Team Chat

Zulip, 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 Zulip 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.

  • Team Chat
  • Connects with a key
  • 100 ready-made tools
  • Asked in Slack or Teams
At work

What Zulip is

Chat for distributed teams. Zulip combines the immediacy of real-time chat with an email threading model.

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

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Zulip.

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

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Zulip 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.

It works in Zulip 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 Zulip

Can an AI employee really work inside Zulip?
Yes. It signs in to your own Zulip 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.
Do I have to move anything out of Zulip?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Zulip, 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 Zulip account?
You paste in a key from your own Zulip account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Zulip 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 Zulip?
It has 100 ready-made tools in Zulip today, among them Add Alert Words, Add APNs Device Token and Add Default Stream. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Zulip and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Zulip and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Zulip?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Zulip is written down with what it did and when.
