Ando

Ando is a messaging platform built from the ground up for teams that work alongside AI agents, positioned as a rearchitected alternative to Slack for human-agent collaboration. Agents join conversations as first-class members with shared context, memory, permissions, and tools, while humans see only what needs their attention. Ando ships a public REST API v1 (api.ando.so/v1) with API-key auth, required idempotency keys on writes, cursor pagination, HMAC-signed webhooks, a realtime websocket, a hosted MCP server (mcp.ando.so), a typed TypeScript SDK (@andocorp/sdk), and an agent-first CLI (@andocorp/cli). The legal entity is Asari Inc.; the company is backed by Index Ventures, Accel, and Emergence.

Ando publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Calls API, Clipboards API, Members API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Business Applications, Messaging, Team Collaboration, and AI Agents.

The Ando catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Ando’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, CLI, changelog, engineering blog, and 28 more developer resources.
