Put your busywork on autopilot.
Pulse watches your inbox, your tools and your data, then takes action — replies, follow-ups, reports, alerts. Every action is traceable and auditable, so you stay in control and nothing important slips through.
Runs on your own computer. Your data never leaves your machine, and every action is signed and logged so you can always prove exactly what happened.
The 30-second pitch
You've probably already written a Python script or a no-code automation that uses a language model to do something useful. Then you wrote another. Then you realised you have five half-broken automations scattered across three services, with credentials duplicated, no audit log, no retry logic, and no way to tell which one just sent a weird email to your whole list.
Pulse is what those five scripts wanted to be.
Who Pulse is for
Home operators & prosumers
- Run a personal AI that actually knows your inbox, calendar and files — 100% on your own machine, zero SaaS in the loop.
- Spin up 3–10 background automations from a no-code wizard. No Python, no cron, no Docker, no cloud bill.
- Close the laptop, the desktop keeps working. Local-first, embedded, always-on.
Small & medium businesses
- Punch above your weight: ship real AI workflows in days, not the 6-month integration project your bigger competitors are running.
- Escape the no-code tax — flat pricing, unlimited agents, and direct access to your in-house systems instead of $500/month per seat.
- Audit trail, data residency and compliance posture (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 prep) built in — without an enterprise contract.
Large enterprises
- Give every team a sanctioned runtime to build AI workflows on — same binary on a laptop, a Postgres prod and an HA cluster, governed centrally.
- Keep sensitive data on your infra: on-prem, private cloud or hybrid. Nothing leaves your perimeter unless you say so.
- Grow into a distributed event mesh across business units without re-platforming — start small, scale to the whole org.
Developers & integrators
- One runtime instead of duct-taping an LLM orchestrator, a stream processor, a materialized-view DB and a deploy platform.
- Five SDKs, one API — Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java. Build from the stack you already work in.
- Pipelines as versionable YAML / JSON, plus an open API to extend the runtime when the wizard isn't enough.
- A real business model on top: package templates, resell and support Pulse for your own clients.
Data & platform engineers
- Event-time stream processing, stateful agents over millions of events and continuous materialized views — in one runtime, no separate cluster to babysit.
- Native Kafka protocol compatibility: existing producers and consumers plug in unchanged.
- Same binary from embedded laptop → production PostgreSQL → HA → distributed event mesh. No rewrites, no migrations.
Why Pulse is different?
One runtime built on three layers — that grows with you from a single laptop to a distributed event mesh, without rewriting your agents.
Events
The raw material. An email arrives, a webhook fires, a schedule ticks, a file lands in a watched folder.
Agents
The workers. Each agent subscribes to a topic of events, reasons about each one (rule-based, LLM, or by calling external tools via MCP), and emits new events downstream.
Pipelines
Named chains of agents that accomplish a business outcome: 'when an incoming email looks like a CV, score it against the job description, draft a response, ask me to approve, then send.'
You compose pipelines from your laptop, ship them to production, scale to HA, and grow into a distributed event mesh — same binary, same agents, every step of the way.
Everything in one runtime
What used to require 4–5 separate tools — orchestrator, stream engine, materialized view DB, deployment platform — is now a single binary.

Wired into the tools your teams already use
Fan events out to product analytics, real-time BI and observability — no bespoke pipeline to babysit. Browse the full catalogue on the connectors page.
Live funnels, in minutes
Stream events to Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel, PostHog, GA4, Heap and Customer.io. Growth and product see live data where they already work.
Dashboards that move now
Push directly into Power BI streaming datasets. Tiles refresh in seconds — not on the next nightly batch.
Lands where on-call lives
Ship events, alerts and pipeline health to Splunk and Datadog. No extra tab to babysit.
What makes Pulse different
1. Self-hosted by design, not as an afterthought
Most AI automation platforms are SaaS with a checkbox for 'enterprise self-hosted' at 10x the price. Pulse flips the model: the self-hosted version IS the product. There is no Cloud version. We get paid because the product is useful, not because we lock you into our data centre.
2. Your LLM, your choice, no lock-in
A local model on your laptop works the same as a top-tier cloud LLM over an API. Switch with one dropdown. Cost-sensitive workflows can run locally; latency-sensitive ones can run in the cloud. You're never held hostage to a single provider.
3. Unlimited where it matters
Every plan, including FREE, gets unlimited agents, unlimited pipelines, unlimited LLM calls (at your provider's cost), unlimited events. We don't cap the thing you'd actually use.
4. Pay-per-template
Not ready to subscribe? Buy the one template you need for $7-$49 one-time. Keep it forever. No recurring bill if you just want 'the job matcher' and nothing else.
5. Zero terminal for setup
First boot opens a browser wizard, create admin, pick your LLM, done. No YAML. No command-line. No Docker-fu. A home user can install Pulse the same way they install Spotify.
6. Auditable security
Codebase signed by a known author. Backups on a schedule. Plugin credentials encrypted at rest. Every admin action audit-logged. Restore is two clicks.
7. PVSC, consensus validation for AI decisions
Pulse ships with a guardian-consensus layer nobody else has. Instead of one language model deciding whether to approve a refund, send a medical triage, or execute a trade, a committee of independent guardians reviews every critical event and only commits when they agree. Disagreement blocks the event and escalates to a human with the full review record. Every decision leaves a tamper-evident audit trail that holds up in front of a compliance auditor. Included on every plan, FREE included. See the PVSC page for how it works and when to use it.
