Hire, assign and manage AI employees alongside your people. Tools for agencies and businesses running real work through agents. We rank these ourselves, and featured spots are labeled. Updated October 2026.

Lindy

An AI teammate that works in Slack, iMessage and email across 1,500+ apps, with routines and approvals. The easiest way for a team to start handing real work to an agent.

Free ($50 credits) / from $29.99/user/mo

Sintra

Twelve AI helpers for support, social, sales, SEO and email in one chat. Cheap and simple for a small business, but the helpers are generalists, not specialists.

From $15.60/mo (12-mo plan)

Marblism

Seven AI employees covering inbox, social, SEO, lead gen, phone reception, website and legal. A low-cost way for a small business to staff the basics.

From $24/mo (billed yearly)

GoHighLevel AI Employee

AI that answers calls, replies to chats and DMs, books appointments and follows up, built into the GHL CRM. Strong if your agency already runs clients on GHL; not a standalone tool.

$97/mo unlimited per location (add-on)

Paperclip

Open-source app that runs your AI agents like a company: org chart, goals, tickets, per-agent budgets and approvals. Bring your own agents. Technical setup, but nothing else does this for free.

Free (open source, self-hosted)

MyReplyBuddy

A done-for-you team of five pre-built AI agents for realtors and local service businesses: a receptionist that answers calls and email, speed-to-lead follow-up, reviews, sales coaching and ads. Best if you want it set up for you rather than built yourself. Disclosure: MyReplyBuddy is run by ML Media, the company behind AI Stack Crunch.

Done-for-you (book a call)
