Houston
Houston is a desktop and cloud platform that lets teams run AI agents in shared workspaces, so agent work is visible, reviewable, and retained by the company rather than locked in private chats. It supports 1,500+ integrations with tools like Gmail, HubSpot, and QuickBooks, and works with existing AI subscriptions like ChatGPT or Claude.

Problem
AI usage in organizations is often fragmented across individual chat accounts, making it difficult for teams to share agents, collaborate on tasks, or retain the knowledge and outputs those agents generate. When AI work is locked in private conversations, it cannot be reviewed, reused, or governed by the company, leading to duplicated effort and lost institutional knowledge.
Solution
Houston provides a unified desktop and cloud platform where teams can run AI agents on any model—including ChatGPT, Claude, or custom API endpoints—and connect them to tools they already use, such as Gmail, HubSpot, QuickBooks, and Slack. Agents operate in shared workspaces where multiple team members can assign missions, monitor progress, and review outputs in real time. All agent activity, files, and learnings are stored in a company-owned environment, ensuring nothing is lost when an individual leaves. The platform includes a mission system for delegating multi-step tasks, a community library of pre-built agents, and role-based views for different functions like sales, support, and bookkeeping. Houston's local-first desktop app stores agent data on the user's machine, with optional cloud sync for team collaboration. The platform supports 1,500+ integrations and works with existing AI subscriptions or any OpenAI-compatible server.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small to mid-sized business teams that want to deploy AI agents across sales, support, finance, and operations functions without losing visibility or control over AI-generated work. Enterprise offerings also target larger organizations needing a structured deployment process with a paid pilot.
