TownAI work assistant adds live voice, decks, and payments
TownAI's work-focused assistant adds live voice chat, deck building, and purchases and password management via Stripe Link and 1Password partnerships.
I first got access to the alpha version of @TownAI at the start of the year, and it’s almost hard to count all of the new AI assistants that have launched since then. Most of them are free and built for your personal life. Town is intentionally built for work. The team isn’t focused on helping you plan a trip or book a restaurant reservation (although you can definitely do those things with Town). Instead they’re obsessed with the everyday work that truly makes you and your team faster. Several interesting product decisions have flowed from that: - You need multiplayer mode to truly be effective. AI has made each of us faster on our own, but the work we do together hasn’t kept up. Town is doing some of the most interesting work on multi-player collaboration (with humans as well as other agents) IMO. You can CC your Townie on an email or add them to a group text to let other people work with it directly. Your Townie can also reach out to your teammates’ Townie to help get you unblocked. - You are not the product. Town has been a paid product from Day 1, and none of your context is used to train a model. The team believes your business’ own data is your asset, not something for a 3rd party to monetize. - Your life is easier when AI figures you out, not the other way around. You don’t need to hack anything together or figure out what to ask Town. In addition to making proactive suggestions and picking up on your style, projects, etc., Town also picks the right model for each job behind the scenes, so you’re never locked into one provider. And the team keeps shipping. You can now talk to your Townie live, have it build decks, and make purchases and manage passwords through new partnerships with Stripe Link and 1Password, with tons more to come. I’m a bit biased after working with @jgreze and @tonydevincenzi at Dropbox and backing them from the very beginning, but I love their relentless focus on making you more effective at work, and I’m excited to see them put their $108M Series B (led by @ForerunnerVC and @MenloVentures) to work as the agent wars continue to heat up.
