# Cadence

> Always-on AI teammates for your business.

Cadence gives your business AI teammates that are always on. Each one, called a **bot**, has its own instructions, memory and computer. Bots answer customers, run routines while you sleep, use your apps, and ask before doing anything that matters.

## What bots can do

| Bots can | How |
| - | - |
| **Follow your rules** | [Instructions](https://docs.usecadence.gg/bots/instructions.md) and [instruction files](https://docs.usecadence.gg/bots/instruction-files.md) hold your rulebook, prices and policies, with a history that is never deleted. |
| **Remember** | [Memory](https://docs.usecadence.gg/bots/memory.md) keeps what a bot learns, and you can read and edit it. |
| **Use a computer** | Each bot has a [computer](https://docs.usecadence.gg/work/computers.md) with a browser and a terminal. |
| **Work on a schedule** | [Routines](https://docs.usecadence.gg/work/routines.md) run on a timer, on a webhook, or when something changes. |
| **Meet customers where they are** | [Channels](https://docs.usecadence.gg/work/channels.md) connect bots to Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage and Feishu. |
| **Use your apps** | [Integrations](https://docs.usecadence.gg/work/integrations.md) connect your tools and any MCP server. |
| **Ask first** | [Approvals](https://docs.usecadence.gg/work/approvals.md) keep a person in charge of anything that matters. |
| **Use your own AI account** | [Models](https://docs.usecadence.gg/bots/models.md) lets you sign in with Claude or ChatGPT, or use an API key. |

## Built for teams

Invite your team to your [company](https://docs.usecadence.gg/teams/companies-and-people.md), split work into [spaces](https://docs.usecadence.gg/teams/spaces.md), and choose who can see each bot. People who work with more than one company use one sign-in for all of them.
