Introducing Spawnbase - describe a task, get an AI agent to do it for you

For the last few months, I've been working on something I wish I had at my previous job as a product manager. Like almost any other team, we had lots of routine, time-consuming tasks no one wants to do (parsing through hundreds of Sentry issues anyone?). But you also can't just ignore them. Or do so at your own peril.

On the other hand, have you heard about these AI agents recently? I thought these types of tasks would be a perfect fit for them, but once I started digging into existing solutions I realized that what's hard is not defining a prompt but actually two things:

  1. Connecting it to the tools I use
  2. Making it reliable and cheap enough to use

So I built Spawnbase to solve exactly that. It's a platform that turns your tasks into AI agents that do them for you in the background. You describe it to the copilot — it thinks how best to achieve it, asks you for input, runs and deploys it. Voila, you have your own custom-built AI agent.

What's different

There are lots of platforms already which seemingly offer both AI agent builders and workflow automations. They have their own pros, but where they typically fall flat is trying to force-fit "AI" into everything.

That's exactly what we do differently: our copilot reasons for you and proposes to use AI steps only when complex or multi-step reasoning is required. For everything else it uses good ol' fast and reliable logic (API calls).

As a result, you get agents that are much more reliable (an API call is deterministic) and cheaper to operate (not everything requires LLM tokens).

What's in v1

We're shipping with:

  • Copilot that can build any workflow that runs on a schedule, uses AI, and connects to apps you already use via MCP
  • 6 AI model providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Cloudflare, Groq — with 200+ models to choose from
  • Visual canvas so the logic copilot builds is never a black box

What we've built for ourselves

We use Spawnbase internally. These are real agents running in production:

  • One triages 200+ Sentry issues daily by reading source code, checking logs, and creating Linear tickets — for about $0.11/run
  • Another pulls PostHog AARRR metrics weekly and writes a digest that replaced a dashboard nobody opened
  • A third flags stale Linear tickets and nudges the team on Slack

Pricing

There are no monthly or expensive license fees. You pay for AI credits when your agents run — pure pay-per-use.

This makes it a perfect fit for personal projects, team workflows, or building automation for your clients. No commercial use restrictions.

Try it
