The runtime for AI-run businesses.
Agent primitives, autonomous companies, and the infrastructure that lets AI agents do real work — incorporate, bank, ship, sell. Updates and deep-dives from the Naïve team.
Introducing /compute: Run Docker containers, workers & cron jobs from one call
Spin up agent-owned Docker workloads on managed cloud compute — long-running services with public URLs, run-to-completion batch jobs, and scheduled (cron-for-code) jobs — metered by the second, isolated per tenant, with an interactive shell. No AWS account, no cluster, no DevOps.
Introducing /queue: Durable work queues for agent pipelines
Durable message queues for your agents — managed Amazon SQS (standard & FIFO, with dead-letter queues) for producer/consumer fan-out, buffering, and retries. The natural pairing for compute workers. No AWS account, one bearer token.
Introducing /trading: let your AI agent trade stocks, options & crypto
Link a user's brokerage account via OAuth and trade stocks, options, and crypto through one Naïve key — account, positions, orders, and market data, with money-moving actions human-approval-gated by default. Naïve is the governed gateway; the connected brokerage is the broker.
Launching the Naïve Developer Platform: existence infrastructure for AI agents
The Naïve Developer Platform turns every Naïve primitive into a multi-tenant building block for your own products. 38 primitives across 8 groups, four surfaces (SDK, CLI, MCP, REST), per-customer isolation, governance, and metered billing — so you can give every AI agent a real existence.
Getting started with the Naïve SDK: one TypeScript client for all of agent infrastructure
The new @usenaive-sdk/node is a single, Stripe-style TypeScript client for every Naïve primitive — email, cards, apps, LLM, vault, and more — with first-class multi-tenancy and a drop-in agent toolset. A getting-started guide.
Introducing the governance layer: approvals, logs, sessions, and jobs
Human-in-the-loop approvals that freeze sensitive actions until you say yes, a per-user audit trail of everything an agent did, short-lived scoped MCP sessions, and unified async job tracking — the controls that make an autonomous fleet safe to run.
Introducing /billing: meter and monetize your own agent users
Define plans that map to an Account Kit, a Stripe price, and usage quotas — then reflect each customer's subscription and read their metered usage. The monetization layer for building a multi-tenant product on Naïve.
Introducing market intelligence: app stores, marketplaces, and review data
App Store and Google Play rankings, Amazon and Google Shopping product data, and Google Business, Trustpilot, and TripAdvisor reviews — structured competitive and market intelligence your agent can query through one key.
Naïve Engineering Lessons: How We Burned $450K in One Month
We gave every free signup its own always-on machine and $10 of model credits. At launch traffic, that became a $450K month.
Introducing /seo and /aeo: rank in Google and show up in AI answers
Keyword volume, backlinks, SERP competitors, and ranked-keyword data for classic search — plus AEO/GEO visibility into whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity actually mention you. The full visibility stack behind one key.
Introducing /clips and /media: turn long video into shorts and manage every asset
Clip long-form video into captioned, ready-to-post shorts in one call, and keep every generated or uploaded asset in a managed media library — the production layer for an autonomous content business.
Introducing /llm: 300+ models behind one key, billed in credits
OpenAI-compatible chat completions across 300+ models with provider routing and fallbacks — streaming included, no per-provider keys, billed in Naïve credits at the exact upstream cost. Plus a drop-in OpenRouter proxy so your existing code just changes a base URL.
Introducing the backend stack: Postgres, storage, auth, and edge functions for agent-built apps
Every fullstack app your agent ships gets a managed Postgres database, file storage, end-user auth, and edge functions — driven through one API key, with no Supabase dashboard and no service-role secrets ever leaving the runtime.
How to Build a Faceless Clipping Channel Business in 2026
Step-by-step guide to starting a faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels clipping channel — from niche selection and AI-powered video clipping to automated publishing, monetization, and scaling to multiple channels. No filming, no editing, no on-camera presence required.
What Is an Autonomous Company? A Founder's Guide
An autonomous company is a real legal entity run by AI employees instead of humans. Here's what one looks like, what it can actually do today, and how a non-technical founder can start one.
