Hosted Agent

Built-in mode routes agent requests through Recense. No API key required — usage is metered against your plan's token allowance.

How it works

  • Same agent sidebar, tools, and capabilities as BYOK mode.
  • Provider and model selection is managed by Recense.
  • Usage is tracked in built-in agent tokens per month.

When to choose hosted

  • You want the fastest possible setup.
  • Team members should use the agent without individual provider accounts.
  • You prefer centralised usage tracking in Recense instead of across provider consoles.
