Sistava is an AI workforce platform where solo founders hire AI employees to run their business around the clock. Each AI employee has a specific role like sales, marketing, or customer support, with real tool integrations, persistent memory, and the ability to work inside your existing apps like Slack, Gmail, and HubSpot.

What is an AI employee?

An AI employee is an autonomous AI agent with a defined role, persona, skill set, and tool access. Unlike a chatbot that only answers questions, an AI employee takes on recurring work like writing emails, qualifying leads, answering support tickets, and publishing content, and it works on its own around the clock without being prompted each time.

How is Sistava different from project management software?

Sistava is not project management software. You hire AI employees who do the work, not a tool that tracks work done by humans. Your AI employees run sales outreach, write marketing content, answer support tickets, and handle operations on their own, without constant supervision.

How much does Sistava cost?

Sistava has a free plan you can start without a credit card, plus paid plans that scale with how much work you hand to your AI employees. See the pricing page for current plans.

What can AI employees do on Sistava?

Your AI employees take on the recurring work that runs a business: qualifying and reaching out to leads, writing and publishing marketing content, answering support tickets, and handling day to day operations. Each one comes with a role and skill set, so it can start working the day you hire it.

Sistava is built for solo founders and small teams who need to run sales, marketing, support, and operations without hiring a full human team. It gives you the equivalent of a growth team you can hire in minutes.

Roadmap

Live roadmap — what we are working on, what is coming next, and what just shipped.

Live

Hire an AI Employee: Hire an individual AI employee from the marketplace or build a custom one.
Interview Before Hiring: Chat with any employee before hiring to see if they're a fit.
Employee Builder: Build an AI employee from scratch with your own persona, skills, and tools.
Personal Assistants: Pre-built assistants (Bob, Alice) ready to start today — one for work, one for life.
Employee Persona: Customize each employee's personality, tone, and communication style.
Customize Employee Profile: Edit every detail on the Profile tab — name, role, avatar, persona, model, languages, working hours, and more — without leaving the employee view.
Credits Saver: Credits Saver watches every message and quietly hands the easy ones (greetings, quick acknowledgements, 'make that shorter') to a lighter, cheaper model, while real work still runs on the model you picked. On everyday back-and-forth that often means 40 to 50% fewer credits, with no drop in quality where it counts. It is on by default and fully in your control: turn it on or off anytime, and see exactly how often it saved you on its own page.
Employee-Driven Onboarding: Your new hire greets you in chat and walks you through setup — work context, preferences, first task — through natural conversation. No forms, no settings panels.
Conversational Memory: Employees remember past conversations and facts about you and your business.
Platform Awareness: Every employee knows the platform they run on — your current plan, features, limits, roadmap, and the full guide — so they answer product questions directly.
Persistent Notes: Employees keep a personal notes file they load every time they start working.
Model Selection: Pick which AI model powers each employee (OpenAI, Anthropic, Kimi, and more).
Reasoning Effort Control: Tune how deeply each employee thinks (minimal, low, medium, high).
Max Actions per Turn: Set how many tool calls an employee can make in a single response.
Custom Knowledge Training: Train employees on your own URLs, connected apps, and knowledge sources.
Employee Lifecycle: Onboard, pause, reactivate, or terminate employees as your needs change.
Hire a Full Team: Hire pre-built teams (Marketing, Sales, Support, HR) with coordinated members. Every member counts against your employee allowance.
Team Leader: Assign a leader who coordinates work across the team.
Delegation: Leaders delegate work to teammates and across teams automatically.
Sprints: Plan, execute, and review weekly sprints with goals and tasks.
Team OKRs and KPIs: Set the targets that matter to your team. Every sprint tracks progress against them so people pick work that moves the metric.
Team Goals & Guidelines: Set long-term goals and working guidelines every team member follows.
Bench: Holding area for employees not yet on a working team.
Alumni: Archive of terminated employees — restore them to reactivate their state and history.
Task Board: Kanban-style board where employees plan and execute work.
Recurring Tasks: Schedule tasks to repeat daily, weekly, or on any cadence.
Work Schedule: Define when each employee is active and how often they check their board.
Work Journal: Append-only work log — employees track what they did and you can review any day.
Playbooks: Repeatable process docs employees follow for common workflows.
Task Comments: Comment directly on a task so the assigned employee sees the feedback and replies on the task itself.
CRM: Every business runs on a CRM, the shared book of the people and companies it deals with. Sistava builds one in, and your AI employees run it for you. They add a prospect the moment one comes up, keep contacts current, open deals and move them down the pipeline as they progress, and write notes so nothing is forgotten. You get one clean place to see who you know, what's in flight, and what it's worth, without paying for a separate CRM.
Sales Pipeline: Your deals live on a pipeline board, the same shape as your task board: a column for every stage, New, Screening, Meeting, Proposal, Customer, and a card for each deal showing its value and the company behind it. As a deal gets closer to won, it moves down the board. Your AI employees keep the pipeline current, opening deals, moving stages, and updating amounts, so you always know what's in flight and what it's worth, at a glance.
Web Chat: Chat with employees from the workspace UI — text, images, PDFs, and files.
Shared Employee Threads: Multiple people in your org can chat with the same employee in one shared thread. Live streaming for everyone, sender attribution preserved, employee remembers who said what.
Email Webhook: Inbound-parse webhook from your own SendGrid, Mailgun, or Postmark account POSTs parsed mail to a tenant-scoped endpoint.
Personal Mailbox: Each employee gets their own email address. Email them directly, CC them on any thread, they reply within seconds — like a real coworker on your domain.
REST API: Send messages to employees over your own REST endpoints.
Webhook Inbound: Route webhook payloads into an employee's conversation.
MCP Server: Expose your employees as an MCP server to other AI clients.
A2A Protocol: Connect your employees to other agents via A2A protocol.
Calendar: Calendar events invite your employees automatically — invite their mailbox address to a Google / Outlook / Apple event and they join when the meeting starts.
Slack Channel: Tag your AI employee in any Slack channel like a teammate. It reads the channel, does the work, and asks before anything risky.
Telegram Channel: Message your AI employee on Telegram. DM the bot or @mention it in a group, and it replies right there with full memory shared with web chat.

