Quickstart — start here
Start free, give the agent a real first task, connect your terminal, and add credits only when you outgrow the trial.
plori gives you an AI agent running on its own cloud computer. Each agent has a persistent disk, shell access, and network. Start one, give it a real task, connect from your terminal, and add credits only when the free allowance runs out.
1. Start free
Open plori.ai and choose Start free. One click creates a trial agent on its own computer and opens its chat. There is no signup, email, or card before the agent starts.
The plori trial includes 100 credits, 128 MB of disk, and 1 agent kept for 7 days.
2. Give it a first task
Ask for a result that uses the computer and leaves something behind:
Research the latest releases of the project I name, compare the changes, and save a concise report to
work/report.md.
The agent can use its shell and web tools, install what it needs, and save the report on its persistent disk. Open the Files panel to verify the file exists; ask a follow-up in the same chat to see that the work carries forward.
3. Keep it, then use your terminal
Add your email before the seven-day trial expires. The same agent, conversations, and files move into the registered account; the browser asks for a six-digit email code, not a password or card.
Install the CLI and sign in through that same browser flow:
npm i -g @plori/cli
plori login
plori create mate
plori run mate "Create a short project brief and save it to work/brief.md"
plori login opens the email-code page and returns to the terminal when complete. The
CLI guide has the full command list, token location, CI
authentication, and JSON output.
If the terminal you want to connect is Claude Code rather than the plori CLI, add the MCP server; the browser sign-in starts on first use:
claude mcp add --transport http plori https://api.plori.ai/mcp
4. Pay only when you outgrow the free allowance
A registered Free account includes 500 credits per month and a one-time welcome top-up of up to 5,000 credits. You get 2,000 minutes of run time a month and 1 GB of account disk. The plori router picks among fast, cost-efficient models (DeepSeek V4 Flash, GLM 5.2, GPT-5.6 Luna).
plori warns you before the credit balance reaches zero and links to billing. Stay on Free while it fits. When it does not, compare plans: paid plans add more agents, concurrent runs, larger disks, and frontier models including Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.6 Sol, Grok 4.5, Kimi K3. For a temporary spike, add one-time credits without changing plans.
Idle agents sleep and stop billing for compute. Their disk, files, and memory remain, so the next task starts from the state the previous one left behind.
