Meet Neople

At Neople, we believe that AI should serve humanity. That’s why we’re building digital coworkers who enable people to do more of what they love, and less of what they don’t.

Neople is reimagining how we work

By introducing digital coworkers that bring joy, clarity, and efficiency back to the everyday.

Our AI agents, called Neople, aren’t chatbots or virtual assistants — they’re collaborative, fully-trainable digital coworkers who plug into your tools, learn your workflows, and handle repetitive tasks with human-level care and brand alignment.

How we are doing it

With Neople Studio, teams can now manage their Neople with full transparency and control — from training them with documents, videos, and wikis, to auditing their decisions and shaping how they act, speak, and support your team.

No engineers needed.

Trusted by fast-scaling brands

Neople is trusted by fast-scaling brands across Europe like HOLY, Haarspullen, The Social Hub, and Shoeby — helping teams save time, reduce manual tasks, and deliver fast, on-brand customer experiences.
Manifesto
Work that brings joy

A new kind of work starts here

We believe technology should make our lives easier, more creative, more connected— and yes, more joyful.
Today’s workplaces are cluttered with tools and bogged down by repetitive tasks. We see a better future: one where digital coworkers handle the busywork so people can thrive.
Neople are not AI tools. They’re teammates, work besties, partners. And they’re here to bring the joy back to work.
Mission
Creating the best digital coworker

Not just AI agents, truly collaborative and personable colleagues.

Our mission is simple: 

To create the best digital coworker. One that fits seamlessly into your team, learns how you work, and takes care of the work that no longer needs a human touch.
Creating the best digital coworker means that your people can focus on what matters most.
Vision
Elevate and challenge

A world of Neople

We envision a world where humans and technology collaborate effortlessly. Where every team has the freedom to create, connect, and problem-solve, without being overwhelmed by manual tasks.
AI doesn’t just automate and speed up, but elevates and challenges us to show up more as our best selves.

Built for how your team really works

Collaborative AI, 
not cold automation

Give your Neople access to each platform required in the workflow either by creating a log in for them or activating an existing API connection.

Personality meets productivity

Every Neople is unique - reflecting your brand’s tone, voice, and values.

Transparent and trainable

With Neople Studio, you’re always in control: Adjust tone, edit tasks, and see exactly how your Neople thinks.

More human time

By eliminating repetitive tasks, Neople frees up time for real human connection and creativity.
