How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect Olostep

    Open Connections, find Olostep and paste an API key from your Olostep account settings. Cicada checks it works before saving it.

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Olostep with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Olostep job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Olostep, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.

Is my Olostep data safe?
