# Run

> Run is an AI-native system to run everything you need to do. Instead of juggling a separate AI chat tool, workflow builder, and set of point integrations, Run brings chat, flows, connected tools, content generation, and monitoring together in one system built around the work you're trying to accomplish. Run is built around a simple idea: AI should be practical, private, connected, and affordable.

Run combines instant chat, scheduled and event-triggered flows, app integrations, content generation (images, video, podcasts, and social content), and open-source AI models in one AI-native system. Describe what you want to accomplish and Run works out how to get there: connect to 200+ apps and MCP servers, run recurring or event-based flows, and report back through a smart inbox with brief summaries. Run also continuously evaluates and runs the best open-weight and open-source models behind the scenes, so users focus on the work instead of comparing models, benchmarks, or providers.

## Key Facts

- Company: Run (runeverything.ai), founded in Africa with the ambition to compete on a global scale, including a path toward building inference infrastructure and providers on the continent.
- Category: AI-native system — describe what you need done, connect your tools, and stay focused with briefs and a unified inbox, all in one place instead of a stack of separate AI apps.
- Connects to 200+ apps and integrations, including Gmail, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Notion, Outlook, OneDrive, Shopify, Discord, WhatsApp, Linear, custom APIs, and MCP servers.
- No-code: users describe what they want to accomplish in plain language and Run turns it into working flows, with no coding or AI-model expertise required. Most flows can go from idea to running in minutes.
- Model handling: powered primarily by leading open-weight and open-source AI models, continuously evaluated behind the scenes for the best balance of performance, privacy, and cost, so users never have to pick a model themselves.
- Flows: recurring or event-driven work set up once and run on any schedule, with every action logged.
- Tags: group related Flows by context, such as Sales, Marketing, or HR, and use them to scope access across your team.
- Smart Inbox: a unified inbox with "Glance" brief summaries that distill activity into a quick overview and flag what needs attention.
- Memory: Run keeps context across your Flows, so actions build on what happened before instead of starting from scratch.
- Custom Database: connect your own database and keep your operational data under your control, while Run handles the intelligence.
- Channels: take Run beyond the workspace through controlled experiences like embeddable chat widgets, APIs, and custom services, including AI-powered customer support with voice calls listed as coming soon.
- Media: create and transform images, video, podcasts, and social content from the same system used for chat and flows.
- Monitor: visibility into executions, tools, tokens, costs, and performance across the workspace.
- Philosophy: not every app needs AI. Run is built for the times AI genuinely helps, not as a bolt-on to every tool — people should be free to use the software they already love without AI bloat, and reach for Run when they actually need AI.
- Support: Run is built and run by a small, agile team that is directly reachable, rather than an enterprise support queue.
- Security: open-weight and open-source models, zero data retention where supported, encrypted data at rest, revocable credentials, and infrastructure backed by trusted platforms like Cloudflare.
- Pricing: "Tailored plans that scale with you." Specific plans, prices, and included features (flows, chat widgets, credits, seats) are listed dynamically on the pricing page.

## FAQ

### Who is Run for?

Run is built for individuals, startups, and teams who want to get more done without managing a growing collection of tools. Whether you're running a business, managing a team, or working on your own, Run brings the systems you use and the work you need to get done together.

### Do I need technical knowledge to use Run?

No. Run is designed for technical and non-technical users. You can describe what you want to accomplish in plain language and Run helps turn it into working flows and actions without requiring you to write code.

### What can I use Run for?

Run can handle work that happens across your tools and on a schedule. Use it to handle support queries, manage client invoicing, follow up on sales, monitor trends, generate reports, research topics, create content, and much more. If a process involves information, tools, and actions, Run can help run it.

### How is Run different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?

ChatGPT and most AI tools hand you raw AI, a model that only responds when you prompt it. Run is the layer that turns that into an operating system: flows that run on their own, so the work AI is supposed to free you from, things that need you constantly present, manual processes, growth that would normally mean hiring, actually gets handled without you driving every step.

### Which AI models does Run use?

Run handles the models for you. We continuously evaluate and improve the models powering Run so you can benefit from better capabilities without having to compare models, manage providers, or maintain multiple AI subscriptions.

### Is my data secure?

Yes. Privacy and security are built into Run. We use encrypted storage, secure and revocable credentials, and zero data retention where supported. Run is designed to give you the capabilities of an AI-native system while keeping your data and connected accounts under your control.
