More ways to build and share: private apps, model picker, and updated plans

Today we’re shipping three updates that unlock a lot of what teams have been asking for:

1. You can now publish private apps with Memex Web

2. You can now choose between three different models to work with

3. We’re rolling out updated pricing (with new Cloud Credits for compute)

This is the next step in a simple idea: data apps are powerful, but they’ve historically been painful to build and painful to share. We want to make both effortless.

1) Publish private apps in Memex

A lot of the most valuable data apps were never meant to be public.

They’re internal dashboards, team calculators, ops tools, weekly reporting, “pull this number fast” utilities—often built on proprietary or sensitive data. You want them interactive and shareable, but only with the right people.

Today we’re launching Private Apps in Memex.

Now when you publish, you can choose Private, invite specific people, and keep the app secure—so only approved teammates can access it.

What this unlocks

Memex already makes it easy to go from data to a real app: connect your sources, describe what you want, and Memex handles the schema, logic, code, UI, and publishing / hosting flow.

Private apps add the missing piece for teams: you can actually publish and share those apps internally—without making them public, and without falling back to screenshots, exports, or “here’s the spreadsheet.”

Private Apps are:

• Private by design: invite-only access + login.

• Fast to build: connect your data, describe what you want, Memex figures out the logic and generates the UI.

• Easy to share: send a link to your team instead of a file or a screenshot.

• Effortless to run: Memex handles the compute environment and scaling so it runs reliably for everyone you share it with.

• Easy to iterate: update the app and everyone always has the latest version at the same link.

How private publishing works

When you hit Publish, you can choose Public or Private.

• If you select Private, you can add the specific people who should have access.

• Those users will need to sign up and log in, so you can be confident access is enforced.

• Only invited users can open the app.

The result: you get all the benefits of publishing—share a live link, let others interact, iterate fast—without giving up control.

2) Choose your model in Memex Web

We’re also introducing something many of you have asked for: the ability to choose which model powers your Memex Web sessions.

Different tasks need different tradeoffs—sometimes you want a quick first draft, sometimes you want the most reliable result possible. Now you can choose:

• Fast (Haiku): quickest to a first answer and uses fewer credits. Great for lightweight tasks and early exploration.

• Balanced (Sonnet): our default so far—strong quality and reliability for most workflows.

• Genius (Opus): highest capability, and more credit-intensive. The upside is you’ll often get to the right outcome with fewer iterations—especially on more complex data logic, transformations, or multi-step apps.

If you’re trying something new or simple, start with Fast. If it’s an important workflow—or you’re hitting complexity—try Genius and see if it gets you to “done” in fewer steps.

Note: We always use the best models for each tier, and they may change over time. Currently we use the 4.5 family of Claude models, but we’ll update to the latest as soon as they release (we keep hearing rumors Sonnet 5 is almost here 👀)

3) Updated pricing (and introducing Cloud Credits)

We’re rolling out an updated pricing model to better match how Memex is actually used: there’s the work of building apps (prompting, exploring data, generating logic/UI), and there’s the work of running them once they’re published (compute).

So you’ll still have AI Credits for building and iterating—and now you’ll also have Cloud Credits, which are consumed based on the compute your published apps use at runtime.

Here’s what’s changing, at a glance:

• Build is now $20/month — includes 1,500 AI Credits + 75 Cloud Credits (and 1 private app to try private publishing)

• Scale is now $50/month — includes 5,000 AI Credits + 250 Cloud Credits, plus the collaboration and higher limits that growing teams tend to need

Discover ($0) is still a great way to try Memex and publish, and Scale continues to include discounted credit packs for teams that want extra headroom.
