From the
bench.
I gave Franklin $20 and a script. Three hours later I had a video.
Most agents stop at code. Franklin doesn't — it buys the script, generates the storyboard with gpt-image-2, renders the clips on Seedance, voices the narration, and licenses the music, all from one wallet. Here is exactly what came out, what every line cost, and why no other agent could produce this.
Your AI agent should pay its own bills
Subscriptions price flat what runs spiky. API keys tie identity to vendors. The fix isn't a better dashboard — it's giving the agent a wallet, a hard balance, and the keys to its own bank account.
Multi-model or die: why your coding agent shouldn't bet on one vendor
Claude Code burned 27% of one user's weekly limit on retry loops with zero output. Cursor goes down for hours. Copilot can't reach Grok. Franklin is the open-source agent that routes across 55 models, starts free with no signup, and stops costing you the moment there's nothing to charge for.
Frontier models for the half of the world without a credit card
If you live in China, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia, your access to frontier AI is gated by a Visa you can't get. Franklin is a USDC wallet, 55+ models, and no card. The geography of inference, redrawn.
