Superpal, a Vilnius-based AI startup, has raised €500,000 for its platform that serves as a fully autonomous AI coworker within a company’s Slack.
FIRSTPICK led the round, with participation from the Outlast Fund.
AI originally entered most workplaces as a thinking partner, helping with menial tasks like drafting emails, summarising meetings, and sometimes answering questions faster than a Google search. But for most businesses, that’s still where the story ends — a faster, smarter assistant that still needs a human to finish the job. That gap is what Superpal, a Vilnius-based AI startup, is building to close.
Launching today, the platform enables users to deploy a single AI agent in a company's Slack that connects to over 1,000 tools and handles tasks end-to-end.
The agent maintains shared memory across the team, respects role-based access controls, manages privacy at the organisational level, and sees a task through from the first instruction to the final deliverable using real company data.
In practice, a team member types a request into Slack — to prepare a pipeline review, draft a weekly update, prepare a sales presentation before a call — and the agent does the rest. It connects to the tools already in use, gathers what it needs across the stack, and returns a finished output.
“Businesses don’t need another tool that helps them think,” says Martynas Čepas, co-founder and CEO of Superpal.
“They need solutions that bring results. That’s what we built: a colleague that works inside the tools your team already uses, understands the context of your business, and gets things done.”
The founders are self-described AI tinkerers, always experimenting with the latest tools, and it was through that curiosity that the idea was born.
“What we saw was a huge and ever-increasing gap between AI power users and everyone else. Hence, we sought out to bring the most state-of-the-art AI technology and to empower every business without the hassle of learning new skills. The choice to live inside the native communication channel, Slack, and create a coworker persona is a deliberate one. To be empowered by AI does not mean you have to be a technologist or a developer,” explained Čepas.
Of the company’s first three pilot customers, two wanted to invest. One — FIRSTPICK, a venture capital fund, became the lead investor in the pre-seed round. The other, a social media marketing agency, Caption, converted into a strategic advisor and an active ambassador for the product.
“Businesses are overwhelmed by AI tools that excel at individual tasks but fail to understand the broader context of how work gets done. Superpal takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of building another assistant, the team is building an AI coworker that understands the company context, works across tools, and delivers end-to-end outcomes. Having used the product ourselves, we believe this is what the next generation of AI adoption inside businesses will look like,” says Andra Bagdonaite, General Partner at FIRSTPICK.
Superpal enters a category that is currently attracting serious capital. Viktor.com, one of the most direct competitors in the autonomous agent space, recently closed a $75M Series A from Accel, a signal that the market for AI employees is no longer speculative.
Superpal positions itself as the team-native alternative: equally capable in terms of output quality, but built from the ground up for the privacy requirements, access structures, and agent memory layer necessary for real companies.
