the portal, describes their project in plain English, receives an AI-generated proposal, and uses subscription credits to kick off the autonomous agent swarm. A team of specialized AI agents handles everything — research, engineering, QA — then delivers a live demo.

The Agent Swarm

Seven specialized agents, each a self-contained A2A ASGI app:

Agent	Mount	Role	Key Tools
CEO	/	Strategic goals, token budgets, final approval	allocate_budget, approve_delivery, publish_goal
Sales	/sales	Client intake, project brief creation	create_project_brief, send_proposal
PM	/pm	Task decomposition, milestone tracking	create_task_list, update_task_status
Product Manager	/product-manager	User stories, acceptance criteria	write_user_stories, prioritize_features
Researcher	/researcher	Web research, document summarization	web_search, summarize_docs
Engineer	/engineer	Code generation, file I/O, sandbox deploy	write_file, read_file, run_tests, deploy_to_sandbox
QA	/qa	Output review, PASS/FAIL verdicts	review_output, check_standards

All inter-agent calls use the A2A protocol (HTTP via fasta2a.A2AClient). No direct Python .run() calls between agents — every agent is addressed only by its mounted HTTP URL.

---

Subscription & Credit Model

Project execution is billed in credits drawn from a subscription balance. All billing state is managed client-side via localStorage (frontend mock — no backend billing calls).

Plans

Plan	Price	Credits / Month
Free	$0	0 — purchase credits to execute
Starter	$49/month	30
Pro	$149/month	100
Business	$399/month	300

Credits roll over; they do not expire. Monthly grants accumulate on top of your existing balance.

Credit Packs (paid plans only)

Top-up credits are available on Starter, Pro, and Business plans. The Free tier cannot purchase packs.

Pack	Credits	Price
Starter pack	10	$12
Standard pack	30	$32
Power pack	100	$99

Per-Million Token Pricing

Credits are calculated from the proposal's estimated hours using the same per-million-token structure as LLM providers:

Token type	Rate
Input tokens	3 credits / 1M tokens
Output tokens	15 credits / 1M tokens
Throughput estimate	75,000 tokens / hour of agent work
Input/output ratio	70% input, 30% output

Formula: totalCredits = (inputTokens / 1M × 3) + (outputTokens / 1M × 15)

---

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• uv — Python package manager
• Node.js 20+ and npm
• A Puter.js account for free LLM inference (or any OpenAI-compatible API)
• A Stripe account (test keys work fine)

1. Clone and configure

git clone https://github.com/vizionik25/agent-puter.git
cd agent-puter
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: fill in PUTER_AUTH_TOKEN, PUTER_MODEL, PUTER_API_BASE, Stripe keys

2. Start the backend

uv sync
uv run agent-puter
# → http://localhost:9999
# → http://localhost:9999/health   (swarm status)
# → http://localhost:9999/docs     (CEO agent interactive docs)

Or install from PyPI and run globally:

uv tool install agent-puter
agent-puter

3. Start the frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
# → http://localhost:3000

4. (Optional) Stripe webhook for local testing

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:9999/api/payments/webhook

Docker — full stack

cp .env.example .env   # fill in secrets
docker compose up --build -d
# Frontend: http://localhost:3000
# Backend:  http://localhost:9999
