Built to actually do the work.

Houston agents use the same kind of tools a human uses — real software, real systems, real data. They come trained on real tasks, not just prompted to sound smart.

Real tools, not chat tricks

Agents read files, run code, send messages, hit APIs, edit documents. The same kind of operations a human teammate would perform — not text snippets pretending to be actions.

1000+

Integrations out of the box

Slack, Notion, Linear, Stripe, Gmail, HubSpot, Google Drive, GitHub — and a thousand more. Connect once and your agent works across all of them.

Trained on real tasks

Every agent in the store ships pre-trained on the actual workflows it's built for — outbound sequences, fundraising memos, ICP analysis, support triage. Not generic prompting. Real, tested playbooks.

Install a whole workspace.
Not just another chatbot.

Each agent comes with its own files, skills, routines and prompts — pre-configured for a real job. Add one in a click, and it delivers value from day one. No setup, no prompt engineering.

Talk to your agents like you'd text a colleague

The primary interface is a chat. Agents understand context, ask clarifying questions, and show their progress as they work. Connect Slack and reply from your phone — the agent responds there too.

  • Chat-first interface — no forms, no config screens
  • Slack sync — each conversation becomes a thread
  • Real-time streaming — see the agent think and work
  • Progress tracking alongside every conversation
Houston — Investor Relations
We need to prep for our Series A. Build a competitor landscape and draft the investor memo.
On it. I'll pull data on the top 8 competitors in the space — pricing, funding, positioning. Then I'll draft the memo with your traction numbers. I'll check in when the landscape is ready.
via Slack
Focus on the PLG angle — that's our edge
Got it — I'll lead with your product-led growth metrics. Competitor landscape is done, moving to the memo now.

Everything agents need to be great

Not just a chat window. Each agent has its own workspace, memory, skills, and connections.

Skills & memory

Agents learn from every interaction. Teach them once, they remember forever. Install community skills for new capabilities.

Routines

Schedule recurring tasks. Your agent checks in every morning, monitors metrics, or summarizes overnight activity. On autopilot.

Workspace files

Each agent has its own workspace with files, instructions, and context. Everything it needs, organized in one place.

Slack sync

Connect Slack with one click. Each conversation becomes a thread. Reply from your phone, your agent responds.

Runs locally

Desktop app on your Mac. Your data stays on your machine. No cloud required for the base experience.

Open source

MIT licensed. The full codebase, the framework, and the agent store. Fork it, extend it, build on it.

Need it running 24/7?

Love the desktop app? Run the same agents in the cloud while your laptop is closed. One click to deploy. No infra to manage. Your agents work while you sleep. For B2B products: managed multi-tenant infrastructure so you focus on your industry, not on hosting.

  • One-click deploy from the desktop app
  • Same agent, same skills, same memory
  • Always-on Slack & messaging integration
  • Routines run even when your laptop is closed

Ship one product.
Serve every customer differently.

Building a B2B product? Don't rebuild per-client customization. Each customer's AI adapts the schema, views, and logic to fit them. You ship one base. They get theirs.

  • Fork and rename — it's your brand, your product
  • Your code, your customers, your moat
  • Desktop app, Slack sync, board, chat — already built
  • Hosting available when you're ready to scale
  • MIT licensed — free forever for the base framework
  • Per-tenant AI customization — no forks, no feature flags
