What Helios is

Helios gives teams AI agents with a cloud computer, connected tools, and shared context for recurring work. Teams can start workflows manually, on a schedule, through signed webhooks, or from events in GitHub, Slack, or Plain. Each chat and workflow run receives a fresh cloud sandbox, and workflow runs stop after 30 minutes. Agents can search a connected service’s indexed API and call its endpoints, while credentials are applied server-side. Listed integrations include GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Notion, Attio, Apollo, Stripe, Resend, Plain, Discord, Reddit, Typeform, Apify, and WarpBuild. Agents can also connect to Postgres, MySQL, and ClickHouse; Helios supports remote MCP servers and can itself act as an MCP server. Agents may propose shared-file changes, but a person must approve each file before it reaches team context. Helios lists support triage, lead follow-up, pull-request review, and routine reports as examples of recurring work. It is a cloud service available on Linux, macOS, web, and API. The Free plan costs nothing and starts with 5,000 credits; Growth is billed as runs happen, and Enterprise pricing is custom.
