Platform

Everything your AI employees need to run on their own.

Schedules, approvals, knowledge, memory and a log of every run, built in, so your AI employees keep going without you checking in.

01

Scheduling & triggers

Run on a schedule — hourly, daily, weekly — or the moment something happens in another app.

02

Every decision, one place

Your AI employees don't guess on the things that matter. Before they send an email, update a record or spend money, they check with you on your Desk. Review it, approve it, and they carry on.

03

Knowledge

Docs, databases, and URLs become the context your AI employee reads before every task.

04

Memory

Preferences and past conversations carry forward, so nobody re-explains the same thing.

05

Activity log

Every run recorded — what it did, which apps it touched, where it paused. Nothing fails quietly.

06

Run it anywhere

A widget on your site, a call from your API, a message in Slack or email. One AI employee, every surface.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

AI agents, AI employees, AI teammates: what's the difference?

They're three names for the same thing: AI that takes a job off your plate and does it on its own, inside your apps, on a schedule or when something happens. "AI agent" is the technical term. "AI employee" describes the role it plays on your team, and "AI teammate" is a softer name for the same idea. We say AI employees on this site; in the DeskFerry app you'll find them under Agents. Every plan includes as many as you want.

AI employees vs AI agents
What is an AI agent platform?

It's software for creating and running AI agents: AI that can work inside your apps, like Gmail, Slack and HubSpot, to get tasks done for you. DeskFerry is a no-code AI agent platform. You describe each AI employee in plain English, assign it tasks on a live board, and approve anything important before it happens.

Is this a project management tool?

It looks like one, but the work gets done for you. You plan on the board; your AI employees do the tasks.

Will AI employees do things without asking me?

Only what you allow. Anything that sends, spends or changes a record can wait for your approval on your Desk.

How is this different from Zapier or Make?

Those move data between apps based on fixed rules. DeskFerry's AI employees read, decide and act across multiple steps, and you manage them from a task board instead of building workflows.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You write tasks and describe AI employees in plain English.

What's the difference between Assist and AI employees?

Assist is your AI assistant, a generalist: it handles lots of simple tasks, and you can chat with it or schedule tasks like emails and calendar events. AI employees are specialists: each one takes one complex job and does it perfectly, running on a schedule or when something happens. Assist comes with Skills and Notes; AI employees come with skills, memory, knowledge, tools and approvals. You get both in one account.

QuestionAssistAI employees
Good atLots of simple tasksOne complex job, done perfectly
How you use itChat, or schedule tasksRuns on a schedule or trigger
Comes withSkills and NotesSkills, memory, knowledge, tools and approvals
What happens after the 7-day trial?

The 7-day free trial is a one-time trial, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan. There's no free plan: to keep your AI employees running, pick Growth at $49, Pro at $99 or Scale at $299 a month.

Which AI models do you use?

We support top-tier LLMs including OpenAI - GPT, Anthropic's Claude, Gemini, Grok, and open-source models. We choose the best one based on your use case and privacy needs.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. Your AI employees work in a secure, siloed environment. We use enterprise-grade encryption, and your data is isolated to your own workspace. Your business secrets stay within your workspace.

What apps does DeskFerry connect to?

DeskFerry connects natively to 1,500+ apps including Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Gmail, Google Sheets, Notion, Stripe, Zendesk, Jira, and many more. New integrations are added regularly, and you can request custom connections.
