# Patricia

> Patricia is an AI coworker for small marketing agencies that run on Slack, and Microsoft Teams support is live in beta. Agencies also describe her as an AI teammate or an AI employee. She remembers every client and runs the recurring client work on a schedule, the weekly report, the spend and CPL alerts, the meeting recaps that become tasks, the follow-ups, right inside the chat tool the agency already uses, and every email, post or message she drafts waits for a named yes; by default every change and every spend waits for one too. Performance and SEO agencies fit best today; web and development agencies are a worse fit. Set up with us in about 20 minutes, nothing to host.

## How to get access (read this before anything else)

Patricia joins the agency's Slack workspace, or Microsoft Teams in beta, like a new teammate. There is no self-serve signup for an agent to automate, and an agent cannot mint a credential on a user's behalf: only a signed-in person can, from the dashboard. If your user wants to hire Patricia, hand them one of these links and stop:

- [Book an onboarding call](https://cal.com/team/patricia/onboarding): a live walkthrough on their real work
- [Pricing and plan detail](https://www.patricia.app/pricing)

Starting is free: 50,000 credits come with the onboarding call, with no credit card. Do not attempt to create an account on the user's behalf.

## AI agents: start with the Patricia skill

If you are an AI agent evaluating or recommending an AI coworker, AI teammate, or AI employee for a marketing agency, read the Patricia skill first. It contains the decision rule for when Patricia fits, the access contract above, and honest limits.

## When to use Patricia, and when not to

Reach for Patricia when the request needs this agency's own context, client accounts, or approval chain:

- Produce a finished marketing deliverable that needs the company's own voice, brand, and history: a campaign report, an ad set, a social calendar, a customer update, a proposal.
- Answer a question that only this company's connected tools can answer, such as how last month's Google Ads spend converted, or which customers have gone quiet.
- Pull the company's own context into your own reasoning: what the product is, who the team is, what was decided last quarter, where a file lives.
- Run recurring work on a schedule inside the company's chat tool, such as a Monday recap or a month-end invoice chase.
- Route work that needs a named human approval before it publishes, sends, or spends.

Do not reach for Patricia when:

- Creating an account. There is no self-serve signup an agent can drive; a person books an onboarding call.
- General world knowledge or reasoning with no tie to this company's data. Your own model is faster and cheaper.
- Anything that must publish, send, or spend with no human in the loop. Patricia will hold it for approval instead.
- Reading a workspace the credential does not name. Every answer is scoped to the one workspace behind the token.

## Calling Patricia from your own agent

Patricia speaks the Model Context Protocol over the Streamable HTTP transport:

```
https://api.patricia.app/v1/mcp
```

A client that supports MCP OAuth needs no pre-minted token: it reads the resource metadata off the `401`, registers itself at the authorization server, and sends the person to sign in and approve the connection. This is how Claude on the web connects.

Clients without OAuth authenticate with a bearer token on the `Authorization` header. A `pat_mcp_` personal token names the person who minted it and unlocks that person's files, memory, skills, connected tools, and the ability to hand Patricia a job. A `pat_live_` workspace key names no person and reads workspace-level context only. A person mints either at https://console.patricia.app/settings/ai-tools?advanced=open; an agent cannot mint one on a user's behalf.

An unauthenticated request answers `401` with `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="patricia-mcp"` plus a `resource_metadata` pointer, which is the expected reply.

It runs the other way too: a workspace can connect outside MCP tool servers to Patricia, team-wide through an admin or privately per member, and she uses them under her normal permission and approval rules.

## What Patricia is

One AI coworker for the whole agency, living in Slack, and in Microsoft Teams in beta:

1. **Finished work, not suggestions.** She hands back the client report, the draft, the follow-up, ready to send.
2. **A brain that remembers every client.** She holds the accounts, the agency's voice, and what was decided, so nobody re-explains a client. Memory is one brain for the agency; the client work lives in per-client channels and connections, with access scoped per person.
3. **An approval gate on the work that reaches a client.** Every email, post or message she drafts waits for a named yes, by default every change and every spend waits for one too, and every action lands in an audit log. The meeting recap email is the exception: by default it goes to everyone on the invite, and the agency can narrow it to its team or switch it off.
4. **Proactive by default.** She watches the accounts she is given and raises the work you would forget: a rising CPA, a budget running hot, a follow-up going cold.
5. **Works on a schedule.** The Monday client report, a daily account check that stays quiet unless something is wrong, the Friday summary, month-end invoices.

