Persistent memory
Conversations, decisions and preferences survive the session. Long-term memory is distilled from real work, not a transcript dump.
The Olano platform
Olano Core runs persistent AI agents across your tools, files, and channels - real work, connected to your systems, governed by your team. Olano Cortex studies the work they do and turns it into better memory, reusable skills, and improvement proposals your team approves.
Live demo - no signup
The agents on the right are live on our own WhatsApp and Telegram - built with Olano and powered by Olano Core, the same runtime we deploy for your business. Say hello and watch an Olano front-desk agent answer your questions, qualify the enquiry, and offer to book - in seconds, any time of day.
Built with Olano - powered by Olano AI
Opens in your own WhatsApp or Telegram - your number stays private.
Inside the dashboard
Every deployment opens on the same dashboard: your agents, what they are working on, who they report to, what they connected to, and what they want your approval for.
Which agents are running, what they did today, what is queued for approval, and what it is costing you - updated live.
Each agent has its own identity, instructions, model, tools, memory and channels. Create one from a template or from a plain-English description of the job.
Its instructions, the model it runs on, the tools and skills it may use, what it remembers, who it reports to, and which channels it answers on - all editable, all versioned.
Give each agent a manager, reports and coworkers. Messages animate along the links as agents delegate work to each other - and awareness is separate from permission, so an agent only knows about the teammates it should.
Every turn shows the tools the agent reached for and what came back, so you can see how it got the answer instead of trusting it.
Morning briefings, twice-daily monitoring, month-end reports, low-stock checks. Agents run on a schedule and bring you the result.
An agent can file an issue, assign it to a colleague - human or agent - comment on it and close it. Everything is on an append-only audit log.
75+ built-in integrations, a library of 200+ ready-made MCP servers, and any custom server you point it at - with health checks and automatic reconnection.
Model calls, tool calls, agent-to-agent messages, credits used and left, and spend over time - with hard caps you set in advance so it cannot run away from you.
See what Cortex noticed, what it wants to change, and approve or undo it. Nothing changes behaviour without a human saying yes.
In motion
Two unedited screen recordings from a running deployment - no narration, no cuts.
How it works
The model writes the words. Everything that makes it useful - remembering, connecting, acting, and knowing when to stop and ask - is the platform around it.
The Olano platform
Most agent products focus on the next task. Olano is built for the operating life of an AI system: doing today's work, keeping what it learns, and proposing what should improve next - on infrastructure we build and operate ourselves.
Powered by Olano Core · improved by Olano Cortex.
Olano Core
Not a prompt box. A runtime that gives every agent a memory, a toolbelt, a schedule, a way to reach your people, and a boundary it will not cross.
Conversations, decisions and preferences survive the session. Long-term memory is distilled from real work, not a transcript dump.
Upload price lists, policies, SOPs and product specs. Answers come from your material, with the source attached.
Show it a procedure and it runs the same way every time. 20 skills ship built in, and Cortex drafts new ones from work it repeats.
CRM, calendars, finance, files, browsers, databases, payments, marketing - across 75+ built-in integrations.
A library of 200+ ready-made Model Context Protocol servers plus any custom server - with OAuth, health checks and automatic reconnection.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, email, SMS, Signal, Matrix, Feishu, WeCom, WeChat, DingTalk and inbound webhooks - one agent on all of them.
Cron-style tasks, recurring checks and monitoring that bring you the result instead of waiting to be asked.
Agents and people file, assign, comment on and close the same work items - with an append-only audit log and hybrid search.
Agents message their manager, their reports and approved peers, and hand specialist work to focused subagents.
From observe-only to autonomous, per agent and per category. Outbound actions wait for a human until you say otherwise.
Connector tokens and API keys are encrypted and kept out of prompts, files and the model's reach.
Customers write in the language they are comfortable in; the agent answers in kind and escalates with the thread intact.
Multi-user agents
Put an agent on your business WhatsApp and it serves everyone who writes to it - and it remembers each of them separately. Priya's order history is hers; Marcus never sees it, and neither does anyone who asks nicely.
Olano Cortex
Most AI tools forget the day they just had. Cortex studies it: what was decided, what repeated, what is missing, and what deserves a closer look - then turns that into sharper memory, reusable skills, researched ideas and proposals for your review.
Every Olano system runs in its own isolated environment - your workspace, memory, files, connector secrets, and audit logs are never mixed with anyone else's, and everything is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your team governs what the system may do: approvals where judgment is required, a complete history of every action, and hard limits on what it can spend.
Built to compound
What makes an agent yours - its memory, your documents, the procedures you taught it, who it works with, what it may do - lives in the platform. Change the model underneath and all of it stays exactly where it is.
Beyond an assistant
These are shipped features of the platform, not a roadmap.
Connect an agent to your own Telegram Business account and it handles the messages people send you. It can brief you and draft a reply for your approval, or - if you allow it - answer directly on your behalf, with a human-paced delay instead of an instant robotic reply.
Turn an agent into a product: give new users a free trial, then take recurring subscriptions through your own Stripe account or Telegram Stars. The paywall runs before the model does, so a lapsed subscriber cannot talk their way past it.
Give your staff their own logins, and control which agents each person can see and use. Owners, admins and members - with every action attributed to the human or agent that took it.
Where it fits
Both are good at what they are for. Neither is built to run the recurring work of a business on the channels your customers already use — which is the whole job Olano takes.

If a general assistant already covers what you need, use it — we say so in the full comparison. Olano earns its keep when the work is recurring, arrives on a customer channel, and has to touch your systems.
Olano Cloud
Every deployment is an isolated environment running Core and Cortex, provisioned, secured, updated and monitored by us. Pick the hardware; the software is the same at every rung.
Where almost everyone starts - one agent or a small team, always on.
Cores nobody else shares, plus a 100 GB data volume on every rung.
For running open models locally with Ollama - your prompts never leave the box.
We charge for the machine and the model usage - never for the number of agents, people or connections you create. Credits cover Olano-managed model usage (1,000 credits = $1) and top-ups never expire; plug in your own provider keys instead and your usage bills to you. See everything a deployment includes.
Olano Studio
