Naïve

What separates Naïve from the crowded agent-framework field is that the governance layer is the product, not a feature bolted onto it. In naive.config.ts you declare agents, delegation, a perAgentDay and perTask budget, and a policy map where each tool is allow, ask, or deny — the page's own example sets "social.post": "ask" and "payments.send": "deny". The vendor states plainly that no agent can edit the file that binds it, which is what makes the budget a budget rather than a suggestion an agent can talk its way past. Identity is the second differentiator. Rather than one shared team credential, each agent is issued a registered AGT ID, a verified email, a verified phone, a domain with DNS, and a scoped set of linked third-party accounts — a producer gets video tooling, not the payments credential. The /phone primitive was updated in August 2026 to add a sole-proprietor tier: carrier-registered US numbers with KYC and SMS OTP without an LLC or EIN, which removes a real barrier for solo operators. On cost, the docs are unusually specific. A session's computer is 1 vCPU / 1 GiB, so a full running hour is $0.0504 + $0.0162 = $0.0666, and a computer paused costs $0 with no creation fee and the boot disk inside the allowance. Web search is $0.002158 per call and web fetch $0.001079 per call, booked from what the provider charged, and a fetch refused by domain policy is stopped before the request and costs nothing. Model inference is metered per token across five disjoint tiers (input, cached reads, cache writes, output, reasoning), and you choose a completion window per request — immediate, priority, or loose — with the vendor advising you pay the interactive tariff only when a person is waiting and run overnight work on loose for materially less. Vetta, launched 17 August 2026 as Naïve's managed agent for long-horizon work, is positioned on cost per finished task; the vendor claims 2.7x cheaper task completion than the next-best harness on the same model and tasks. Sessions get an isolated Linux micro-VM (8 August 2026 announcement) with shell, filesystem, and optional browser that pauses between turns. The docs list what is available now: agents, sessions, the durable runtime, completion windows, budgets, the computer, skills, files, cron, webhooks, real-USD billing, identity (personas, domains, email, SMS, connections, the vault), web search and fetch, image and video generation, a Messages-format model proxy, observability, structured outputs, audit logs, and teams with a version-pinned roster and shared board. Where it doesn't fit: the entry fee is a committed configuration file and CLI, so there is no no-code path. The vendor does not offer on-premise or private-cloud deployment out of the box. Long-horizon budgets assume you are willing to trade completion speed for lower inference cost — the loose completion window is cheaper precisely because it is slower. And because the config is authoritative, a mistyped policy that denies an action
