Our Investment in Ando: Modern Messaging for Teams and Agents

Ando is building a new messaging product for that world. Humans and agents work side by side, with agents participating in conversations and taking action while respecting the same boundaries you would expect from human teammates. Instead of working with agents across a growing collection of isolated apps, teams can collaborate with them in one shared environment where context carries across conversations.
