Salts is different.
An AI chatbot can only answer questions. Salts can do much more...
Most AI apps you might know are chatbots. You open them, ask a question, read the answer and close them. Your Salts agent can do a lot more than that. It can take actions for you in other apps, it keeps running when you are not around, and you decide exactly how it behaves and how much it spends.

It does things for you
A chatbot can tell you how to do something. Your agent can do it for you. From the Capabilities page you can let your agent:
- Search the web, so its answers are up to date.
- Read the links, files, photos and voice notes you send it.
- Remember what you tell it, across all your conversations.
- Remind you of something, or run a task at a time you choose.
- Create images and reply with voice notes.
Your agent can also be connected to apps you already use, such as Gmail, Notion and GitHub. Once connected, you can ask it to add something to your Notion reading list from Telegram, or to open a GitHub issue from a voice note. These connections are called MCP servers, and you can add them from the Capabilities page.
It does not need your device
Your agent runs online, not on your phone or laptop. You do not need to install anything or keep anything open. A reminder you set for next Tuesday will still arrive on Tuesday, even if your laptop has been closed all week.
You can talk to your agent from wherever is most convenient: your browser at your desk, or Telegram and WhatsApp on your phone. Every conversation also shows up in your browser, wherever it started.
You are in control
Your agent uses your own OpenRouter API key, so you pay the model's price directly and only for what your agent actually uses. A quiet week costs almost nothing, and an agent you do not use costs nothing at all. Every reply shows what it cost, and you can set a spending limit on your key so there are never any surprises.
You also decide how your agent behaves. You can pick the model it uses, give it custom instructions on how to answer, switch on only the capabilities you want, and choose who it is allowed to talk to. To learn more, read Choose the right model.
