beecork

An always-on AI assistant powered by Claude Code

If a computer
can do it,
Beecork does it
for you

Other assistants need a plugin for every task.
Beecork has a full computer. It figures out the rest.

Email, messages, calendar, reminders, notes, files, web research, summaries, translations, documents, trip planning, flight booking, appointments, price comparison, food orders, package tracking, image generation, code, apps, deployments, servers, databases, backups, monitoring, reports — all from Telegram or WhatsApp.

Quick install
$ npm install -g beecork $ beecork setup $ beecork start

Or one-liner: curl -fsSL https://beecork.com/install.sh | bash

Not plugins. A full computer.

Other AI assistants can only do what their plugins allow. Beecork runs Claude Code — which has full access to your computer. If you can do it from a terminal, Beecork can do it for you.

📩

Manage your inbox

Read, draft, and send emails. Summarize what's important. Set up auto-responses. Handle messages across platforms.

📅

Run on autopilot

Set schedules once — daily reports, weekly cleanups, hourly checks. Beecork runs them and reports back.

🔎

Research anything

Fetch web pages, read documents, compare prices, analyze data. Long tasks run while you sleep.

💻

Build and deploy

Write code, fix bugs, run tests, push to production. Full-stack development from your phone.

🔒

Organize your life

Manage files, book appointments, track orders, plan trips. The everyday tasks you never have time for.

🖥

Watch your systems

Monitor servers, check uptime, read logs, restart crashed services. Get alerts before problems become outages.

Smart, not just connected

Beecork doesn't just forward your messages. It understands what you want, routes to the right context, and makes sure the job gets done.

🧠

Understands your intent

Send a plain message — Beecork figures out what you need and which project or context it belongs to. No commands required.

🎯

Finishes the job

Tracks whether the task was actually completed. If not, automatically follows up until it's done.

📚

Remembers everything

Your preferences, your projects, past decisions. Gets smarter with every conversation. Never asks the same question twice.

🛡

Stays safe

Loop detection, automatic recovery, circuit breakers. You stay in control even when it runs unattended at 3am.

Verdict: Beecork's project-aware routing, watchers, and built-in media generation (image + video + music + voice) are unique. OpenClaw has the most model flexibility. Perplexity's 19-model orchestration is powerful but costs $200/mo.

Pricing model Your Claude subscription BYO API keys Bundled plan Credit-based Credit-based
API keys needed? No* Yes No No No
Token / usage costs? No — included Yes (per token) Bundled Credits vary Credits expire
Free tier Yes (self-hosted) Yes (self-hosted) No No Limited (300 credits)
Cost predictability Fixed monthly Varies by usage Fixed monthly Credit burn varies Credit burn varies
Surprise bills? Never Possible No Possible Credits can run out
Beecork's pricing advantage: Beecork runs on your existing Claude subscription instead of building a separate API layer. No API keys for core features (messaging, tabs, scheduling, memory, MCP tools), no token costs, no surprise bills. Optional add-ons like media generation use third-party API keys. OpenClaw is free software but your API bill varies month to month. Perplexity and Manus use credit systems where a complex task can burn hundreds of credits with no upfront estimate.
