Update: Stealth Model Crouton Alpha is now also available for Free on Perch AI. Built for coding, agent work and high-volume tool use. 1M context, reads images. Sign up at: perchai.app Let us know what model y'all think it is!

Why doesn't Perch Offer Model API Access? One of the most common questions and request we get is if we offer or will offer API access? The short answer is No, we won't and that's by design. The Longer Answer is: Perch for me is a passion project. It's something I built because I enjoy building it. The principle Perch AI is built on is that an economical token plan shouldn't have to mean subpar harness. Users who have been here since Day 1 know this wasn't always a smooth ride. We started with a buggy app just on Mac in late June. Now we are available on every platform, plus CLI and Cloud Agents. We could probably 10x our volume and revenue overnight if we offered API access but that's not what I want. I want to give y'all the best agentic app experience you can have free of cost which is why Perch outside of our inference doesn't cost a penny to run for people. We offer BYOK, BYOLM and soon the ability to run other CLI agents within our own GUI Most people think we are also chasing token numbers like most our competitors, we are not. We'd rather provide 10B high quality token usage than offer 1T shitty ones. Many people here think we are this highly funded massive team. We are not, I built Perch solo by myself and turned it into the entity it is today. This is why Perch is and will always be unique to most harnesses you will use. If there's one thing I can promise y'all is that at Perch, you'll always be heard. Our current users can vouch for it. I am available to listen to your concerns via comments on X, messages on Discord or our email. I want to thank you all for your continued support of Perch. I appreciate criticism as much as I do praise so please let us know how we can improve your experience going forward!

Perch now speaks your language. On web and desktop, the app is now available in 7 languages. Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian. Dictation, in beta, understands 63+ languages, so you can talk to it in yours. Free on every plan. What language would you like us to add next?

Perch's Agent Browser, Now even better It opens your site, checks it at any page size from desktop down to phone, and fixes what breaks. Every chat now gets its own tab, so several agents can browse at the same time. In the Perch desktop app: perchterminal.com

Since a lot of y'all asked for it, we are launching the Perch Desktop App on Linux in Beta. We have also implemented auto-update across all platforms so for this one last time we will ask you to manually update your desktop apps to V2.5.0 Download Perch Desktop: perchai.app/desktop

Sub-sessions are now in Perch, on every plan, free included. Some jobs are too big for one chat. Hand them off and each one gets a chat of its own: it runs in the background, you can open it and steer it mid-task, and it reports back when it’s done.
