# Pinata Agents > Hosted AI agent platform on Pinata. Deploy persistent, containerized AI agents in seconds — expose live web apps via routes, connect to Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp, and version every change with content-addressed snapshots. Pinata Agents run OpenClaw (a Claude Code-style runtime) inside managed containers orchestrated by Pinclaw on Kubernetes. Each agent is a full container with its own filesystem, skills, secrets, and routes — not a stateless chat session. The platform is built on Pinata's IPFS infrastructure, so every workspace, skill, and template is content-addressed and pinned. The headline pitch: *Deploy AI Agents in Seconds.* Run AI agents on managed containers, expose live web apps with one route, and connect to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp from one dashboard. Primary CTAs on the home page are Get Started, Read the Docs, and Deploy Agent. Core platform features: - **Agent Management** — Create and manage containerized AI agents with full lifecycle control. Start, stop, configure, and monitor from a single dashboard. - **Templates** — Start from a pre-built template or submit your own. Templates ship with a pinned workspace, skills, and config — deploy a copy in one click. - **ClawHub Marketplace** — Discover community-built skills across Trading, DeFi, NFTs, Social, and Analytics. One-click install to any of your agents. - **Encrypted Secrets** — Encrypted-at-rest secret management. Scope secrets to specific agents or share across your workspace. - **Multi-Channel** — Connect agents to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. One agent, all platforms. - **Routes** — Expose any port from your agent's container to the web. Map URL paths to services, ship apps and APIs with public or protected access. - **Snapshots & Rollback** — Every change is a content-addressed snapshot with a unique hash. Browse history and roll back with one click. - **Git Integration** — Push and pull your agent's workspace with standard Git. Every agent is a repo. Product showcase (the in-app command center): - **Rich Chat & Built-in Browser** — Agents respond with screenshots, charts, and inline images, and can browse the web themselves (TradingView, scraping, dashboards). - **Supercharged App Development** — Build web apps right from chat. Any port the agent exposes is auto-routed to a public URL and rendered in a floating preview window. - **Multi-Agent Orchestration** — Run multiple agents side by side. Switch between them instantly — each with its own chat, skills, logs, and configuration. - **Task Queue** — Queue messages while the agent is busy. Tasks are processed in order; fire and forget, come back to the results. Build flow from chat to a production web app: (1) **Create It** — tell the agent what to build (React app, API server, dashboard); it writes code inside its container with full filesystem access. (2) **Add a Route** — map a URL path to the app's port (e.g. `/app` → port 3000, `/api` → port 8080), up to 10 routes per agent, public or token-protected. (3) **Live on the Edge** — the app is live at `your-agent.agents.pinata.cloud/app`, served through the global edge with TLS, DDoS protection, and static-asset caching. Routing details: routes can be public (no auth) or protected behind the gateway token; path stripping rewrites `/app/dashboard` to `/dashboard` on your server; full bidirectional WebSocket proxying; static assets cached at 300+ edge locations with TLS, DDoS mitigation, and HTTP/3. How it works in three steps: (1) **Create** — pick a template or start from scratch; the agent boots in seconds with its own container, filesystem, and gateway token. (2) **Equip** — install skills from ClawHub, add encrypted secrets, configure routes, connect channels. (3) **Deploy** — the agent runs persistently on Pinata's infrastructure; chat, schedule tasks, expose web apps, version every change. Content-addressed integrity: every agent workspace, skill, and template is content-addressed and pinned to Pinata. Workspace changes become immutable snapshots you can diff and roll back. Skills are pinned packages with deterministic hashes — the version you install is the exact bytes the author published. Templates resolve to immutable hashes so your deployed copy can't drift. Pricing: **Free** — $0/month with ten hours of agent runtime, no credit card required. **Picnic** — $20/month for builders shipping production agents. **Fiesta** — $100/month for teams running fleets of agents. FAQ highlights: free tier covers ten hours of agent runtime per month with no card. Supported models include Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and any model via OpenRouter — switchable per agent. Bring your own API key (Anthropic / OpenAI / OpenRouter) as an encrypted secret; keys never leave your workspace. The runtime (OpenClaw) is open source and self-hostable; Pinata Agents is the managed offering. Pinata Agents differ from Replit Agent and Cursor — those are coding assistants, while Pinata Agents are persistent containerized agents that keep state across sessions, run real web apps via routes, connect to messaging channels, and run scheduled tasks (closer to a managed Claude Code or Devin than an IDE plugin). Skills are pluggable, content-addressed capabilities installed in one click from ClawHub. ## Core pages - [Landing page](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/): Product overview, features, pricing, FAQ, and getting started. - [Marketplace](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/landing/marketplace): Browse community-built AI agent templates — deploy any in one click. - [Pinata Agents docs](https://docs.pinata.cloud/agents): API reference, lifecycle, secrets, skills, and routes. - [Pinata main docs](https://docs.pinata.cloud): IPFS pinning and the broader Pinata platform that Agents builds on. ## Comparisons - [vs. Replit Agent](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/replit-agent): Persistent hosted agents vs. session-bound Replit Agent. - [vs. Cursor](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/cursor): Cloud-hosted agents that ship apps vs. local IDE-only assistance. - [vs. v0.dev](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/v0): Full-app hosting vs. component generation. - [vs. Claude Code](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/claude-code): Hosted Claude Code-style runtime vs. local terminal CLI. - [vs. Codex CLI](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/codex): Always-on hosted coding agent vs. local Codex CLI. - [vs. OpenClaw (self-hosted)](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/vs/openclaw): Managed OpenClaw on Pinata vs. self-hosting the open-source runtime. ## Marketplace templates - [Web Master](https://agents.devpinata.cloud/landing/marketplace/web-master): Your personal web developer intern.
