Where an agent works and how it is paid: Runs on and For new agents

Every agent works in one place and is paid one way, shown in its Agent settings (the panel beside an agent's chat) › Runs on: On this Mac (through your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, in Agently for Mac) or Agently cloud (paid with Agently credits or Your API key). Its work always happens there and never moves by itself. A hired agent's place is changed in Runs on in the Mac app; on the web it shows the place without changing it. Jarvis's place is changed the same way, or in the Mac app with Model for this thread (the model button in the message box of a chat) › Where it works (This Mac or Cloud), from his next message. Settings (foot of the rail) › Models › For new agents (owners and admins) sets where an agent you hire starts: Agently picks, or a place such as "In Agently’s cloud · your API key"; you can still pick another place while hiring, and agents you already have keep theirs. Which places and ways to pay you can pick depends on your plan; a place your plan leaves out shows "Not included in this plan". Settings (foot of the rail) › Models › When your plans run out sets what an agent on your Mac does when your Claude or ChatGPT plan runs out: Ask me each time, Keep going on credits or Use the workspace’s API key.
