1. Create a business
You give the business a name, an objective and a market. Maqron creates its cost record, its credit balance and an empty work history.
2. Choose an operating mode
- Autonomous — the operator acts on its own within hard spending and tool limits.
- Co-founder — every tool use waits for the owner's approval or rejection.
- Scheduled — the operator runs on a timetable and reports each cycle.
3. Limits the model cannot override
Spending limits and tool permissions are checked by database functions before any action is recorded. If an action would exceed a limit, it is blocked — no matter what the model decides.
4. Every directive is an auditable run
Each instruction becomes an operating run with its recorded actions, costs and outcomes, so work can be resumed after a failure and reviewed later.
5. Usage credits and a clear cost record
Tools the operator uses, such as research and inference, are paid from prepaid usage credits. Every top-up and every tool cost is written by the database as its own cost record entry, never calculated in the browser.
6. Simple pricing
Maqron is free to start. Maqron Pro adds more monthly operator runs and priority support. Maqron never takes a cut of your business. See pricing and security.
