CrewPoppy · AI agents in your own cloud
CrewPoppy gives you AI agents that take on the work you'd rather not do yourself — for your business or your own life. They're free, they run inside your own AWS account, and nothing they write reaches another person until you approve it.
Installs through AgentsPoppy on Mac, Windows and Linux. You'll need your own AWS account — the agents live there, not with us.
Some of it belongs to a business: the offer that has to go out today, the invoice that has to match last month's, the document somebody wants summarised. Some of it is just yours: the letter you keep putting off, the forty-page policy you'd rather not read, the notes nobody has written up. Either way it still has to happen, and it is still you doing it.
That's what you hand to an agent.
You stay on the part only you can do. Each agent has a job you describe in a sentence or two, a folder of its own and a monthly limit — so handing something over is a decision you can make in a minute, and take back just as quickly.
You don't have to describe an agent from a blank box. CrewPoppy ships with ready-made ones — a name, a written brief, the abilities the job needs and a sensible monthly limit, all filled in. Pick one, read what it says, and change anything you like before you save it.
Writes offers and invoices
Give it your invoice template once. Then one message — customer, amount, what for — gets you a finished PDF, and nothing is emailed until you approve it.
Suggested limit $10/month · comes with an offer template
Answers questions about your documents
Drop contracts, policies or notes into its files, and ask in plain words: what does it say about notice periods? It answers from the documents, not from imagination.
Suggested limit $5/month · reads only, never writes
Tracks your expenses
Tell it what you spent — "paid the doctor 34 euro today" — and it files the expense under your own categories, keeps the spreadsheet, and reports back: totals by month, by category, or the whole year.
Suggested limit $5/month · the spreadsheet opens in Excel
Splits shared expenses
For a trip or a shared house: tell it who's in and who paid what as you go. At the end, it settles the kitty — who owes, who receives, and the working shown so everyone can check it.
Suggested limit $5/month · shows its working
Your morning web brief
Give it the pages you check every day — news, prices, a status page. Every morning it reads them and emails you one short summary.
Suggested limit $5/month · runs daily at 07:30
A ready-made agent fills the form in — it can't tick the boxes. Every ability above is a suggestion, shown to you in exactly this list, and it is still you who grants it and presses save. That's the whole point: "use this template" can never become a way to walk somebody through a permission they never read.
These are the ones available today, and more are added over time. Each one has actually been run before it was included — a template that fails the first time you use it is worse than the empty box it replaced, so plausible-sounding ones wait until they've been proven.
Most AI tools keep your work on someone else's servers. CrewPoppy doesn't. When you install it, it builds a small backend inside your own AWS account: a database for your agents and what they remember, a folder for the files they make, and one function that does the thinking. Your agents, their instructions, their conversations and their documents live there — under your billing, your access controls, your rules.
Removing it takes everything with it. That isn't a promise in a document; the uninstall is tested against the real cloud and has to leave nothing behind.
An agent can research, write, keep notes and prepare a message. It cannot send that message to another person on its own. It stops and shows you the exact recipient, the exact subject and the exact words, and waits.
Approving sends precisely that stored text — the agent doesn't get another turn to change the address or the wording afterwards. And approval is a button, never a phrase: typing "yes, go ahead" in the conversation is a message, not consent.
Every ability is something you grant deliberately — reading its own files, writing documents, emailing you, emailing other people. A new agent starts able only to read the task you type and answer it, which is a safe place to begin.
Instructions describe the job; they never grant an ability. An agent that has been argued into anything at all still can't do what you didn't tick.
You choose, per agent, whether it reaches you by email or on your phone. If you pick the phone and no phone is listening, the email is sent instead — so a request can never sit waiting where nobody sees it.
Each agent has its own folder. Put a template, a price list or reference notes in it, and the agent works from those instead of inventing. Anything it produces — a PDF offer, a report — lands in the same folder, where you can read it, download it or delete it.
Save your agents to a file Excel opens, edit it, and upload it back to create or update hundreds at once. Rows match agents by name, so existing names update and keep their history — and an upload never deletes anybody.
The same download works as the template when you're starting from nothing, and your data goes out as easily as it came in.
The CrewPoppy phone app pairs to your own deployment with a one-time code shown on your computer. See who's working and who needs you, chat with any agent, attach a document, stop a run, and approve or refuse what an agent wants to send — with the full message in front of you.
Every agent has a monthly spending limit you set, and a run that would exceed it refuses to start. What it has spent is on screen next to that limit, taken from the same counter that enforces it — so the number you read and the number that stops a run can never disagree. Creating agents is free; you only pay AWS when one actually runs.
Notifications are the one paid extra. Everything else — the agents, the approvals, the phone app itself — is free. Your phone buzzing on its own is the part that runs on our servers rather than in your AWS, and that is what's paid for.
Your agents' instructions, conversations, files and cloud resources stay in your AWS account. We don't receive them and we can't read them.
There is one deliberate exception, and it only exists if you turn notifications on: to make your phone buzz, we store your device's notification token and the identifier of your sign-in pool, and each alert carries the agent's name and what kind of attention it needs — never what it's about. The app then fetches the actual content from your own AWS when you open it. Turning notifications off removes that.
The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Questions, problems, or anything about your account: email support@crewpoppy.com and a human will read it.
Install AgentsPoppy, add CrewPoppy from the directory, connect your AWS account, and create your first agent. It takes a few minutes.
CrewPoppy's code is public on GitHub under the PolyForm Shield licence — readable and usable, but not for building a competing product.
Export all your agents as a spreadsheet whenever you like, and remove CrewPoppy without leaving anything behind in your account.
