Bandicot is a native Mac workspace where people and AI agents work on the same projects. Agents ask before they write, every change becomes a version, and every turn shows the tokens and cost it spent.

Yes, for one person: Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Team is $8.99 a month for up to 3 profiles, Family $14.99 for up to 6, Business $49.99 for up to 25, and Enterprise starts at $50 for 26 profiles plus $1.92 per seat.

Does Bandicot reduce token costs?

It is built to, and it shows you every token either way. A frozen prompt prefix keeps caches warm, history is append-only, compaction runs only at thresholds and skills load on demand. No whole-task saving is claimed until the fixed-corpus measurement is published.

Can several people use Bandicot together?

Yes, on one Mac today: profiles keep each person's projects and memory apart, and a team roster puts agents next to people. Syncing a team across machines is in development.

Does the AI change files without asking?

No. Writes, commands and spend outside your permissions file wait for approval, and every file change is recorded so it can be restored.

Which models does Bandicot work with?

Hosted providers you connect, and local models. A pinned catalog of 8 small chat models for Apple Silicon Macs, from Gemma 3 270M to SmolLM3 3B, each checked against the Mac's GPU memory budget before download. Larger work goes to a hosted provider you connect. Remote providers receive the prompts sent to them.

Does Bandicot run automations?

Yes. Automations are agents that run on a schedule or on request inside a project, on your Mac while Bandicot is open, under the same approvals as a chat.

Does Bandicot claim SOC 2 or GDPR credentials?

No external certification is claimed. Read the privacy and security docs for the actual boundaries.

Is Bandicot the same as Bandicoot?

Yes. The brand is Bandicot, one o. Bandicoot is a common misspelling.

Chapter VReference · Direction

Roadmap

The direction after today's workspace, with no invented ship dates.

Direction. Part of the product contract without a release-date promise.

Prove the token saving

The mechanisms ship: a frozen prefix, append-only history, threshold compaction and on-demand skills. The next step is measuring tokens per solved task on a fixed corpus, before and after each change. Until that exists, no percentage is claimed.

Teams across machines

One project and roster shared by people on different Macs.

Agents, profiles, approvals and versions already work on one Mac. The work ahead is carrying them to people on different machines without merging private memory.

Further out

Remote handoff and shared compute are direction only. Each needs identity, privacy, cancellation and recovery to be shown end to end before its label can change.

A roadmap entry has no ship date. It is not an availability promise.
