- What does WARBAND do?
-
WARBAND is an operator console for small businesses. You build a team of AI agents by
describing what you want in plain English, and you run the Traffic Loop to get your
business found, recommended, and booked by AI assistants. It runs on your own LLM keys
(BYOK) — WARBAND charges no per-run fee.
- Does AI recommend my business?
-
Buyers increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for
recommendations. WARBAND's ORACLE tool mystery-shops those engines with your buyers' real
questions and measures your Citation Share — how often they cite you versus competitors.
Beacon then diagnoses why, scoring how readable your site is to AI agents from 0 to 100.
- What is the Traffic Loop?
-
Three tools in sequence. Measure: ORACLE finds your Citation Share across AI answer
engines. Diagnose: Beacon scores your website 0–100 against the Agent-Readability
Rubric. Prepare: Minuteman stages a dry-run review queue of prospects from public buying
signals. Nothing is published or sent without your explicit approval.
- What is BYOK (bring your own key)?
-
BYOK means Bring Your Own Key. WARBAND never uses a platform LLM key for your runs. You
add your own Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or Kimi key, and every token an agent uses is
billed directly to your provider account. Your keys are encrypted and isolated per
tenant — WARBAND never sells or routes them.
- How much does WARBAND cost?
-
WARBAND is in invite-only private beta with no per-run platform fee — from $0. You pay
your own LLM provider directly for the tokens your agents use (typically a few hundred
to a few thousand tokens per run). Monitor usage inside the console under Spend Watch.
- Is anything sent or published without my approval?
-
No. Beacon and ORACLE are read-only audits — they never modify or publish anything.
Minuteman is dry-run only: it stages prospects in a review queue but sends no email or
message. The dry-run guard is a hard code constraint, not a toggle. Every tool fails
closed if a required key is missing.
- How do I get access to WARBAND?
-
WARBAND is invite-only during private beta. If you have a beta code, register at
/register. If you don't, join the waitlist from the same page and
we'll send an invitation. You can also book a demo by emailing
beta@warband.dev.
