Monroe

About Monroe

Built so a 30-person team
ships like 60.

Monroe is an AI employee for Slack and Microsoft Teams — not another tool with a chat interface bolted on. Hire it. Set a budget. Put it to work on the operational tasks no one wants to do.

What we believe

The principles every
line of code respects.

01

A receipt for every action.

Every Monroe run produces a 2-line summary in the channel where it happened. We don’t hide what the agent did or what it cost. Trust is the product.

02

Humans approve, agents execute.

Anything that sends, modifies, or commits anything externally-visible needs explicit human approval. Drafts? Monroe. Sends? You. Every time.

03

Cap means cap.

Spend caps are enforced at the LLM provider layer, not just in our app. Even a buggy agent loop can’t blow through your budget. No "surprise" invoices ever.

04

Flat pricing, not per-seat.

One flat fee for your whole workspace. Add or remove teammates without changing the bill. Pricing should reward usage, not roster churn.

05

Open standards over lock-in.

OAuth for connectors. Model Context Protocol for the long-tail. Customer-controlled keys. We don’t want to be the only thing you can switch off — that would mean you’d resent us by month six.

06

Restraint over magic.

We don’t ship features unless we can articulate what they prevent the team from having to do. AI products tend toward bloat. Ours doesn’t.

Story

Why Monroe exists.

Why we started Monroe

Every team we worked with was buying $30/seat AI tools and getting demos, not work. We wanted the inverse — an employee that’s up to date on the team’s tools, gets cheaper to operate as it learns, and posts receipts when it’s done. Slack-native because that’s where the team already lives.

Why per-workspace pricing

Per-seat economics push vendors to sell more seats. We don’t want to sell more seats — we want to be useful to whoever asks. A workspace is the unit of work; that’s the unit we charge for.

Why we ship slowly on purpose

Every Monroe action touches data the customer pays to keep secure. We ship features only after they pass an internal review against the approval, audit, and cost-control invariants. Slow on features, fast on receipts.

About FAQ

The company behind Monroe.
Honest answers, no spin.

Who is behind Monroe?

Pacific Software Ventures — a small team that previously built and shipped operational tooling at venture-backed startups. Headquartered in California, fully remote. Hello@getmonroe.com hits an actual person.

How do you make money?

Two ways. Three self-serve workspace tiers (Solo $399/mo, Team $1,495/mo, Business $4,995/mo) plus Enterprise contracts. That’s the entire revenue model. We do not resell your data, do not take usage-based markup beyond model passthrough, and do not earn affiliate fees from the tools we integrate with. Margins come from cache efficiency and workspace-scale economics, not from squeezing customers.

Why per-workspace and not per-seat?

Because seat-based pricing punishes you for inviting your teammates. Monroe’s value scales with workspace activity, not headcount — adding the marketing intern doesn’t cost us anything extra, so it shouldn’t cost you anything extra either. One flat workspace price, every teammate included.

What stage is the company in?

Pre-launch / private beta as of mid-2026. Pacific Software Ventures is self-funded with multi-year runway. Onboarding is gated to keep the early experience tight — we’d rather have 200 happy workspaces than 20,000 frustrated ones. Public launch is later this year.

How do I give feedback or contact you?

Email hello@getmonroe.com for anything. Security disclosures go to security@getmonroe.com. Enterprise inquiries go to enterprise@getmonroe.com. Average reply is four business hours — usually much faster.
