Product & market

Pricing

Credit-based, usage-based SaaS with monthly commit tiers and managed delivery options

Differentiators

  • —HIPAA-compliant and BAA-ready for regulated healthcare workflows
  • —Works across EHRs, payer portals, government registries, and desktop/Citrix systems without requiring good APIs
  • —Self-healing agents that can harden into deterministic scripts over time
  • —Astro natural-language builder for non-technical workflow creation
  • —Human-in-the-loop approvals, replayable audit trails, and observability
  • —No per-seat licensing or integration fees; transparent usage-based pricing
