Run your business with Muse, ChatGPT, Claude or Grok

Your AI agent doesn't need five more apps. It needs one business system.

Padrino gives Muse, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and other agents a connected place to manage the work and records behind your business.

Connect

An API key and a manifest. That's the whole integration.

Any agent that can call an API or an MCP server can use all of Padrino. Create a key, choose its permissions, and point your AI at the manifest: a machine readable list of every operation the key is allowed to perform.

Muse and Muse for Small Business, from Meta

Muse for business, on Padrino.

Muse is the personal AI agent Meta launched in September 2026, and Muse for Small Business extends it to work software. It is a capable front end for getting things done. What it needs to run a business is somewhere the business actually lives.

  • Instead of connecting a separate accounting app, CRM, project tool and file store, Muse connects to Padrino once.
  • Muse can read and update real books, customers, projects and invoices, not just draft messages about them.
  • Everything Muse does is recorded in Padrino, with the approvals you set.

GPT-6 Astra and dots, from OpenAI

ChatGPT for business, on Padrino.

ChatGPT now runs on GPT-6 Astra, and OpenAI's dots are always-on agents with their own cloud computers and approval rules. Agents that can work across thousands of apps are only as useful as the systems they are given.

  • Connect ChatGPT once instead of assembling separate systems for books, customers, projects and documents.
  • Padrino gives GPT-6 Astra agents structured records with rules, so work is checked by the system, not only by the model.
  • Switch between ChatGPT and other assistants without moving your business.

Claude Opus and Claude Fable, from Anthropic

Claude for business, on Padrino.

Claude, from Anthropic, runs on models like Claude Opus and Claude Fable and connects to outside tools through MCP custom connectors. It is excellent at reasoning through business problems. Padrino gives it persistent business records and operational capabilities to act on.

  • Add Padrino as a custom connector, or call the API directly with a key.
  • Claude remembers the business because the business is in Padrino: every customer, project, entry and document.
  • Claude drafts, Padrino validates, and you approve what reaches the ledger or the customer.

Grok Bot and Team Bots, from SpaceXAI

Grok for business, on Padrino.

Grok Bot, from SpaceXAI, is a team of always-on AI teammates that get their own cloud computer, sign into your tools, and come back with finished work. A team of bots works best when the business has one system of record instead of a dozen logins.

  • Give Grok Bot one Padrino key instead of credentials to five separate apps.
  • Bots working in parallel share the same records, so nothing is duplicated or out of sync.
  • Every bot's work shows up in Padrino with an owner, a status and an audit trail.

A new service business explains what it sells.

Padrino prepares a website structure, CRM stages, an invoicing workflow and a starter chart of accounts, ready for approval.

The agent works with leads, projects, documents, invoices and financial context through one Padrino connection.

Specialized work goes to a Padrino specialist.

Alicia or another Padrino agent handles work that needs deeper business rules, structured approvals or persistent follow through.

04

The owner switches AI providers a year later.

Every record, decision and document stays in Padrino. The new AI connects and carries on.

Questions

How does an AI agent connect to Padrino?

Create an API key in Padrino, choose what it is allowed to do, and give it to your agent along with the manifest address. The manifest lists every operation the key can call. Agents that prefer MCP can use the Padrino MCP server with the same key.

Which agents are supported?

Any agent that can call an HTTP API or an MCP server: Muse, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok Bot, and agents you build yourself. More guided connections are added over time.

Is Padrino affiliated with Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic or SpaceXAI?

No. Padrino is independent. We name these assistants because customers use them, and Padrino is designed to work with whichever one you prefer.

What can the agent actually do?

Everything a person on your team can do in Padrino, limited to the permissions on its key: read and draft accounting, manage customers and deals, run projects, store documents, send invoices and update the website.

Do I still need Padrino's own agents?

Not necessarily. External agents are great for general reasoning. Padrino's agents are there for specialized, scheduled or accountable work, like closing the books every month or following up every open quote.

Is my data used to train anyone's model?

Padrino does not train models on your business data. What your external AI provider does with what you send it is governed by your agreement with them.

Start with one connected system instead of assembling a stack of subscriptions first.
