Disjointed AI tools slow teams — embed collaborative AI agents into workflows

Teams struggle with siloed AI tools that don't act like coworkers. Embed AI agents directly into Slack, Teams, and project tools so agents behave like remote teammates — assigning tasks, summarizing, executing workflows with security and audit trails.

Key Pain Points

Low technical defensibility -- core agent capabilities can be replicated using public LLMs and open-source orchestrators unless strong data/network effects accrue.
Security & compliance barriers -- enterprises require strict data controls, which increases sales cycle and engineering burden.
Platform lock-in & competition from platform incumbents -- Microsoft/Slack can add first-party agents tightly integrated into their suites and undercut startups.
