## Summary

The Letter Company has launched the beta of Letterpress‑1, a coding agent, harness and IDE designed for growth engineering. The agent reads a website and its market signals, then builds changes in a sandbox and opens a pull request with a live preview.

Letterpress‑1 runs on the company’s hosted platform against a user’s git repository, requiring no local GPU. Setup takes under five minutes. The product is priced in token‑based tiers: Basic $100 for 10,000 tokens, Starter $500 for 50,000, Growth $1,000 for 130,000, Scale $2,500 for 400,000, and Enterprise starting at 2 million tokens a month at half the list rate. A token equals one cent at list price, and the agent’s cost model adds 20 % to token usage, typically 150‑900 tokens per pull request ($1.50‑$9). Overage on Basic and Starter is $50 per 1,000 tokens, five times the list rate.

The agent exposes 760 tools through a single registry over MCP, REST and CLI, and offers four primitives—Proofs, Simulations, Benches and Phantoms—to attract buyers. It positions itself against tools like G2, Semrush, Profound, RB2B and Instantly, and claims to outperform Codex in a self‑reported side‑by‑side page build. No public benchmark is available, and the company has not disclosed model sizes or names.

## Key points

- Letterpress‑1 is a coding agent that builds pull requests from site and market signals
- Pricing starts at $100/month for 10,000 tokens, with token cost 1 cent each
- The agent exposes 760 tools via MCP, REST and CLI and offers four buyer‑focused primitives

## Why it matters

Letterpress‑1 gives marketing teams a low‑friction way to automate site changes and growth experiments directly from git, potentially speeding iteration and reducing manual code reviews.
