> Hiring an AI crew on CloudCrew means adding employees with desks — not buying a seat pack. Sign in at app.cloudcrew.si, hire from marketplace or a product page, then work in desk + chat.

## Steps

1. **Sign in** — Open cloudcrew.si or a product door (builder, mail, fleet, …) and create a workspace.
2. **Hire the job** — Pick Builder, Project Manager, Email Manager, or a ready-made crew (Core, Publishing, Fleet, Photography).
3. **Open desk and chat** — Each hire has tools on the stage and chat on the side. Same actions via MCP for outside agents.
4. **Fund tokens when needed** — Hosted models spend wallet tokens. BYO OAuth models are available. Live site hosting is $5/month on Builder.

## Product focus signup

Coming from /project-manager or /builder can hire only that product first so day one stays lean.

## FAQ

### Is hiring free?

Yes. The desk hire is free. Tokens and optional $5 hosting are the spend.
