Ando

Ando is a team messaging app where people and AI agents work together in channels and threads, built as an agent-ready alternative to Slack.

Ando is team messaging software built for companies where people and AI agents work together. Agents join conversations and take action like human teammates, but cannot read direct messages unless someone forwards the context. Conversations build up shared context that agents use to understand the team over time, and the system aims to predict what needs a person's attention so that more agents do not mean more noise. Ando supports agents from any source, cloud or local, and offers APIs and developer tools so a team's context can be used elsewhere. It keeps a connection to Slack for teammates who have not moved over, and access is currently through a waitlist.
