Adapt
Adapt is a company agent platform that runs shared AI agents in Slack with live data and real actions.
Adapt earns a look from any team already in Slack that wants agents executing rather than chatbotting. The $8/seat Managed base is genuinely low — the real bill is sandbox seconds plus model spend, and the calculator makes that legible before you commit. If you want a flat invoice with zero usage variance, this model will annoy you.

Skip Adapt if you need a fixed per-seat bill with zero usage variance, or if you want to pin a single frontier model to every request instead of letting the router and model recipes decide.
Business seats are $14 per user per month, but that covers the seat only — model spend, sandbox compute, storage, egress, and company memory are all metered on top.
Adapt's Developer plan is $0 — self-host the full runtime, CLI, and templates, or run free monthly usage on Adapt's infrastructure for one person — which undercuts seat-priced assistants like Copilot or ChatGPT Team at small scale. Business at $14 per user per month plus metered sandbox and model usage usually lands below Glean-class enterprise search contracts and below per-seat AI assistants once you're past a handful of heavy users, but only if your agents keep turns short. Enterprise is

About Adapt
Adapt is a company agent platform — one shared agent runtime that answers with live company data and executes work across the tools your teams already use. Instead of a per-seat assistant, you tag @support, @factory, or @finance in Slack and the agent pulls Shopify order details, drafts a reply in your writing style, and hands off anything that needs a person. Engineering teams use it to turn issues into pull requests, finance to reconcile invoices against Stripe and BigQuery on a schedule. Underneath, everything runs on one runtime. Every tool connects once through API, MCP, or CLI, with identity and permissions flowing from your IdP. Knowledge and conversations compound into shared company memory and reusable workflows rather than resetting per person. Adaptive routing picks a model per task across frontier, open-weight, and your own keys — bring your own inference at 0% markup, or use Adapt's gateway at cost plus 5.5%. Control lives in the config: a policy store with approvals on named actions, budgets per team and per agent, and isolated microVM sandboxes with secrets that never enter the model context. Admins set an organization model recipe deciding which models power each intelligence level, and users can pin a chat to Super Fast, Fast, Balanced, or Deep — or leave routing on Auto. GPT-6 Astra joined the OpenAI frontier recipe for Deep in September 2026. Surfaces span Slack (including a customer-branded app), the web app, email, iMessage or RCS, a Chrome extension, and an MCP server with OAuth sign-in. Deployment splits three ways: Open Source at $0 on your own infrastructure, Managed at $8 per user per month plus metered usage, and Enterprise custom with SSO, SCIM, audit export, and VPC or on-prem options. It sits closest to retrieval-only assistants like Glean: Adapt is aimed at teams that want the PR written and the invoice reconciled, not just summarized.
Behind the Verdict
Most "company AI" products stop at retrieval: index the wiki, answer questions, look smart in a demo. Adapt's bet is that the agent should finish the job — open the PR, reconcile the invoice, resolve the ticket with the right order context. That framing is why it reads more like infrastructure than a chatbot, and why the comparison set is closer to building it yourself than to buying another assistant seat. Pick it when your teams already live in Slack and the work is repeatable. Support triage against Shopify, a nightly health check, an invoice mismatch sweep against Stripe and BigQuery, a one-page brief ten minutes before every call — those are the shapes Adapt is built for. The event triggers and cron automations mean you don't babysit it; the approval policy on named actions is what makes leaving it unattended defensible. Pass on it if your stack is heavy on internal systems nobody has wrapped in an API yet and you can't wait on connector work. The drop-in integrations cover a lot of mainstream SaaS, but the long tail is your problem. Also pass if you need fully offline operation today — the hosted path assumes cloud connectivity. Where it bites: metered costs. $8 per seat is just the entry ticket. Compute runs $0.045 per vCPU-hour and $0.0175 per GiB-hour, storage $0.09 per GB-month after 50 GB, egress $0.16 per GB after 50 GB. Idle time between turns is free, which matters more than it sounds — long-running agents sit parked a lot. The $15/mo finance agent preset versus $120/mo for a high-volume support agent shows the spread you should actually model. The model layer is the other honest caveat. Adaptive routing is the default philosophy, and admins can build recipes per intelligence level, but if your security team insists on one pinned frontier model for

