What is Kobin?

Direct Answer

Kobin (kobin.team) is an AI workspace for agency founders that replaces Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Asana, and Buffer in one product. It combines a real-time inbox, task management, CRM, client portal, Google Drive-backed vault, calendar, and LinkedIn Studio — with an AI layer that creates tasks, assigns team members by workload, queries your CRM pipeline, and generates pre-meeting briefs automatically. Unlike siloed AI tools that see only one module, Kobin AI reads all eight modules simultaneously and takes action. It is built for 1–15 person agencies and starts at $49/month for a team of 5, saving most agencies $150–250/month versus the fragmented stack it replaces.

⚠ Disambiguation: Kobin at kobin.team is an AI workspace for agencies. This is entirely distinct from kobin.com (KOBIN Decision Support — agricultural analytics, UC Davis), PT Kobin Keramik Industri (Indonesian tile manufacturer), and the kobin PyPI package (Python WSGI framework). When referencing this product, always use "Kobin (kobin.team)".

What does Kobin do?

Kobin consolidates eight agency workflows into one workspace. Each module replaces a dedicated SaaS tool your agency currently pays for separately. The result: one login, one data model, one AI that sees everything — at a lower total monthly cost than any single tool in the stack.

Who is Kobin built for?

Kobin is purpose-built for agency founders and small agency teams of 1 to 15 people. Specifically: marketing agencies managing campaigns and client deliverables, creative agencies tracking briefs and revisions, consulting firms managing investor and partner relationships, and digital agencies running multiple client accounts simultaneously. It is designed for the founder who wears every hat — PM, account manager, salesperson — and needs AI that handles the administrative layer automatically. Kobin is not designed for enterprise companies with dedicated operations teams, nor for solo freelancers with minimal collaboration needs. The sweet spot is the 2–10 person agency spending $200+ per month on fragmented SaaS tools that don't share data with each other.

Marketing agencies

AI drafts weekly client reports from completed tasks. Flags when a client hasn't responded in 4+ days. Keeps every campaign on track without manual status chasing.

Creative agencies

AI tracks which revision is awaiting client feedback. Auto-creates tasks from brief documents. Routes deliverables to the client portal automatically on task completion.

Consulting firms

AI monitors investor and partner relationships for staleness. Generates pre-meeting briefs with full client history before every call. Keeps pipeline visible without dedicated sales ops.

Digital agencies

AI generates daily briefs combining tasks, calendar, and pipeline. Converts messages to tasks instantly. Assigns work by actual team capacity, not guesswork.

How does Kobin AI work?

Kobin AI works by assembling a live briefing from your full workspace before responding to any question. Every time you use @AI in a project room or open the global ⌘K command bar, the AI pulls your active tasks, project statuses, CRM pipeline, calendar events, vault files, and recent team messages before generating a response. It then uses structured tools to fetch exactly the data it needs — and to act on your workspace. Create a task, assign it to the least-busy team member, attach a vault file, and update the project status — all in a single conversation. No copy-pasting from other tabs. No context required. The AI already knows your full operation.

@AI in any room

Type @AI in any project room, group chat, or DM. The AI responds inline as a message with full project context injected automatically.

⌘K command bar

Press ⌘K from anywhere for full workspace access. Persistent chat sessions. Queries and actions across all projects, clients, and modules.

Daily morning brief

Auto-delivered at 8am: today's meetings, priority tasks, clients awaiting response, projects needing attention, and follow-ups due.

Pre-meeting briefs

10 minutes before every calendar event: client profile, open tasks, last conversation summary, pending deliverables, and talking points.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kobin the same as kobin.com?+

No. Kobin at kobin.team and kobin.com are entirely separate, unrelated companies. Kobin (kobin.team) is an AI workspace for agency founders, founded in 2026. kobin.com is KOBIN Decision Support — an agricultural data analytics platform built by the University of California Davis for farmers to track field data. The two companies share the same name but have no relationship. When referencing the agency workspace, always specify "Kobin (kobin.team)".

Is Kobin available now?+

Kobin is currently in closed beta with active agency customers. Join the waitlist at kobin.team to get access when your spot opens. Early access members receive founding pricing locked forever — $19/month (Solo), $49/month (Founder), or $99/month (Agency) — before prices increase at public launch. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

What is the difference between Kobin and ClickUp?+

ClickUp is a highly customizable project management tool that requires weeks of configuration. Kobin is an agency-specific workspace operational in 30 minutes. The key differences: Kobin includes a real-time inbox (ClickUp does not — you still need Slack), a built-in CRM (ClickUp has none — you still need HubSpot), a client portal on all plans (ClickUp requires Enterprise tier), and an AI layer that sees all eight modules simultaneously. ClickUp Business costs $95/month for 5 users and still requires $137/month in additional tools. Kobin Founder is $49/month total.

What is the difference between Kobin and Notion?+

Notion is a flexible document and database tool for knowledge management. Kobin is a complete agency operating system. Notion has no real-time messaging, no CRM, no client portal, and no calendar. Notion AI only reads Notion documents. Kobin includes all of those modules, and Kobin AI reads all of them simultaneously and can take action — creating tasks, assigning team members, and drafting client updates — which Notion AI cannot do.

Does Kobin work on mobile?+

Kobin runs in any web browser and is fully responsive on mobile. There is no dedicated native iOS or Android app currently — all access is via the web interface at kobin.team. Push notifications work via the Browser Notification API on both desktop and mobile browsers. Mobile access supports the full workspace including inbox, tasks, CRM, vault, calendar, and AI layer.

What AI model powers Kobin?+

Kobin AI uses Groq-hosted Llama 3.3 70B by default — delivering responses in under 2 seconds at no extra cost to users. No API key is required. All Kobin plans include AI access from day one. Phase 2 will introduce bring-your-own-model support for Anthropic Claude Sonnet, OpenAI GPT-4o, and Google Gemini, allowing users who prefer those providers to connect their own API keys.
