About Kavela
Kavela is an innovative AI infrastructure and agent platform designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in working with artificial intelligence: maintenance and hosting. While building an AI agent can take just minutes, keeping it alive, functional, and hosted reliably usually requires dedicated engineering resources. Kavela solves this by building, hosting, and running always-on agents directly inside communication tools like Slack and Telegram.
With Kavela, nothing is strictly preset. If an agent is missing a capability or requires a workflow change, users can simply instruct the agent to change, and it adapts dynamically without the need for traditional software feature requests. Security is also a core priority: user API keys stay securely isolated in inline cards and never touch the agent directly. Furthermore, agents share a unified organizational file system, making collaboration seamless. Proven at scale, early adopters across 50 organizations have successfully built 400 agents, executing over 20,000 automated runs autonomously.
Pros of Kavela
- Always-on agents that run continuously without manual supervision
- Seamless integration with popular communication platforms Telegram and Slack
- Dynamic, conversational updates—tell your agent to change and it adapts immediately
- Enhanced security with API keys staying in inline cards and never touching the agent
- Shared organizational file system for better agent collaboration
Cons of Kavela
- Limited to Slack and Telegram integrations based on current platform scope
- Requires initial descriptive prompt engineering to set up custom workflows
- Relies on organization-wide file systems which may require careful access structuring
