# Ando

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/ando/  
**Website:** https://ando.so  
**APIs profiled:** 1

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.
