Provider support varies by plan and interface. Hands only shows capabilities that are actually available.

Where the work breaks

Good AI answers are not the same as finished work.

AI can analyze your spreadsheet, rewrite your document or generate a presentation. But too often the useful result stays trapped inside the conversation.

Hands carries the result through to the file, folder and service where the work belongs.

Eight handoffs become one instruction

Stop moving files. Start giving instructions.

Without Hands

  1. Find the file.
  2. Download it.
  3. Upload it to your AI.
  4. Explain what needs to change.
  5. Download the new version.
  6. Rename it.
  7. Upload it again.
  8. Hope you replaced the right file.

With Hands

“Go to my Monthly Reports folder. Open Revenue.xlsx, add a July tab, calculate actual versus budget, add a chart and save it back to the same file.”

Done.

Same file. Same folder. No manual handoff.

One Hand, whichever brain fits

Choose the best brain. Keep the same execution layer.

Switch providers without rebuilding your work context. One Hand holds the workspace, connectors, skills and approvals; each AI calls into the same controlled setup.

The AI brings its specialty. Hands brings continuity, control and execution.

Connected work

Connect the tools your work already lives in.

Choose only the services your Hand needs. Every connector is authorized separately, can be disconnected again, and is used only when your Hand needs it to carry out your instruction.

Google DriveRead, create and update files. Choose normal access or, when explicitly needed, full-Drive read access.
GmailRead your mailbox and prepare or send email when you instruct your Hand to do so.
Google CalendarRead calendars, check availability and create or change events when requested.
YouTubeRead channel information and upload videos through your connected account.
Google CloudWork with Google Cloud resources using the permissions of your connected account.
GitHubWork with repositories, branches and code so your Hand can investigate, change and test real projects.
NotionRead and update connected pages and workspaces, keeping project knowledge close to execution.

These are the connectors currently available in Hands. More are being prepared. You can disconnect access at any time and revoke it at the provider as well. Read our privacy statement.

Hands use cases

What do you want to get done?

Do not start with a connector. Start with the outcome. Pick a use case, see which AI and work services fit, and use the master prompt as your starting point.

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before creating and connecting your Hand.

What is a Hand, exactly?

A Hand is your own small Linux computer in the cloud, running software that ChatGPT or Claude can talk to. Your AI already knows how to think; a Hand gives it somewhere to actually do things — open a file, run something or prepare a change.

Every Hand has its own machine, connector URL and access key. Nothing is shared between Hands or with anyone else.

What does it cost?

Your first Hand is free for 30 days without a payment card. It does not renew automatically: after the trial, the Hand pauses until you activate the €5 monthly plan. Two Hands cost €8 and three cost €10 per month and start charging after Stripe confirms payment. Upgrading during the trial ends it. Deleting a Hand does not change your selected paid capacity. Stripe shows the final tax-inclusive price before confirmation.

Paid subscriptions and plan changes use Stripe's hosted checkout and customer portal. If Stripe is unavailable, no plan or paid capacity is changed.

Which AI plan do I need?

It depends on which AI you use, and the differences are real.

AIWhat you need
ChatGPTPlus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu on the web. Turn on Developer mode first. Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces may apply administrator controls. The Free plan is not currently listed as eligible.
ClaudeAny plan, including Free. A free account can add one custom connector, so it can connect one Hand; using multiple Hands may require a paid Claude plan.
PerplexityAn Enterprise organization where Custom connectors are enabled. An admin can allow members to add remote connectors or share one with the organization.

On ChatGPT Business and Enterprise, and on Claude Team and Enterprise, an administrator controls this. If the option is missing, only your admin can change that policy.

How does payment work?

No payment method is required for the 30-day one-Hand trial. Hands emails you 7, 3 and 1 days before it expires. At expiry, the Hand pauses without a charge. To continue, or to use two or three Hands, open Stripe from Hands, link a payment method and confirm the paid plan. We receive only the subscription identifiers, status and payment events needed to run that plan.

What happens when the trial ends, or when I cancel?

The free trial expires by itself, so there is nothing to cancel and no automatic charge. At the end of day 30, the connector URL is blocked and the Hand pauses until payment is confirmed. Cancel a paid plan and access continues through the paid period; part-used months are not refunded. After a failed renewal, Stripe retries during a 7-day grace period before the Hand is paused. Sandbox data is not automatically deleted.

We do not currently delete paused Hands on a fixed timer or create a billing checkpoint automatically. Delete an individual Hand from its dashboard card. Use Account to export your account data or permanently delete the full account.

Where does my data physically live?

Your Hand runs on Sprites, Fly.io's isolated Linux sandboxes. Sprites are placed automatically in the Fly.io region nearest the request; they cannot currently be pinned to a specific country or to the EU.

The sandbox filesystem is backed by Tigris object storage, which Fly.io lists as a sub-processor in the United States. We therefore do not promise that your data stays inside the EU.

See the full sub-processor list.

What can my Hand see?

Only what is on its own machine, plus whatever you deliberately connect to it. Nothing on your laptop and nothing in your accounts until you connect it yourself.

Why is it asleep when I am not using it?

A Hand hibernates after a short idle period and wakes when your AI calls it, usually within a second or two. You are not paying for a machine that sits and hums.

How do I cancel?

From Account in your console profile menu. Manage subscription opens Stripe's customer portal; there is no form to fill in and no conversation to have first.

You also have a statutory right of withdrawal.

Can I get my data out, or delete everything?

You can permanently delete each individual Hand from its dashboard card; that immediately removes its machine, files and checkpoints. Your selected Stripe capacity is managed separately from Account. From there you can download a portable JSON export or permanently delete the full account yourself. Full deletion requires a recent sign-in and your exact email address.

Which AI can I use it with?

Anything that speaks MCP. You add your Hand as a custom connector using its URL and key. The public connecting guide walks through ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity step by step.
