When we started building Pulse, people kept asking the same question: "So it's like ChatGPT for productivity?"
No. Not even close.
ChatGPT is a conversational AI. It helps you think. What we are building at aicoo.io is an AI COO — an agent that doesn't just help you think, but actually operates on your behalf. It answers questions from your stakeholders, books meetings from your calendar, and coordinates across organizational boundaries. All while knowing exactly what information each person is allowed to see.
That's why we chose the name AICOO. It captures what this is: an AI Chief Operating Officer.
What a COO Actually Does
In a company, the COO handles the operational complexity so the CEO can focus on strategy. The COO routes information, coordinates between departments, manages schedules, ensures the right people have the right context at the right time, and handles the thousand small decisions that keep an organization running.
Knowledge workers don't have COOs. But they face the same operational complexity. The average professional spends 57% of their time on coordination: emails, scheduling, context-sharing, follow-ups, status updates. This is the coordination tax, and it scales with every new relationship, project, and stakeholder.
An AI COO handles this operational layer so you can focus on the work that actually requires your judgment and creativity.
Why "Assistant" Is the Wrong Word
The AI industry calls everything an "assistant." But assistants wait for instructions. They do what you tell them. You remain the bottleneck because every task still flows through you.
An AI COO is different:
- Assistants draft emails. An AI COO sends them, answers replies, and schedules the follow-up meeting.
- Assistants summarize meetings. An AI COO distributes action items to the right people with the right context.
- Assistants are single-tenant. An AI COO operates across boundaries, representing you to external parties through a coordination layer.
The shift from assistant to COO is the shift from "help me do my work" to "do the operational work so I can focus on what matters."
The Security Problem We Had to Solve
Here's why nobody built this before. For an AI to operate on your behalf externally, it needs broad context: your calendar, your email history, your project details, your relationships. But the moment you give an AI that much context and point it at external parties, you have a massive security problem.
What if it mentions salary discussions to a candidate? What if it shares internal roadmap details with a competitor? What if adversarial input tricks it into leaking confidential data?
This is the context-security paradox. More context makes the AI COO more useful. More context also makes it more dangerous.
Current AI solves this with prompt-based safety: "Don't share confidential information." But prompt-based safety is brittle under adversarial input. One cleverly crafted question can bypass it.
Pulse solves this with physical context isolation. Mountable Context Cells ensure that when your AI COO talks to an investor, it physically cannot access your HR data. Not because a prompt tells it not to, but because that data does not exist in the agent's context for that interaction.
This is what makes AICOO possible. Without access-aware security, an AI COO is a liability. With it, it's a force multiplier.
What AICOO Looks Like Today
Today at aicoo.io, Pulse works through limited agent deployment:
- You share a Pulse link instead of a static document or deck.
- Recipients talk to your AI COO to get answers about your project, product, or proposal.
- Your agent books meetings directly from your calendar.
- Zero signup required for the other side.
This is not a chatbot on a landing page. It's your AI COO, operating with your real context, your real calendar, and your real constraints — with access-aware boundaries ensuring each recipient sees only what they should.
Where AICOO Goes Next
Phase 1 is limited agent deployment — one-directional coordination where you deploy your agent for others to interact with.
Phase 2 is the network of agents. When recipients claim their own AI COO at aicoo.io, both sides have agents. Scheduling becomes instant. Context sharing becomes bidirectional. The coordination tax drops dramatically.
Phase 3 is full agent-to-agent coordination. Your AI COO negotiates with their AI COO using cryptographic trust and granular access boundaries. Humans set the strategy. Agents handle the operations.
The future of work isn't humans coordinating faster. It's agents coordinating for humans. And it starts at aicoo.io.
Launch your AI COO or join the waitlist to be part of the network.
