AI originally entered most workplaces as a thinking partner, helping with menial tasks like drafting emails, summarizing meetings, and sometimes answering questions faster than a Google search. But for most businesses, that’s still where the story ends — a faster, smarter assistant that still needs a human to finish the job.
That gap is what Superpal, a Vilnius-based AI startup, is building to close. Launching today, the platform enables users to deploy a single AI agent in a company’s Slack that connects to over 1,000 tools and handles tasks end-to-end. Simultaneously, the company is announcing a €500k pre-seed round led by FIRSTPICK, with participation from the Outlast fund.
An AI Coworker That Handles Tasks End-to-End
Most AI tools on the market today are built around a conversational model, where the user prompts the agent with a question or task, to which the agent responds.
The model that Superpal proposes is built around outcomes. The agent maintains shared memory across the team, respects role-based access controls, manages privacy at the organizational level, and sees a task through from the first instruction to the final deliverable using real company data.
In practice, a team member types a request into Slack — to prep a pipeline review, draft a weekly update, prepare a sales presentation before a call — and the agent does the rest. It connects to the tools already in use, gathers what it needs across the stack, and returns a finished output. As such, the founders note that their solution is best suited to 5–50 person companies with established processes that want to scale without hiring.
“Businesses don’t need another tool that helps them think,” says Martynas Čepas, co-founder and CEO of Superpal. “They need solutions that bring results. That’s what we built: a colleague that works inside the tools your team already uses, understands the context of your business, and gets things done.”
The founders are self-described AI tinkerers, always experimenting with the latest tools, and it was through that curiosity that the idea was born. “What we saw was a huge and ever-increasing gap between AI power users and everyone else. Hence, we sought out to bring the most state-of-the-art AI technology and to empower every business without the hassle of learning new skills. The choice to live inside the native communication channel, Slack, and create a coworker persona is a deliberate one. To be empowered by AI does not mean you have to be a technologist or a developer,” explained Čepas.
That origin story is backed by early traction that is difficult to ignore: of the company’s first three pilot customers, two wanted to invest. One — FIRSTPICK, a venture capital fund, became the lead investor in the pre-seed round. The other, a social media marketing agency, Caption, converted into a strategic advisor and an active ambassador for the product. The round was completed by Outlast Fund.
“Businesses are overwhelmed by AI tools that excel at individual tasks but fail to understand the broader context of how work gets done. Superpal takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of building another assistant, the team is building an AI coworker that understands the company context, works across tools, and delivers end-to-end outcomes. Having used the product ourselves, we believe this is what the next generation of AI adoption inside businesses will look like,” says Andra Bagdonaite, General Partner at FIRSTPICK.
Capital Is Moving Into Autonomous Agents
Superpal enters a category that is currently attracting serious capital. Viktor.com, one of the most direct competitors in the autonomous agent space, recently closed a $75M Series A from Accel, a signal that the market for AI employees is no longer speculative.
Superpal positions itself as the team-native alternative: equally capable in terms of output quality, but built from the ground up for the privacy requirements, access structures, and agent memory layer necessary for real companies.
“The category is moving at lightning speed,” says Čepas. “Our advantage is that we spent a lot of time talking with customers to make sure that Superpal is natively built for a team environment. Everyone has access to the same large language models and different frameworks like Openclaw. But bringing these tools to a business environment to create real economic value in a secure way is a really difficult challenge. That’s what we solve for every business.”
New users can sign up and start using Superpal today, with $100 in free credits available to all accounts on signup.
