Getting started
Frodo Agent is one chat for every major AI model, below list price. Open the chat and type. Your first 20 messages are free, with no account and no wallet: Frodo Agent pays for them.
| Topic | Without a wallet | With a wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Your first 20 messages are free, paid by Frodo Agent | Your CREDIT balance, charged after each request |
| Models | Every model in the menu except uncensored ones, Private included | Every model in the menu, uncensored ones included |
| Answers | Shorter answers, and no tools | Longer answers |
| What you need | Nothing. Open the page and type | A wallet on Robinhood Chain, with CREDIT activated to it |
| Your chats | Saved in this browser | Saved in this browser |
When your free messages run out, keep going with a wallet:
- Connect a wallet that can add Robinhood Chain (chain 4663).
- Buy CREDIT on the Console's Buy tab, paid in USDG. Activate to my key puts it on your wallet's balance in the same transaction.
- Make your key. Your wallet signs one fixed line. It costs nothing and sends no transaction.
- Chat. Each request is charged to that balance.
Privacy modes
Every message goes one of three ways. Private is the switch on the chat box. Zero retention, a switch at the top of the model menu, limits an open model to providers that say they keep nothing.
| Topic | Private | Zero retention | Open |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it runs | Inside an attested enclave at Phala or NEAR AI | On endpoints whose providers say they keep nothing | On any provider |
| Who reads your message | The model inside the enclave. Frodo Agent and the Orbio gateway pass it on | The gateway passes it on, and the provider reads it to answer | The gateway passes it on. The provider reads it, and may keep or use it under its own terms |
| How you know | The enclave provider's attestation | The provider's word | The provider's terms |
| Models | Open-weight models hosted in enclaves | Any model with a zero-retention route | Every model |
In every mode, Frodo Agent does not store the text of your prompts or the answers: its chat route passes them to the Orbio gateway and keeps nothing. The gateway keeps usage records for each key, the model, token counts, cost and timing, to bill it. The Privacy Policy has the details.
How Private works
- Switch Private on in the chat box. The model menu then lists only models that run inside an attested enclave at Phala or NEAR AI.
- Frodo Agent relays your message through the Orbio gateway without storing it, and the gateway sends it to that provider's enclave.
- The model runs inside the enclave, an isolated area of the processor that the machine's operator cannot read.
- The answer comes back the same way, in one piece rather than word by word.
What makes these models private is the enclave providers' attestation: hardware-backed evidence, published by Phala and NEAR AI, of the code running inside the enclave. Frodo Agent does not seal messages in your browser and does not check that evidence itself, so the guarantee comes from the providers' attestation, not from us.
What stays outside the seal
Private protects your messages and the model's answers inside the enclave. A few things work differently, and it is worth knowing which:
- The trip there. Your message passes through Frodo Agent and the Orbio gateway on its way to the enclave. Neither stores its text.
- Who you are. Your wallet address, your CREDIT purchases and activations, and the gateway's usage records. Purchases and activations are public on Robinhood Chain. Private protects what you say, not who you are.
- Photos. Private models read text only.
- Your browser's copy. A Private chat is saved in this browser like any other, unless you make it temporary.
Where your chats live
Your chats are saved in this browser's local storage. Frodo Agent never receives that copy, so:
- They do not follow you to another browser or device.
- Clearing your browser's data for this site deletes them, and we cannot restore them.
- Deleting a chat is final, because it is the only copy.
Temporary chat
On an empty chat, tick Make temporary on the chat box. The chat is never saved in this browser and is gone when you close or reload the page.
It only changes what this browser keeps. The gateway's usage records stay, and on an open model, so does whatever its provider received. It is separate from Private, which is about who can read your message, so you can use both together.
Choosing a model
Tap the model on the chat box to open the menu. You can search it, and each model shows its price. With Private on, you see only the models that run in enclaves.
The catalogue is live, so it changes as models come and go: -- models right now, -- of them private. All models lists every one with its list price and ours.
Uncensored models answer with fewer content filters, so what they write can be explicit, offensive or wrong. They need a wallet, they are for adults only, and everything in the Terms still applies to them.
For long or careful work, pick a larger model. Very small ones are cheap and fast, and they make more mistakes.
Who runs what
Frodo Agent connects you to independent services, and each works under its own terms. Frodo Agent deploys no contracts of its own: it runs on the Orbio protocol.
| Job | Who |
|---|---|
| This site and its chat route | Frodo Agent, hosted on Vercel |
| Free messages | Frodo Agent, from its own balance |
| Routing, billing and the API | The Orbio gateway |
| Private models | Phala and NEAR AI |
| Every other model | The providers the Orbio gateway routes each model to |
| CREDIT, the book and staking | Orbio protocol contracts on Robinhood Chain (chain 4663) |
| Your wallet and its keys | You. Frodo Agent never holds them |
What the chat can do
Frodo Agent is a conversation with the model you pick: writing, explaining, reviewing code, translating, planning and answering questions. Answers stream in as the model writes them, except on Private models, which answer in one piece.
Each chat starts fresh and only knows what is in it. Free messages never run tools. Nothing is posted, sent or bought in your name: the only thing a message spends is its own cost, from your balance.
AI can make mistakes, so check what matters before you rely on it. You are responsible for how you use what it writes.
Images and video
Making images and video is not part of Frodo Agent today. The Orbio gateway offers media generation to developers as a tool, paid from the same CREDIT balance. Developers has the details.
