Multilingual - LT, EN, RU, DE, FR, PL out of the box. Compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act. ## At a glance - 24/7 coverage across phone, Slack, Teams, email - 6 languages: LT, EN, RU, DE, FR, PL - auto-detect mid-conversation - EU-native: GDPR-compliant, EU data residency - Custom pricing - scales with call + message volume, not seat count --- ## What is an AI Teammate? An AI teammate is software that joins your team across the channels your team already works in - phone, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email - and executes real tasks: answers customer calls, books appointments, pulls data from your CRM, drafts replies, schedules follow-ups, and escalates to a human when it should. It is not a chatbot. It is not a workflow you configure step by step. You ask, it does. The category took shape through 2024 as large language models gained reliable tool use through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and similar interfaces. By 2026, leading platforms - Lindy, Decagon, Sierra (https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/29/sierra-bret-taylor-ai-customer-service-startup-valued-at-4-5-billion/), Glean, Harvey (https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/16/harvey-the-genai-tool-for-lawyers-officially-raises-300m-at-a-3b-valuation/), CrewAI - handle distinct slices of this space. Most are US-based, English-only, and built around a single channel (Slack or web chat). Ainora is the multi-channel European counterpart: voice + text-ops, six languages, EU-native compliance. --- ## What an AI Teammate Does 1. **Answers every call.** Picks up phone calls in under a second - nights, weekends, holidays. Handles common questions, books appointments, escalates complex calls to a teammate with a full summary. 2. **Joins Slack and Teams.** @mention Ainora in any channel. Pulls from your tools (CRM, calendar, drive, support tickets) and posts back the result. Works for the whole team, not just one user. 3. **Remembers your customers.** Recognises returning callers by phone number, recurring contacts by email or Slack handle. Knows their history, last interaction, open issues - picks up where the last conversation ended. 4. **Acts across your stack.** Through MCP and n8n: HubSpot, Salesforce, Calendly, Cal.com, Google Calendar, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, ClickUp, Notion, Drive, Supabase, Stripe (read-only) - plus any tool that speaks MCP. 5. **Speaks six languages.** LT, EN, RU, DE, FR, PL. Switches automatically mid-conversation, native-quality voice in each. Most US-built competitors are EN-only or EN+ES; native LT, RU, and PL with mid-conversation switching is rare. 6. **Escalates with context.** Hands off to a human teammate with a structured summary - what was asked, what was tried, what the customer said next. No "let me transfer you" cold drops. --- ## How Ainora Shows Up - Two Channels, One Memory ### Phone channel Pick up your phone, call the number, and book an appointment. The voice you hear is Ainora running in production. No video, no demo gating, no schedule - call any time. - +1 (218) 636-0234 (US, EN, Jessica) - +370 5 200 2620 (LT, Agnė) ### Ops channel - Sales Ops scenario ``` Maya - @Ainora, q-end. Chase the portfolio for KPIs. Ainora - On it. -> 24 founders nudged with a personalised ask referencing their last update -> 8 already returned, 16 still outstanding -> Daily progress check at 10:00; you only hear from me if someone goes quiet 5+ days Trace: HubSpot (contacts) -> Gmail (sends) -> Drive (response tracker) ``` Result: 24 personalised follow-ups in one ask, ongoing tracking handled until everyone replies. Four more scenarios (Customer Success, Legal Ops, Recruiting, Finance) live on dedicated pages. --- ## AI Teammate vs Chatbot vs RPA vs Workflow Automation | | Chatbot (Intercom Fin) | RPA (UiPath) | Workflow tools (Zapier, n8n) | Ainora - AI Teammate | |---|---|---|---|---| | Channel | Web widget only | Background, no human channel | Behind-the-scenes triggers | Phone + Slack + Teams + email | | Setup | Train on FAQ corpus | Build automation per task | Wire each step manually | "@mention me, I figure it out" | | Memory | Per-session | None | None | Persistent per workspace | | Languages | Often EN-only | N/A | N/A | LT, EN, RU, DE, FR, PL | | Escalation | Hard handoff | Breaks on edge cases | Breaks on edge cases | Structured handoff with summary | | Best for | Pre-sales web FAQ | Repetitive back-office tasks | Connecting two SaaS apps | Customer ops + internal team ops | --- ## Best AI Teammate Platforms in 2026 | Platform | Strength | Limitation | |---|---|---| | Lindy | Mature US Slack agent, good UX | EN-only, US data residency | | Altis | LT-headquartered, secure-by-design framing | Slack-only, single channel | | Decagon | Enterprise CX agent | EN + partial ES, US-flavoured deployment | | Sierra | Voice + chat from a high-pedigree founder team | US-built, enterprise sales cycle in quarters | | Glean | Strongest enterprise search backbone | Indexes data; less action-taking | | CrewAI | Open-source multi-agent framework | DIY - you build, you maintain | | Ainora | Voice + Slack + Teams, EU-native, six languages | Smaller team, sell direct | If you need voice and ops in one product, deployed in days not quarters, in your customers' language, on EU infrastructure: that is Ainora. If you need US enterprise-grade CX with a $200K+ contract: Sierra or Decagon are stronger. If you want a framework to build your own: CrewAI.

Lindy and Altis live inside Slack. Decagon and Sierra live in customer support. Voice-only platforms live on the phone. The teams using them stitch together two or three vendors and hope state stays consistent. Ainora collapses that. The same agent that picks up the phone when a customer calls is the agent your team @mentions in Slack to follow up on that call. The CRM record updates once. The customer hears one voice. Where it matters most: - **Inbound sales** - prospect calls, no answer -> AI receptionist takes the call and books a demo -> agent posts the booking to the Slack channel where the AE works. - **Recovery / collections** - AI calls the customer for a payment reminder -> if the customer asks for a payment plan, agent escalates to a Slack thread -> returns to phone with the answer. - **Recruiting** - candidate emails the role inbox -> AI summarises the resume in Slack for the recruiter -> if greenlit, AI calls the candidate to schedule the screening. One memory. One conversation thread per customer, across every channel. --- ## EU-Native by Default - **GDPR-native** - audio, transcripts, and memory stored in EU regions only. No US data transfer. Subject access requests handled within statutory windows. - **EU AI Act aware** - customer-facing voice agents are flagged as automated; we follow disclosure and logging requirements. - **Per-tenant isolation** - every workspace runs scoped tools and memory. No cross-tenant leakage. - **No model training on customer data** - conversations are not used to train any model. - **Multilingual including small EU languages** - LT, RU, PL covered. Most US-built competitors stop at EN; DACH-built competitors emphasise DE + EN + FR. --- ## Tools Ainora Already Talks To HubSpot, Salesforce, ClinicCards, Calendly, Cal.com, Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Slack, Telegram, ClickUp, Notion, Linear, Asana, Supabase, Stripe (read-only billing), n8n, plus any tool with an MCP server.

Answers customer calls, books appointments, pulls data from your CRM, drafts replies, schedules follow-ups, and escalates to a human when it should. **How is an AI teammate different from a chatbot?** Chatbots answer pre-trained questions in a single channel. AI teammates take action across multiple channels with persistent memory, route across tools, and escalate to a human with a structured summary. **How is Ainora different from Lindy or Altis?** Lindy and Altis are Slack-only and English-only. Ainora handles voice and Slack/Teams in six European languages, with EU data residency and live demo phone numbers anyone can call. **Does Ainora train on our data?** No. Customer conversations are never used for model training. **What languages does Ainora support?** Six out of the box: Lithuanian, English, Russian, German, French, Polish. Additional languages can be enabled per client. **How long does setup take?** Voice channel can be live in 2-3 days. Full multi-channel deployment with CRM and calendar integrations runs 1-2 weeks. **How much does it cost?** Custom per workspace. Scales with call + message volume rather than seat count.
