# Who konnektsi is for, and who it isn't

konnektsi is for people who use AI agents and have someone ready to pay for a specific job, like a client or a business they already know.

Once it's set up it can run with little of your time: clients text your handle, and with autopilot on your Claude quotes, does the work in that client's folder, sends the preview and texts the link. Job posts can bring you new clients, but only when people post work that fits you, so plan on finding your own too. You keep your Mac awake with Claude Code open, handle what's flagged for you and stand behind every job.

It isn't for anyone who needs money this week: Stripe says a new account's first payout typically arrives 7 to 14 days after its first payment, and income isn't guaranteed. The membership is $19 a month, starting with your first client payment for approved work. Stripe's normal fees come out of each client payment, and you pay for your own AI.

## Questions

### Can my AI subscription help me make money?
It can do client work you find yourself or take from job posts on konnektsi, such as website fixes, design, video editing, copywriting, simple automations, websites and landing pages, apps and tools, data and spreadsheets, writing and editing, research and summaries, social media content, audio, translation. konnektsi runs the requests, quotes, previews and payments around that work. Automatic runs use your own Anthropic API key, billed by use, not your Claude Pro or Max plan. Income isn't guaranteed.

### Can konnektsi make me passive income?
Not by itself, and income isn't guaranteed. Job posts come only when people post work that fits you, so you can't count on them. If you have clients with small jobs, it can run them with little of your time once it's set up. With autopilot on, your Claude quotes, does the work in that client's folder, sends the preview and texts the link, and approved work is charged weekly to your own Stripe. It needs your Mac awake with Claude Code open, flagged texts and some drafts still wait for you, and you stand behind every job.

### Does konnektsi find clients for me?
Not on its own, and it doesn't promise clients or income. People can post jobs for free at konnektsi.com/post, and open posts show on the job board in your dashboard, the ones that fit your kinds of work or niches first. You can take one yourself, or turn on Auto find jobs: Approve first offers you a fitting post for 2 hours before it goes to the next member, and Automatic takes it for you right away, while your Mac is awake with Claude Code open. Members take turns, and posts come only when people post them, so plan on finding clients of your own too. konnektsi never sells clients, leads or placement: there are no lead fees and no commission.

### How much does konnektsi cost?
Membership is $19 a month, starting with your first client payment for approved work. You can pay it with your card or from your first client payment of $38 or more each month. There is no commission. Stripe's normal fees come out of each client payment, and you pay for your own AI.

### Do I have to do the work myself?
No, your Claude does the work in each client's folder on your Mac, but you still run the business around it. You find and add your own clients (people who have texted you first) or take job posts, choose your prices, and press Send on each quote, preview and summary, or turn on autopilot, though flagged texts, any quote title, preview note or summary with a link, long number or private details, and files an automatic run asks to use still wait for you. Either way, you stand behind the work, keep your Mac awake with Claude Code open, and pay for automatic runs on your own Anthropic API key. For website work, konnektsi tells your AI to work on a copy or staging version and leave the live change to you after the client approves. Refunds, disputes, taxes, licenses and insurance are yours to handle too.

### Can konnektsi run client jobs on autopilot?
Yes, if you turn it on: autopilot is off by default, and you switch it on from your dashboard by confirming with your passkey. Then your Claude texts quotes, does the work once a client accepts, and sends previews and summaries without you pressing Send, and what it sends is still your responsibility. Flagged texts, questions asking a client to send a file or link, any quote title, preview note or summary with a link, long number or private details, and files from elsewhere on your Mac that aren't clearly that client's still wait for you. Automatic runs use your own Anthropic API key, never a Claude Pro or Max login, and need your Mac awake with Claude Code open. If your texting setup is offline for 24 hours, your account pauses.

### How do I start selling Claude Code services to clients?
The first step is someone who will pay for a specific job, like a website fix, a new section, a short video edit or a simple automation. That can be a client you find yourself or someone who posts a job on konnektsi: posts show on the job board in your dashboard, and Auto find jobs can offer you fitting ones or take them for you, but none are promised. Once someone is your client, they text your handle. konnektsi handles the rest around the work: flat prices per deliverable (defaults from $40.00 for a small edit to $400.00 for a landing page), one folder per client on your Mac, previews they approve, and weekly billing to your own Stripe. There's no commission; the membership is $19 a month. Every text your AI sends is labeled AI.

