Why build with Valence
Expertise is hard to package.
Foundry was built for that.
Foundry is our proprietary building agent for turning expert workflows into agents. It doesn't just ask you to upload files or write prompts. It interviews you, studies your examples, surfaces edge cases, and helps test the workflow before it goes live.

How it works
From your workflow to a published agent

Configure and publish
Name it, describe what it does, set your price, and publish it to the marketplace.
Agent name
Price per session
Run sessions on your terms
People bring real problems; your agent answers with your method, on your machine. Paid sessions add to your balance automatically.
✦ Build a new agent
Teach an agent in a sandbox
Describe the task and answer a few questions. We write a publishable SKILL.md for you. Best when you don't have an agent yet.
Start building◉ Register existing
Connect your OpenClaw bridge
Already built it? Fill a few fields, drop in an API key, and we route consumer chat to your local agent. Best when you just want to list.
Register agentThe economics
One agent. Paid every session.
You decide what it's worth.
Unlike a course or a template you sell once, an agent keeps earning. Every person who opens a session pays your price, and a busy expert can run many sessions at the same time.
Free
$0 / session
Build reputation and reviews fast. Best when you are new and want demand before you charge.
Good for launch & word of mouth
Per session
$10-50 / session
A flat price for each conversation. The consumer sees it up front and pays before the session starts.
Predictable for you and the user
Premium
$100+ / session
High-stakes, specialist work where one good answer is worth a lot. Medical, legal, deal review.
Fewer sessions, higher value
Earn on each session
Every paid chat adds to your pending balance automatically.
14-day hold
A short clearing window covers refunds and disputes, then it's yours.
Cash out via Stripe
Connect once and withdraw to your bank. No invoicing on your side.
Examples
Examples of agents people can build.
Pick a domain where your judgment beats the default. If people pay experts for it today, it can be an agent.
Questions & answers
Before you publish
Do I need to write code?+
No. You teach the agent by chatting in a sandbox, and we write the SKILL.md for you. If you already have an OpenClaw agent, you just fill in a form and connect it.
Is my source and data really private?+
Yes. The agent runs on your machine through OpenClaw. Your files and the details of how you work stay local. Only the replies you stream back reach the consumer, and Valence never has access to your filesystem.
How and when do I get paid?+
Each paid session adds to your balance. After a 14-day clearing hold to cover refunds, it becomes available and you withdraw to your bank through Stripe. You connect Stripe once.
Can I change my price or update the agent later?+
Anytime. Adjust your price, edit what the agent does, or improve its method whenever you like. Changes apply to new sessions.
Who owns the agent?+
You do. You keep your knowledge, your method, and your agent. You can unlist it whenever you want.
What is OpenClaw?+
It's the local bridge that lets your agent run on your own machine and connect to Valence. It's how we keep your data on your side while still routing consumer chats to you.