Browser Automation: Employees control a real browser to research, fill forms, and take screenshots.
Computer Controller: Employees operate your desktop through the companion app for anything in the browser won't cover.
Universal App Control: Your employee uses any app on your desktop — Figma, Excel, Logic, Final Cut, Photoshop — with real mouse and keyboard, just like you would.
Local File Access: Read, write, list, and search files anywhere under your home directory. Edit configs, reorganize folders, sift through a codebase — bounded to your home so nothing else is touched.
Terminal Execution: Run real shell commands on your machine — git, npm, brew, ls, grep. Destructive patterns (rm -rf /, sudo, dd, reboot, fork bombs) are hard-blocked at the companion.
Screen Vision: The employee sees what is on your screen. Works for any app without an API: dashboards, design tools, video editors, native windows. Captures, reasons over the pixels, then acts.
Web Search: Employees search the web for live information during any task.
Web Scraping: Employees extract clean text from specific pages or crawl websites for research.
Image Generation: Employees generate images on demand via DALL·E.
Custom MCP Server: Add any MCP server and your employees can call its tools.
Custom A2A Agent: Connect any external A2A agent as a tool.
Custom Webhook Tool: Expose any webhook as a tool employees can trigger.
Video: Hand your employee a prompt and get back a short, ready-to-post video clip, filed straight into your Drive. Built for social cuts, ad concepts, and quick product demos. Editing your own footage is coming next.
Meeting Attender: Send an employee to your Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams call as a silent participant who takes notes and transcribes.
Live Transcription: Get a real-time transcript written to the employee's Drive as the meeting happens.
Meeting Summary: Auto-summary of decisions, action items, and attendees after every meeting.
