Artificial Intelligence

Replicate, 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 Replicate 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 Replicate is

Replicate allows users to run AI models via a cloud API without managing infrastructure.

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

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Replicate.

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

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Replicate 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.

8 tools it already has

What it can do in Replicate

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Replicate. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Create fileTool to create a file by uploading content. use when you need to upload and store a file for later reference.
  • Create PredictionTool to create a prediction for a given deployment. use when you need to run model inference with specified inputs. use 'wait for' to wait until the prediction completes.
  • Get File DetailsTool to get details of a file by its id. use when you need to inspect uploaded file information before further operations.
  • Get Model DetailsTool to get details of a specific model by owner and name. use when you need model metadata (schema, urls) before running predictions.
  • Get Model READMETool to get the readme content for a model in markdown format. use after retrieving model details when you want to view its documentation.
  • List FilesTool to list all files created by the user or organization. use after authenticating to fetch files list.
  • List model collectionsTool to list all collections of models. use when you need to retrieve available model collections.
  • List model examplesTool to list example predictions for a specific model. use when you want to retrieve author-provided illustrative examples after identifying the model.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Replicate 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

  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Replicate 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 Replicate

Yes. It signs in to your own Replicate 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 Replicate, 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 Replicate account?
You paste in a key from your own Replicate account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Replicate 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 Replicate?
