Does it need my computer at all?

No. Runs execute in an isolated workspace on the fleet.

Can I use my own model key for the scheduled runs?

Yes. Runs on your key go to your vendor at their price.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Free needs no card. When Free is full you can join the list or start Founder with 14 days free.

Can I bring my own API key?

Yes, on every plan. Runs on your key go to your vendor at their price. We add nothing, and your key never hits a usage limit.

Schedules

An AI agent that keeps running when the laptop is closed. No VPS

"This will run automatically only when the desktop app is open and running. If it’s not running then I’ll need a VPS."

Every automation in QGI Studio runs on the cloud fleet, on its schedule, whether your machine is on or not. There is no VPS to rent and no cron file to keep alive.
