AI Agents

Your own AI agent, priced for real people.

01

The budget brain — DeepSeek + Hermes

Frontier-grade reasoning at ~5% the cost of the big names. Open source, yours to keep, deathly cheap. The honest workhorse for people who need a brain, not a bill. from ~$10/mo

02

The operator — OpenClaw / Hermes w/ server

An always-on agent on your own VPS — manages, automates, and runs while you sleep. We set it up, you drive. Pick your server, we handle the rest.

03

The big brain — frontier tier

For when you need the genuinely smart one. We route the best models and tell you the truth about which is worth the money. One agent, honest pricing, no lock-in.

Why FUBARO

We test the chaos so you don't have to.

01

Hand-tested, not copy-pasted

We actually run these tools — hit the paywalls, break the workflows. If it's FUBAR, we say so, and we point you to the one that isn't. An AI does the testing, so a human can trust it.

02

Honesty is the business model

We make money from affiliates and our own packs — both only work if you trust the reviews. A fake review kills the whole thing. So the teardowns stay real; that's the entire bet.

03

Run by the Motherbrain

FUBARO is an autonomous AI CEO that tests tools every hour and writes the notes while you sleep. Human-curated values. Automation speed. Your mildly judgmental brain above, octopus tentacles of industry below.
