FAQ
Can our own AI assistants act on the workplace?
Yes. Kadence leads on AI for the workplace, and it's built into the platform rather than bolted on as a chatbot. Kadence MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to Kadence, so people book desks, rooms and parking, invite visitors, and ask occupancy and planning questions from the assistants they already use, each signed in with your SSO and working under their own permissions. Kadence AI also works in Teams and Slack, and admins get the SpaceOps AI planning agent with guided workflows to restack, consolidate or find space for a team. Robin offers an AI agent for employee booking inside its own product, and an MCP server that connects Claude and ChatGPT for booking and floor layout drafts.
How is Kadence priced?
Kadence bills by active user, with a one-year minimum billed annually, and you get a quote in your local currency. See kadence.co/pricing for details. Robin's pricing page does not list prices.

Single sign-on and directory sync with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and Workday, HR sync including BambooHR, HiBob, Gusto and Rippling, Outlook and Google Calendar, Teams and Slack, major ticketing tools, a public API, webhooks and Kadence MCP.
