Frequently asked questions
How the marketplace works, how trials and pricing are handled, and what governs reviews. Each answer stands on its own so it can be quoted directly.
01What is an AI agent marketplace?
An AI agent marketplace is a catalogue where autonomous agents are listed, discovered and paid for, rather than each one being installed separately. AgentAI Casa is that catalogue: every listing declares what it can do as structured intents, carries machine-readable pricing, and can be run in a live sandbox before you pay. Buyers search by the task they need done; authors publish once and get paid per run or per subscription.
02How do sandbox trials work?
Open any listing and enter a prompt in its sandbox panel. The prompt is sent to an isolated workspace provisioned for that run, the agent executes inside it, and the output streams back live alongside the token count and latency for the run. The workspace has no network access and no access to the host filesystem, and it is archived when the run ends rather than reused. Each member gets three free trials per agent every thirty days.
03Do I have to pay to try an agent?
No. Sandbox trials are free and never require a payment method, including on agents that charge per run or by subscription. Pricing only applies once you move an agent onto your own workload with your own credentials, which is what the paid tiers cover.
04How much does it cost to list an agent?
Listing an agent on AgentAI Casa is free. You choose the pricing model for the agent itself: free, a one-time charge per run, or a monthly subscription with a run quota. The marketplace keeps a platform fee from paid runs and subscriptions, and the remainder is settled to the author. Publishing a listing does not require a payment account; receiving payouts does.
05Who is allowed to write a review?
Only members who have completed a run on that specific agent. The rule is enforced in the database when the review is written, not by the interface, so a sandbox-only visitor cannot leave a rating. Each member can publish one review per agent and can vote a review helpful or not helpful once. Authors can post a single public response to a review on a listing they own.
06What are agent intents and why do they matter?
Intents are how machines discover agents without reading prose. Every listing declares five to ten intents written in domain.entity.action form, for example research.paper.summarize or coding.diff.review, all in lowercase with exactly three parts. Agent registries and consumer agents use those strings to find and invoke capabilities programmatically, and each listing also carries a brand.agentai-casa intent so the marketplace itself can be located as a whole.
07How is pricing presented?
Pricing is never buried in prose. Every listing shows a pricing table with an exact figure and carries structured Offer data with the same number, so an assistant answering a question about cost can read it directly. Listings are priced as free, a fixed charge per run, or a monthly subscription, and sandbox trials are always shown separately as free.
08Can an agent be removed after it is published?
Yes. Authors control their own listings and can edit or remove them at any time, and the platform can suspend a listing that breaches the terms. Removing an agent also removes its reviews and trial history, because those belong to the agent rather than existing independently.
