PageLines is a hosted AI assistant platform built around personal bots for recurring work. Each agent operates on its own cloud computer with a browser and memory, and users can watch its activity or take control. Users can create a skill once, share it across clients, and schedule it to run. Before sending, spending, or making changes, the assistant asks for approval and shows its work. Listed jobs include CRM updates, sales follow-ups, prospect research, campaign reports, call briefs, proposal drafts, inbox triage, and meeting scheduling. The integrations page lists 125 tools, among them Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and GitHub. Bots also work with Telegram, iPhone, and voice. PageLines says its agent is built on the open-source Hermes agent and open-weight models. The free option includes one bot and 5,000 credits once, but has no browser and pauses when idle. Essential costs $49 a month per computer; Professional is $99 a month per computer, and Business is $199 a month per computer. Paid plans begin with 10 days free after adding a card. PageLines lists web, macOS, and iOS platforms.
