Turnstone: a free Grok Bot alternative that runs on your own AI subscriptions
Free Mac and iPhone app that runs a roster of AI agents on the Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Grok subscriptions you already pay for, switching providers when one hits its usage limit.
Why it matters
Agents keep working across the subscriptions you already pay for instead of dying at a usage cap, and a migration bot imports your Grok Bot roster with its skills and routines.
What you could build with it
A small dev-tools team could copy Turnstone's provider-switching pattern into their own agent harness: route long-running coding jobs across two paid subscriptions so a usage cap on one never stalls a build, then measure how often the failover actually fires in a week.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge: launched Nov 7 on Product Hunt; no independent hands-on reports exist yet beyond the launch thread.
