Pitstop is an AI agent work platform for professional services firms, placing AI agents and teams in the same workspace so agents can handle "the work outside of client work," such as research, first drafts, follow-ups, meeting notes, and CRM. Its core mechanism is: anything leaving the company must wait for a "yes" (human approval) before it can be sent.
Purpose Pitstop primarily serves executive search, advisory, and consulting firms, and is also suitable for legal and accounting firms (legal firms are advised to first check their industry body's rules on client confidentiality). It seeks to address three problems professional services firms face when adopting AI: confidentiality (employees putting client files into personal chats), accountability (inability to prove who approved content that was sent out), and billable hours (once drafting becomes faster, is the time saved used to take on more work or to shift to fixed fees).
Key capabilities The platform provides nine work areas for teams and agents to share the same set of records: a priorities and pending items board, tasks and board views, company and opportunity tracking, meeting briefs and notes, a content calendar, a company knowledge base, market research and intelligence, financial income and expenses and due dates, and an approvals inbox.
Agents have autonomy levels: L0 read-only, only looking and not doing; L1 suggest, with a person executing; L2 ask first then do, executing after human approval, applicable to any action leaving the company; L3 do internal tasks first and report afterward; L4 autonomously handle internal tasks.
All approvals leave an inspectable trace: who asked, who decided, what content, and when, written into a hash-chain log (SHA-256), exportable as CSV or JSON. If any line in the log is modified, the chain breaks at that line during verification, and the approval becomes invalid.
How to use Users can start with a repetitive task, designate an approver, run initially at L1 (suggest only), gradually advance to L2 (ask first then do), and after 30 days decide whether to expand based on the ratio of "approved as-is, edited, rejected."
Teams can directly use their existing ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex agents, connecting to Pitstop via MCP and OAuth to read company notes and ask questions before content leaves; these agents have only "ask" permission, not "approve" permission. AI Jungle can also build specialized agents for specific domains to work on the company's own records.
Approvals can be completed through one inbox on a laptop or phone, or a one-time link can be sent to a client, allowing the client to approve without an account.
Use cases Pitstop is for search firms with 5 to 50 peopleDesigned for headhunting, consulting, and advisory firms. Recommend a starting agent by company type: For executive search, start with the "sourcing and first contact" agent; L2 asks before acting, and the consultant approves every contact message. For consulting, start with the research and meeting briefing agent; internal briefings use L3 act-then-report, while client-facing content remains L2. For M&A and corporate finance, start with the target screening agent; L2 asks before acting, and the partner approves every external contact. For accounting, start with the client follow-up agent; internal reminders use L3, while content containing numbers or filings uses L2 and waits for accountant approval. For legal, start with the intake and first-draft agent; L1 only suggests, and the lawyer reviews every document and message.
Pricing Priced for the whole company, including all personnel; different plans differ only in storage space. Pitstop S: 25 GB of files and history, $199/month, or a one-time payment of $1,999/year; Pitstop M: 100 GB, $499/month, or $4,999/year; Pitstop L: 500 GB, $999/month, or $9,999/year. All plans include nine workspaces, approval points, autonomy levels, logs that can show any edit, one-time client approval links, roles and invitations, and hosting in Germany (EU). There is also a free single-person add-on with 30 days of history; the first 55 companies can make a one-time payment of $9,999 for a lifetime L plan.
AI usage costs are still borne by the user's own ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex account; heavier tasks run inside Pitstop and consume Pit Lane credits. The official pricing page was checked on October 11, 2026, and prices exclude tax. Taking 15 people using Claude Team standard seats billed monthly as an example, the AI cost is $375 per month; Pitstop S adds another $199, and for 30 people it is still $199.
Limitations Currently, Gmail, Slack, Fireflies, and Zoom connections are not yet configured, and meeting notes and transcripts need to be added manually. One-time client approval links are available, but some integrations are not yet ready. Regarding client confidentiality, law firms should first check the rules of their bar association. Agent access permissions can ask questions and read approval status, but cannot approve, edit, or reject. Internal tasks can run at L3 and enter the log; only content leaving the company waits for human approval.
