# Headcount doubles. Know-how has to keep up.

The first ten people carry the company in their heads, and every new hire starts from zero. ekory puts what they know in one place, so someone who joined yesterday answers like someone who's been there for years.

_Example: A new hire asks how a refund works: the Eko answers from the customer success handbook._

## Sound familiar?

### Every answer still goes through the founders.

The reason behind a pricing rule, the history of a key account: it all lives in three people's heads, and they've become the help desk.

### Hire number sixty started from zero.

A half-updated wiki, a mentor who's new too, three months asking the same questions as the last five hires.

### The why left with him.

The second engineer knew why the architecture was built that way. It wasn't written down: he was always in the room. Then he wasn't.

## The questions that all go through one person today.

With ekory they get an answer in seconds, with the source. Evenings and weekends too.

- Why is pricing different for annual customers?
- Who owns the Acme account, and what did we promise them?
- How do I process a refund?
- Why did we choose this architecture?
- What's the script for a demo to a large company?
- Which numbers did we present to the board?

_Example: Eko Onboarding explains to a new hire how a refund works, citing the internal handbook._

## One Eko per team. The same knowledge for everyone.

**Eko Onboarding** For new hires

Tools, processes, people and unwritten rules, from day one.

**Eko Sales** For sales reps

The playbook, pricing and objections, kept current by the founders in chat.

**Super Eko** For people with five jobs

Works on everything you can see, and nothing more.

## What scaleups ask before they start.

### How much does it cost as headcount grows?

The price follows your team: €199 a month for the platform plus a per-person fee that drops in tiers. For 50 people the total is €599 a month, for 100 people €899, excluding VAT; pay annually and you pay for 10 months out of 12. The [pricing page](https://ekory.ai/pricing) works it out for your headcount.

### Does it connect to Notion, Google Drive and SharePoint?

Yes. ekory reads Notion pages and files in Google Drive, SharePoint and OneDrive where they already are, and stays up to date when they change: no need to migrate the wiki you have. Your CRM and internal tools connect through MCP, the open standard that lets software talk to AI.

### How do new hires learn without always asking the founders?

With an onboarding Eko that knows your processes, tools and unwritten rules, and a course generated from your documents, with lessons, podcasts and quizzes: managers see who has finished it. The people you choose, called Trusted Users, correct the Eko in chat, and the fix applies to everyone at once.

### Who decides what each team can see?

Admins do. There are three roles (Admin, Manager and User) and groups for each team: every folder and every Eko is shared only with the people who should see it. The Super Eko works with the permissions of whoever uses it, and conversations stay private.
