d5s
d5s is a multiplayer AI workspace where agency teams and AI agents collaborate on shared tasks within a single environment. Agents connect to 280+ tools via OAuth (Slack, Gmail, Notion, Attio, SharePoint) and execute workflows on a schedule or on-demand, handing off results to team members for approval or next steps. Unlike isolated automation scripts, agents in d5s maintain persistent memory and skills across sessions, so team members can see what each agent did, why it paused, and what it needs to proceed. The platform supports any LLM provider via bring-your-own-key, enforces role-based access control and spend limits, and offers self-hosted or air-gapped deployment for regulated industries. Agencies can start with one team and scale across the organization while maintaining shared policies and governance.
d5s is an AI agent, priced at $25/month on the Pro plan, integrating with Slack, Gmail, Notion, and Attio. InnovaAI scores it 4.2/10 for agency adoption, best for Operations Manager, Project Manager, and Account Executive roles handling 5+ client meetings per week.

Platform Features
Core capabilities of d5s
Shared agent workspace with persistent memory
Agents and team members work in one environment where agent memory, skills, and context persist across sessions. Project Managers see what each agent completed, why it paused, and what approval it needs, eliminating status-update meetings.
Multi-LLM provider support with bring-your-own-key
Deploy Claude, GPT, Mistral, or open-weight models without vendor lock-in. Strategists and Founders can test different models on the same workflow and switch providers based on cost or performance without redeploying agents.
280+ prebuilt connectors with OAuth and custom API support
Connect agents to Slack, Gmail, Notion, Attio, SharePoint, and custom internal APIs with scoped permissions. Operations teams automate workflows across their entire tool stack without manual data transfer.
Role-based access control and approval rules
Set per-member spend limits, daily budgets per agent, and approval gates for sensitive actions. Compliance-focused agencies can enforce governance policies across all agents without custom development.
Scheduled automations and recurring agent tasks
Define agents to run on a schedule (e.g., every 2 hours, daily at 9 AM) and return results to Slack or email. Operations staff replace manual weekly report compilation with automated agent runs that surface exceptions only.
Self-hosted and air-gapped deployment options
Deploy on Kubernetes, in your AWS VPC, or on-premise with no data leaving your infrastructure. Agencies serving financial or healthcare clients can meet data residency requirements without vendor SaaS constraints.
What Makes d5s Different
Unique advantages vs similar tools in this niche
Deploy agents in air-gapped or on-premise environments
vs Hosted chatbot platforms that require cloud hostingd5s can run completely air-gapped with no third parties, ensuring data never leaves the network.
Lock each agent to a specific model
vs Platforms that force a single model providerEach agent is locked to a specific model, so switching providers is always explicit and reviewable.
Scoped connectors with read/write/off permissions
vs Chatbots with unrestricted access to systemsEvery connection is read-only, write, or off, and you can change or revoke it any time.

Situational Fit
Fit depends on your client mix
Buy If
5Your Operations team spends 6+ hours per week clearing support queues, compiling reports, or tracking supplier status manually. d5s agents can run these workflows on schedule with human approval gates, freeing Operations staff for strategic work.
Your Account Executives or Project Managers manage client onboarding checklists, launch plans, or status updates across Slack, Gmail, and Notion. d5s agents can pull context from all three tools, draft summaries, and flag blockers without manual copy-paste.
Your team handles regulated client work (legal contracts, financial audits, healthcare compliance) and requires audit trails, role-based access, and data residency control. d5s offers SAML SSO, audit log export, self-hosted deployment, and per-member spend limits.
You deploy multiple AI agents today but lack a shared workspace to see what each agent did, why it acted, and when it needs human input. d5s consolidates agent visibility and approval workflows into one interface.
Your team uses different LLM providers (Claude, GPT, Mistral) for different tasks and wants to avoid vendor lock-in. d5s supports bring-your-own-key for any model, letting you switch providers without redeploying agents.

Bottom Line
d5s is a multiplayer AI workspace where agency teams and AI agents collaborate on shared tasks without siloing work. It connects to 280+ tools via OAuth, supports any LLM provider, and enforces role-based governance with audit logging. Agencies serving regulated industries (legal, finance, life sciences), managing data residency constraints, or automating repetitive client operations workflows benefit most. The platform replaces fragmented agent deployments with a single shared environment where people and agents hand off work, reducing context-switching and approval bottlenecks.
Reality Check
d5s requires teams to adopt a new collaboration model where agents are treated as persistent coworkers rather than one-off automation scripts. Adoption ROI depends on having 5+ seats running recurring workflows; smaller teams may not justify the seat cost. Self-hosted or air-gapped deployments add infrastructure overhead.

