Question 1

What is the cheapest AI agent platform in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Conduet is the cheapest AI agent platform in Australia. It has a genuinely free tier (A$0/mo forever), and paid plans start at A$29/mo. From Pro upwards (A$49/mo) you can bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys (BYOK) and pay the vendor directly with zero markup. This makes Conduet 5–10× cheaper than Voiceflow, Botpress, Intercom Fin or Chatbase for most customers.

Question 2

What does BYOK mean in Conduet?

Accepted Answer

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) means you add your own OpenAI and Anthropic API keys to Conduet. Your agents run on your LLM account and you are billed directly by OpenAI/Anthropic for token usage. BYOK is available on Conduet Pro (A$49/mo) and Scale (A$149/mo). Free and Starter run on included platform tokens. Conduet charges a flat AUD software fee — no per-conversation, per-message or LLM markup.

Question 3

Is Conduet an Australian company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Conduet is built in Melbourne, Australia. The team, support, and platform development are all Australian. Pricing is in AUD and the platform is designed for Australian businesses, small agencies, and in-house teams.

Question 4

Which LLMs does Conduet support?

Accepted Answer

Conduet supports all OpenAI models (GPT-5.4, GPT-5.1, GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, o3, o4), all Anthropic Claude models (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku across 3.5, 3.7, 4, 4.5, 4.6), plus embedding models for RAG. You choose the model per agent step, and on Pro and Scale you can bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic keys.

Question 5

Can I deploy Conduet agents to WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Conduet supports web chat (embeddable widget), WhatsApp Business, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs and WeChat. Build the agent once on the visual canvas and deploy to every channel from the same project.

Question 6

How much does Conduet cost compared to Voiceflow?

Accepted Answer

Voiceflow starts at US$50/mo (around A$77/mo) with LLM usage charged on top. Conduet is free to start, Starter is A$29/mo, and Pro is A$49/mo with BYOK — so you pay the LLM vendor directly with no markup. For a team running moderate volume, Conduet is typically 60–80% cheaper total cost of ownership.

Question 7

Is there a free AI agent builder in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Conduet has a free forever plan with 1 project, 500 messages/month, all deployment channels, and platform LLM tokens included. No credit card required to start. BYOK (bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic keys) is available from Pro (A$49/mo).

Question 8

Can Conduet replace Intercom Fin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Intercom Fin charges around US$0.99 per resolution, which can add up to thousands per month. Conduet has a flat subscription (A$0–A$149/mo) with BYOK on Pro and Scale, so your cost is predictable regardless of volume. Conduet also includes multi-channel deployment, visual workflow editing and a full knowledge base.

Question 9

Does Conduet support RAG and knowledge bases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Conduet includes a full knowledge base with document ingestion (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, URLs, sitemaps), automatic chunking, vector embeddings via pgvector, and semantic search (RAG) available from any agent step.

Question 10

Where is Conduet data stored?

Accepted Answer

Conduet is hosted on infrastructure in Australia with options for data residency. Project data, conversations, and knowledge base documents stay within Australia on paid plans. BYOK means LLM calls go directly from Conduet servers to your OpenAI or Anthropic account.
