Charla, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Charla account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Charla is

Charla is a live chat and AI customer-support platform whose public API manages property contacts, conversation exports, and knowledge base articles and categories.

You paste in a key from your own Charla account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Charla whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Charla.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Charla. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Charla account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Charla and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