### What kinds of work can I sell through konnektsi?
You can sell 13 kinds of work: website fixes, design, video editing, copywriting, simple automations, websites and landing pages, apps and tools, data and spreadsheets, writing and editing, research and summaries, social media content, audio, translation, and every quote and job post must fall under one of them. Legal documents, medical, tax or investment advice, credit and loans, insurance, housing, hiring decisions, exam grading, fake reviews, copies of other brands' logos, deepfakes, face or voice swaps and sexual content are blocked. The quote tool refuses a quote when its title, checklist or the client's texts contain a blocked word such as insurance, legal or hiring, so even a plain website fix that mentions one can't be quoted, and a job post with one can't be posted. The check goes by a fixed word list, not by what the work really is, so you're still responsible for turning down blocked work it misses.

### How are jobs priced on konnektsi?
Your Claude prices each job from your price list: a flat price per deliverable, set in the quote and never tied to how much AI the work takes. The defaults are small edit $40, bug fix $75, new section $150, landing page $400, short video $120 and 3 thumbnails $60, plus a small task at $40 and a task at $120 for any other kind of work. If the client asks, the deep tier (more careful, checked twice) adds $50 and a rush adds 50% to the price, and each change after the first included one is $25. You can change all of these prices on your dashboard, and a quote's kill fee, owed only if the client rejects the preview, is at most 50% of the price. For now payments run in Stripe test mode, so no real money moves yet.

### How do I get paid?
Clients pay you directly through your own Stripe account: konnektsi takes no commission, and Stripe's normal fees come out of each payment. Accepting a quote saves the client's card and charges nothing. Approved work, plus any kill fee from a rejected preview, goes on the client's tab, charged to that card about a week after their first request and then weekly when something is owed. Approval is the client's passkey from that quote, or 48 hours with no answer after a preview (24 after a change). Stripe says a new account's first payout typically arrives 7 to 14 days after its first payment, and konnektsi runs in Stripe test mode right now, so no real money moves yet.

### What happens if a client doesn't pay?
If the weekly charge on a client's saved card is declined, they get a text with a pay link, and their work pauses until it's paid. While paused, they can't accept new quotes, konnektsi's tools won't work on their jobs, and a new request from them gets a short reply saying work is paused. They get one reminder about 2 days later, and paying the link unpauses them and saves the card that worked. Files from approved work unlock for download before the weekly charge, so a declined card can leave delivered work unpaid, and konnektsi doesn't collect debts or guarantee payment. Refunds, disputes and chargebacks are between you and your client, on your own Stripe account.

### Is konnektsi a fast way to make money?
No. It isn't built for money this week, and in test mode it can't pay anyone yet. Client work is billed about a week after a client's first request, then weekly, and Stripe says a new account's first payout typically arrives 7 to 14 days after its first payment. If you need money this week, selling things or gig work often pays sooner.

### Is konnektsi an income program or business opportunity?
No. konnektsi is subscription software for people who already do client work. It never sells clients, leads or placement, makes no earnings claims and doesn't promise clients or income. Members work with their own clients as independent businesses, and clients pay them directly through their own Stripe accounts. konnektsi's only revenue is the $19 monthly membership.

### Is konnektsi an AI agency?
No, konnektsi is software, not an agency: it doesn't hire you, promise you work or take a commission. People can post jobs on konnektsi, and you choose whether to take them, or turn on Auto find jobs to have fitting ones offered to you or taken for you. You run your own independent business: you contract with your own clients, set your own prices and get paid directly to your own Stripe account. konnektsi isn't a party to your agreements with clients, and you stand behind every job, including anything your AI sends on autopilot.

### Can I run a one-person AI agency with konnektsi?
Yes, with clients you bring or job posts you take: each konnektsi account is for one person, and you work from your own Mac with your own Claude and your own Stripe account. Your Claude quotes from your price list, does the work in each client's folder and drafts the preview, while konnektsi handles the texts and weekly billing. There's no cap on clients or quotes, and a client can have several people text for them, such as a partner or an assistant. Autopilot is off by default, so you press Send on each quote and preview; with it on, most go out by themselves while your Mac is awake with Claude Code open, but flagged texts and some drafts still wait for you. You stand behind every job, and konnektsi doesn't promise clients or income.

### How is konnektsi different from Upwork or Fiverr?
konnektsi isn't a marketplace like those: there's no bidding, no commission, no lead fees and no directory of members for clients to browse. People can post a job for free, and members take posts from the job board in their dashboard, or let Auto find jobs offer or take fitting ones in turns. The rest covers what happens once someone is your client: requests by text, flat-price quotes from your own list, previews, approvals and weekly billing to your own Stripe. If you met a client on a marketplace, check that marketplace's rules before working with them anywhere else.

