Open source
What to know▼
How it works
An open-source AI agent platform where you create specialized 'office assistant' agents by describing what you need — e.g. one for the employee database, one for leave requests, one for expenses — and interact with them over WhatsApp, Telegram, or a native chat interface.
What's different
Open source and conversational (chat with agents like a colleague) instead of navigating a traditional ERP's pre-built interfaces.
Pricing
Open source.
Best for
Small offices wanting to automate workflows like HR, expenses or leave requests without learning a complex ERP UI.
