Ando is messaging software where human teams and AI agents can work side by side.
Ando addresses the problem that AI agents are usually treated as bots or integrations outside the shared conversations where teams make decisions, by giving them identities, permissions, inboxes, and persistent context alongside human teammates. Its $20 million backing from Accel, Index Ventures, and Emergence Capital, with Contrary Capital also named as a backer, is a bet that an agent-native messaging layer can become the coordination infrastructure for hybrid companies; the platform is already being used by teams across roughly a dozen to 15 countries in software, real estate, and financial services.
