How is this different from a chat assistant?

A chat assistant answers you, and then you do the job. On CloudStation, Charlie hands the job to specialists who use your tools and carry out the steps. Work can also start from a customer message, a schedule or your own app.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Start with a job you can describe in plain words. Charlie picks the help. You connect the accounts the job needs. Connecting your own software through the Agents API is the one part that may need a developer.

What should I start with?

Pick one job with a clear result that lands on you every week. Routine customer questions, research before a call and a weekly report are good first ones. Try it, check the results, then let it run.

Will it do things without asking me?

Only what you allow. You choose which tools the team can use and where it stops for your decision. You can watch, pause or stop any job, and read and join every customer conversation.

What if something breaks halfway?

Long jobs save their place as they go. After a pause or a restart they pick up where they stopped instead of starting over.

Can I use my own AI account?

Yes. Connect a Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini account or your own provider keys, or use access your team shares. Your provider's billing and limits apply.

Can my team use it together?

Yes. Owners, admins and members share specialists, tools and keys without passing passwords around, and each person connects their own mail and files.

Can I take my work with me?

Yes. Export your files and app data whenever you like. If you close your account, running apps get a 30-day window to export before hosted resources are removed.

Gotenberg

Gotenberg is an open-source API that turns HTML, web pages and Office files into PDFs, so AI agents and apps can create documents. Deploy it in one click.

Deploy Gotenberg on CloudStation Without Managing Servers

This template runs Gotenberg with password protection turned on, so your conversion API is ready to use and closed to everyone else.

⚠️ Before you start: Call the API with username admin and the GOTENBERG_API_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD value from the service's environment variables. It is generated for each deployment.

What is Gotenberg?

Gotenberg is a document conversion API. It uses Chromium for HTML and web pages, and LibreOffice for Office files. It is open source under the MIT license.

How do I connect an AI agent to Gotenberg?

Send a form with an index.html file to /forms/chromium/convert/html using basic auth. The response is your PDF. Any agent or tool that can upload a file over HTTP can use it.

Best For and Not Best For
