OpenTag

Open Curiosity, Inc.

Freemium

Model-agnostic AI coworker for Slack and Microsoft Teams that routes each task to the best of 80+ models and returns the work in-thread.

Model-Agnostic Routing: Routes each tagged task through Conifer to the best of 80+ models across Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen and more, cutting model spend by around 70%.
Lives in Slack and Teams: Works where the team already collaborates, so results come back in the same thread the request started in with no separate app to open.
Sandboxed Cloud Runs: Every run executes on its own cloud machine, scoped to connected tools and torn down on completion.
Self-Proposing Automations: When the same request repeats three times, OpenTag offers to own it on a schedule, and you approve once instead of configuring a workflow.
Self-Organizing Wiki: Writes and revises pages out of how the company actually operates, sourced to the originating threads, and notes what changed when a decision moves.
Per-Person Permissions: Everyone in a channel works with the same OpenTag, but access follows the individual who asked and invite-only channels stay private.
Connector Integrations: Works with HubSpot, Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, Zendesk, Notion, PostHog and your own database.
Human Sign-Off Gate: Holds any output that would leave the company until a person approves it, and posts finished work with the steps behind it.

Recurring Team Reports: Have the Monday metrics pulled, written and posted to a channel every week without anyone re-asking.
Invoice and Collections Chasing: Schedule a weekly invoice chase across Stripe and email, with anything customer-facing held for approval.
Institutional Knowledge Capture: Keep pricing, refund policy, customer tiers and runbooks current as decisions change in channels.
Cross-Tool Analysis: Audit CAC by campaign or similar questions that span HubSpot, Stripe, PostHog and an internal database.
Support and Ops Triage: Answer routine questions from company context in-thread so teammates stop interrupting each other.
Cost-Controlled AI Access: Give a whole workspace AI help on a shared credit pool instead of buying per-seat frontier-model licenses.
