Maito is one ready AI teammate your whole company works with in Slack and its AI assistants.** They aim at the same job: a company agent that knows your business, works across your tools, writes tested pull requests, and runs scheduled work. Adapt gives you the parts and the controls. Maito gives you the finished teammate and keeps the model choice with you.

Templates cover jobs like ad-spend checks, changelogs, issue-to-pull-request work, and website checks, and developers extend it with APIs, MCP, and a CLI.

Checks pass. > Reply to the customer is drafted below, with a workaround until the fix ships. ## What do Maito and Adapt cost? **Maito costs $149 per workspace per month with unlimited people, plus your AI provider's usage and any cloud credits beyond the included $20.
