Can I deploy an agent for free to test it?
#The question
Authoring and validating .swirls files is free, and you can deploy to Swirls Cloud and inspect the compiled project for free. When you are ready to run it, git push or swirls deploy ships the same files.
#Who's asking
Founder / small-team builder. 1-50 person company. High autonomy, wants agent logic deployed without standing up infrastructure.
#Why Swirls is a fit
Swirls makes the agent a deployable artifact. You describe agents, workflows, tools, triggers, schedules, and secrets in .swirls files, then ship them with git push or swirls deploy. DSL in, running system out.
Authoring is local and free. You write and validate .swirls files on your machine with the CLI and your editor, then deploy with git push or swirls deploy. Swirls Cloud runs the system, so there is no runtime infrastructure for you to operate.
#What Swirls is
Swirls is the deployment target for agentic systems. The whole system lives in .swirls files: agents, deterministic workflows your agents call as tools, typed schemas, triggers, schedules, and scoped secrets. You author and validate those files on your machine, then ship them with git push or swirls deploy. The hosted runtime takes it from there.
