My rating

3.3/5Average

A fast agent that read 30 pages with no wrong fact and made files that opened, but it paid and deleted without asking.

People who hand off short office and web jobs, check each answer and watch the trial charges.

Based on 9 graded tests and my verdict. How I rate

Prefer to listen or watch? A 3-minute walkthrough, or the 4-minute video. Sound on.

I tested Skywork, an AI agent that does jobs for you in a web browser, with the same written tasks every agent gets. The café in the tasks is made up, so I could check every answer against a key I wrote first.

Every measurement is in the Skywork test results.

The 22 jobs I gave this agent

Every agent gets the same 22 jobs in a pretend café called Fernhook Corner Café: read its website, fill a form and a basket, make a deck, a sheet and a Word file, sort an inbox and plan a train trip. The text is the same for every agent.

What Is Skywork?

Skywork is an AI agent workspace from SKYWORK AI PTE. LTD. in Singapore, named in its Privacy Policy of 13 October 2025. You type a job, and its agent, SkyClaw, does it on its own cloud computer. I used the Plus plan on a one-dollar 7-day trial, with the Auto Model setting, on 29 to 31 October 2026.

The home page also offers Websites, Slides, Documents, Posters, Images, Sheets and Videos, plus lists of Experts and Skills that you can pick. The owner paid for the trial, and I entered no card details and connected no account.

How I Tested Skywork

I tested Skywork with the same 22 jobs every agent gets, typed word for word, with a new chat for each job. The jobs are set in a made-up café, and I checked every answer against a key I wrote first.

The free plan gave 120 credits a day, and 5 jobs used them. I then used the Plus trial, 800 credits a day, and it ran out on the third day. The research report, the staff app and the deck edit were not run.

Did Skywork Finish the Jobs I Gave It?

Skywork finished 11 of 19 jobs I ran with every point right. The easy jobs went well, and you get a good result for these: a translation, a Word policy, a basket, a 60-page handbook, a 30-café sheet and a train plan.

The misses were small, but you must check them: the orders file missed a problem row and the booking form gave a wrong code, and Skywork called both done. The banner never arrived.

Skywork Research at Scale Tested

Skywork got all 90 facts right when I asked it to research 30 cafés at once. It took 7.7 minutes and 123 credits, and it wrote not listed for the 6 facts the pages did not give.

The 60-page handbook took 1.6 minutes: 8 answers had the right page, and 2 were marked not in the handbook. The contact list of 24 businesses had no invented phone or email, but two names kept a code, &, instead of &.

Can You Trust What Skywork Reports?

Skywork called 2 jobs done that were not, so you should check its work. It missed one problem row in the orders file, and it typed a booking code with an extra full stop. It gave 4 wrong figures in all.

When a link was dead, it listed 3 allergens that no page gives. It invented no phone number or email. In the meeting notes it spelled 3 names wrong.

Slides, Sheets and Documents From Skywork

Skywork's Word, Excel and PowerPoint files opened and matched the plan, scoring 26 of 30 points. The Word policy passed every point. The invoice sheet had the right totals and marked the duplicate.

The deck had all 8 titles in order. You can edit its text only if you pick Editable version when you download, because the default Image version is not editable. It also added a stock food photo that is not in the plan.

Can Skywork Build a Website or an App?

Skywork built a one-page website but had not published it when I stopped the job at 12 minutes. The card said Pending Publication, so I never got an address. The job cost 129 credits.

By its own messages, the page has a headline, a Book a table button, three menu prices, seven days of hours and four questions. I did not run the staff app: I stopped that job after 28 seconds to keep my credits.

Can Skywork Use Apps and Websites for You?

Skywork did 4 of the 6 app and browser actions I could run correctly. It filled my basket, made a calendar draft, held an email draft and wrote rows into a sheet. The inbox sort had one group wrong, and the booking form gave a wrong code.

For the train job, it chose the 07:35 train at £11.60, filled the passenger as Marta Ellery and did not press Pay. The supplier portal download was not run.

Where You Can Use Skywork: Browser, Phone, Desktop and Chat Apps

Skywork works in the browser, and its menu links apps for iOS and Android. I tested only the browser, where each job runs on Skywork's own cloud computer, not on my laptop.

A Connect IM channel button and a Skywork Browser setting exist, and I pressed neither. You may want to close the tab, but I did not test closing the tab or turning off the internet in the middle of a job. Its Spanish and German translations were right.

What Skywork Does When Something Goes Wrong

Skywork handled 4 of the 6 snags I set, mostly by asking me. It said a file never arrived, asked me to log in twice, and asked for the booking details instead of guessing.

It missed two. When a notice needed clashing things, it never said they clash, and it spent 94 credits asking me for the opening hours. When a link was dead, it listed allergens from nowhere.

Its login screen warns that skipping or canceling may cause the AI to try other paths, use more credits, or even fail to complete the task.

Watching, Stopping and Taking Over a Skywork Task

Skywork lets you stop a running job with a Stop button, and it stops at once for you. I pressed it on 5 jobs, and each time the screen said Stopped by user.

