The Same Craft,
Infrastructure Handled

Last updated

If your team already builds with Claude Code, you already know how to build on Ai1. Same open skill format, no proprietary DSL, and the servers, scheduling, deployment, and credential store are handled for you. Bring what you have, or take what we build.

Key takeaways
  • Ai1 skills use the same open SKILL.md format as Claude Code and Codex, with no proprietary DSL to learn.
  • Servers, scheduling, deployment and the credential store are handled for you.
  • To bring existing Claude Code or Claude Cowork agents, zip the project folder and hand it to your Ai1 agent. It imports everything.
  • Ai1 is MCP-native: mount MCP servers and reach your company knowledge from Claude Code, Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client.
  • Bring your own models and tokens, and pay providers directly with no markup.

What is an Ai1 skill?

A skill is a plain markdown file with a little structure: a name, a description, and the instructions an agent reads and follows. It's the same format as Claude Code and Codex. There's no proprietary domain-specific language to learn, so your team is productive on day one.

  • Author in plain markdown, version it like code.
  • Reference scripts by path for anything that needs real execution.
  • Compose skills into recipes, repeatable procedures with QA built in.

Can I bring my existing agents to Ai1?

Bring your existing agents

Have your current Claude Code or Claude Cowork agents export their skill files and related docs, zip the project folder, and hand it to your Ai1 agent. It imports everything automatically. Nothing to rewrite.

Build your own

Author new skills, compose them into recipes, and stand up new specialist agents, all under governance and human approval. The platform can grow its own capability surface, safely.

Does Ai1 work with MCP?

Mount Model Context Protocol servers for live tool access, and query your own organization's knowledge from the tools you already use. The brain isn't a walled garden. It's a standards-based layer you can reach from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client.

Not a Sandbox

Agents run on real infrastructure with scheduling, deployment, and a logged credential store. They do actual work on a schedule and on demand, not a toy demo that forgets everything when the tab closes.

An expansive real production environment of infrastructure, room to run at scale.

Which AI models can I use with Ai1?

Connect the providers you already pay for. You pay them directly, with no markup and no lock to a single vendor. Mix and match by task.

Language models

Claude, plus OpenAI through its CLI and Codex, and Cursor. Route work to the right model for the job.

Images and video

Gemini for image and video generation, wired into your content workflows.

Voice and phone

ElevenLabs for voice agents and Twilio for real phone numbers.

No markup. You connect your own tokens and pay your provider directly. We don't sit in the middle of your model bill.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to learn a new language to build on Ai1?
No. A skill is a plain markdown file with a name, a description and the instructions an agent follows: the same format as Claude Code and Codex. There's no proprietary domain-specific language to learn.
Can I import my existing Claude Code agents?
Yes. Have your current Claude Code or Claude Cowork agents export their skill files and related docs, zip the project folder and hand it to your Ai1 agent. It imports everything automatically.
Which AI models can I use?
Claude, plus OpenAI through its CLI and Codex, and Cursor for language models; Gemini for images and video; ElevenLabs for voice agents and Twilio for phone numbers. You connect your own accounts and pay them directly.
Do you mark up AI token costs?
No. You pay your own AI provider tokens, typically $200-$300 a month. We don't mark up or resell tokens.
Which Ai1 plans are for technical teams?
The developer plans. Developer Core is $500 a month with a $2,500 one-time setup, and Developer Pro is $2,500 a month with a $3,500 one-time setup. Both include up to four training sessions.
