What makes Seren different:
We're trying to build an AI IDE for non-devs, but that great devs will appreciate.
Open marketplace – 90+ publishers for databases (SerenDB, MongoDB), web scraping (Firecrawl), AI search (Perplexity), email (Google), calendars, CRM, even eSignatures Micropayments that work – x402 USDC on Base network.
No subscription tiers, no credits expiring. Pay per API call.
Databases: Query SerenDB (serverless Postgres), MongoDB, Neon with natural language.
Web tools: Scrape websites with Firecrawl, AI-powered search with Perplexity
Integrations: Email, calendar, CRM actions. Coming soon: GitHub, Linear, Notion
Compute: Run code sandboxes, agent templates, custom workflows
Each publisher sets their own pricing. You pay per API call with USDC on Base (x402 standard). No subscriptions, no expiring credits.
