Okou (formerly VM0)
Okou, the new name for VM0, is an AI teammate for teams: agents that pull data from connected tools, run scheduled or triggered workflows and return reports, decks, websites and drafts.
About this tool
Okou is the new name of VM0, and the company states that the team and the product have not changed. It positions itself as an AI teammate for a whole team rather than a personal chatbot. Work is assigned in a web app, in Slack or Telegram, or by phone and SMS, and agents collect what they need from connected services before handing back finished output.
Examples on its website include publishing a one-page site from a brand brief, preparing an email in Gmail for a person to send, scoring new leads against an ideal customer profile, grouping overnight error reports into GitHub issues and rebuilding a board deck from a finance spreadsheet. Runs can follow a schedule or start from triggers such as an incoming email, a calendar change, a completed meeting transcript or a signed webhook. Reusable workflows and skills let a team save a task once and let any agent run it.
Okou advertises more than 3,000 connectors, custom connectors for internal APIs, built-in web services such as search and page scraping, and image, presentation and website generation. Teams can connect an eligible personal Claude or Codex subscription or use organisation API keys and gateways. Its site lists GDPR and CCPA compliance, with SOC 2 Type II described as in progress.

Who is it for?

- An operations team schedules a weekly digest of shipped work posted to a Slack channel.
- An engineer has overnight error alerts grouped by cause and turned into tracked issues.
Before you choose
Usage is measured in credits shared across runs, generation and add-ons, so estimate a typical month before choosing member packages.
Agents act on connected accounts; review permissions and keep human approval for outgoing emails, payments or published pages.
Frequently asked questions
Is Okou the same product as VM0?
Yes. Okou’s website states that VM0 is now Okou, with the same team and product under a new name.
How is Okou priced?
A free plan includes 1,000 credits for 30 days; paid plans combine a plan fee with per-member credit packages and optional top-ups.
Does Okou send emails on its own?
Its examples show agents leaving drafts in Gmail that a person checks and sends, rather than messages going out automatically.
