Zinn® Agents: one-click AI agents and automation

How to deploy OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Paperclip or the automation builder, what each plan includes, how AI credits are charged, and what to check when an agent is paused.

Zinn® Agents runs an AI agent or an automation builder for you in one click. It runs around the clock on resources your plan guarantees, and its AI is paid from your Zinn® AI credit (or your own AI provider key).

Check first

  • The agent says "Paused"? Read the line under its name. Paused because the plan is unpaid
  • clears on its own as soon as the invoice is paid. Paused by you — press Resume.

  • The agent stopped answering? Open Zinn® AI → Credits. When your AI credit runs out the
  • agent cannot call a model until you top up or add your own key. A monthly spend cap on the agent (Settings) stops it the same way until next month.

  • "Starting" for more than a few minutes? Refresh the page. If it shows Failed, delete it
  • and deploy again — your plan stays yours — or contact support.

The apps

  • OpenClaw (open source, MIT)
  • Hermes Agent (open source, MIT)
  • Paperclip (open source, MIT)
  • Activepieces automation builder (open source, MIT (community edition))

n8n is not offered here: its licence does not allow it to be run for customers as a service. You can install n8n yourself on your own Zinn® Private Cloud server, which needs no licence.

Plans

Each plan runs one agent app.

  • Zinn® Agents Starter — $4.99 for the first month, then $9.99 a month: 1 GB memory, 0.5 vCPU, 5 GB storage, $2.00 of AI credits every month.
  • Zinn® Agents Pro — $9.99 for the first month, then $19.99 a month: 2 GB memory, 1 vCPU, 10 GB storage, $5.00 of AI credits every month.
  • Zinn® Agents Business — $24.99 for the first month, then $49.99 a month: 4 GB memory, 2 vCPU, 25 GB storage, $15.00 of AI credits every month.

The first-month price applies once, to an account that has never had a Zinn® Agents plan. Every renewal is the monthly price.

Free trial: 7 days on the Starter plan with $0.50 of AI credits, no card needed. Press Start free trial - no card on the Zinn® Agents screen.

Deploy an agent

  1. Open Zinn® Agents in the dashboard.
  2. Pick the app, give it a name, and press Deploy.
  3. In about a minute it shows Running. Press Open to use it in a new tab.

AI credits and models

The agent's AI calls are charged from the same Zinn® AI credit balance as every other Zinn® AI feature, and your plan adds its included credit every month. If you have saved your own provider key in Zinn® AI → Keys, that key is used first and we do not charge you for those calls.

The model zinn-default always uses the lowest-cost model that passes our tests. You can name a different model in the agent's Settings, and set a monthly AI spend cap for that agent.

Your data and safety

  • Every agent runs in its own sandbox. It cannot reach other customers' agents, our servers or
  • your other services unless you connect them.

  • Pause keeps everything and stops the agent. Delete destroys its memory, files and
  • settings and cannot be undone.

  • Agents may not send spam, attack other systems or break the law. Abuse pauses the agent.
