OpenLazarus offers AI teammates for business: ready-made roles, each with an inbox, a phone number and limits the company sets, that work on the same records as the company's staff⁠1AI employees for your business: ready-made teammatesOpenLazarus. They sit inside an operating system that also holds the CRM, mail, calendar, operations and finance modules, and that the company owns⁠2Frequently asked questionsOpenLazarus.

Best for: Established companies that want AI teammates with their own inbox and phone number to work on the same customer, finance and operations records as their staff.

Not the right fit for: Teams that only want a personal assistant inside the tools they already use, or that are not prepared to move records into a new system.

What OpenLazarus teammates do

Its library lists 18 ready-made roles across sales, customer service, finance, operations, people, marketing and administration, among them a sales development rep, a billing-and-collections teammate, a bookkeeper, a purchasing teammate, a field-service dispatcher and a receptionist⁠1AI employees for your business: ready-made teammatesOpenLazarus. The receptionist, for example, is described as answering every call, taking messages, putting callers through to the right person and booking appointments into the calendar⁠3Omar Haddad, Receptionist (agent library)OpenLazarus. Custom teammates are built to order, with their own role, inbox, phone number and limits.

The company decides what each teammate runs automatically and what needs a person's approval⁠2Frequently asked questionsOpenLazarus. Its manufacturing page gives the example of a material order over $20,000, or a change to a promised ship date, waiting for approval, and states that every action is logged where staff can see it⁠4OpenLazarus for manufacturingOpenLazarus. The code and data belong to the customer; hosting is managed, can move to the customer's own cloud, and European companies can run on servers in the EU⁠25Frequently asked questionsOpenLazarusPricingOpenLazarus.

Teams under 30 people design their system and its teammates in a free builder, with no account needed, and choose a published plan; larger companies start with a session with the engineering team⁠6Design your company’s operating systemOpenLazarus. A yearly AI-Architect engagement is recommended for companies above 100 people⁠5PricingOpenLazarus.

The activity figures shown on its agent cards, such as calls answered, are product examples rather than customer results.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

• Each AI teammate has its own inbox and phone number, so customers and suppliers can reach it directly.
• Teammates work on the same records as staff, inside one system that also holds the CRM, mail, calendar and finance modules.
• The company decides what runs automatically and what needs a person’s approval, and actions are logged where staff can see them.
• Publishes its plan, hosting and support prices; the code and data belong to the customer, with an EU hosting option.

Limits

• Teammates live inside the OpenLazarus system, so most of the benefit depends on moving CRM, mail and phone work into it.
• The activity figures on its agent cards are product examples, not customer results. Named-customer results are CEO statements published by OpenLazarus.
• Companies of 30 or more people start with an engineering session rather than a self-serve plan.
• The pages we read list no security certifications.

Choose another option if: You want one assistant to work across the Gmail, Outlook and Slack your team already uses (Lindy), or your company runs on Microsoft 365 and wants agents inside it (Microsoft 365 Copilot).

Pricing

Published: Starter $100 a month or Pro $300 a month, each including the same amount in AI credits; managed hosting from $150 a month; optional engineering support from $4,500 a month.
