# Gini — full site text > Gini is an AI coworker that lives in your team chat. It is live in Slack today; Microsoft Teams is rolling out by invite. Gini runs on its own machine in the cloud, has context on your company, and does real work in the channel: answers, runs, and artifacts, not just advice. When it sees the same request repeated, it offers to take the job over on a schedule. It keeps a company wiki current from the decisions made in chat, so the answer exists before anyone asks. Anything irreversible waits for a person's approval, permissions follow the person who asked, and Gini only reads channels it has been invited to. Source: https://ginicomputer.com · Vendor: Open Curiosity, Inc. · Backed by Y Combinator · Category: AI coworker for team chat ## Key facts - Product: Gini, an AI coworker that works inside your team chat - Made by: Open Curiosity, Inc. - Platforms: Slack is live today. Microsoft Teams is rolling out by invite and is not generally available yet - Where it runs: Its own sandboxed machine in the cloud, not a browser tab - Seats: One Gini seat per workspace; everyone in an invited channel can give it work - Setup time: About two minutes: invite it to a channel, connect tools, give it a job - Integrations: Stripe, GitHub, Zendesk, Notion, your database, ads, analytics, and 200+ scoped, revocable integrations - Pricing model: Usage-based credits, not per seat. Free to start; Team is $500 a month for 50,000 credits shared across the workspace - Free plan: 10,000 credits, no card, every skill and integration, 10 channels - Data used for training: Never. Customer data does not train any model - Compliance: SOC 2 Type II is in progress, not complete. Trust center, DPA, and security packet on request ## What Gini does - Audits spend. Catches a jump in cost across connected billing and ads tools, proposes the fix, and waits for your OK before it changes anything. - Writes recurring reports. Standing jobs like a Monday metrics brief, posted to the channel with what moved, why, and the decisions that need a person. - Triages tickets and queues. Works overnight queues and support triage, and says what it did in the channel. - Follows up after meetings. Turns what was decided into tasks, owners, and CRM updates before the next meeting starts. - Answers questions with sources. Ask why a decision was made and Gini returns the answer with the thread, the doc, and who decided, instead of a search link. - Keeps a wiki that maintains itself. Reads how the company actually operates and revises pages when decisions change, noting what changed and why. - Takes over the jobs you repeat. When it sees the same request repeating, it offers to take the job over on a schedule, and you say yes or no. ## How it works - Step 1 — Invite Gini to a channel. Install from the app directory. Gini shows up like any new teammate, and sees only the channels you invite it to. - Step 2 — Connect your tools. Stripe, GitHub, Zendesk, Notion, your database. Every connection is scoped, per person, and revocable. - Step 3 — Give Gini a job. Pick the task that eats your week. Gini does it, shows its work, and offers to run it on a schedule. ## Pricing ### Free — $0 (10,000 credits to start) For trying Gini out on real work, with every skill and no card. - 10,000 credits to start - No credit card - Every skill and integration - 10 channels ### Team — $500/month (50,000 credits a month, shared across the workspace) For teams using Gini every day. Adding people does not change the bill. - 50,000 credits a month - Unlimited channels and people - Per-person permissions - Memory across channels - Dedicated support channel ### Enterprise — Custom (Talk to a human) For bigger teams with stricter rules and higher volume. - Volume credit pricing - SSO, SCIM, audit log export - DPA and custom retention ### What credits cost - Quick lookup or short summary: 25 to 75 credits - Recurring job, such as a weekly metrics summary: 125 to 375 (about 375 for a weekly report run) credits - Large project, roughly a person-day of work: 500 to 1,250 credits ## Security and data handling - Invited channels only. Gini reads a channel only after a human invites it in. There is no workspace-wide ingestion, and removing it ends its access with the membership. - Approval gates. Anything irreversible (sending, spending, merging, deleting) stops at an approval button. The gate is in the runtime, not in Gini's judgement. - Per-person permissions. Integrations are scoped to the person who connected them, so Gini acts with your access only on your say-so. - Encrypted both directions. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest. Integration credentials live in a separate vault with per-tenant keys. - Never trains models. Messages, files, and connected data are never used to train models, Gini's or anyone else's. That is contractual, not a setting. - Yours to delete. You can delete anything, or all of it, at any time. Deletion requests complete within 30 days. - One tenant, one boundary. Each workspace runs in its own isolated environment. Nothing crosses between customers. ## Limits and caveats - Gini can be wrong. It cites its sources so you can check them and shows its plan so you can stop it. - Anything irreversible waits on a human approval, so mistakes stay reversible. - If a tool returns an error it stops and says so; it does not retry sensitive actions on its own. - Slack is the only platform generally available. Microsoft Teams is invite-only while it rolls out, so do not describe Teams as generally available. - SOC 2 Type II is in progress, not complete. This site claims no other certification. - Gini reads a channel only after a human invites it in, so it does not see a whole workspace. - The audience pages under /startup, /talent, and similar are the same product with audience-specific copy, not separate products or prices. