Pricing
AINL is open-core. We sell the operational layer.
The AINL language, compiler, reference runtime, and core adapters are free to use under the repo's open-source licenses. Commercial offerings add guarantees where it matters: governance, managed runtimes, enterprise integrations, and expert support.
Open Core — free to use
Everything you need to adopt AINL as a workflow language is free:
- • Language spec, grammar, and IR/graph schemas
- • Compiler and reference runtime engine
- • Core adapters (HTTP, SQLite, filesystem, tools, cache, etc.)
- • CLI and baseline developer tooling
- • Core docs, examples, and golden curriculum
- • Basic policy validator and health envelope schema
These surfaces stay open so AINL can be a portable, trustworthy standard. You can build internal tooling, forks, and runtimes on top of them subject to the licenses in `LICENSE`, `MODEL_LICENSE.md`, and `LICENSE.docs` where applicable.
Commercial — coming soon
On top of the open core, we plan to offer paid subscriptions and enterprise packages for teams that want:
- • Hosted / managed AINL runtimes
- • Managed alignment and evaluation pipelines
- • Governance, audit, and compliance tooling
- • Premium adapters, modules, and integrations
- • SLA-backed support and onboarding
- • Consulting, training, and implementation reviews
These offerings will be governed by separate commercial terms and do not change the scope of the open-core licenses.
Planned commercial packages
Managed Platform
Hosted AINL runtime, managed alignment pipeline, and ops dashboard built on the standardized health envelope — with SLAs and run health visibility.
Enterprise Governance
Governance and audit suite, deployment kits, premium connectors, and supported ops monitor packs for teams that need "who can do what" and compliance answers.
Expert Services
SLA-backed support, implementation reviews, training, and consulting to help you ship AINL into real systems with confidence.
Exact pricing, SKUs, and contractual terms will be published when these offerings launch. Today, everything in the public repository remains open-core as described in the project's licensing and commercial docs.
What you can do today
- • Use the open-core AINL compiler, runtime, adapters, and docs in your own projects under the terms of the licenses in this repo.
- • Build internal tooling, automations, and agents that compile and run AINL programs.
- • Deploy AINL in your own infrastructure, including production, without a separate commercial agreement.
What is reserved for commercial terms
- • Any future hosted/managed AINL services, premium adapters, dashboards, or enterprise modules we operate for you.
- • SLA-backed support, onboarding, certification, and consulting packages.
- • Use of AINL trademarks and branding in a way that implies official partnership, certification, or OEM status.
Open-core code is licensed, not sold. Using AINL from this repository does not, by itself, grant rights to any separate proprietary modules, hosted services, or commercial support programs.
