Sustainable AI that benefits the public and the environment before benefiting founders or VCs.
Today, AI companies mint billionaires without paying their way environmentally or socially. We're here to be the active, positive alternative: a place where people who care can use AI more affordably and sustainably, without subscription lock-in.
comitas (n., Latin): the Roman civic virtue of grace, goodwill, and approachability. The quality that enabled powerful citizens to remain answerable to those they served, and that made frank discussion possible between parties of unequal standing.

AI is here to stay. Its costs are real. Someone has to pay them.
AI is staying, and its costs (to the environment and to people's livelihoods) are real. Comitas launches pledging, from day one, to offset its environmental impact at 110%, so every user becomes an environmental net positive. We believe now is the time to steer toward that outcome, not wait for it to become someone else's problem.
Flat subscription AI plans work fine for heavy users, but most people use AI lightly enough that they're paying for far more than they use. You're probably overpaying right now. Our usage-based pricing means you pay for what you actually use, no more, no less, and you can see your environmental impact right in the billing.
No subscriptions, no lock-in. Just deposit funds and use them when you want to. See exactly how the platform rate works →
AI run at public-utility rates should cost pennies for real work.
No base fee. No seat licenses. You pay for what you actually use, plus a transparent platform fee we actively tune over time as we gain more understanding of offsets and become more operationally efficient.

Let's find something to create real value for you right now: a free, guided experiment on your own work. When it's done, you'll see exactly what it cost, what it would have cost you to do yourself, and how much that saved you in terms of the value of your time.

responsible way to bootstrap a company?
Every workload leaves the planet better off.
We commit to offsetting 110% of your usage's environmental impact, on whatever infrastructure it runs on. We do the best accounting the public data allows, and offset the rest. Today, that means AWS's published carbon and water data for our own infrastructure. As we grow, we extend the same discipline to every provider we use.

Comitas is a California Social Purpose Corporation, deliberately not venture-backed. This is not designed to mint new billionaires: rates are set as affordably as possible from day one, and the platform fee itself is tuned over time for sustainable growth and continued public value, not to maximize what gets extracted from it.

Comitas is starting with small private cohorts and scaling up deliberately. Access right now is by invite, but you can request access below and we'll reach out as we open up.