### What do I need to start?
You need to be 18 or older and in the US, with a Stripe account you can open in the US and a card for the membership. You also need a Mac whose Messages app gets the texts sent to your number, Claude Code with the konnektsi plugin (in the Claude desktop app or Terminal), Node.js 22.13 or newer, and your own Anthropic API key with a monthly spend limit. Clients text you over iMessage; regular SMS is ignored by default. The setup page walks you through each step and checks it.

### How do I set up konnektsi?
You set it up once on konnektsi's setup page, which walks you through nine steps, one at a time, and checks each one. First you pick your handle, add the konnektsi plugin to Claude Code with two commands, connect it with a one-time setup code, add your Anthropic API key with a monthly spend limit, and turn on Full Disk Access so the plugin can read Messages. Then you text yourself twice from your iPhone as a test, pass the privacy checks (AI training off, feedback prompts off, one folder per client), write your profile and job menu, and answer an eight-question rules check. Last, you accept the draft member terms, add your membership card ($19 a month, starting with your first client payment for approved work), connect Stripe and run a practice job with a test card, all in Stripe test mode for now, so no real money moves. Until all nine pass, texts to your handle never reach your Claude, your profile stays hidden and you can't take job posts.

### Do I need to be a developer?
No, but konnektsi is built for people who already use AI agents like Claude Code. Setup has you run two plugin commands in Claude Code, give it Full Disk Access on your Mac, add an Anthropic API key with a spend limit and connect Stripe. The plugin also needs Node.js 22.13 or newer. The work isn't only code: design, video editing, writing, translation and audio sit alongside website fixes, apps and automations.

### Do I pay anything before I have a paying client?
Not to konnektsi: the $19 monthly membership starts only when a client's first payment for approved work goes through. You add a card during setup, and nothing is charged to it before then. Setup ends with a practice job for a pretend client, where accepting the quote only saves a card. You do pay for your own AI: automatic runs use your own Anthropic API key, and Anthropic bills you for that usage even on requests that never turn into paid work. For now payments run in Stripe test mode, so no real money moves through konnektsi yet.

### How much will the AI cost me per job on konnektsi?
It depends on the work, but konnektsi caps what each automatic run can spend on your own Anthropic API key: about half the job's price for the run that does the work and for each change run, at least $5 and at most $100. Quoting runs are capped at $3, a run that restarts after you allow a file at $15, and the short run that rates how the client felt after a job at $1. One job can use several runs, and a failed run can be retried once with its full cap, so a job's total can be more than half its price. Each run's log on your Mac ends with roughly what it spent, and setup has you set a monthly spend limit on the key in the Claude Console. Work you do yourself in your own Claude session isn't capped by konnektsi.

### Does konnektsi use my Claude Pro or Max subscription?
Not for its automatic runs. The runs that answer client texts on their own use only your own Anthropic API key, which you paste once into a box the plugin opens on your Mac, and the key stays there. konnektsi stops any run that reports a different credential, never sees your key, and asks you to set a monthly spend limit on it in the Claude Console. Anthropic bills that usage to you. If you work on a job yourself in your own Claude session, that session uses whatever account you're signed in with.

### Does konnektsi resell Claude or AI access?
No, konnektsi doesn't sell, resell or mark up access to Claude or any other AI, and it never pays for your AI use. Automatic runs use your own Anthropic API key, so Anthropic bills that usage to you under its Commercial Terms and Usage Policy, which the member terms ask you to follow. What you sell clients is finished work at flat prices per deliverable, never tied to how much AI it takes. Every text your AI sends is labeled AI, and the first one in a while says it's an AI assistant. konnektsi isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

### Which AIs work with konnektsi?
Claude only. Client work runs in Claude Code, in Terminal or the Claude desktop app, on your Mac, through the konnektsi plugin. Other AI tools aren't supported.

### Which messaging apps does konnektsi work with?
Only Apple's Messages app: clients text you over iMessage, and the konnektsi plugin reads those texts and sends replies through Messages on your Mac. WhatsApp and other chat apps aren't supported, and texts that arrive as SMS (green bubbles), like those from Android phones, are ignored by default, though a STOP sent that way still turns texts off. A request starts with a one-to-one text that begins with your handle, from a client you added, and group chats never count. There's no separate business number, so clients text the number or Apple ID email your Messages app already uses, and replies are signed -@yourhandle (AI).

