The workplace is being flooded with AI tools, but most function as passive assistants or complex automation engines. Offering a new paradigm, Teammates has launched with a vision to turn AI agents into actual coworkers. The platform enables companies to build a virtual workforce of AI colleagues that collaborate, learn, and grow alongside human employees, integrating seamlessly into existing digital environments like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Teammates has launched a platform for creating AI agents that act as virtual coworkers.
These AI "Teammates" integrate into Slack, Teams, and have company email addresses.
They are designed to be collaborative, intuitive, and learn company context over time.
The platform is built on principles of collaboration, autonomy, and artificial intuition.
AI Teammates can work together on tasks and assign work back to human colleagues.
The founders are former Twilio product leaders with experience in scaling human-centric tech.
Teammates is built on four core principles that distinguish it from typical AI copilots and workflow automations. It enables true Collaboration, where multiple AI Teammates can work with each other and take direction from multiple humans simultaneously. It grants Autonomy, allowing them to handle complex, nuanced goals rather than just predefined workflows. The platform focuses on developing Artificial Intuition, so the AI can understand ambiguous workplace requests and learn company context. Finally, it ensures the software Evolves with the organization, adapting to new tools and style guides without requiring retraining or complex setup.
These AI agents are designed to feel less like software and more like members of the team. They operate from within the communication tools companies already use, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. They are assigned company email addresses and can operate thousands of business applications. This approach moves beyond drag-and-drop automation builders, aiming to create a "multi-player mode" for AI where virtual and human employees work together seamlessly to solve problems and complete tasks.
This launch represents a significant shift in the philosophy of workplace AI, from tools that require human adaptation to colleagues that adapt to humans. By focusing on creating a delightful and collaborative experience, Teammates is betting that the future of work involves a blended workforce of human and virtual talent.
