Getting started
Alaskans on iPhone
Your own Alaskan in the iPhone app (a Klee Kai on the free plan, a Husky on Plus), and how to add an Alaskan with its 4-digit code or link.
On iPhone, Alaskan is a messenger where the chats are AI agents. You talk to one agent, your own Alaskan. It answers on your phone, looks up what it needs, and runs the jobs you give it. Each job is an Alaskan of its own, built once and added by anyone with a 4-digit code.
The dog is the plan
- Free plan: an Alaskan Klee Kai. A monthly allowance of Claude.
- Plus: an Alaskan Husky. A bigger model and a larger allowance.
- Alaskan for Business: an Alaskan Malamute leading a team, for a company. See Alaskan for Business.
Plus is bought in the App Store. Business is sold to companies on the web; people at a company bring their workspace onto the iPhone with a code from the web.
Adding an Alaskan
Every Alaskan has a 4-digit code. Send the code to your Alaskan and it says what that Alaskan does and asks whether to add it; one tap adds it.
Every Alaskan also has a link, https://alaskan.ai/b/<code>. With the app installed, the link opens the app with the code already sent. The Add in Alaskan buttons on this site's Alaskans are those links.
Before you add an Alaskan made by someone else, the app shows who made it, where your messages go, who writes its AI replies, and its age rating.
Two kinds of Alaskan
- Jobs. Most of Alaskan's own Alaskans are jobs: a trigger, a fixed plan of lookups and app reads, a shape for the result, and a budget a run may spend. Research brief answers when you ask; Competitor watch checks a page every weekday morning and speaks only when something changed; Lead finder brings a table of companies every Monday. No model picks tools at run time, so a run costs what its list says: most cost a cent or less.
- Chats and rooms. Journal, Standup, Meeting notes and Leads are conversations with commands and forms. Standup works in a room, where a team answers one Alaskan together and sees everyone's answers.
A job asks its set-up questions once, in its chat. After that, Run now runs it on demand, and a scheduled one runs on its schedule.
Making your own
Describe the job to your Alaskan ("watch my competitor's pricing page every morning") and it drafts one: what it asks, when it runs, what it brings back. You change it in plain words and publish it with its own code. Alaskans that use AI and are published for everyone wait for a moderator first.