Media tools are run by independent providers under their own moderation, and they always stay outside the seal.
Files and photos
Use the + button to attach up to four images or text files to a message (images up to 8 MB, text files up to 200 KB), or paste text or a screenshot straight into the box. Files travel with the message to the model, under the same mode as the rest of the chat, and Frodo Agent does not keep them. Saved chats keep text files but only the names of images.
Photos need a model that can see images (the model menu marks them "vision"), and Private models read text only.
Credit and pricing
There is no subscription. You pay for what you use, from one balance, after each request completes.
| Free | Your first 20 messages, paid by Frodo Agent |
| Your balance | CREDIT activated to your wallet. One CREDIT is one dollar of balance |
| Where to buy | The Console's Buy tab, on the Orbio Exchange book, paid in USDG. A wallet with only ETH can swap to USDG there first |
| What a request costs | The model's list price per million tokens, charged after the request completes |
| What that costs you | List price times what a dollar of balance cost you on the book. Right now the book's all-in rate is -- per dollar. |
| Fees | The Console shows the book and activation fees, and the exact balance you get, before you sign |
| Refunds | Activation permanently burns CREDIT into a nontransferable service balance. It is not cash and cannot be turned back into tokens |
CREDIT is sold on the book below its face value of one dollar, so a dollar of balance usually costs less than a dollar. The discount changes with the book. CREDIT you hold but have not activated can be listed back on the book from the Console's Sell tab.
Your key is kept in this browser until you disconnect or clear site data. The balance belongs to your wallet, so signing again, on this device or another, gives the same key and the same balance.
Your account
There is no account to make. Your wallet is your account: no email, no password.
Your wallet signs one fixed line:
Orbio API key · chain 4663 · epoch 0
The signature becomes your key, and CREDIT activated to the wallet is its balance. Signing costs nothing and sends no transaction.
The key is kept in this browser until you disconnect or clear site data. Anyone holding it can spend its balance, so keep it private. The same key works with any OpenAI-compatible client through the Orbio gateway, and Developers explains how.
You must be 18 or older to use Frodo Agent. To leave, disconnect your wallet and clear this site's data. Frodo Agent holds no account for you to delete.
Questions
No question matches that. Try fewer words.
Privacy
Can Frodo Agent read my chats?
Your messages pass through our chat route on their way to the Orbio gateway, and we do not store them or the answers. Your saved chats live only in your browser, and we never receive that copy.
How can I tell a private answer is real?
The privacy of Private models rests on the attestation Phala and NEAR AI publish for their enclaves. Frodo Agent does not check that evidence in your browser, so read the providers' own documentation if you need to verify it.
Does Private make me anonymous?
No. It protects what you say, not who you are. Your wallet address, your onchain purchases and the gateway's usage records stay as they are.
What is the difference between Private and Zero retention?
Private runs the model inside an attested enclave. Zero retention is a promise: the provider still reads your message to answer, and says it keeps nothing.
Do you train on my chats?
We do not store the text of your chats, so we have nothing to train on. On an open model, the provider may keep or use your request under its own terms. Private and Zero retention are how you avoid that.
Are there ads or trackers?
No. Frodo Agent loads no ad or analytics tags.
Can I see my chats on another device?
No. They are saved only in the browser you used.
What if I clear my browser?
Your saved chats are deleted, and we cannot restore them. Your balance is safe, because it belongs to your wallet: sign again to get the same key.
What is the difference between Temporary and Private?
Temporary is about what this browser keeps. Private is about who can read your message. They are separate, and you can use both.
Models
Can I run Claude or GPT privately?
Not in an enclave. Private runs open-weight models. Closed models run on their makers' and partners' servers, so Zero retention is the closest option, where a model has a route for it.
Which models are private?
See Private models on the pricing page. It is the same live list as the chat's menu.
Do you support a particular model?
Search All models. It is the same live catalogue as the chat's menu.
Why does a private answer appear all at once?
Private models answer in one piece rather than word by word, so a long answer can take a while to appear.
Does the chat remember me between chats?
No. Each chat starts fresh and only knows what is in it.
Credit and billing
Is Frodo Agent free?
Your first 20 messages in a browser are, paid by Frodo Agent, on every model except uncensored ones. Free answers are shorter and never run tools. After that, connect a wallet and buy CREDIT.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy CREDIT and pay for what you use.
How am I charged?
After each request completes, at the model's list price, from the CREDIT balance on your wallet's key.
Why is it below list price?
CREDIT trades on the Orbio Exchange book, where sellers list it below its face value of one dollar. You buy it for less than a dollar and spend it as a dollar of balance. The discount changes with the book, and the Console shows today's figure before you sign.
What do I pay with?
USDG on Robinhood Chain. If your wallet holds only ETH, the Console can swap ETH to USDG first.
Can I get a refund?
No. Activation permanently burns CREDIT into a nontransferable service balance, and transactions on Robinhood Chain cannot be reversed. CREDIT you have not activated can be listed back on the book.
Account
Do I need an account?
No. Your first 20 messages need nothing at all, and after that your wallet is your account.
How old do I need to be?
18 or older.
Can I use my balance from code?
Yes. Your key works with any OpenAI-compatible client through the Orbio gateway. Start with Developers.
How do I delete my data?
Your chats are already in your hands: delete them in the chat or clear this site's data. Frodo Agent holds no account for you. Onchain records are public and permanent.
