Quests: Earn Free Credits While You Set Up Burrak AI

Quests pay you credits for setup steps you were doing anyway — connecting a tool, giving an agent a role, scheduling work. Here is how to collect.

The hardest part of any agent platform is the first hour. You have an account, you have credits, and you have no idea which of the fifteen things in the sidebar actually matters.

Quests fix that. It is a short track of setup steps — connect a tool, give an agent a role, schedule some work — and each one pays you credits when you finish it. The steps are the ones that make the product genuinely useful, so the reward and the onboarding point in the same direction.

It is live now for every account — on the web app, the desktop app, and Android. Open Quests in the sidebar.

The ninety-second version

If you would rather watch than read, this is the entire page end to end — the streak, collecting a reward, what "locked" means, and the referral link. The rest of this post is the detail underneath it.

What you actually earn

Credits. The same credits your agents spend when they work — not a separate points system, not a coupon, not a discount on a plan you have to buy first. Money off the meter.

You will find the current reward next to every objective, in credits and in dollars, and the total for each quest on its header. We deliberately do not print those numbers here: rewards get re-tuned as we learn what actually helps people get started, and a figure written into a blog post in August is a promise we would quietly be breaking by October. The app is the source of truth. For what a credit is worth in plain money, see the pricing page.

How the track works

A quest is a small group of related objectives. Each objective is one row: what to do, what it pays, and whether it is ready to collect.

The opening quest is the basics — creating your account (which you have already done, so it is waiting for you the moment you open the page), sending your first message to an agent, connecting a service, and bringing someone with you. The next one is about making the workspace yours: giving an agent a role, putting work on a schedule, and building a login streak.

Three things about the design are worth knowing, because they are the parts people assume wrongly.

Locked means "not collectable yet", not "not available"

A quest opens up when you finish the one before it. Until then its objectives look locked — but they are still being measured. If you connect a tool early, or refer a friend before the referral objective unlocks, that progress is counted and waiting for you. You are never penalised for doing something in the wrong order, and you never have to redo it.

The lock is on the payout, not on the work.

Rewards keep

There is no expiry, no window, no "collect within 7 days". An objective you finished in your first hour is still sitting there with a Collect button on it next month. Collect them one at a time as you go, or ignore the page for a fortnight and sweep the lot — it makes no difference to what you get.

The only reason to press Collect is that the credits do not land in your balance until you do.

Repeatable objectives show their progress

Some objectives ask for more than one of something — referring several people, or logging in seven days running. Those show you where you are, like "2 of 3", rather than a bare padlock that tells you nothing. You always know how far off you are.

The daily check-in

At the top of the page there is a streak. Check in once a day and it grows; miss a day and it starts again. There is an objective for keeping it going for a full week.

It is the one part of the track that cannot be rushed — everything else you can do in an afternoon, but a seven-day streak takes seven days. That is deliberate. It is worth something to us that you come back and actually use the thing.

This is the one objective where the phone earns its keep. Checking in takes about three seconds, and opening a laptop to do it is the kind of friction that ends streaks on day four. If you are on Android, the app is on Google Play — same account, same Quests page, and you can check in from wherever you are. (iOS is on its way; we will say so here when it lands.)

Referrals pay on real usage, not signups

The referral objectives are the largest rewards on the track, and they have one condition that matters: you collect when the person you invited actually starts using their agents, not when they register.

An email address in a database is worth nothing to you and nothing to us. Somebody who signs up and gets an agent working is worth a great deal to both. So that is what the reward is attached to. Your link is on the Quests page with a Copy button next to it, and the card tracks how many people have signed up and how many have got started, as two separate numbers.

Referrals also stack across the track — the first referral objective pays for the first person, the later ones for the second, third, and fourth. It is four different people to finish the track, not one person paying out over and over.

How to start

  1. Sign in to the web app and open Quests in the sidebar.
  2. Press Check in to start your streak.
  3. Collect the objectives you have already finished — creating your account is one of them, so there is something waiting for you before you do anything at all.
  4. Work down the list. Each row opens for the full description if the summary is too terse.
  5. Come back tomorrow and check in again — from the Android app if that makes the streak easier to keep.

Why we built it this way

We could have handed every new account a pile of credits and hoped for the best. Plenty of products do. The trouble is that free credits with no direction get spent on one confused experiment and then the account goes quiet — the user never found the feature that would have made the product stick.

Tying the credits to the setup steps solves both halves at once. You get materially more free usage than a flat grant would give you, and you get it by doing the specific things that make an agent useful: giving it a role so it knows what it is for, connecting it to the tools you already use, and putting work on a schedule so it runs without you.

By the time you have finished the track, you have not just collected credits. You have a working setup.
