What You Can Build with Copera AI
The tools in Copera are free. The intelligence is the product. Chat, boards, documents, video meetings, drive, a shared inbox, whiteboards, e-signatures — you get all of it free, for unlimited members. What makes Copera different is the layer no stack of disconnected apps can offer: an AI that lives inside your unified data and does the work.
This is the playbook. Below are 58 real, buildable ways to put that intelligence to work — organized by team. Every one is something you can set up today (or, where noted, is rolling out). Each links to a recipe that shows you exactly how.
How every recipe works
There are three ways to put any recipe into action, and most teams use all three:
Open the Automations builder and connect blocks on a visual canvas: a trigger (what starts it), conditions, actions, and AI steps. Full control, no code.
Describe what you want in plain English to Ask Copera AI and it assembles the automation — or does the task directly. You review before anything runs.
Put a named AI teammate in charge so it runs on its own, on a schedule, under its own identity. Rolling out in early access.
Standing AI teammates are rolling out gradually. If you don't see them in your workspace yet, they're on the way — and everything in this playbook can be built today as an Automation.
Readiness legend: Available now — build it today as an automation or by asking Copera AI. · Early access — the autonomous standing-teammate version is rolling out. · Coming soon — waiting on a capability we're still building.
Start here — eight recipes to try first
After a call, extract action items and create assigned, trackable rows on the right board — stamped "AI-created" for review.
Research topics, draft posts with AI images as board rows for approval, then publish to WordPress — the flagship content pipeline.
Turn a week of board activity into a plain-language status update, posted to your team channel every Friday.
Find leads that have gone quiet in your pipeline and DM the right rep to follow up before the deal goes cold.
Every evening, read the team's boards and report how everyone's doing and who might need help tomorrow.
Greet each new member, share a checklist, and check in on their progress through their first weeks.
Watch the finance board and DM owners about overdue invoices so nothing slips through the cracks.
Let anyone DM a question and get an answer drawn straight from your team's own documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can Copera AI actually do for my team?
It runs the repetitive work that lives across your boards, documents, chat, meetings, and calendar. Because your data is unified, it has real context: it can turn a meeting into assigned tasks, nudge owners about stale work, compile a weekly status digest, draft and publish content, chase overdue invoices, and answer from your own documents. The 58 recipes above are concrete starting points.
Do I need to write code to build these?
No. Build any recipe on the visual Automations canvas, or describe it in plain English to Ask Copera AI and let it assemble the automation for you. You review everything before it runs.
How much does Copera AI cost?
The platform and all its tools are free for unlimited members. You pay only for the intelligence: pooled AI credits and automation credits, both metered transparently with usage dashboards and per-automation spend caps.
Can I hire an AI agent that works on its own?
Yes — standing AI teammates that run on a schedule under their own identity are rolling out in early access. Until one reaches your workspace, build the same outcome today as an automation.
Is my data safe when the AI acts?
The AI only acts within your own permissions — it can see and do exactly what you can. By default it asks before every change, and you choose the permission mode from Plan only through Act without asking.
