# Carly AI

> Email-based AI assistant with custom agents and workflows

Carly AI, formerly CalBot, is an assistant you delegate to by email: you send, CC or forward a message and it handles scheduling, follow-ups, research and updates in connected apps. Paid plans let you create custom agents, each with its own name, email address, permissions and files, and reach them by SMS, Slack or a web dashboard as well. It also builds workflows from a written description, and steps that do not call an AI model use no credits.

## Key features

- **Delegation by email, SMS, Slack or chat:** Send, CC or forward an email to hand over a task, text the agent, mention it in Slack or chat from the dashboard. Emails the agent sends from its own account use no credits.
- **Custom agents:** Each agent has its own name, email address, integrations, permissions and files, keeps a memory of contacts and preferences, and can be taught your policies and templates as skills.
- **Scheduling:** Handles group scheduling, booking links and availability polls, and creates events with titles, video links, attendees and time zones across Google and Microsoft calendars.
- **Workflows built by asking:** Describe a workflow and Carly builds and tests it, with triggers such as a new email, a webhook or a schedule. Steps without an AI call are free; each AI call costs 0.025 credits.
- **Integrations:** The integrations page lists 258+ apps, among them Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, QuickBooks and Jira, which agents and workflows can act in.
- **MCP server:** An MCP server exposes 148 tools for email, calendar, CRM, workflows, files and notes to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients. Calls made this way cost no credits.
