An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

Persistent AI Agent for Founders

Persistent AI Agent for Founders

Founders do not need another chatbot that forgets the last conversation. They need work to continue across days: research saved, decisions recorded, follow-ups scheduled, and unfinished tasks resumed. That is the practical meaning of a persistent AI agent.

Persistence is more than memory

A useful system stores structured state: what was found, what was completed, what failed, who owns the next step, and when the workflow should resume. A transcript alone is not enough. The agent needs checkpoints that another run can understand.

A founder workflow

A founder might ask an agent to research ten target companies, qualify them against a defined customer profile, draft personalized notes, and stop before sending. The next run should know which companies were completed, which need more research, and which were disqualified. This prevents duplicate work and makes recurring operations dependable.

When persistence matters

Persistence is valuable for content calendars, weekly pipeline reviews, website audits, competitor monitoring, proposal preparation, and recurring research. It is less important for a one-off brainstorm. Start with a workflow that repeats and has a clear output.

Guardrails

Store facts separately from assumptions. Record source links and timestamps. Make completion criteria explicit. Require approval before external messages, financial actions, or contractual commitments. A persistent agent should be easier to inspect, not harder.

Using Actus

Actus supports workflows that coordinate research, browser work, documents, email drafts, and checkpoints. The best first build is narrow: one trigger, one deliverable, one owner, and one review step. Expand only after the workflow survives real exceptions.

Conclusion

A persistent AI agent is an operating layer for unfinished work. It turns repeated instructions into a process with memory, state, and accountability. Explore practical agent workflows at https://actusagent.cc.