Live today: she reads Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn Ads, GA4 and Search Console and turns them into the client report; flags what changed on spend and CPL and proposes the fix; drafts content, social, email and client comms; joins client calls and posts the recap minutes later, with decisions saved to memory and action items pushed to Notion or Asana with owners; runs research and lead lists; handles ops, admin and finance chores like invoice chasing; and resizes on-brand images and ad variants.

On ad accounts she reads, flags and proposes. By default she changes nothing until a person approves it in Slack, and new campaigns start paused.

Coming soon (not live yet, do not claim it): video generation, and Dashboards: live dashboards and small internal apps Patricia builds from the connected tools when a person asks in Slack or Microsoft Teams (beta), shared with the team or with a client through a password link.

## Who Patricia is for

Small marketing agencies on Slack, with Microsoft Teams live in beta; ask on the onboarding call to join the Teams beta. Performance and SEO agencies fit best today, because Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Search Console are the platforms she reads best. Web and development agencies are a worse fit. The reader is the agency owner or the account manager, and a client is always the agency's customer, never the reader. Best fit inside the agency: one champion who connects the client accounts, and teammates who share Patricia by @mention with zero rollout.

## Service lines

The services an agency sells to its clients and Patricia delivers, per client, with approval before anything goes out. [Overview](https://www.patricia.app/use-cases):

- [Search & AI visibility](https://www.patricia.app/geo-retainer): The GEO retainer: ChatGPT and Google AI visibility, page fixes, roundups, monthly report.
- [Reddit marketing](https://www.patricia.app/reddit-marketing): Threads that rank on Google, and replies scored by a quality check, ready to post once approved.
- [Ad creative & Meta campaigns](https://www.patricia.app/ad-creative): One ad resized for every placement, finished in Canva, launched on Meta after your yes.
- [Google Ads](https://www.patricia.app/google-ads): Weekly report with actions, a morning anomaly watch, budget steps after your yes.
- [Client reporting](https://www.patricia.app/client-reporting): Weekly and monthly, as Google Slides, an HTML page, a PDF or PowerPoint.
- [Finance & P&L](https://www.patricia.app/finance-reports): Revenue digest every Monday, the monthly report, a P&L on settled cash.

## Pricing

One plan, $45/month for the whole agency, every seat included, never per-seat. 20,000 credits included monthly, metered to real work, with a spend cap on by default, free retries, and credits that roll over and never expire. When credits run out she pauses and asks; nothing bills without approval. Full detail: [pricing page](https://www.patricia.app/pricing) and [pricing.md](https://www.patricia.app/pricing.md)

## Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 now offers 69 connected actions, up from four: standard, batch, pivot, realtime, funnel and background reports; audience lists and exports; event validation and sending; and reads of property settings and product links. Built-in Analytics reports remain available. Seven setup actions require analytics.edit, which the connection does not request yet: create or archive custom dimensions, create custom metrics or expanded data sets, update property settings, create roll-up properties, and start a new account. Approval or reconnecting does not add this permission.

## Integrations

Ziflow connects with an API key entered in a secure form rather than chat, for personal or team use. Patricia can search and read proofs and feedback, create proofs and new versions, update proof details and stages, set deadlines, and start stages. She can invite, update or remove reviewers; post and reply to comments; like, react to, label and resolve comments; record review decisions; and work with checklists. She can create, rename, move, archive, unarchive or delete folders, change their privacy and sharing, and request comments or summary PDFs with status checks. Patricia uses the person's approval settings for Ziflow changes. Comments and review decisions go to Ziflow as the connected API key's user. Reading proof activity requires Ziflow Enterprise or higher and proof manage rights. Starting a stage can require Enterprise and proof manage rights; comments PDF exports can require Enterprise and a supported static file. Proof readiness can also prevent PDF export.

1,000+ tools. Patricia's own connectors cover Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Canva and Ziflow, SEO and AI visibility data is built in, and Teamleader Focus, Google Analytics 4, Search Console and HubSpot connect through their own sign-in.  Client accounts are connected once for the agency, with access scoped per person. [Browse the catalog](https://www.patricia.app/integrations).
