Knack, 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 Knack 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 Knack is

No-code database and business application platform for building custom web apps without coding.

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

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Knack.

  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 Knack. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Knack 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.

Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Knack 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.

No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Knack, 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 Knack account?
You paste in a key from your own Knack account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Knack whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Knack?