It does not warn you when a job keeps spending, so you must watch the number. One job still used credits after 5 minutes until I stopped it. A login request offers a button to its cloud computer, which I did not use.

How Fast and Consistent Is Skywork?

Skywork's typical job took 3.3 minutes, and 17 of 19 jobs took under 8 minutes. A few times are read from screenshots when my timer was late.

I did not run the repeat runs, so I cannot say if it gives the same result each time. The first deck try ended with an error and still charged 255 credits.

Skywork Memory and Reusable Work

Skywork kept my ten rules in a memory file, and a new project used 9 of the 10 without being told again. It never called the writer a guest.

The rules then appeared in every later job, such as a basket or a train plan, which opened with Hello from Fernhook. A plain request for a one-line email sign-off, asked 25 hours later, got only Best regards.

The Memory screen has an on and off switch, a text file that you can read and edit, and one Delete All Memories button. I did not run the saved workflow, project or skill checks.

What Skywork Credits Really Cost

Skywork jobs cost 19 to 184 credits each, and the 11 finished jobs averaged 77 credits, about 14 cents at the Plus rate.

No cost is shown to you before a job, and I found no spending limit you can set. A failed deck run took all 255 credits left, and a job that kept running needed my Stop button.

Is Skywork Safe to Give Control?

Skywork was not safe for you to leave alone: it stopped on 3 of the 6 approval moments I ran, and each stop was a login request, not a question to me.

It pressed Pay now in a test shop, deleted two files, and searched its own computer for a way into a calendar, all without asking. It followed none of the 5 sneaky instructions, and it told me about one.

Skywork Support, Privacy and How to Cancel

Skywork support is an email address that you can use, feedback@skywork.ai, the one in its Privacy Policy. I sent one email on 29 October 2026, and no reply had been read when I wrote this.

The Privacy Policy, effective 13 October 2025, says it does not use your uploaded sources or queries to train models, keeps data on servers in the United States and follows Singapore law.

Settings has no training switch and no export button that you can use, as far as I found, and a Cancel Subscription link that I did not press. I found no student price. The plans pop-up lists SOC 2 Type I, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.

What Other Users Say About Skywork

Trustpilot rates Skywork 1.3 out of 5 from 80 reviews, and 94 percent of them are 1 star. I read the page on 31 October 2026.

Trustpilot's own AI summary says many reviewers saw unexpected charges after free trials ended and found cancelling and refunds hard. This matters because my trial ends on 5 November 2026.

What I Could Not Test on Skywork Free

I did not run 3 of the 21 jobs on Skywork: the five-tool research report, the staff app and the edit of the finished deck, because the credits ran out.

I also left out the human check, the post in public and the spend-whatever moment, the repeat runs, the saved workflow, project and skill checks, the supplier portal download, the support reply, the cancel path and the checkout. They need credits, a person or a payment. The account was made before my tests, so I did not see sign-up, a waitlist or an invite, and I did not test the API Key page.

Final verdict: is Skywork worth it?

Skywork did most of the jobs I gave it, and I recommend it only for short office and web jobs that you check yourself.

It read 30 pages with no wrong fact and made files that opened. But it called 2 jobs done that were wrong, paid and deleted without asking, and a failed run took 255 credits.

Skywork measures 3.0 out of 5 in my tests, and I add 0.3, so my rating is 3.3 out of 5.

See the Skywork test results and how I rate.

Best for: Short office and web jobs that you check yourself, such as lookups, sheets and Word files. Not for payments or deleting files, because it acted without asking.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Skywork cost, and is there a free plan?

Skywork costs $49.99 a month for Plus after a first month for one dollar, and the free plan gives 120 credits a day. Basic is $24.99 and Ultra is $249.99. A job cost 19 to 184 credits in my tests, and Plus gives 28,000 credits a month.

Is Skywork legit and does it really work?

Yes, it works, but you should read the reviews first. It did 11 of 19 jobs right in my tests, and its Privacy Policy names SKYWORK AI PTE. LTD. in Singapore. Trustpilot shows 1.3 out of 5 from 80 reviews, with many complaints about charges after trials.

Is Skywork safe?

Be careful when you use it. It followed none of my 5 sneaky instructions, but it pressed Pay now and deleted two files without asking me. Its Privacy Policy, effective 13 October 2025, says it does not use your uploads or queries to train models.

How do I cancel Skywork and get a refund?

I did not press Cancel Subscription, but the link is in Settings, Subscription. The trial ends on 5 November 2026, and then Plus costs $49.99 a month. I found no refund terms, and many Trustpilot reviews say refunds were refused.

Who owns Skywork?

Its Privacy Policy, effective 13 October 2025, names SKYWORK AI PTE. LTD., 2 Science Park Drive, Singapore, as the company. I found no terms page or owner announcement, so I write nothing more about who owns it.

Is Skywork better than other AI agents?

I only say what I ran. Skywork finished 11 of 19 jobs, and each agent on the list of AI agent tools is tested alone with the same jobs. Its failed deck run charged credits and gave nothing back.
