Overview

Giselle is a hosted studio for building AI agents by dragging components together rather than writing code. Agents connect to GitHub, PostgreSQL data stores and vector stores for context, run against models from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI, and can be triggered automatically for tasks such as PR review, PRD drafting and documentation updates.

Best for: Small product and engineering teams automating research, PR reviews and docs without writing code.
Pricing: Free plan with 30 minutes of model usage and a self-hosted open-source option, then Pro at $20/month including $20 of AI credits, with a Team plan at $100/month listed as coming soon.
