Launched this week
Every other AI product is a tool that makes you more productive. A copilot. An assistant. A coworker. Something you use. Pancake makes your company autonomous. Agents with roles, goals, and a heartbeat working while you sleep. You set direction, approve the irreversible, the rest runs. Prepare yourself to be prompted by Pancake.

That's wild! Congrats.
As someone who had started spending way too much time on OpenClaw, I'm sure this is going to save me a lot of time.
My question: when you talk about going from 0 to 70% autonomy in a few months, what happens with the remaining 30%?
Also curious to know how agents handle conflicts between them when two squads are pursuing goals that contradict each other.
Pancake
@sachamorard Thank you for your message!! And yes, hopefully much less time spent on OpenClaw 😄
For the remaining 30%, our view is that autonomy will increase progressively over time as trust, context, and reliability improve.
And agent conflicts are a very real challenge. Communication channels between agents are still pretty primitive today. Improving coordination and shared context is a big part of what we’re building, and probably one of the keys to unlocking true autonomy.
For the past few weeks I've been a beta tester, and it has been absolutely wild... especially coming from someone who has been deep in the AI automation rabbit hole for a while 🫠
Before Pancake, I had built my own setup to try to automate my side project: a swarm of OpenClaw agents, a custom triage command center to distribute tasks across them... It was fun to build but was always breaking and often under-performing. It just takes a lot of work to maintain and fine-tune a bunch of agents working on your systems.
Couldn't be happier to be relieved of my OpenClaw babysitting duties when the Pancake crew offered me a beta seat!
It is geniunely the best "AI as cofounder" solution I have tested out there - and the team is super reactive to fix stuff.
I'm not a normy, I use OpenClaw constantly, both personally and professionally, so I thought I had a pretty solid mental model of what AI agents can and can't do. But Pancake still surprised me a few times! The level of autonomy is quite impressive... it doesn't just execute tasks, it comes up with solutions to problems I wouldn't have known how to solve myself. That's the part that genuinely got me, it is very.. resourceful?
I am overall a big fan!
Wishing the team all the best for this launch - you've built something special here! 🥞
Pancake
Wow, thank you @nic_trn for the kind words and support 🥞
We’re so happy to have you as one of our power users, helping shape the product with your feedback. Next time you’re in SF, pancakes are on us 😄
Pancake
@nic_trn amazing comment, and I love the word "normy" haha :)
Very much lacking a list of practical use cases that this service can solve. The video is cool, I really liked it, but I don’t fully understand what the AI is capable of. For example, if I give login and password to Google Analytics and ask it to connect and analyze why website traffic dropped, can it do that or not?
Pancake
@natalia_iankovych let me get specific.
Your GA example: yes, exactly that. Quick note though, you wouldn't share a password. You connect Google via OAuth (credentials stay in the vault, Pancake never sees them), then ask it to pull the data, dig into the drop, cross-reference site changes and campaigns, and come back with hypotheses. It can also watch traffic daily and ping you when something looks off.
Other stuff people are running:
-Outbound: source 100 leads, write personalized emails, send via Apollo, book demos when they reply.
-Content: schedule a week of threads in your voice, publish to your CMS, track rankings.
-Ops: triage inbound, summarize your inbox every morning, draft the top replies.
-Intel: monitor competitor pages, pricing, and job posts, then brief you weekly.
Amazing idea (and name).
Curious, how do you offer something like "unlimited sub-agents" for only $49??
Pancake
@willsmithte thanks Will! The $49 is for the pod ; your private cloud environment where all your agents live. One flat rate to get access to the full harness. Think of it like paying for the office, not per employee.
Tokens are separate ; you either bring your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or buy credits from us at public price. The AI compute scales with your usage, but the platform access doesn't.
Looks really cool! Does it work in whatsapp?
Pancake
@louislecat currently only in slack by iMessage arriving soon :)
Lovon AI therapy
Pancake
@ponikarovskii honestly better than we expected ! We opened up to the public yesterday and have close to 500 full slack installations in 24h, so super stoked :)
@chrismessina I like the "autonomous company in Slack" vision. The idea of agents that can act, not just chat, is where the real productivity gains live.
When Pancake's agent takes an action (e.g., updates a CRM, sends a message), is there a human-in-the-loop approval step by default, or is it fully autonomous with audit logs? And can teams customize which actions require approval?
