Question 1

How much does Volt26 do on its own, versus just recommending?

Accepted Answer

Volt26 agents do real work, not just advice. In conversation they act, saving research, capturing ideas and drafting campaigns, and overnight the team reviews your signals and business numbers on a schedule and queues proposed work for your morning sign-off. Every action is logged to an audit ledger: low-stakes work executes on its own, and anything costly or outward-facing waits for your explicit Authorize. External actions (email, ads, integrations) are the next stage of the same spine, behind the same gate. You set the dial per agent and per project; on the Starter plan every email or post waits for your OK, and every tier above gets the full autonomy dial.

Question 2

Where is Volt26 customer data stored?

Accepted Answer

Customer data at rest is stored in AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney, Australia) in a Supabase-managed Postgres database. Application delivery runs through Vercel's global CDN, but all persistent reads and writes resolve to the Sydney database. The full sub-processor list is published at volt26.ai/subprocessors.

Question 3

Is my data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Volt26 does not use your inputs or outputs to train any AI model, and Anthropic, Volt26's sole AI provider, does not train on API customer data. Volt26 calls Anthropic's Claude models directly with no AI broker or middleware in between.

Question 4

What security controls does Volt26 have?

Accepted Answer

Every organisation is isolated with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security enforced at the database layer. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Direct database access is allow-listed, and any support impersonation is recorded to an append-only audit log. Volt26 publishes a live list of controls still maturing at volt26.ai/trust.

Question 5

What happens to my data if I leave Volt26?

Accepted Answer

Your data is yours. Ask and we export your organisation's data in full (self-serve export is on the roadmap), and organisation data is deleted within 60 days of termination.

Question 6

Could I just assemble this myself with Claude and a few agents?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and some founders should. Claude gives you skills, schedules and webhooks, which is most of the raw material. What you would be taking on is the assembly: deciding the roles, writing and maintaining the prompts, plumbing your business data into every call, deciding what each agent may do unattended, building the approval step and the audit trail, and keeping the whole thing running while you also run your company. Volt26 is that assembly, kept up to date, with a bill you can predict.

Question 7

Does every Volt26 customer get the same advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Volt26 agents work from your organisation's vault, where every conversation, research run, and decision is stored, not from generic best practice. Two founders asking the same question get different answers because their context differs, and recommendations keep diverging the longer you use it. This compounding memory is Volt26's core design.

Question 8

What does one action buy, and what does it cost you?

Accepted Answer

One action is one agent turn: a question answered in the room, a signal read, an idea captured. Heavier jobs are charged as a bundle of actions so the number stays predictable: a play is 5, a deep business audit 20, a prototype 20, a full six-agent research run 30. Starter includes 250 actions a month, Founder 1,500, and extra packs are 100 for $10, 500 for $45 or 1,000 for $80. What those cost us in model time, measured on the last 30 days: a plain turn 3 to 5 cents, a Board meeting about 21 cents, a research run about 34 cents at the median. We publish that because almost nobody in this category says what a credit actually buys. A reply cut short at the length limit is flagged on the message and you can ask for the rest.
