What is Tess AI?
Tess AI is a platform for creating and managing autonomous agents, which the company calls Human AIs, that hold ongoing roles inside a business. Each agent has its own personality, budget and memory, is connected to the company's tools and knowledge bases, and can run on schedules around the clock. Work is delegated in plain language without code, and Cowork, a multiplayer mission-control canvas, shows the agents as an org chart with hierarchy, squads, run history and approvals. A governance layer called Restrictions sets allowed models, context size, connector access and monthly budget per team or per individual. Living Memory organises files and decisions into a knowledge graph the agents can search. More than 250 models from labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are included. Developers get webhooks, an OpenAI-compatible API and an MCP server. Plans are priced per workspace and metered in credits.
