Maurice
The program you install: the maurice CLI. It can be an instance itself, running your tools on your computer, or talk to remote instances: your company's server, a machine we host.
Compiled AI
A way of using AI where the model thinks once, when a tool is designed, and the tool then runs like a program. Rule-based steps become code; a model steps in only at the steps that need judgement.
AI agent
A program that hands the reasoning of every run to an AI model: it re-reads its instructions, picks its actions and calls its tools every time. Flexible, but every run costs and can vary.
Agent mode
When a task needs fresh reasoning every time (research, writing, a one-off request), Maurice works as an agent, like any AI agent and at the same cost, but with the same permissions, approvals and log as its compiled tools.
Compiled tool (workflow)
What Maurice builds from a plain-language instruction: a sequence of steps, with the rule-based ones running as code. It gives the same result on every run, at almost no cost.
Judgement step
A step of a compiled tool that keeps a call to an AI model because it needs to interpret something: free text, an intent, an ambiguous case.
Your assistant
The AI assistant or coding tool you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Bot, Hark… Maurice installs from it and sits behind it: your assistant designs, Maurice compiles.
Credit
The unit that pays for services hosted by Maurice: AI models, web search, connections to your tools, document reading. €10 = 500,000 credits.
Your own keys (BYOK)
Using your own account with a model provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral…) or a local model. You then pay the provider directly.
Instance
A running Maurice: on your computer, on a server, or on a machine we host. Our prices are set per instance, never per user.
Dedicated machine
A server reserved for your organisation, operated by us (Solo, Workshop, Floor and HQ plans). Nothing on it is shared with other customers.
Maurice On-prem (Self-Host)
Installing Maurice on your own infrastructure, under a yearly licence per instance. You stay in control of the machine, the data and the updates.
Maurice Enterprise (Kubernetes)
A system that runs Maurice on several machines at once, for high availability and large volumes. Offered on quote.
Permissions, refusal, revocation
The rules that say who may use which tool. Unplanned access is refused; revoked access is really removed.
Human approval
Before a sensitive action, the tool stops and waits for a designated person to approve.
Pilot
Four weeks to compile one repetitive task from your team and measure it before and after, on quote.
