# Primary > An AI agent that takes the task off your plate and handles it end-to-end. Email, calendar, research, calls. Private. 24/7. No prompting required. Primary is a personal AI agent for solo professionals, executives, and prosumers. Unlike chat products like ChatGPT or Claude that you converse with, Primary takes action. It has its own phone number for incoming and outgoing calls and SMS, reads and sends from your real email account over IMAP/SMTP, runs scheduled routines on cron, and drives a real browser. Computer Use (controlling your full desktop end-to-end) is in private beta on Pro and Ultimate, shipping soon. The product is private by architecture, not just by policy. Primary cannot read your data, never trains on your conversations, and offers an optional local-first desktop app on Pro and Ultimate plans. Compute runs on dedicated GPU infrastructure (Qwen 3-4B fast tier, Qwen 3.5-35B deep tier with extended thinking). Pricing: $19.99/month Starter, $99.97/month Pro (most popular), $199.97/month Ultimate. 7-day free trial on every plan, no credit card required to start. Cancel anytime. The single line that describes the brand: "Send it to Primary." ## Product - [Home](https://primary.net/): Hero, capabilities, comparison, pricing teaser - [Product](https://primary.net/product): Deep capability tour — email, calendar, phone, browser, files, routines, agents - [Pricing](https://primary.net/pricing): Three plans starting at $19.99/month, full feature comparison - [Security](https://primary.net/security): Privacy-by-architecture, threat model, encryption details - [Sign up](https://primary.net/signup): 7-day free trial, no credit card ## Compare - [vs ChatGPT](https://primary.net/vs/chatgpt): ChatGPT chats.
