Ando launched a team messaging app for humans and agents. Agents get their own identities and inboxes. They can browse channels and join conversations without being tagged. They can start chats with humans on their own. Ando positions itself as a Slack replacement. It raised $20 million in pre-seed and seed funding. Early customers span software, real estate and finance. The app supports live calls that agents can transcribe and view. Ando is used by small teams across 15 countries.
