Long before there was Claude Tag and Victor, there was Scarlett.
We built Scarlett over a year ago as a fun experiment to see what agents could do. To our surprise, she almost immediately started doing probably 90% of our work for us.
We've been reluctant to launch because we knew the competition would be fierce, but our benchmarks show that Scarlett is more than holding her own on both speed & quality.
She also has a host of unique qualities & features:
1) She Just Works. After a year of experimenting with various models, architectures & backends, she just works (and does work).
2) Autopilot. She is trained on 50+ business/growth books, you have the option to use her passively or to set her free to essentially run your whole company from marketing to support.
3) iMessage. A lot of people (solopreneurs) don't like or need slack, so we have an alternative.
4) Use Our Keys. With OpenClaw, Claude, etc you need to buy subscriptions to the things you want to use like HeyGen or XAI, but with Scarlett you can use our keys and we'll pass along the cost.
5) Right Model, Right Job. You can use Opus for chat, Sol for Coding, Fable for design, you pick the right model for the job.
We hope you love her as much as we do!
Cheers, Dan

@dansutera Love the native iMessage focus and the multi-model routing engine. For solopreneurs managing completely separate entities (e.g., a software platform vs. a service/recovery business), how does Scarlett handle context isolation? Can we set up distinct 'contexts' or personas within the same iMessage thread so her business growth training doesn't cross-contaminate projects?
Report
@dansutera iMessage is an interesting choice, most of these live only in Slack. From the buyer side my first question is data: where does the conversation history live, since iMessage makes that murkier? Also curious which role adopts it fastest, sales or ops?

@dansutera CRM inside Slack instead of a separate app is the right call.. arguably some CRMs fail because people stop logging things the moment they have to leave their current context.
Still want to ask, when Scarlett does something on your behalf in iMessage (like sending a follow up), does the person on the other end know they're talking to an AI or do they think it's you?
That transparency question matters more in iMessage than Slack because the context is usually personal, not professional.
How are you handling this?

Passing API costs through a single source removes a lot of friction for developers, it keeps the focus on building instead of managing keys and billing. Great work Dan Sutera this looks like a fantastic tool. any plans for native vector database integrations for long-term semantic memory? congrats👏👏
@vikramp7470 Yeah, I've used OpenClaw personally for a while and the API / subscription management has been a giant pain in the ass, so TBH i think this is one of her best features.
Regarding memory, we've done a lot of work on it and tried various things. We are currently running a version similar to Viktor with a Karpathy style wiki, but we keep in SQL like Hermes does for better speed. We also tried running Obsidian & Vector dbs in parallel but they seemed to confuse things in context as much as they helped. I think this overall is a moving target and we're always looking for improved products or architectures here.
Thanks Vikram!

@dansutera Makes total sense, sticking to SQL like Hermes for speed is a solid architectural choice, Good luck with the launch today...

Love how the landing page cuts straight to the point with "real colleague" framing instead of leaning on the usual AI buzzwords. The copy feels like it was written by someone who actually understands team workflows, not just tossed into a prompt.
@asya2rke Thanks Asya! Have to credit our designer @cynthiacui with the beautiful (and straightforward) landing.
Yeah we are trying to reach a non-technical audience here and put all the complicated stuff behind the curtain. Like we don't want users to have to worry about API's or anything, just connect a few things, ask Scarlett for stuff and it's done.
@yjbdr Hey Junbo, you choose what channels you give it access to during onboarding. So most of the context comes from Slack, but if you are using iMessage it will ask you to send it info about your company/role.

finally tried this for a few days and the handoff to my actual project manager felt smoother than i expected, not robotic at all
Scarlett is your digital assistant inside Slack. The best part is how simple it feels: you just ask Scarlett, and she gets it done. You don't have to switch tabs or jump between Claude, ChatGPT, and other tools. She can generate images, write content, answer questions. It can help your team directly where the work already happens.
Love the "right model, right job" approach ☺️☺️ Curious how you think about external tools and live data, do you see Scarlett becoming more of an orchestrator that can plug into specialized capabilities over time, or do you prefer building everything natively?
@luki_notlowkey hey Luki, thanks! Trying to keep Scarlett out of the way as possible, so much more orchestrator vs. native. There are so many great tools and API's and models coming, we want her to basically connect the dots between them & your company and keep the UI via slack or imessage dead simple. So whenever a cool new tool comes across the Twitter/X feed, she can ingest/connect to it as a capability then figure out how that fits into the mix for your company.
Quick list: 1) Faster response time (and slightly better quality). 2) You can choose what model you want doing each kind of task (coding vs. chat vs. design). 3) iMessage. 4) You can use our API keys rather than needing to subscribe to stuff like ElevenLabs / xAI / Reddit. 5) Autopilot mode: if you turn this on she can run your company automatically by doing tasks daily (she's trained on 50+ business 7 growth books).
