Houston
Houston provides a desktop and cloud platform that gives teams a shared workspace for running AI agents across multiple models and business tools. It centralizes agent activity, outputs, and learnings so they belong to the organization rather than individual accounts, with support for over 1,000 integrations. The platform includes a mission system for delegating multi-step tasks and a community library of pre-built agents.

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 the 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.
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.
