Introducing Cronacl

Cronacl didn't start as a startup idea. I built it because I was curious about how far you can push agents, tools, workflows, and high-quality output inside a real environment—not a demo.

I wanted a place where I could experiment with models, try different prompting styles, test tool orchestration, and see how much useful work you can squeeze out of modern AI without turning it into a science project.

It grew from there.

How I Ended Up Building It

Most AI work happens in scattered places: chat windows, scripts, docs, dashboards, bookmarks, random tabs.

Every time I wanted to try an idea or build a workflow, I had to stitch everything together manually. It slowed down experimentation and made it harder to see what actually works.

Cronacl became the environment I wished I had earlier—a workspace where:

chat, agents, tools, and documents live side-by-side
ideas can be tested quickly
repeated tasks can be captured instead of recreated
everything is accessible from one conversation

I built it for myself at first. Now it's available publicly.

Chat

Chat is the main surface. You talk to models, use tools, reference docs, and let longer tasks run through task mode.

It's designed for day-to-day work, experiments, and anything that benefits from having your tools and files within reach.

Agents

When I noticed I was repeating certain patterns—summaries, transformations, routine checks—I turned them into small agents.

An agent in Cronacl is just:

a description of what it should do
a set of tools it can use
any docs it needs nearby

Nothing more. It's a way to keep useful workflows around so they don't live and die inside one-off chats.

Tools

Cronacl connects to the usual things: email, drives, databases, project trackers, APIs.

The point isn't to replace these tools—it's to let you use them from chat and agents without hopping across tabs.

If you're experimenting, building small automations, or doing research, it's helpful to keep everything reachable from one place.

Documents

I lift information from PDFs, notes, slides, exported reports—basically whatever I'm working with.

Cronacl lets you upload or import these files so you can ask questions directly or let agents reference them when drafting or analyzing something.

It cuts down on the “where did I save that again?” moments.

Putting the Pieces Together

Each part is straightforward:

chat for interaction
agents for repeatable patterns
tools for actions
documents for context

The benefit comes from having them together. You can move between them without losing the thread.

Pricing

Right now, there's one hosted plan:

Individual — $5/month or $48/year
- Bring your own API keys for models
- Access to chat, agents, tools, and the knowledge base
- Hosted storage for your documents

Pricing stays fixed for early users as long as the subscription stays active.

Open-source and team plans are planned but not available yet.

What's Next

The roadmap is practical:

open-source release
team features for shared agents and docs
more integrations
more flexibility for tool building and task execution

No grand mission—just making the workspace more capable.

Try It

Cronacl was originally built so I could explore what modern AI can actually do in practice, not theory.
If you want a workspace built with that mindset, you can try it and see if it fits your style of working.
