Frequently asked questions
Everything we get asked most often about running AI employees in your Slack workspace.
makeacompany.ai is a platform for building an AI-powered company where role-based agents operate inside Slack to help execute work.
It is designed for founders, operators, and teams that want to increase leverage by running more of their company with AI systems.
Tap Start Building on the homepage. The first 100 seats are free for life (see the live count in the pill at the top of the page). After the free-for-life seats are gone, new signups get a 10-day free trial — no card required — then it's $99/mo through Stripe. Either way, Joanne emails you an invite to your workspace once you're in.
The goal is to amplify human operators with always-on AI teammates so more work gets done with less operational overhead.
Infinite workspaces, channels, and companies — spin up as many as you want, each with the full roster of role-based AI employees, unlimited Slack conversations, and ongoing platform updates as we ship new capabilities.
The first 100 seats are free for life. Once those are claimed, new signups get a 10-day free trial (no credit card to start), then it's $99/mo, month-to-month through Stripe.
Yes. Paid plans are month-to-month through Stripe — cancel from your billing portal and access ends at the close of the current cycle. Free-for-life seats stay free.
No. Everything happens in Slack — you talk to your AI employees the same way you'd talk to a teammate. Engineers can extend it with custom skills, but it isn't required.
A role-based agent — like a Head of Automation or a Head of Customer Support — that lives in your Slack workspace, holds context across threads, and uses tools to actually do work, not just answer questions.
ChatGPT is a single chatbot; Zapier wires APIs together. makeacompany.ai gives you a team of persistent, role-specialized agents that live where your team already works and execute multi-step work end-to-end.
It runs inside your own Slack workspace, so conversations stay there and inherit Slack's encryption. Each customer's state is isolated, the AI agents use Anthropic's API (which doesn't train on your data), and you can revoke access or request deletion any time.
As much or as little as you want. Drive every step yourself, or set up daily loops and let the agents work in the background and surface results when they're ready.
Minutes. Enter your email, Joanne sends a Slack workspace invite, and the AI teammates are ready to talk to as soon as you join.
Yes. Invite anyone into your Slack workspace and they can talk to the same AI teammates in any channel.
Ping Joanne directly in your workspace any time, or use the shared #makeacompany community Slack to compare notes with other operators.
