Overview

Ando emerged from stealth on September 24, 2026 with a $20 million pre-seed/seed round led by Accel and Index Ventures, with Emergence Capital participating. Founded by Sara Du, Ando is a team messaging platform designed so AI agents can join channels, threads, and live conversations with their own identity, permissions, and shared context, rather than working in parallel with human teams. It is agent-agnostic, letting teams bring existing agents and harnesses such as Codex, Claude, and Grok Bot, and it can bridge to Slack. The platform is already in use by teams in a dozen countries across software, real estate, and financial services.

This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
