AI teammates that actually do the work.
Describe what you need in plain English, for your business or your day-to-day. Cicada builds an agent that connects your tools and works around the clock, growing into a team of agents when the job is bigger than one, and reporting back on Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email, or by picking up the phone.

From a sentence to a running agent.
Tell it the job in plain English. A sentence is enough. The builder asks the one question that matters and proposes the agent.
One-click OAuth to the tools it needs. Slack, Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, and 1,000+ more, connected in seconds.
It runs on its own schedule, takes action, and reports back on the channel you actually live in.
Every run is a live timeline you can watch and a log you can trust, showing every step, every tool, and every approval, right up to the report on your phone.
One agent, a team, or a whole company.
Start with a single agent. As the work grows, it spins up specialist agents and coordinates them, handing tasks to each other and reporting back through one place. You only ever talk to one.
A coordinator delegates to specialist agents, one sourcing leads, one running outreach, one watching the pipeline. Each is an expert at its piece, working in parallel and rolling up into a single update.
One coordinator runs specialists across departments. The Customer Success specialist spots a churn risk, the Sales specialist tees up the renewal, the Engineering specialist chases the blocking bug, and you get one update, not three.
A personal chief of staff hands the bills to one agent, travel to another, your inbox to a third, so nothing slips and you wake up to one morning brief instead of ten open tabs.
Built to work, not to chat.
Chatbots answer. Cicada agents take the task, do it, and come back with the result.
Your agent doesn't wait to be prompted. It runs on heartbeats, event triggers, and follow-ups it schedules itself.
One-click OAuth to the tools you already use, or hand over an API key and connect almost anything.
It drives a live browser you can watch: logging in, clicking, typing, even for tools with no API.
You set how much it can do alone, from read-only to full auto. Everything else waits for your yes.
It learns your accounts, your preferences, your voice, and consolidates what it learns every night.
Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email, voice notes both ways, or drive it straight from Claude and ChatGPT.
It picks up the phone and makes the call in its own voice, from your own number if you like, then tells you what was said.
Sheets, docs, decks and one-pagers, built from real data and sent to you as a link, not described in a chat.
One coordinator spins up specialist agents for the pieces of a bigger job and rolls their work into one update. You talk to one.
What it is, and what it isn’t.
The things Cicada gets mistaken for, side by side.
A brilliant answer, then it forgets you. It can't open your tools, and it stops when the tab closes.
The same class of intelligence, given hands: your apps connected, a memory that compounds, and a schedule it runs on its own.
Flowcharts you wire up yourself, brittle the moment reality doesn't match the diagram.
You say the job once, in plain English. It works through the exceptions and remembers the fix.
Impressive for five minutes, gone by tomorrow. No schedule, no memory, no accountability.
A standing teammate: always-on schedule, a real browser, approval gates, and a log of every step it takes.
The follow-ups, the chasing, the copy-paste. Done by hand, late, again.
It takes the unglamorous parts and pings you only when something genuinely needs you.
One agent, everywhere you already are.
Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email, even Claude and ChatGPT. The same agent with the same memory in every room, group chats included. Approvals work right from the thread.
You stay in control.
Autonomy you can dial, not a black box. An agent only acts within the limits you set, and asks first when it matters.
- Every action is logged. Writes wait for your yes at the autonomy level you set
- Approve or deny from Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, or the dashboard
- Autonomy levels from read-only to full auto, per agent
- Your workspace's data and connections stay isolated
Questions, answered.
What is Cicada, actually?
A workspace where you describe an agent in plain English and it runs for real: connected to your tools, working on its own schedule, reporting back on Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email, or a phone call. You can also work with it straight from Claude and ChatGPT. It keeps working when the tab is closed.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers when asked, then forgets. A Cicada agent holds a job: it acts inside your real tools, remembers what it learns, runs while you sleep, and asks first before anything you'd want to see.
What can it do on day one?
Watch an inbox and chase what's gone quiet, keep records tidy, prep briefs before meetings, run recurring reports, build a sheet, a deck or a one-pager and send you the link, drive a real browser for tools with no API, make a phone call in its own voice, and message you what happened. Connect apps for more, or connect nothing and just talk.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Everything is plain English: describing the agent, changing its rules, asking why it did something. There is nothing to wire up and no flowcharts.
Is my data safe?
Connected apps use scoped OAuth and credentials stay server-side, never in the conversation. Each workspace's data and connections are isolated, every action is logged in the Activity feed, and you set the autonomy per agent, from read-only to full auto.
What does it cost?
Every workspace starts with 300 free credits, no card needed. Credits meter the work agents actually do and roll over month to month. Paid plans start at $99 a month with more credits, more agents and support, and top-ups never expire. Full details in the pricing section above.
Can my team use it?
Yes. A workspace holds multiple members, each with their own agents, plus shared team memory so everyone's agents stay on the same page. One coordinator agent can run a team of specialists, so you only ever talk to one.
