Backdrop
Build A.I. coworkers that research, create, coordinate and follow up on work
Backdrop lets you build A.I. coworkers for any kind of work. You start with one job. Then you give your coworker the tools, context and instructions it needs to handle the work from start to finish.
The pages say these coworkers can research, create, coordinate, follow up and get work done. You can connect your apps and data, and the pages mention 1500+ supported integrations. You can teach a coworker with pre-built skills, upload your own playbooks, or record yourself doing the work. Backdrop also keeps a shared memory, so people and A.I. coworkers can pick up where the work left off. A free Starter plan covers your first coworker, and paid plans are priced per coworker each month.

Our take (opinion)
Best for
- 🚀 Small teams that want A.I. to handle repeat jobs like follow-ups and reports
- Businesses that already use tools like Slack, Google or Shopify and want A.I. to work inside them
- People who'd like to teach A.I. by showing it a task
Watch out for
- ⚠️ Paid plans are priced per coworker, so costs can add up as you add more coworkers
- Plans run on credits, and the pages don't explain what uses them up
- The free Starter plan covers only your first coworker