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Adapt actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
Connect GitHub, Linear, and Sentry. Make 'Adapt Review' a required status check, then tag @Adapt on a bug report in Linear and let it open a PR with a confidence score.
Outcome: PR triage and first-pass review happen without a human context switch, and the team reviews code rather than writing the first draft.
Connect HubSpot, Gmail, and Grain. Set a sales-ops policy so the agent acts as a named rep only with approval on outbound sends, then ask it what changed in pipeline since Friday.
Outcome: Pipeline answers arrive with cited HubSpot, Grain, and Gmail sources, and anything sensitive routes to a named human for approval before it leaves the building.
Connect Stripe, BigQuery, and Google Workspace. Build a scheduled reconciliation automation in plain English and route exceptions to your team's channel or inbox.
Outcome: Invoice mismatches surface as exceptions before month-end instead of piling up, and each automation shows its credit cost run by run.
Use Cases
- Ask 'What changed in pipeline since Friday?' and get an answer synthesized from HubSpot, Grain, and Gmail with cited threads.
- Turn an issue into a pull request: the agent writes code and runs tests, and your team reviews inside GitHub.
- Resolve support tickets with order details pulled from Shopify and a reply drafted in your team's writing style.
- Catch invoice mismatches before they pile up: reconcile on a schedule and send exceptions to your team.
- Get a one-page meeting brief in Slack 10 minutes before every call — who's on it, what was said last time, what's open.
- Gate merges on Adapt Review as a required GitHub status check.
- Monitor churn risk and ARR changes with proactive alerts for leadership.
- Post a full huddle transcript when a Slack huddle ends, then ask what was decided.
Models Under the Hood
as of 2026-10-14
Limitations
- The product is in developer preview with a waitlist, so general availability is limited.
- Pricing spans a free self-hosted Open Source tier, a $14 per user per month Managed tier plus metered usage, and custom Enterprise pricing; inference through the Adapt gateway costs list price plus 5.5%, while your own keys carry 0% markup.
- Governance features such as shared company memory, groups, and policies vary by tier, and SOC 2 Type II applies to Adapt-managed infrastructure rather than self-hosted code you run yourself.

Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Adapt — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Single user: sign up at app.adapt.com with Google OAuth or email, connect Slack and one data source, and you can ask your first question in about 5 minutes per Adapt's own quickstart. A team rollout is longer — you'll want groups and policies configured before handing the agent write actions, plus per-member credit limits set. Enterprise on-prem or VPC deployment is a custom onboarding program
Switching to or from Adapt
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From Glean or an enterprise search tool: point Adapt at the same sources, but expect to configure policies and approvals because Adapt executes actions rather than only retrieving documents.
- →From a seat-priced AI assistant (Copilot, ChatGPT Team): re-budget from per-head seats to a $14 per user per month Business seat plus metered sandbox and model usage.
- →From in-house scripts and cron jobs: rebuild them as Adapt automations written in plain English, with results routed to a channel, email, or your Messages thread.
- →From manual PR review queues: connect GitHub and make 'Adapt Review' a required status check to gate merges.
- ↗To a self-hosted stack: Adapt's runtime, CLI, and templates are open source, so you can keep the same agents on your own infrastructure rather than leaving the platform.
- ↗To seat-priced assistants: expect to lose cron automation, microVM sandboxes, event triggers, and MCP-connected execution in exchange for a predictable per-head bill.
- ↗To a retrieval-only enterprise search tool: cheaper per query but you give up the agent's ability to open PRs, reconcile invoices, and send approvals.
