work with people, but don't wait on people.
really excited for this new chapter in bringing multiplayer AI to work. there are so many exciting opportunities ahead, and we can't wait to share what we've been cooking.
💪 crushed it team
The biggest bottleneck at work is waiting on each other.
Today Town is announcing its $108M Series B, co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, to fix it with multiplayer AI assistants for work.
Most AI assistants are built for one person. Work doesn't happen alone. I think the moat is multiplayer. Everyone at a company gets a Townie. Townies ask each other questions, share only what their person would share, and do the work. The more a team works together, the more useful Townies get.
What's the thing you're always waiting on a teammate for?
Thanks for having us @rishigb and glad we got to share a little sneak peek into how @TownAI is building multiplayer AI for work
i've always thought that the set didn't quite do the true depth of a silo justice. this model just 100% confirmed it.
Silo's finale is on Friday, here is an interactive visualisation Silo 18.

Big News: You can now introduce your Townie to your people (and their Townies too)
Add them to your group texts, and they can go get it done in their own browser.

We’re thrilled to lead Town’s $55M Series A.
Town is a personal AI assistant that works across the tools you already use - email, calendar, Slack, docs, WhatsApp, desktop, web. It learns how you work and starts proactively pitching in.
People are already leaning on Town for the kind of work that’s personal and operationally messy: running recruiting pipelines, juggling school logistics, processing handwritten grant requests, prepping summaries, drafting follow-ups, catching the stuff that would otherwise slip.
The longer you use it, the more it picks up: your voice, your relationships, your preferences, your routines, what you actually care about.
Jean-Denis Greze and Tony Vincent are the right team for something this hard. JDG was CTO at Plaid and an engineering leader at Dropbox. Tony led product and AI at Google and design at Dropbox.
Welcome, JDG, Tony, and the Town team, to the a16z family.I

Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you.
We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction.
Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents.
We think that’s backwards.
The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you.
Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so.
All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time.
Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.
Proud doesn't cover it.
For the past 5 months, we've been sprinting towards building an AI assistant that learns you, and learn how you work.
@TownAI is out of beta today with our Series A. We're just getting started.

Congrats @daraladje and the Delphi team!
If you haven’t tried their product, it’s scary good when you pair their model with a hyper realistic voice output.
All the minds in the world. Now one question away.
We’ve raised $16M from @sequoia to build @withdelphi - create your digital mind & turn your expertise into living, interactive conversations that scale globally.
See how our customers use it below 👇🏼
Congrats on the launch @melisatokmak !
After it took days to book an HVAC appointment in the sweltering heat, I built @Netic_AI: the AI revenue engine for businesses that keep America running.
Silicon Valley ignored essential services for too long, so we raised $20m from @foundersfund, @greylock, @mavolpi to fix it.
...and that's a wrap!
After 3 incredible years, this week marked my last at Contrary. So grateful for the amazing HQ team and I'm really proud of what our lil' design team accomplished with Contrary Research, Foundations, Frontiers, and many more projects. 1/2

ps. u can always count on @yescynfria for a killer #confit
Hey @AmericanAir this was pretty unacceptable on my flight AA177 (N105NN) last night. The entire foot rest was missing from my seat 7C.
I get that the 321T will be retrofitted soon, but that’s just kinda an embarrassment. The XLRs can’t come soon enough
🚨Who’s gonna be at Config?!!!🚨
Come hang with us at Pixel Punch after Config Commons. Join for a causal happy hour featuring several lightning talks from design peeps from @numeric_io , @usepatch , @windsurf_ai and @tryramp
