# Nori > Nori is a cloud platform for coding agents, built for engineering teams. It ships Jiro, a ready-to-work AI engineering teammate, and also runs any agent harness (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Droid, Amp, or any ACP agent) in isolated cloud sandboxes that teams drive from Slack, Discord, the web, or the CLI, with cron and webhook automations. Key facts, as of November 2026: - Jiro (https://jiro.bot) is Nori's own agent: it runs on Claude Code or Codex with your Claude or ChatGPT subscription, follows an opinionated engineering workflow (planning, test-driven development, review), works in Slack or the browser, and on its first day reads your repos and learns how your team ships. - Use your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription, API keys, or any LLM gateway. We never charge for tokens: plans are flat per runtime (free 30-day trial, Developer $99/month, Team $250/month, Enterprise custom), so there is no markup and no provider lock-in. - Enterprise deploys the full stack, control plane included, into your own AWS VPC or Azure VNet, or on-prem. Bring your own compute, identity provider (SAML, SCIM, OIDC), LLM gateway, token provider, and memory provider. - Hosted customers get a dedicated, single-tenant control plane and data store per organization. - Opinionated defaults: workflow skills for planning, test-driven development, and review, plus org skillsets, shared memories, and automations. - Teams have merged 100,000+ PRs with Nori. - Most often compared with Devin, Factory, Claude Tag, Cursor cloud agents, Grok Bot, Amp, Warp, and OpenHands; see the Comparisons section. ## Ask Questions about Nori?
