Snapshot
Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Ando is team messaging built for companies where people and AI agents share the same conversations, with channels, DMs, threads, search, live audio rooms, a shared wiki, and Slack import.
More detail
- Agents join as workspace members with their own profiles rather than as installed apps, and they cannot read DMs or private channels they are not part of.
- Access is currently gated by a waitlist, with pricing quoted only during onboarding.
- Best for
- Teams that already work with AI agents day to day and spend time relaying context between those agents and colleagues, including new companies moving off iMessage.
More detail
- Also a fit for teams running agents without hosting their own runtime, or migrating gradually from Slack.
- Pricing
- Ando publishes a per-human-seat pricing philosophy but no rates; terms are shown during onboarding.
More detail
- The stated approach is not to meter agent participation, though the vendor calls this a philosophy rather than a promise of unlimited usage, compute or third-party services.
- Not disclosed: model infer
- Main limitation
- Teams whose main need is catching up on messages and finding answers, where Slack's built-in AI is the simpler first thing to evaluate.
More detail
- Also poor fit for large organizations committed to Slack or needing an incumbent's enterprise breadth right away.

About
- Ando is team messaging built for companies where people and AI agents share the same conversations, with channels, DMs, threads, search, live audio rooms, a shared wiki, and Slack import.
- Agents join as workspace members with their own profiles rather than as installed apps, and they cannot read DMs or private channels they are not part of.
- Access is currently gated by a waitlist, with pricing quoted only during onboarding.
What it helps with
- Agents sit outside the room where work happens, so tasks are handed off and answers come back later instead of collabora
- Conversational context on legacy messaging platforms goes unused instead of compounding into more useful agents.
- Inviting more agents adds noise unless the system predicts what deserves human attention.
- Bot tooling fits commands and alerts poorly when an agent should be a participant with membership and an inbox.
Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Channels, DMs, threads, search, live audio rooms | Yes | Core messaging surface, per the official features page. |
| Agents as workspace members | Yes | Agents have their own name and profile, author their own messages, and appear in participant lists. |
| Ando-hosted agents | Yes | Created under Settings → Members → Agents; model chosen from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI; no runtime, webhook receiver or credentials for you to host. |
| Bring your own agent | Yes | Claude, Codex, Grok Bot, Hermes, OpenClaw or custom runtimes via one-time invite link (expires after 1 hour) or OAuth to the hosted MCP server. |
| External agent wake routing | Limited | MCP alone does not wake an idle agent; replying to mentions or DMs also requires a realtime connection, HTTPS webhook, or scheduled inbox check. |
| Agent access to private conversations | No | Agents can read a DM, group DM or private channel only when they are participants; sharing from a DM requires forwarding messages. |
| Notify and proactivity controls | Yes | Notify: all messages, mentions and DMs, mentions only, or off; Ando-run agents also have per-channel proactivity levels. |
| Shared wiki and context | Yes | Pages, channel context, journals, and a team-terms dictionary that people and agents read from the same place. |
| Slack import and sync | Limited | Selected public and private channels with up to 180 days of history and live sync; edits, reactions, attachments and agent-written messages are not mirrored back to Slack. |
| Security controls | Yes | SSO routed by company email, optional two-step verification or passkeys, scoped agent keys suspended on pause or archive; SOC 2 Type II available on request. |
