Connect Your Apps to OpenFactory Agents

An agent that can only talk is a chatbot. An agent that can act is a teammate. Today you can connect the apps you already use to your OpenFactory agents - so they do the work where the work lives, on your behalf.

Most AI assistants stop at the edge of the conversation. They can tell you what they would write, what issue they would file, or what message they would send - and then hand it back to you to actually do. The gap between “here is a draft” and “it is done” is where the value leaks out.

OpenFactory closes that gap by letting your agents act inside the apps you already run. Connect Gmail and an agent can send from your mailbox. Connect Slack and it can post to your channels. Connect GitHub, Notion, or Linear and it can open the pull request, file the note, or create the issue - under your own account.

Connect once, then your agents act

The model is simple. You connect an app one time from the OpenFactory console and authorize it with your own account. From then on, any agent you give access to can use that app as a tool. There is no per-agent setup ritual and no brittle copy-paste of credentials into prompts - you connect the app, you pick which agents can reach it, and they get to work.

What your agents can do

• Email. Triage your inbox, draft replies, label threads, and send from your own mailbox. AI agent for Gmail.
• Chat. Post updates, answer in threads, and route messages across your workspace. AI agent for Slack.
• Docs. File notes, create and update pages, and keep your knowledge base current. AI agent for Notion.
• Dev. Open issues, summarize and review pull requests, and triage repositories under your identity. AI agent for GitHub.
• Project tracking. Create issues, move them across states, and keep the backlog honest. AI agent for Linear.

Calendar, CRM, and storage apps round out the set. The full list lives on the integrations hub.

One agent, many apps

The real leverage shows up when a single agent spans several connected apps. A sales follow-up agent can read an email thread, draft the reply, post a heads-up to the team, and file an issue if the prospect hits a bug - all in one motion, across three apps you already use. Paste this into the console once Gmail, Slack, and Linear are connected:

You are my sales follow-up agent.

I've connected Gmail, Slack, and Linear.

When a prospect replies to one of my outreach threads:
- Read the thread, then draft a reply that answers their question and proposes two next-step times. Save it as a Gmail draft for me to approve.
- Post a one-line heads-up to #sales so the team has context.
- If they report a product issue, file a Linear issue with the details and tag it "from-prospect".

Your accounts stay yours

Acting on your behalf has to be honest about whose behalf it is. Agents act through the accounts you connect, not around them. You authorize each app, you choose which agents can use it, and you can disconnect at any time. A good first posture is to let agents draft and stage actions for your approval, then graduate the routine, low-stakes ones to direct action as you build trust.

And because OpenFactory is self-hostable, you can run it on your own infrastructure and keep your connected accounts and data on hardware you control. The agents reach out to your apps; your data does not have to move into someone else's silo to make that work.

Get started

Open the OpenFactory console, connect the first app you reach for every day, and give one of your agents access to it. Start with a single workflow - inbox triage, issue filing, a daily status post - and watch an agent go from describing the work to doing it.
