Patronage. Not a paywall.
The AIgent is free. It stays free. Here's why you'd chip in anyway.
Everything we make is free and open source. The daily, the Tools Vault, aigent-OS: no paywall, no pro tier, no locked archive. That isn't a launch promise, it's the business model. We sell ad slots, not software. And never you.
Sponsors cover the bills. Patronage covers the rest.
Ad slots keep the lights on, and that model works. But some of what we make has no sponsor attached: the days we run no ad, the tools we give away, the research nobody pays for. That's the gap patronage fills.
What support keeps running
Not a paywall. The parts of the operation that stay free because someone chipped in.
If The AIgent earns a spot in your morning, here's the one ask.
One button. It changes nothing about what you get: everything stays free for everyone, and nothing unlocks, because nothing is locked.
Pick how on the next page: a one-time chip-in, or $5 a month. Either one keeps the free work free.

What supporters get
- Our genuine thanks. You're funding work that stays free for people who can't chip in.
- A vote on the roadmap. What we build next, and what we give away next.
What no one gets
- Early access. Everyone gets everything at the same time.
- Supporter-only content. No hidden issues, no private archive.
- A paywall wearing a hat. If it ever gates something, it broke the deal.
And that's the whole pitch
If it's not for you, genuinely: keep reading. It's free either way, and it stays that way.
The daily keeps landing every morning. Read today's issue free, and if you ever change your mind, this page isn't going anywhere.
