# Okou

> Your cross-functional AI teammate for teams. Get the right data, run agentic workflows, and deliver finished work with team-wide context.

Okou runs in the cloud, so a task keeps going after you close your laptop. It connects to 3,000+ tools your team already uses and works across marketing, sales, engineering, and operations.

Anything that leaves your company or spends your money stops for a human: email lands in Gmail unsent, an ad budget shift waits in Meta for approval. Permissions are read/write per tool and per agent, and every run is auditable.

Every AI workflow your team builds is an asset it keeps. Turn your team’s know-how into shared workflows, ready to run on a schedule or a trigger. A teammate runs it with their own permissions — a shared workflow never borrows someone else's access.
