Welcome to BotHound
We're building BotHound so you can stop doing the repetitive manual work a bot could handle for you. Here's what that means and why we think it matters.
Welcome to BotHound.
For the past year, the AI world has been stuck in a strange loop. The models got wildly more capable. The demos got better and better. And yet, when most people sat down to actually use AI to get real work done, the shape of the experience hadn’t really changed: a chat window, a blinking cursor, and a human doing all of the coordinating.
BotHound exists to change that.
The work you keep doing by hand
Most of us have a list of things we do by hand every week that feel like they shouldn’t need us. The Monday morning briefing. The weekly report. The competitor check. The lead enrichment. It’s the same shape every time, and yet we keep doing it ourselves.
The gap here isn’t the model. The models are plenty smart. The gap is between “an AI can think about this” and “an AI actually did it and sent me the result.” A model on its own can’t search the live web, send an email, pull data from a source, wait until Monday at 9am, or carry work across multiple steps while you’re asleep. Every useful-looking AI product you’ve seen has been quietly solving these problems, gluing together models, tools, schedules, and state to make something that actually moves.
That glue is the product. So we built it.
What BotHound is
BotHound is a platform for building, scheduling, and running multi-step bots that replace the manual, repetitive work you’re tired of doing yourself.
A bot on BotHound has:
- A sequence of tasks. Each task is a focused step, such as research, summarize, format, deliver, with its own purpose, its own prompt, and its own tools.
- Real tools. Web search, email, data fetchers, and more. Bots don’t just talk; they take action.
- A schedule (or a trigger). Run a bot on demand, or put it on a recurring cadence. The work happens whether you’re watching or not.
- An execution history. Every run produces a complete, auditable trail. You always know what the bot did, at every step.
That’s the whole idea. Break a real job into steps a bot can handle. Give it the tools to do them. Run it on your schedule. Keep receipts.
Simple pricing, free to try
BotHound is purely credit-based. Each active task in your bot costs 50 credits per run (50¢ at a flat rate of one cent per credit). A 1-task bot costs 50¢ per run; a 5-task bot costs $2.50 per run. Cost scales with the work the bot replaces. No subscriptions. No seat fees. No tier gymnastics.
Every new account starts with 1,000 free credits, no credit card required. That’s more than enough to build a few bots, try them on a real workflow, and see whether BotHound earns its keep.
What’s next
This is the first post in what we hope will be a long run of updates, how-to guides, and product notes. We’re heads-down building, and we’re excited to start showing the work.
If you want to follow along, create an account and put your first bot to work. If you want to talk to us, drop a line at contact@bothound.ai.
Thanks for being here at the start.
