# Introduction

Foxora is the operating system for AI agents. It bundles a desktop environment, an agent runtime, and a unified API gateway behind one account.

## What you get

Foxora is built around three surfaces that share a single account, billing, and data model:

- Foxora Desktop — a desktop app that gives every agent its own window, file system, and tools. Read the installation guide.
- Cloud agents — long-lived agents that run on Foxora’s infrastructure on a schedule or in response to webhooks.
- The Foxora gateway — one HTTP API at https://api.foxora.ai/v1 that routes requests to any model you have access to. See the API reference.

## Who Foxora is for

Foxora is built for developers, indie hackers, and teams who want to ship agent-powered features without rebuilding the same plumbing every time: auth, model routing, usage metering, and a UI to run things from.

- If you just want a desktop assistant, install Foxora Desktop and start chatting.
- If you want to embed Foxora in your own product, use the API gateway.
- If you want both, sign in once and switch between them at any time.

## Core concepts

### Account

Your Foxora account holds your profile, plan, payment method, and API keys. The same account is used to sign in to the desktop app, the dashboard, and the gateway.

### Plan

Plans gate features and set monthly limits. The default plan is free. See Plans & pricing for the full list.

### Agent

An agent is a configured assistant: a model, a system prompt, a set of tools, and an optional schedule. Agents can run in Foxora Desktop or as cloud agents.
