What Whet is

Whet is a web research workbench you sign up for in your browser. You wire the public sources you care about (Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News, RSS, any public URL), Whet pulls new items on a schedule, runs each through a managed LLM that scores and summarizes what moved, and lands the daily signal in front of you before you log in. From there you draft, export or fire a webhook downstream.

The default surface is the web app. The Pro tier unlocks a Desktop add-on with the same workbench, plus BYOK (bring your own LLM key), BYOA (delegate to a local agent CLI), local filesystem access and an MCP server. Web-first means anyone can be running their first daily digest in five minutes; desktop is for power users who outgrow the web caps or who want their LLM workload to stay on their own machine.

What we believe

We sell orchestration, not tokens. The LLM is input commodity. The product is the sources, the schedule, the scoring, the alerts and the draft loop around them.
Every action a human can take, an agent can take too. The Pro tier ships a CLI and an MCP server next to the workbench, same contract and same auth. Agent-native is not a feature, it is the shape of the product.
Decoding patterns is not copying posts. A Whet pipeline produces a brief, a metric dashboard or a draft grounded in your own voice, not a reword of someone else's content.
Free should be free, paid should be honest. Free covers two active sources and a hundred LLM analyses a month, for personal use, on managed infrastructure. Basic adds the commercial license. Pro lifts the caps and unlocks the Desktop add-on.

The model

Whet is a self-serve SaaS. You sign up in your browser, hit the Free tier, add a source, see the first digest the next morning. Upgrade to Basic or Pro from inside the app when ready.

Commercially there are four tiers: Free ($0, personal use, 2 sources, 100 analyses / month), Basic ($9/mo, commercial license, 5 sources, 1,000 analyses / month), Pro ($29/mo, 15 sources on web with 5,000 analyses, plus the Desktop add-on with BYOK or BYOA where every cap disappears) and Team (contact-sales, opens after Pro has real traction). The pricing page has the full catalog and compare table. Legal positioning covers the operating model in detail.

Who built this

Whet is built by Migue San Martin, an independent operator who spent too many midnights reverse-engineering threads by hand and decided the system he wished existed should ship as a product anyone in his position can sign up to.

Whet is operated as a small studio engagement under Crewtives, the studio behind the product. There is no fundraising deck, no anonymous "we" that becomes a team of fifty next quarter, no plans to pivot off web-first. If that changes we will say so on this page first.

What is coming

The roadmap is shaped by paying customers, not by what would look good in a pitch deck. The two obligations we have made publicly so far:

More sources in the catalog. Free covers the current five with two active at once; Basic five active; Pro fifteen. New adapters land on the Pro tier as we add them and roll down.
BYOK and BYOA on Desktop. The Pro Desktop add-on lets you bring your own LLM key (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI) or delegate to a local agent CLI (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). Caps disappear because we are no longer carrying the cost.

Talk to us

The fastest way to try Whet is to sign up for Free: no card, two sources, a hundred analyses for the month. If you are sizing Pro, Team or a custom integration, book a 15-minute call. The public docs cover the platform, the source catalog, the CLI and the MCP server in detail.
