Ordinal, 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 Ordinal 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 Ordinal is
Ordinal is a collaborative social media planning platform for creating, reviewing, scheduling, and analyzing content across connected channels.
