Tasklet

An agent you describe a recurring business job to in plain English; it connects to your tools and runs the work on triggers/schedules (by the Shortwave team).

Why it's here: Closest 'describe the job, the agent does it on a schedule' UX to Kite, with a credit model plus an unusual daily-bonus mechanic.

Full flow19 steps

How they turn free users into paying ones

Tasklet keeps the entry free and card-less, gives about 1,100 starter credits, then pays more credits for each activation milestone: connect an app, automate a task, build a dashboard, text, email or share the agent. Free credits are spent on exactly the actions that make an agent sticky. The agent gets its own email, phone and Slack identity, so it becomes part of the daily workflow. The first message pushes a Gmail connection to 'solve a real problem'. Monetization is then economic rather than pushy: an Upgrade button in the header, subscriptions 20% cheaper per credit than top-ups, no per-seat fees, and 600 bonus credits on each day a paid user logs in.

Sharpest tactic

Credits as rewards for activation: '+250 connect an app, +500 automate a task, +1,000 text your agent, +1,000 share an agent'. The free grant grows only when the user does the things that predict retention.

The flow, step by step

Click any screenshot to enlarge; use ← → to page through. Viewport 1440×900; tall pages are full-page captures. Steps marked docs come from public help pages, not the live app.

Step 1 — Tasklet landing: 'Run your business on agents'. Primary 'Create your agent' (→ /login), secondary 'Book a demo'; 4-step story: describe goal → connect tools → automate 24x7 → share with team

Step 2 — Pricing: Free $0 ('Limited trial credits… Upgrade to unlock more credits and the full experience'), Starter $25/mo 10,000 credits, Pro $100/mo 40,000, Custom $250/mo 100k. Every paid plan: 'Claim 600 free bonus credits daily by using Tasklet'. No per-seat fees: team shares one credit pool

Step 3 — Pricing FAQ: 'Can I try Tasklet for free? Yes… Upgrade when you are ready.' Credits cost depends on task complexity, context, tools and 'intelligence level'; paid plans get '600 daily bonus credits on days you visit the app' (a daily-return habit hook); one-time top-ups $5 per 1,600 credits

Step 5 — Sign in with Google (identity masked): Tasklet asks only for name, profile picture and email. No Gmail or Drive scopes at sign-up

Step 6 — Signed in. Onboarding opens with 'Meet your new AI teammate that works for you' and a Next button

Step 7 — Intro slide 2: 'Works with any tool you use, securely. Easy to govern agent permissions. SOC 2 Type II compliant.'

Step 8 — Intro slide 3: 'Uses the best AI for each task': GPT, Claude, Gemini, xAI, open source; auto-selects or you choose the model

Step 9 — Intro slide 4: 'Keeps working while you're away': event cards (Mentioned in Slack → Question answered, Meeting starting soon → Meeting brief ready, Customer email → Follow-up sent)

Step 10 — Intro slide 5: 'Completes online tasks with its own browser' (billing-portal invoice demo) and 'Save logins securely for your agent'. Then a dashboards slide and 'What should we call your first agent?' (default: '<first name>'s Assistant', or Morgan Marketing / Riley Recruiting / Finley Finance)

Step 11 — 'Select the tools you use regularly. Your agent can help set them up to learn or take action': 30+ apps (Gmail, Drive, Slack, LinkedIn, Notion, Meta Ads, QuickBooks, HubSpot…). None selected

Step 12 — 'Create Agents, then share them for free. Who might use Tasklet?' Just me / Me and my team (team expansion question; sharing is free, no per-seat fee)

Step 13 — Preferences: opt-ins to let Tasklet review your threads and to get product email updates ('We never sell your data or allow our model providers to use it for training')

Step 14 — 'Message your agent from anywhere': the agent gets its own @tasklet.bot email address, an optional phone number and a Slack connect (only you can message it by default). 'Meet your agent' to finish

Step 15 — Agent home (identity masked): the agent's first message pushes 'Connect to Gmail' so it can 'propose a plan… while solving a real problem' (not connected). Sidebar: 'Next milestone 0 of 6: Connect an app +250 credits, Try it' (onboarding milestones pay out credits); 'Upgrade' button in the header; model '6.1 Sol Medium'

Step 16 — 'Get set up' milestones pay credits for activation: Connect an app +250, Automate a task +500, Create a dashboard +500, Text your agent +1,000, Email your agent +500, Share an agent +1,000 (up to 3,750 bonus credits for doing the sticky things)

Step 17 — 'Usage & credits' panel (header icon): 8 credits used so far, 'Organization balance: 1,089 credits' on the free plan, and a per-thread 'Daily limit' (this thread pauses at 10,000 credits/day, resets 8 PM)

Step 18 — [DOCS] 'How credits work': every action costs credits (thinking, reading email, browsing); monthly plans give 400 credits/$ (20% cheaper than one-time 320/$); paid plans get 600 daily bonus credits 'on days you log in'

Step 19 — [DOCS] Usage surfaces: a credits icon top-right, Settings → Agent → 'Usage & Limits' day-by-day chart with a 'sustainable-per-day line', per-thread breakdown, and an optional per-thread daily credit limit

Monetization mechanics

Trial / free offer	Free plan with about 1,100 starter credits (balance 1,089 after the 8-credit welcome turn); no time limit. Setup milestones pay up to +3,750 more credits.
Card required	No (per pricing page: 'No payment required')
What free actually allows	About 1,100 starter credits on Free (observed: 'Organization balance: 1,089 credits' after 8 used) plus milestone rewards: Connect an app +250, Automate a task +500, Create a dashboard +500, Text your agent +1,000, Email your agent +500, Share an agent +1,000. Per-thread daily limit 10,000 credits. The model is selectable (default '6.1 Sol Medium').
How usage is shown	'Usage & credits' icon in the header opens a panel: credits used (7/30-day chart), organization balance, and a per-thread daily limit ('This thread pauses when it reaches the limit'). [DOCS] Settings → Agent → Usage & Limits adds a sustainable-per-day line.
Discounts & annual nudges	No annual discount or promos. Instead: subscriptions are 20% cheaper per credit than one-time top-ups, and paid plans earn 600 bonus credits on every day you log in.
Sales assist	'Book a demo' beside the main CTA on the landing page; custom/enterprise via sales@tasklet.ai; video support on the $250 Custom plan.
Time to value	~6 minutes: Google sign-in, 6 intro slides and 4 short questions, then the agent's first turn. The research + LinkedIn draft for Kite came back in about 1.5 minutes.
Aha moment	An 'AI teammate' with its own @tasklet.bot email address, phone and Slack presence. The first task returned a sourced Kite vs Okara / Runlo / Jasper comparison and a LinkedIn draft, with 'I won't publish, send, or email anything'.
Account used	Google sign-in with a real company Google Workspace account Nikhil signed into the Composio cloud browser (identity scopes only; name and email masked on screenshots). Earlier throwaway-email attempt kept as context.

What Kite could take from it

Tie bonus credits to activation steps (connect a channel, schedule a recurring task, invite a teammate) instead of flat grants; this fits Kite's AM-106 ladder ($20 → phone +$30 → card +$50) and could extend it to product actions.
Give the agent its own reachable identity (an email address, a phone, Slack) during onboarding so users start delegating from where they already work.
A per-thread daily credit cap and a usage panel one click from the header let users trust an always-on agent with money.
No per-seat pricing with one shared credit pool pulls whole teams in under a single subscription.

Caveats: The in-app run ended when the cloud browser session expired, right after the first task; the exact credit cost of that task was not captured. Email lifecycle was not observed for this account.