Introducing /apps: Ship web applications from a single prompt
Create, build, deploy, and manage managed Next.js applications with dedicated AI engineer agents — preview deployments, production promotion, custom domains, environment variables, and with an optional managed database, all from the CLI or API.
Introducing /orchestration: Turn your AI agent into an autonomous company
AI workforce orchestration with a CEO agent, kanban task board, strategic objectives, cron scheduling, and persistent memory — so your agent can plan, delegate, and execute multi-step workflows without manual supervision.
Launching the Naïve Studio: Run an autonomous company from a single chat
Naïve Studio is a complete platform for running autonomous AI companies — a CEO agent powered by Hermes, a kanban task board, AI employees, 18+ business primitives, a hosted MCP server, and an agent-native CLI. No Paperclip, no wrappers, no vendor lock-in.
Naïve removes Paperclip: Our v2 switch to Hermes
Naïve Studio v2 swaps Paperclip for Hermes as the default orchestration framework. Hermes ships a durable multi-agent kanban, named agent profiles, persistent memory, and a stronger built-in runtime. Here's the honest comparison — and why our focus has always been the primitives layer, not the runtime.
Introducing /formation: Company formation for AI agents
Form a US LLC from your AI agent via KYC, hosted checkout, and end-to-end LLC filing. Registered agent, state filing, and EIN application are included in the published formation fee; the Company becomes the substrate for cards, domains, and email.
Introducing /kyc: Pass identity verification when your customer is an agent
Verify the identity of an Employee — the principal behind every autonomous business — with hosted KYC, per published verification docs, and PII handled outside plaintext on Naïve servers.
Introducing /cards: Give your AI agent virtual cards
Issue virtual cards to your AI Employees with per-employee spend limits, managed virtual cards card rails, prepaid gift cards payouts, and structured transaction logging — so agents can actually buy things and you can prove every charge.
Introducing /email: Send and receive email from any AI agent
Provision a real email address for every AI Employee with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configured automatically. Send, receive, schedule, and triage — with deliverability built for agent-volume sending.
Introducing /social: Provision and post to social accounts from your agent
Cross-post to the social platforms exposed in the published Naive docs (10 in the MCP connect enum). Provision connected accounts, post natively, fetch analytics, and manage comments — through documented OAuth and posting flows.
Introducing /video: Generate video from your agent in one call
Produce text-to-video and image-to-video output from a single Naïve call, routed through Naïve's model catalog models (Kling, Minimax, Wan, and more) — composed with /image, /social, and /brand.
Introducing /image: Generate logos, brand assets, and marketing imagery on demand
Generate logos, brand assets, and marketing imagery from any AI Employee. FLUX and Recraft models, plus additional models from the live catalog (see docs) — composed with /brand for consistent prompts.
Introducing /browser: Let your agent operate any website like a human
Spin up a managed Chrome session with stored credentials, watch the browser as it runs, and let your AI agent operate any website — including the legacy SaaS your APIs can't reach.
Introducing /domain: Buy domains and configure DNS programmatically
Connect, verify, purchase, and manage domains for a Company — including DNS on the live zone and email-provider records — per the published Domain Management guide.
Introducing /credentials: Secure credential storage, scoping, and rotation for AI agents
Encrypted credential vault for AI agents — per-Employee scoping, automatic rotation, and audit logs on every access. The credential layer for the Company → Employee → Primitive runtime.
Introducing /research: Multi-step web research with citations for AI agents
Three depths of web research — single-page extraction, multi-source web search, and full multi-step deep research with cited synthesis. Backed by Naïve's search providers and ready for agent loops that need real, verifiable facts.
Introducing /integrations: Connect your agent to any SaaS
Connect AI Employees to 100+ SaaS tools and CMS platforms — Slack, GitHub, HubSpot, Webflow, Ghost, Shopify, and more — through one primitive surface, with auth handled and tools discoverable at runtime.
Naive vs Paperclip: Naive is Not Paperclip
Our approach to attribution, open source, and the infrastructure we're building. Naïve attributes Paperclip in §7.4 of the Terms of Service; the rest of the platform — primitives, runtime, templates — is original work built on top of an MIT-licensed foundation.
