What it does

Most AI tools hand you answers. Betel hands you finished work. It runs autonomous AI agents inside Slack and Teams that browse the web, write and run code, and reason over your business data — in secure, sandboxed environments. Mention @Betel and it finds the repetitive workflows hiding in your company, then turns them into durable, scheduled automations your team can trust. Every task runs in isolation (agents never see your keys), and a human approves every decision that matters.

Run AI agents that browse, code, and reason about your data. Securely sandboxed, durably executed.

Start free with 500 credits — no card. Simple usage-based pricing: pay for what your agents actually use. Workspace-based, not per-seat. Credits cover compute + LLM usage (bring your own key to skip LLM charges) and reset monthly. Same features on every plan. Custom credit volume, invoicing & terms, DPA + security review, SLA + priority support, dedicated onboarding. TLS everywhere. Storage encrypted with keys you can rotate. Audit trail streams to your SIEM. GDPR and CCPA honoured. Public, dated sub-processor list. Your data never trains any AI model. Every agent runs in a fresh, isolated workstation. Concurrent runs can't read each other's files. Audit events pre-mapped to NIST CSF, ISO…from betel.gs

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
