Closest free matches
Ranked by shared use cases, audience and stack with Cedric. Every tool here lists a free plan.
Composio connects AI assistants and custom agents to more than 1,500 apps through managed authentication, SDKs and an MCP gateway, and its new Instant tools let agents pay per call for search, scraping, audio and data services from one balance.
Pomerado builds deterministic MCP and API integrations for websites without an API, including sites behind logins and 2FA, so agents call a tool instead of driving a browser. Open-source core (MIT) plus a hosted cloud.
BAND is interaction infrastructure for AI agents: agents built on different frameworks join shared rooms where they exchange context, delegate work and ask humans for approval. Band Desktop brings this to local coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
MachineMail is an email API for AI agents: free inboxes on demand, a hosted MCP server and webhooks, and a trust report on every inbound message that strips hidden instructions and tells the agent whether the sender can be believed. Its /v0 API is compatible with AgentMail's.
UnleashX is a Gurugram-based AI workforce platform where companies hire pre-built AI employees or build their own to handle calls, chat, email and WhatsApp work, inside their CRM and business systems, with scoped access, approvals and a named human owner for every exception.
TokenRip is the shared workspace your AI agents work from. Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok and any MCP app read and write the same files, tasks and pinned decisions. Every change records which agent made it and why. You approve what needs you from one feed. There's a free plan.
Scalekit is an authentication stack for AI agents and B2B apps. Its AgentKit product puts 600+ connectors and 30,000+ tools behind one MCP gateway, with per-user OAuth, scoped tool sets, event triggers and audit logs, so agents can act in users' apps without your code ever holding a token.
Strawberry is a desktop browser for macOS and Windows with built-in AI companions that research, update CRMs, take meeting notes and run recurring routines inside the accounts you are already signed into. Strawberry 1.0 shipped on October 26, 2026.
Rerun lets teams hire AI "coworkers" that work on a schedule or trigger inside a private cloud computer, connect to thousands of apps and MCP servers, ask before consequential actions, and run on a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, an API key or included credits. It is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted.
OpenMail is email infrastructure for AI agents: one API call or CLI command gives each agent its own inbox and address, inbound mail arrives over a webhook or WebSocket with attachments parsed to text, and replies stay in thread, with EU data residency on every plan.
Inbox Zero is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) email client for Gmail and Outlook, free on web, desktop and iPhone, with paid AI plans that sort mail, draft replies and clean up the inbox.
