Stilla AI: The Team Agent Meta Just Bought
Stilla is an AI teammate for a whole company. You mention @Stilla in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear or GitHub, and it does the work in the tools your team already uses: writes the spec, opens the pull request, sends the follow-up, updates the ticket. It comes from a Stockholm startup founded by Siavash Ghorbani and Kaj Drobin, who co-founded Tictail and then built Shop and Shop Pay at Shopify.
Stilla came out of stealth in January 2026 with a $5 million pre-seed round led by General Catalyst. Its angel investors include Shopify president Harley Finkelstein, Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf and the CEOs of ElevenLabs, Lovable and Synthesia. Eight months later, on September 9, the founders announced that Stilla is joining Meta.
What Stilla does
The pitch on Stilla’s homepage is “one teammate for the whole company.” Everyone shares the same Stilla, so it carries context from one person’s Slack thread into another person’s Linear issue. The product has five parts:
- Mentions. Tag @Stilla in a Slack or Teams thread, a Linear issue, a GitHub pull request, a Discord channel, or send it an email. It reads the context and proposes the work.
- Automations. Describe a recurring job in plain English and Stilla turns it into an automation you can read and edit. It runs on a schedule or on events in Slack, GitHub, Linear, incoming email and webhooks. Each automation has its own permissions, down to which Slack channels, repos and email addresses it can touch.
- A coding agent. Stilla clones the repo, makes the change and opens a PR. It also reviews pull requests and leaves inline comments. It runs on its own sandboxed computer, so it can write scripts for itself when a task needs data crunched.
- Meeting notes. A desktop app for macOS and Windows records from your device audio, so no bot joins the call. It transcribes in 14 languages, writes shared notes and turns action items into proposed Linear tickets, emails and Slack updates.
- Integrations. Stilla says it works with more than 3,000 tools, and it accepts any MCP server for the rest.
Every action shows up as a proposal you approve with one click. Automations can switch to full autonomy once you trust them. Personal connections like your own Gmail stay private to you, and only shared connections such as public Slack channels are visible to the whole organization.
Stilla’s own customers describe the use in practical terms. One founder quoted on the homepage says it “acts as an EA, PM, Customer Success Engineer and PMM all in one for us.”
Stilla pricing
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Team | From $25 per organization a month, or $20 billed yearly | 20,000 credits a month, scaling up with more credits; up to 29 members |
| Enterprise | Talk to sales | Unlimited members, SAML SSO, SCIM, audit logs, custom data retention |
Pricing is per organization, not per seat, and the price climbs with the credit pool: 40,000 credits a month is $50 on monthly billing, 80,000 is $100. New workspaces get up to $100 in free credits with no card. Stilla is SOC 2 Type II certified and says it never trains models on customer data.
What the Meta deal means
Meta is folding Stilla’s team and technology into Meta Business Agent, the AI agent merchants use to answer customers on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram, according to Axios. Terms were not disclosed. We covered the deal the day it broke in our September 10 AI news roundup.
For existing customers, the founders’ post makes one commitment: “Stilla is continuing service and will remain the agent platform you rely on for mission critical work.” It does not give a timeline, a roadmap or a migration plan, and nothing in it says how Stilla’s data terms will sit alongside Meta’s.
That leaves three fair questions for a team running real work on Stilla today:
- Where does the roadmap go? The team now works on business messaging for Meta. New Slack, Linear and GitHub features compete with that for attention.
- Do the data terms change? Stilla’s no-training commitment is on its current site. Watch the privacy policy and terms of service for revisions.
- What is the fallback? Automations, skills and shared memory are the parts that take longest to rebuild somewhere else. Write down what yours do now, while everything still works.
Where Carly fits
If your team leans on Stilla for the operations side of the job (the follow-ups, the meeting prep, the triage, the status posts), that work is what Carly is built for. Carly works inside your Gmail or Outlook and your calendar, sends from your own address, and runs workflows that start on their own when a Slack message is posted, a GitHub issue opens, a Zoom recording finishes or a form comes in. It connects to thousands of apps, Slack, Linear and GitHub included, and the agents you build run for the whole team. Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. Get started here.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