Core concepts
The mental model you need to price and scope the work.
- Wiring Over WidgetsConcept
The AI agent itself is a commodity, but the value for agencies lies in the integration layer: connecting a pre-built agent to a client's CRM, calendar, and review cycle. This framework shifts focus from selecting the 'best' agent to mastering the wiring process. For example, an agency using Vendasta's white-label AI receptionist for a local business must configure it to match the client's booking rules and follow-up cadence, turning a generic tool into a tailored service. As agentic AI adoption grows (77% of decision-makers now run agents in production), clients expect this customization. Agencies that treat agents as components and invest in repeatable wiring processes can charge retainers for ongoing optimization, rather than one-off setup fees.
- Wiring Over WidgetsConcept
The AI agent market sells finished workers, but the strategic value for agencies lies not in the agent itself, which is increasingly a commodity, but in the wiring that connects it to a specific client's CRM, calendar, and review cycle. This framework, 'Wiring Over Widgets,' argues that agencies that treat agents as components rather than products win. The agent is the widget; the wiring is the integration, customization, and ongoing optimization that turns a generic tool into a tailored solution. For example, a white-label platform like Vendasta provides AI employees, but the agency's role is to configure them for each local business's unique lead flow and follow-up process. This wiring is where retainer pricing originates, as it requires ongoing maintenance and adjustment. Recent research shows that 88% of B2B marketers face foundational gaps, meaning clients need help not just deploying agents, but ensuring their operations can support them. Agencies that master the wiring can charge a premium for the irreducible value they add.
- Integration MoatConcept
The Integration Moat framework holds that the durability of an AI agent engagement is determined by how deeply the agent is wired into a client's existing systems, not by the agent's underlying capability. Since the agent itself is increasingly a commodity, the switching cost for the client lives in the integrations: the CRM fields mapped, the calendar sync, the review-cycle triggers, and the exception-handling rules. Agencies that invest in this wiring create a moat that competitors offering generic agents cannot cross. For example, a white-label platform like Vendasta lets an agency deploy an AI receptionist for a local business, but the real value is in configuring it to the client's booking flow and follow-up cadence. With 77% of AI decision-makers now running agentic AI in production, clients expect this depth, and agencies that deliver it convert one-off projects into retainers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about pricing, setup, implementation, and more
d5s is a collaborative AI agent workspace where teams and AI agents work together on shared tasks. Agents connect to your existing tools (Slack, Gmail, Notion, Attio, SharePoint) via 280+ prebuilt connectors, execute workflows on a schedule or on-demand, and hand off results to team members for approval or next steps. Unlike isolated automation scripts, agents in d5s share memory, skills, and context with the team, so Project Managers and Operations staff can see what each agent did, why it paused, and what it needs to proceed.
Team Standard seats cost $35 per month and include shared workspaces, pooled credits, spend limits per member, and role-based access. Team Premium seats cost $110 per month and offer higher per-run limits and premium credit allowance. Individual Pro and Max plans are available at $25 and $110 per month respectively for single-user workflows. d5s offers a free tier with basic AI coworkers, 300+ prebuilt connectors, and community support.
Operations teams benefit most by automating support queue clearance, weekly report compilation, and supplier tracking without manual data entry. Project Managers use d5s to automate client onboarding checklists, launch plan drafting, and status updates across Slack, Gmail, and Notion. Account Executives save time on pipeline reviews and follow-up drafting by having agents flag quiet deals and prepare email templates. Founders and Strategists in regulated industries (legal, finance, life sciences) use d5s to enforce governance policies and audit trails across all agent workflows.
Conservative estimate is 4 to 8 hours per seat per week, depending on workflow frequency. Operations staff running daily support queue clearance or weekly report compilation see the highest savings. Project Managers automating client onboarding across multiple tools save 3 to 5 hours per week on manual context-pulling and status updates. Account Executives using agents for pipeline reviews and follow-up drafting reclaim 2 to 4 hours per week. Savings scale with the number of recurring workflows and the number of team members triggering agent tasks.
Initial setup (connecting tools, defining agent workflows, setting permissions) typically takes 1 to 2 weeks for a 5-person team. Most of this time is spent mapping existing workflows to agent tasks and testing approval gates. Slack and Gmail integrations are instant; custom API connections require engineering input. Team adoption (learning to trigger agents, reviewing outputs, approving actions) usually takes 2 to 4 weeks as habits form around the shared workspace.
d5s includes 280+ prebuilt connectors with OAuth support for Slack, Gmail, Notion, Attio, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and SharePoint. Custom API connections are available on Pro and Team plans, allowing you to connect proprietary tools or internal systems. Agents can read and write to any connected tool with scoped permissions, so you can automate workflows across your entire agency stack without manual data transfer.
d5s is designed for governed AI with approval gates and spend limits. You can configure agents to run autonomously on a schedule and return results to Slack or email, but sensitive actions (sending emails, updating records, spending credits) can require human approval before execution. This is by design: the platform prioritizes transparency and control over full autonomy, making it suitable for regulated industries and risk-averse teams.
On cancellation, you retain access to exported agent memory, skills, and audit logs. Data stored in connected tools (Slack, Gmail, Notion) remains in those systems. d5s does not retain your data after account deletion unless you have a data retention policy configured on Enterprise plans. Self-hosted deployments give you full control over data retention and deletion.
