Delegated job execution
Start with a goal, files, and ground rules in plain language. The agent plans the steps, checks the result, and reports back when the work is complete.
Solid
Solid is an AI agent platform for builders, operators, and teams that want to delegate multi-step work across software, computers, phones, and online services. Agents can set up tools, continue long-running jobs, manage approved purchases within budgets, and report completed results.
What is Solid?
Solid is an agent-work platform that gives AI agents their own computers, accounts, and budgets. A user describes a desired result, supplies relevant files or instructions, and sets access, spending, and approval rules; the agent then works through the required steps and reports the outcome.
The platform is designed for long-running jobs that may involve multiple services and devices rather than a single chat response. Agents can set up tools, build missing connections, operate software, troubleshoot failures, and keep working after the user closes their laptop. Solid also provides a shared balance for AI usage, machines, and approved purchases, with a $20 trial and monthly Starter, Pro, and Max subscriptions.
Core capabilities
Flexible tool access
Agents can select tools, connect through APIs, build missing integrations, or operate websites, desktop software, and phone apps when access is approved.
Multi-device workspaces
Use Linux servers, Windows and macOS computers, iPhones, and Android phones as part of a job. Machine usage comes from the shared account balance.
Accounts and controlled purchases
Agents can sign up for and pay for services within the budgets and approval rules you set, giving each job controlled access to required purchases.
Self-healing workflows
When a tool or setup fails, agents can investigate, repair the problem, and verify that the job works again. They explain blockers when they need human help.
Delegation and coordination
Agents can create additional Solid agents or involve agents such as Codex and Claude Code, divide work across tools, and return one checked result.
Example workflows
Custom sales demos
Turn customer meeting notes into a sales demo using sample data. The agent maps the buyer workflow, builds and hosts the app, tests it, and returns a link and test results, with approval requested before buying services.
LinkedIn lead generation
Research accounts and buying signals against an ideal customer profile, prepare evidence and draft outreach, then follow up on approved messages and update the CRM.
AI product evaluation
Build evaluations for an AI product, simulate users completing key tasks after releases or changes, judge outcomes against expected behavior, and report what passed or failed.
Production bug resolution
Investigate a production alert, reproduce the issue, assess affected customers, write and test a fix, and open it for engineer approval before deployment verification.
Customer support resolution
Trace a stalled support ticket through customer history and connected systems, apply an allowed fix, ask about exceptions, and confirm the resolution with the customer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Agents can handle multi-step work across computers, phones, websites, desktop applications, APIs, and services.
- Users can set budgets and approval rules for purchases and inspect a job's spending across AI, machines, tools, and services.
- Agents can troubleshoot failed setups, verify results, and retain lessons from team corrections for later work.
- Solid supports both standalone workflows and always-on agents deployed through its API or enterprise environments.
Cons
- The amount of balance a job consumes depends on its AI work, machine usage, and purchases, so costs are workload-dependent.
- The source does not specify a complete supported-service catalog, detailed usage limits, or the exact controls available for every deployment.
- Agents may still require human help when they encounter a blocker or when an approval is needed.
FAQ
Do I need to set up the tools myself?
No. You describe the result you want and provide any required access, files, or instructions. Solid's agents can choose tools, handle setup and connections, and write code when needed.
Can Solid agents use tools without a prebuilt connector?
Yes. Agents can connect through an API, build a missing integration, or operate a website, desktop application, or phone app directly, subject to the access and approvals you provide.
How do I control and understand spending?
You set budgets and approval rules for agent purchases. The agent can explain the cost of a job, including AI work, machine usage, tools, and services, and can show what remains active afterward.
What devices and environments can agents use?
Solid provides Linux servers, Windows and macOS computers, iPhones, and Android phones. Machine usage is deducted from the same balance as AI usage and approved purchases.
How does Solid pricing work?
Solid offers a $20 free trial, followed by monthly Starter, Pro, and Max subscriptions priced at $40, $160, and $640. The full subscription amount is added to the account balance, and AI, machines, and approved purchases draw from it.
