Summary

aide is the OS for agentic workforce. Build AI employees, integrate them with your stack, put them
to work on every channel, and govern them end to end — deployed alongside your
people, with any AI model, anywhere.

Eyeing pilot with 300+ companies around the world with the projected ARR of $5.1 million by the end of 2026</p>

The Business

aide is an AI teammate designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workspace communication platforms. Users add aide to Slack, Teams, or Telegram as they would a new team member. The agent introduces itself and begins learning team dynamics by reading conversations and linked documentation (Notion, Google Drive, Confluence, GitHub). aide performs autonomous workplace tasks including sending and receiving emails, making calls, joining meetings, taking notes, updating CRMs, and flagging issues. It can be assigned a phone number for calling, texting, or WhatsApp communication with external contacts. The agent answers questions with source citations and manages calendar scheduling. It also offers a Human Intervention mode for escalating conversations when needed. Overall aide aims to be the OS for agentic workforce where enterprises build, deploy, manage and govern AI employees at scale and empower existing users without hiring additional FTEs. 

The Market

Assumption: aide targets knowledge workers and distributed teams seeking to reduce administrative overhead and improve task completion rates. The market consists of organizations using Slack, Teams, or Telegram with fragmented workflows across multiple documentation and communication tools. Key pain points include context-switching, task tracking across platforms, meeting follow-ups, and spending up-to 3 hours a day just operating SaaS tools—all areas where an autonomous AI agent can reduce friction and free time for higher-value work.
