Monetization

Ambient Handoff is free and open source, and the CLI will always stay that way — local, no auth, no API keys. Monetization is layered on top via optional hosted services that some teams will want, never required to use the core tool.

Principle

The free CLI is the wedge. It earns trust by being genuinely useful with zero lock-in. Paid layers exist only where a hosted service does something the local CLI fundamentally cannot (cross-session history, team visibility, notifications).

Tiers

Free — the CLI (now)

  • npx ambient-handoff and all flags.
  • Local handoff docs in your repo.
  • No account, no network, no limits.

Pro — hosted dashboard (planned)

  • Multi-agent handoff history across sessions and machines.
  • Searchable timeline of what each agent did and why.
  • One-click "resume" prompts.
  • Join the Pro dashboard waitlist (placeholder — link TBD).

Team (planned)

  • Shared team handoff history.
  • Per-repo and per-agent activity views.
  • Slack / Discord handoff notifications when an agent stops or a build breaks.

GitHub App (planned)

  • Automatic handoff capture at session boundaries.
  • Handoff docs committed or posted as PR comments automatically.

Support the project

  • 💛 GitHub Sponsors: GitHub Sponsors link pending.
  • 🚀 Pro dashboard waitlist: Pro waitlist pending.

Waitlist

Placeholder. No hosted service exists yet, and none will be added without explicit approval. When the dashboard is ready, a signup link goes here.

What we will not do

  • No paywalling the core CLI.
  • No requiring accounts, API keys, or network access to generate a handoff.
  • No automating consumer AI accounts.
  • No selling user code or repo contents.