### Do my clients need an app?
No. On iMessage they text your handle in the chat they already have with you, and tap a link to accept a quote or approve a preview.

### How many clients can I handle with konnektsi, and how are they kept apart?
There's no cap on how many clients you add or quotes you send, though automatic runs go one at a time, in order. Each client has their own folder on your Mac, named after them in ~/konnektsi, plus any project folders you link, and konnektsi's tools only run in that client's folders. A folder can belong to only one client, and each client has their own tab and saved card. Each client's texts to your AI are capped at 20 in 24 hours, and any more are dropped without showing on your dashboard. After 60 texts to your AI in 24 hours across all your clients, new ones still show on your dashboard but don't alert your Claude or start an automatic run.

### Is it safe to let my AI handle client requests through konnektsi?
konnektsi puts several guards between client texts and your Mac, but none is perfect, and you stand behind what your AI does. Only texts from your one-to-one chats with clients you added, and job posts you take, reach your Claude. Requests and posts that look like attempts to steer the AI, ask for keys or run commands are flagged: flagged requests get no automatic runs or replies, and flagged posts are never taken automatically. Automatic runs get konnektsi's tools but none of your other plugins, connectors or personal instructions, their shell commands are sandboxed with no internet, and each run has an AI spend cap. Each client folder's settings also deny reading SSH keys, cloud credentials, the keychain, browser cookies, Messages and .env files. No konnektsi tool moves money or approves work, and with autopilot off, quotes, previews and summaries wait for your Send, though simple questions can go out on their own.

### Does konnektsi read all my texts?
No: the konnektsi plugin on your Mac only reads your one-to-one chats with the clients (and people on their teams) you added, plus texts from your own number during setup's texting test, never group chats or anyone else's texts. From those, it passes to konnektsi only texts that start with your handle, opt-out replies like STOP and a client's first reply within 24 hours of a question your AI asked, and it saves photos or files sent with a request in that client's folder. When a client sends a request, chat context (on unless you turn it off) also writes their last week of one-to-one texts with you, up to 40, to a file on your Mac, with anything that looks like a card number, an SSN or "password: ..." blanked. That file isn't sent to konnektsi, but your AI provider processes it when your AI reads it.

### How does my AI get access to a client's website or files through konnektsi?
Through that client's folders on your Mac, not their logins: each client has their own folder, and konnektsi's tools only run in that client's folders. Photos, videos and documents a client texts with a request are saved in their main folder, and you can link other project folders to that client, like their website project. If a client texts something like "password: ...", konnektsi blanks it before your AI sees it, and its rules have you ask for a collaborator invite instead of using a texted password. konnektsi tells your AI to work on a copy or staging version and leave the live change to you after the client approves. Your AI can also find past work on your Mac and copy it into the client's folder, but in automatic runs, files that aren't clearly that client's wait for you to allow them.

### How is my konnektsi account protected, and what if a device is lost?
Your konnektsi account uses passkeys instead of passwords, and you can add a passkey on another device and make eight one-time recovery codes. If a phone or Mac is lost, the Lock everything button on your dashboard signs you out everywhere, removes your passkeys, disconnects your Claude and the texting plugin, and cancels every job not yet approved, while approved work and kill fees still get billed. Locking needs an unused recovery code, because that's how you sign back in (recovery allows five wrong tries an hour); then you save a new passkey, unlock, and make a new setup code to reconnect your Claude. The lock doesn't touch your Anthropic API key, which stays on your Mac and is never sent to konnektsi, so if the Mac is lost, revoke that key in the Claude Console too.

### How do reviews and profiles work on konnektsi?
Only clients who paid for a job can review you, and those reviews show on your public profile at konnektsi.com/p/yourhandle. Each review is confirmed with the passkey the client saved when accepting that quote, and only one review per client counts. The profile goes up once all nine setup steps pass and also shows your profile text, job menu, niches, prices, demos, on-time record and the Claude setup your Mac reports, which you can hide. A separate Client feedback section shows short summaries your own Claude writes from what clients texted after a job, so it isn't an independent rating. konnektsi has no directory of members, so you share the link yourself. While you're taking work, your profile also has a Post a job button, and a post made there goes to you first. The member terms bar you from writing, buying or editing reviews.

### Is it live?
Not for real money yet. Sign-ups are open, but payments run in Stripe test mode, so no real money moves, and the terms are drafts pending attorney review. It's US only, and konnektsi isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
