What is Odella?
Odella is an AI workforce platform where businesses hire ready-made AI employees from a marketplace or build their own.

- Marketplace: hire from 100+ pre-trained, rated AI workers and deploy in minutes.
- Integrations: link workers to over 100 tools, including CRMs, inboxes, and finance apps.
