What is TinyFat?

TinyFat gives you a personal AI agent that runs 24/7 in the cloud. You email it, it thinks, it replies. No apps to install, no complex setup — just email.

The core idea

Section titled “The core idea”

Your agent is a full Linux container running pi-mono, an open-source agent framework. It has:

  • Its own email address — yourname@tinyfat.com
  • Persistent filesystem — Files survive restarts
  • Memory — A MEMORY.md file that persists your agent’s context
  • Skills — Pre-installed tools for web scraping, API calls, and more
  • Full shell access — Run any Linux command

How it works

Section titled “How it works”
  1. You email your agent — Send to yourname@tinyfat.com
  2. Agent wakes up — Container starts automatically (scale-to-zero)
  3. Agent thinks — Reads your email, decides what to do
  4. Agent responds — Writes a reply to its outbox
  5. You get the email — Platform delivers the response

What makes TinyFat different?

Radical transparency

We don’t hide the implementation. Your agent runs pi-mono in a Fly.io container. The code is open source. You can inspect everything.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

Section titled “BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)”

You provide your own Anthropic API key. We don’t markup API costs. You pay Anthropic directly, at their rates.

Simple pricing

Free during launch. After launch: one flat monthly fee. No per-message charges, no usage caps.

Escape hatch
