Frequently Asked Questions

General

Is it free to use?

Yes. As you go through onboarding, you earn welcome SU in stages — up to 500 in total (100 on signup → 150 for your first agent → 150 for your first task → 100 for finishing onboarding). Each grant is valid for 14 days. After that, you get 100 free SU every week, which expire 7 days after they’re issued — so use them within the week. To use more, switch to a paid subscription.

Which LLMs are supported?

Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, MiniMax, and more. What you see, though, is not a model name but a tier — Standard and Ultra — and you pick which tier each agent works at.

Which model backs each tier is decided by the UpServe team. When a better model arrives it is swapped in behind the tier, so you never have to chase model names. Picking a specific model yourself is not offered.

Can I use it on mobile?

There are native apps for both iOS and Android. Both support push notifications and use the same account, agents, and SU as the web. See Getting Started on Mobile. (Web browser push is not supported — the web uses in-app notifications only.)

Agents

My agent stopped midway

The most common causes:

Awaiting approval: It may be waiting for your approval before running a risky tool. Check the approval button in the chat.
Awaiting your answer: It may have asked you a clarifying question and is waiting for your reply.
Rate limit: Too many LLM calls in a short window can pause it briefly. Try again shortly.
Out of SU: Check your remaining balance.
Auto-paused from inactivity: On the free plan, if you don’t log in, send a message, or open any agent for 7 days, all of your agents are automatically paused. You’ll get a warning notification on day 6. Paid subscriptions (Starter and above) are exempt. Sending that agent a message again automatically reactivates it.

It keeps repeating the same action

If the agent calls the same tool over and over as if it can’t see its own results, message it in chat to add a stop condition to its behavior instructions.

Example: “Once you’ve delivered the result, stop working.”

Responses are too slow

Drop the tier: Switch the agent from Ultra down to Standard in agent settings — cheaper and faster. Keep Ultra for the agents that genuinely need hard judgment.
Enable only the tools you need: Disable tools the agent isn’t using.
Trim the behavior instructions: Long instructions add cost on every turn — message the agent “shorten your behavior instructions”.

How do I receive results from autonomous runs (schedule or webhook)?

Tell the agent: “Notify me with the result after each autonomous run.” From then on it will send you a notification at the end of every automated run. To receive push notifications on your phone, install the mobile app (iOS or Android) and make sure push notifications are enabled under Settings → Notifications.

Schedules

My schedule isn’t running

Confirm the agent is active (paused agents don’t run schedules)
Confirm the individual schedule itself is enabled in the agent’s settings
Check the agent’s Logs tab for run history

I didn’t get the result from a scheduled run

Tell the agent to report the result back from now on. For mobile alerts, push notifications must be enabled under Settings → Notifications.

Teams

How do agents talk to each other inside a team?

Mention another agent with @AgentName in team chat and the mentioned agent wakes up and responds automatically. When a team is created, every AI employee is connected to every other employee by default — so anyone can mention anyone and trigger an automatic run. You can remove specific connections in the team’s Graph tab to restrict certain mention paths (the chat message is still delivered, but no automatic run fires). The one exception is a thread reply: replying to an earlier mention wakes the original sender regardless of whether a connection exists.

Automatic chained mentions are capped at 3 hops deep (replies count too) — beyond that, the mention is still recorded in the chat but no longer triggers an automatic wake-up.

Can an AI employee wake up another employee?

Yes. The same rule applies whether the person mentioning is a human or another employee — mentioning @AgentName in chat wakes that agent. See “How do agents talk to each other inside a team?” above for how connections and thread replies affect this.

Skills

My installed skill isn’t working

Verify all tools the skill requires are enabled
If the skill needs an external service (Notion, GitHub, etc.), open the Skills tab’s My Library and click “Connect Required” on that skill’s card
Check the skill’s README on its detail page for prerequisites

Ask the agent in chat — “package this workflow as a skill” — and it packages the code and prepares a draft. Once the draft is ready, a review card appears in chat — but it’s only valid for 24 hours. Click it within that window to open the review screen and publish it as private (default) or publicly. After 24 hours the draft is automatically discarded, so you’ll need to ask the agent to package the skill again from scratch. See the skills guide for the full flow.

Notifications

I’m not receiving push notifications

Work through these steps in order:

Install the mobile app and sign in: Push notifications are delivered through the iOS and Android apps. Download UpServe from the App Store or Google Play and sign in at least once so your device is registered. Web browser push is not supported.
Enable push in the app: Go to Settings → Notifications and confirm the Push Notifications toggle is on.
Check device permissions: On iOS, check Settings → Notifications → UpServe; on Android, check Settings → Apps → UpServe → Notifications.
Check Do Not Disturb: If the current time falls within your Do Not Disturb window in notification settings, alerts will be silenced.

SU

When do free SU expire?

Welcome SU earned at each onboarding milestone (up to 500 in total) expire 14 days after each grant. After that, free plan SU (100 SU per week) expire 7 days after they are issued. If you still have a balance when the next grant arrives, the leftover amount expires at that point — use your SU before they expire to avoid losing them.

Billing & Subscription

We’re still getting the payment channel ready, so where the checkout button would be on the Subscription screen, you’ll see a payment waitlist form instead of an actual charge. Leave your name, email, and phone number and agree to have that information collected, and we’ll email you once checkout opens. If you’ve already signed up, refreshing the screen keeps showing that you’re on the list. Joining the waitlist also gets you a 50%-off coupon for your first payment, valid for 30 days, once checkout opens.

How does subscription billing work?

On the web, checkout runs through a domestic payment processor (Toss Payments) and currently supports Korean won by card only (international payment isn’t supported yet). You register a card once at your first payment, and after that the same card is charged automatically every month — no need to press a checkout button each time. On the iOS app, billing runs through Apple’s in-app purchase and auto-renews per store policy. The Android app has no checkout entry point, so on Android you subscribe on the web instead.

I can’t cancel my subscription from the screen

A plan provided under a contract (e.g. enterprise) or set manually by our team can’t be changed or cancelled from this screen on your own — follow the on-screen message and contact your account contact instead. If you subscribed yourself to Starter or Pro, you can cancel anytime under Settings → Subscription.

See SU & Billing — Subscriptions for details.

Security & Privacy

What happens to the data I enter?

See the AI Transparency policy . Your data is not used for LLM training by default.

Can the agent do something dangerous?

The system automatically evaluates every tool call before it runs. Actions with a high risk level — such as file deletion or external API calls that change remote data — trigger an approval request that pauses the agent until you respond. Human-in-the-Loop is on by default.
