Griptape, 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 Griptape 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 Griptape is
Griptape is a comprehensive platform offering tools and frameworks for building, deploying, and scaling generative AI applications.
You paste in a key from your own Griptape account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Griptape whenever you like.

- 01
You ask
You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

It works out the step
It decides what the job needs in Griptape. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

It does the work
Signed in to your own Griptape account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

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.

You stay the boss of your Griptape account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own Griptape account. You are not moving anything into ours.
- You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
- Everything it does in Griptape is written down, with what it did and when.
- Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
It works in Griptape 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.
Questions people ask about Griptape

- Yes. It signs in to your own Griptape account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.

- No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Griptape, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
- How does it get into my Griptape account?
- You paste in a key from your own Griptape account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Griptape whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.

- Can it use Griptape and the rest of my software in the same job?
