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 /apps: Ship web applications from a single prompt
Create, build, deploy, and manage Vercel-backed Next.js applications with dedicated AI engineer agents — preview deployments, production promotion, custom domains, environment variables, and optional Supabase databases, 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, Stripe Checkout, and Doola 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 Footprint-hosted KYC, per published verification docs, and PII handled outside plaintext on Naïve servers.
Introducing /cards: Give your AI agent a bank account and virtual cards
Issue virtual cards to your AI Employees with per-employee spend limits, Column-backed bank accounts, and mandatory 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 full videos from your agent in one call
Produce avatar videos, faceless explainers, and YouTube clips from a single Naïve call. Realistic lip-sync, watermark-ready C2PA provenance, and direct compose with /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. Uses the image models documented for Naive API v2 (e.g. FLUX, Stable Diffusion, Recraft) plus free stock photo search — 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 Vercel zone and Resend email 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. Tavily-backed and ready for agent loops that need real, verifiable facts.
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.
