Substructure provides an engine for creating agents that operate in the cloud, allowing integration with Slack and control over workflows from your own systems.
Why it matters
overview
Substructure is an AI agent engine tool developed by Substructure that enables developers, engineers, and teams to build, deploy, and manage cloud-based AI agents. It facilitates easy connection of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Managed Cloud Platform (MCP) servers to streamline processes and integrate with platforms like Slack.
features
Substructure offers a robust set of features designed for the development and deployment of cloud-based AI agents, emphasizing integration, customization, and flexible hosting.
use cases
Substructure is primarily designed for developers, engineers, and teams focused on building and deploying AI agents within cloud environments, particularly those requiring integration with existing communication and workflow systems.
how to use
To begin using Substructure, users can sign up for a 14-day free trial and configure their Large Language Model (LLM) keys. The platform supports both local development via CLI and cloud deployment.
pricing
Substructure operates on a freemium model, offering a 14-day free trial without requiring a credit card. Users are responsible for providing their own Large Language Model (LLM) keys, ensuring consistent billing regardless of LLM usage. Pricing plans are structured based on 'turns' (one message to an agent, covering all its actions to respond) and history retention.
