How is this different from the default StackWeavers runtime?+
The default runtime ships full vertical slices end to end: database, API, frontend, tests, deploy. Specialized Agents are scoped to a single discipline. Use them when the work is a focused problem (an RFC, a code review, a migration step) rather than a full feature. Same quality gates apply either way.
Which plans include Specialized Agents?+
Pro, Team, and Enterprise. The Free tier stays scoped to one project on the default vertical-slice runtime. On Team and Enterprise, you can pair an agent with included human-in-the-loop hours for the high-stakes calls.
How does pricing work?+
Specialized Agents are billed in Capacity Units per delivered unit (PR, RFC, audit, migration step, or docset). The ranges on this page are indicative. They draw from your existing CU bundle on the managed track, or run free of CU caps on the BYOK track since you pay your model provider directly.
What makes this different from a pure agent swarm?+
Every Specialized Agent pairs with an optional human reviewer from the rate card. The agent does the work; a named human signs off on the high-stakes call. That agent-plus-human model is the point. It is not a fully autonomous swarm you have to trust blind, and it is not a black box. You see every step, and a human owns the decision that matters.
Does it work with BYOK?+
Yes. Specialized Agents run on the same model-routing layer as the default runtime. On managed, the platform handles model spend. On BYOK, you pay your model provider directly and the platform charges a flat fee, with no CU cap or per-token markup.
Can I bring my own specialized agent?+
Not at this time. StackWeavers is a closed-source platform and we don't operate a third-party agent marketplace. The roster on this page is the catalog we ship and maintain ourselves.
How is this different from the human HITL rate card?+
Specialized Agents are AI specialists. The HITL rate card buys you human specialists (Product Owner, Senior Engineer, Architect, Security & Compliance). You can mix the two: an agent does the work and a human reviews the high-stakes call. That pairing is the recommended way to run them.
How do I get started?+
Book a demo and we'll walk through the roles that fit your work, or start on Pro and add a specialist to your first deliverable. The code stays in your cloud, your keys, with no training on it, the same as the rest of the platform.
