Overview

stagewise is building Klex Bots, autonomous AI coworkers that can take on real work inside companies.

Unlike traditional AI assistants, Klex Bots don't need to be prompted for every task. They operate continuously, maintain their own memory and workspaces, and use the same tools and systems as human employees. They can execute complex, multi-step tasks independently, collaborate with other bots or humans, and can use multiple sandboxes/computers depending on configuration.

Our Klex Cloud platform makes it easy for businesses to deploy and manage these digital coworkers securely, using their preferred AI models and infrastructure, hosting agents either in cloud or on custom infrastructure.