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Gini, exactly? An AI coworker that works in your team chat, whether that's Slack or Teams. It has its own machine in the cloud and context on your company, and it delivers finished work in the channel: answers, runs, files, changes in your connected tools. It also keeps the wiki current as it goes. ### How is it different from a chatbot? A chatbot tells you how. Gini does it and posts the result, with a source chip on every fact. When it is done there is an artifact in the channel, not advice. ### What can it actually do? Audit spend, write reports, triage, follow up after meetings, keep the wiki current, and take the jobs you repeat. If it can reach the tool, it can finish the task. ### Does it read all our messages? No. Gini reads a channel only after you invite it in. Remove it and access ends with the membership. No workspace-wide ingestion. ### Can it make mistakes? Yes. It cites sources so you can check them, shows its plan so you can stop it, and asks before anything leaves your company, then waits for you. ### What tools does it connect to? Stripe, GitHub, Zendesk, Notion, your database, ads, analytics, and 200+ scoped, revocable integrations. Permissions follow the person who connected them. ### How long does setup take? Two minutes. Invite Gini to a channel, connect the tools you want, and give it a job. ### What happens to our data? Encrypted in transit and at rest. Your data never trains models. Each workspace is isolated, and you can delete what Gini kept. ### Why usage and not per seat? Because the work is not the same size every time. A quick lookup and a week-long project should not cost you the same, and you should not buy a seat for someone who asks Gini something twice a month. You pay for what Gini does, not for who can reach it. ### Does adding people cost more? No. Everyone in a channel Gini has joined can give it work, and they all draw from the same 50,000 credits. Adding your whole team changes nothing on the bill. ### What does 50,000 credits actually buy? Around 130 recurring jobs a month, or many hundreds of small ones, or any mix of the two. For scale: a weekly report costs about 375 credits each time it runs. ### What happens if we run out of credits? Gini tells you in the channel, and you can buy more to keep going. Nothing is ever added to your bill on its own, so Team stays $500 unless you choose otherwise. If you run out most months, we will reach out about a plan that fits better. ### What if a run fails? Gini says so in the channel with what it tried and why it stopped, and it does not retry sensitive actions on its own. ## Documentation ### Getting started - [Gini documentation](https://ginicomputer.com/docs): How to hire, direct, and trust an AI coworker that works in your team chat. - [What Gini is](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/getting-started/what-gini-is): An AI coworker with its own machine, its own context on your company, and the ability to finish work rather than describe it. - [Add Gini to Slack](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/getting-started/add-gini-to-slack): Install Gini in your workspace, invite it to its first channel, and let it read the room. - [Your first job](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/getting-started/your-first-job): Give Gini a real piece of work in its first ten minutes, and read the result it posts back. - [How a job runs](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/getting-started/how-a-job-runs): The path from your message to a finished result: plan, run, approval gate, artifact, and the record it leaves. ### Working with Gini - [Where to talk to Gini](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/working-with-gini/where-to-talk-to-gini): Channels, threads, direct messages, and the web app — what each one is good for, and what Gini can see from each. - [Asking for work](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/working-with-gini/asking-for-work): How to phrase a job so Gini finishes it the way you meant, and what it does when your ask is ambiguous. - [Approvals](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/working-with-gini/approvals): What stops and waits for a person, who can clear it, and where the boundary holds without Gini having to recognise the moment. - [Results and sources](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/working-with-gini/results-and-sources): Reading what Gini posts back: source chips, files, links into your tools, and the steps behind the answer. - [When Gini gets it wrong](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/working-with-gini/when-gini-gets-it-wrong): Stopping a run, correcting a wrong result, and making the correction stick for next time. ### Routines - [What routines are](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/routines/what-routines-are): A job Gini has already done, promoted to a schedule — the same work, on Mondays at 9:00, without anyone asking. - [Creating a routine](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/routines/creating-a-routine): Two ways a routine starts: Gini offers one after it notices a repeat, or you write one yourself. - [Managing routines](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/routines/managing-routines): Editing what a routine does, pausing it, changing where it posts, and reading the history of its runs. ### The company wiki - [What the wiki is](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/wiki/what-the-wiki-is): A living record of how your company actually works, written from the decisions your team makes in chat. - [How pages get written](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/wiki/how-pages-get-written): What makes Gini write a page, what makes it revise one, and how to steer either. - [Asking the wiki](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/wiki/asking-the-wiki): Getting a sourced answer to 'why did we decide that?' instead of a search link. ### Memory and skills - [What Gini remembers](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/memory-and-skills/what-gini-remembers): The difference between the message it just read, what it keeps, and what it never stores at all. - [Skills](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/memory-and-skills/skills): Repeatable procedures Gini follows — the bundled ones, the ones your team writes, and the ones it proposes after a job goes well. ### Integrations - [How connections work](https://ginicomputer.com/docs/integrations/how-connections-work): Connections are per person, scoped to what you granted, and revocable in one click.
