The questions builders, buyers, and partners actually ask — answered honestly, with links to the source pages where the topic gets fuller treatment.
How the Agent Builder works, who it's for today, and what you actually get out the other end.
No. Squidgy's Agent Builder lets you describe what you want in plain English. Our build agent, Ace, designs and configures the agent for you. You approve, then deploy.
On Squidgy, a working first version typically takes 30–90 minutes of conversation, then a day or two of review and tweaks before going live. Approved early-access builders get a hands-on session with the team to scope the agent.
Not yet. The Agent Builder is invite-only while we work hand-in-hand with the first wave of vertical experts. Apply at /agent-builder — we review every application personally and reply within 5 working days.
It's a versioned bundle of everything an agent needs to do its job: a YAML config (capabilities, tools, integrations), a system prompt (voice, rules, escalation), a knowledge base (your facts and policies), and a workflow (multi-step orchestration). Together they're executable — the agent runs them, doesn't just retrieve from them.
Yes — explicitly, by policy. Skill files (YAML + system prompt), knowledge bases, workflows, and customer data are all exportable on demand. Squidgy is a platform, not a lock-in.
What it costs to build, what it costs to list, and how revenue flows when your agent earns.
Building is free. Listing in the marketplace is free. Squidgy takes a small platform fee on revenue earned — you keep the majority. Specific pricing is announced at launch.
List your agent in the Squidgy Marketplace. Set your own price (subscription, per-use, or hybrid). Every time someone uses your agent, you earn. Squidgy handles payments, hosting, and infrastructure.
It depends on three things: the depth of your niche, the cost of the alternative for your customers, and your distribution. A vertical agent with a clear ROI typically prices £30–£200/month per customer. With 50 customers that's £1.5K–£10K/month recurring.
Subscription wins for predictable recurring revenue. Per-use wins when usage varies wildly. One-time wins for setup fees and templates. Most successful builders run hybrid: a base subscription for access plus per-use for heavy consumption.
How buyers find agents, how sellers list them, and what quality signals you can trust.
Look for three signals: number of active customers, customer ratings, and eval pass rates published by the platform. On Squidgy, all three are required for a Certified or Verified listing. Marketplace agents emit Product schema with rating + review count so search engines surface the same signals.
Yes — to a point. You typically get configuration options (your knowledge base, your brand voice, your business rules) without being able to rewrite the agent's underlying logic. If you need deep customisation, building from scratch is usually better than buying.
On Squidgy, yes — once you're an approved builder. You set the price, we handle billing and infrastructure, you keep the majority of revenue.
Certified = Squidgy-tested with eval pass rate ≥80%. Verified = real-customer-attested with documented usage. Community = published but not yet validated. Buyers see the tier upfront.
The co-build path for experts who want a vertical agent suite or a full white-label vertical brand.
Squidgy Ventures is a co-build programme for domain experts who want to launch something more ambitious than a single agent. Two tiers: Vertical Build (~8-week multi-agent vertical solution) and Vertical Spinoff (full white-label brand co-founded with you, with an equity stake). Three Vertical Spinoffs are already live: Fanatiq (with Pete), Handled (with Max), YEAA (with Carl).
Agent Builder ships one agent — solo builder, marketplace listing, you keep majority of revenue. Squidgy Ventures ships a vertical agent suite or a full vertical brand — different category of output, more ambitious in scope, with a different commercial structure (revenue share or equity stake depending on tier).
Depends on the tier. Vertical Build (~8 weeks) is doable part-time alongside a job. Vertical Spinoff (full white-label brand) usually means a meaningful time commitment because you're co-founding — Pete, Max, and Carl all lead their brand's GTM as primary focus.
Prometheus is a productized partnership with revenue share (70/30 by deal source) and a $75K minimum guarantee — TheAgentic operates the product. Squidgy Ventures is equity-aligned: at the Vertical Spinoff tier, the expert co-founds a brand under their own name with a real equity stake.
Where agents run, what they can connect to, and how they reach your customers.
Web embed (one script tag on any site), Slack, Microsoft Teams, Roam, voice channels, plus white-label vertical apps and the marketplace. Same agent, multiple channels, no rebuild per surface.
Yes. Squidgy agents can connect to any MCP-compatible tool, and Squidgy agents can be exposed as MCP servers themselves so any MCP-aware client (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, etc.) can use them.
On Squidgy, agents are coordinated by an orchestrator (Pia, our router agent). Agents hand off conversations to each other, share state, and follow shared workflows. Knowledge bases are scoped per agent or shared across the team. Every handoff is recorded.
Yes. Drop in URLs, PDFs, Notion docs, CSV exports — Squidgy indexes them and the agent uses them at answer time, with citations. Update the knowledge base any time and the agent uses the new content immediately.
Where data lives, what we keep, and what your customers can control.
On Squidgy's managed infrastructure, in your tenant. Memory is per-agent and per-user with explicit isolation between users — cross-user data exposure is a serious failure mode the platform prevents by design.
Yes. End users can clear their own conversation history if you expose that control to them. You can also clear data per-user, per-session, or in bulk by retention policy.
By default, no — what an agent learns from one user stays with that user. Cross-user shared learning is an explicit opt-in, never automatic.
Standard GDPR posture is supported — data export, deletion on request, retention policies. For EU/UK enterprise deployments needing custom DPA terms, talk to us.
Who we are, what we make, and how we're different from squidgy.io.
No. We're squidgy.ai — the AI agent builder + marketplace described on this site. squidgy.io is a separate, unrelated company building ChatGPT-powered AI sales agents. Different team, product, and domain.
Non-technical founders, coaches, consultants, creators, influencers, vertical-niche operators, and agency owners. If you have expertise or an audience in a specific area, you can build an agent that serves them.
OpenClaw is a developer toolkit — powerful, but it assumes you can code, run a server, and figure out distribution and monetization yourself. Squidgy is the opposite: no code, hosted, with a built-in marketplace and revenue model.
