Runable cheat sheet: how to brief the agent, answer its questions, read the plan and budget credits

Runable is an AI agent: describe the finished work, answer its questions, approve its plan, check the result. From the free Jump Start: Runable course (Free plan, October 2026).

## The four-part brief

1. **Goal**: what should exist when it is done (a one-page plan, a 6-slide deck, a one-page website).
2. **Who it is for**: who reads or uses it (a lender, a client, candle buyers at a market).
3. **Format and sections, in order**: list them. Name the file or deck.
4. **Limits**: budget, length, colours, what to leave out (no database, one page, mark every assumption).

## Its questions, then its plan

- Runable asks before it builds (**Next**, **Skip**, or type an answer). Answer anything about money, promises or your brand yourself; Skip only what doesn't matter.
- Then it writes a one-paragraph plan. Read it against the brief: sections, look, what it leaves out. Pick **Yes, build it** only when it matches; otherwise **Adjust the plan**.
- Fixing a plan takes a sentence; fixing a finished site takes another day of credits.
- To change a result, ask in the chat first: say exactly what is wrong and ask it to show the math.

## What jobs cost on the Free plan (our runs, October 2026)

**Daily allowance**

**1,500** credits a day, 15,000 a month; the top-right pill shows what is left.

**Business plan (Report template) + 1 fix**

**14**

**6-slide proposal deck (Slides) + 1 edit**

**about 200**

**5-slide Instagram carousel + 1 fix**

**about 450** (each image page is a paid render)

**Market brief, 205 sources + 1 follow-up**

**562**

**One-page website (Websites)**

**841 over two days**: start it with a full 1,500

## Check before you trust it

- **Sources**: open two or three. A citation shows where to look; it doesn't prove the number. Ask "which numbers are estimates?"
- **Math**: divide the three numbers that drive the document yourself (cost per unit, price, quantity). Ours said $9 a candle; its own budget said $16.67.
- **Images**: zoom in on every slide. Image models draw letters as pictures; ours read HARBOR & PIN2.
- **Privacy**: keep customer details and confidential files out of briefs; practise with fake data.

**Remember:** Check the credits pill, then brief, then read the plan before saying yes. Start the big jobs (research, carousels, websites) with a full day of credits.
