QUESTIONS

What happens when I add someone mid-month?

You pay for the new seat from that day only, and the change shows on your next invoice before you confirm it. Removing someone frees the seat at the end of the period.

Can I switch from monthly to yearly?+

Do guests count as seats?+

Agents can work with your local development environment, including localhost and private network services. Access depends on where agents run and the permissions you've granted.

Agents can navigate websites and interact with web applications through Obvious's built-in browser, including apps running locally on your computer.

Yes. Your projects, conversations, and agent work live in the same Obvious workspace, so you can move between desktop and web.
