Designed in Helsinki.
We build managed AI employees that can operate inside real business workflows.
Why we built First Mate.
Most companies run a growing stack of SaaS tools. The tools help, but operating them creates real overhead.
Our model is simple: keep your current tools and add an AI employee that can execute work across them.
The key shift is execution, not chat.
A capable AI system can read, write, reason, and act inside the same interfaces your team already uses.
That is the product we are building: AI employees that fit normal management processes such as onboarding, delegation, and review.
Why now.
Model quality is finally practical
Modern models are reliable enough for production workflows when they are wrapped with clear guardrails and review loops.
Execution infrastructure matured
Agent infrastructure now supports persistent sessions, browser automation, and production-grade communication channels.
Teams need leverage, not more tools
Work volume keeps growing while hiring remains expensive. Teams need execution capacity without another software rollout.
Built on open source.
First Mate is built on open agent infrastructure and delivered as a managed service for business teams.
Model agnostic
Supports multiple model providers instead of a single locked stack.
Browser native
Employees work in browser sessions, so they can use the same tools as your team.
Multi channel
Telegram, Slack, and email are available communication channels.
Extensible skills
Skill layer for browsing, file handling, communication, and analysis tasks.
What we believe.
Transparency over hype
We are explicit about capabilities and limits. AI identity disclosure is required in external communication.
Privacy by architecture
Privacy is built into the system design. Customer data is not used for model training.
Low lock-in by default
Monthly billing, clear cancellation terms, and a seven-day guarantee keep risk low.
Built in Helsinki
Product decisions are shaped by practical EU privacy and compliance expectations.
