Bond - The AI to-do list that does itself

Bond is an AI Chief of Staff for executives. It connects to your tools, learns how your company works, and turns scattered tasks into a self-managing to-do list that always knows what you need to do next. You can ask Bond to prepare you for your next meeting, draft a follow-up, send an email, create action items, identify blockers, surface risks, or delegate tasks to team members.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m Chloe, co-founder and CEO of Bond.

Over the last few years, I’ve become obsessed with how exceptional leaders operate.

The best founders and CEOs aren’t smarter than everyone else.
They just have an obsession with how they spend their time.

The best leaders know exactly where their attention should go.

They know what matters, what doesn’t, and what’s at risk of slipping through the cracks.

The challenge is that as companies grow, keeping track of everything becomes a full-time job.

The information you need is scattered across email, Slack, meetings, docs, tasks, CRMs, and dozens of conversations happening simultaneously.

Before you can make a decision, you first have to gather the context.

  • What’s blocking the team?

  • Who owns this?

  • Did we follow up?

  • What’s changed since last week?

  • What am I forgetting?

Most leaders spend hours every day reconstructing the state of their business before they can actually get anything done.

That’s the problem we’re solving.

Bond is an AI Chief of Staff for high-performing founders and executives. It understands what’s happening across your company and proactively tells you:


• What matters most right now
• What’s falling behind
• What decisions need your attention
• What should happen next

A few things Bond has already done for early users:
✅ Flagged concerns about a candidate before a founder made a hiring decision

✅ Alerted a founder about a meeting with the CEO of a $10B company he’d almost missed with prep ready before it started

✅ Reminded a founder about a follow-up they’d forgotten for two weeks…the reply closed the deal

The goal is simple: you spend your attention on the work only you can do, and Bond handles the rest.

The entire team will be here all day answering questions and collecting feedback.
We’d love to hear what resonates, what doesn’t, and what you’d want Bond to do for you!

@chloesamaha definitely feeling this pain, is there a way for my more manual tasks to get done by bond?

Chloe Samaha

@peterdambrosio yes! We have routines :)
Essentially any repetitive admin workflow you have: pre-meeting prep, follow ups, and investor newsletters are all things I've automated with Bond!

Peter D'Ambrosio

@chloesamaha thanks, signed up :)

Ipek Girgin

@chloesamaha Congrats!! :)

Chloe Samaha

@ipek_girgin thank you! Wouldn't have possible without the absolute legends on the team!

Zolani Matebese

@chloesamaha Congrats on the launch team. How do you handle exec inaction (I know about it and just haven't done anything and so task age is increasing) and task priority?

Tibo Wiels

@chloesamaha  @zolani_matebese Great question, and honestly this is the failure mode of every todo app: stuff just ages and guilt-trips you forever.

Bond treats aging as a signal, not just a growing number. Urgency actually evolves over time, so a task climbs as it becomes genuinely more pressing, but Bond also re-evaluates whether it still matters at all. A few things can happen to an aging item:

  • It escalates if it's genuinely getting more important (deadline approaching, someone now blocked on you).

  • It offers to handle or delegate it rather than just nag, because half the time inaction means "this isn't really mine" or "I keep deprioritizing this for a reason."

  • It goes to cleanup if it's quietly gone stale, so dead weight doesn't pile up and drown the list.

The insight is that a task sitting untouched is information. Sometimes it means "do this now," sometimes "this was never actually a priority," and Bond tries to tell the difference instead of treating every old item as equally urgent.

Does that make sense?

Diana Nadim

@chloesamaha The reconstruction of the state of the business pain point is so real. As a founder myself, I spend too much time context-switching between Slack, email, and docs just to figure out what’s actually blocking progress. Now, how does Bond handle 'noise'? For example, if there’s a heated debate in Slack that doesn’t actually require my attention, does it know to filter that out, or does it flag everything?

swati paliwal

@chloesamaha How do you balance Bond’s proactive nudges with avoiding notification overload or undermining a leader’s judgment; and what controls will founders have to tune the signal so Bond feels like a trusted teammate rather than a second-guessing assistant?

Alexander Gray

Most AI assistants struggle with context retention across tools how does Bond maintain a coherent understanding of ongoing projects when executives are juggling 10+ active workstreams simultaneously?

Peter D'Ambrosio

@alexander_gray3 also curious how it priortizes stuff accordingly

Tibo Wiels

@alexander_gray3 This is exactly the problem we built Bond around.

Most AI assistants only know what's in the current chat window, which falls apart when you're running 10+ things at once. Bond doesn't rely on the conversation to remember your company. It continuously builds a living company brain of it from your connected tools.

So instead of indexing raw text, Bond structures it: who said what, what are everyone's responsibilities, which project a ticket belongs to, what actually moved, and what's waiting on you vs. just noise. It learns what you own vs. what you're watching, carries context across conversations, and cross-references updates across tools against your to-dos, so it knows when something changed even if you never opened that app today.

It's not magic, and it gets sharper the more it syncs. But the bet is simple: you don't need a better chatbot, you need something that holds the whole picture together while you're busy running things, and that's the billion dollar problem we decided to destroy 😎

@alexander_gray3 bond is so good at this, it’s what’s kept me most satisfied with the product! i am CoS on a small team and touch almost every project/vertical to varying degrees

Congrats on the launch team 🎉
For a founder managing multiple companies or workstreams, can Bond handle separate contexts without mixing them up, or is it one unified view across everything?

Tibo Wiels

@abod_rehman Thanks!

Totally fine btw. Many founders run multiple companies or workstreams, and Bond is designed for exactly that.

Hook up as many workspaces as you want. Each gets its own scoped context layer (isolated pipelines, permission-aware access, strict tenant boundaries). Bond won't mix them up.

But it will connect the dots within and across each: signals from Slack, Gmail, calendar, and your PM tools get linked to the right people and initiatives, always with source citations so you can trust (and verify) what you're seeing.

Unified intelligence, clean separation. That's the idea!

Jared Stivala

Im in tears right now thinking about how long I've existed without bond in my life.

how did your team become so godly??

Chloe Samaha

@jaredsuniverse haha thanks! A team of absolute 🐐s

Tibo Wiels

@jaredsuniverse Haha thank you! Honestly we've got an insanely cracked team. I've personally interviewed 400+ engineers over the last 5 months and exactly 2 made the cut. Couldn't be prouder of the crew we've built.

Now I'm curious about that first line, what finally broke you? The 10th "quick sync" meeting this week?

Joshua Bell

@jaredsuniverse woot woot 🥳🥳

Boyuan Deng

The blocker and risk surfacing piece is what stands out to me

BTW, how does Bond know something is actually at risk vs just behind schedule?

Is that a manual threshold or does it learn your working style over time?

Theo Depraetere

@boyuan_deng1  Bond really looks for the bigger picture across your tools, "Behind schedule" is often not enough, but "behind schedule + someone mentioned a blocker" does.
This distinction really helps to cut through the noise that all these platforms are sending out.
Something can be late and fine. Something else can look on track but be one unanswered message away from stalling.

Indeed Bond learns your working style, when you push back or say "this isn't important," that sticks and changes what gets surfaced next time.

Hope this helps 🙏

Martijn Bonte
Would this product also focus on non-executives over time?
Chloe Samaha
Theo Depraetere

@martijn_bonte In the era of AI agents, aren't we all becoming executives? 🤔

Tibo Wiels

@martijn_bonte Definitely. Right now we're focussed on founders and executives just because they have the pain-point more than anyone else. But we're definitely rolling this out enterprise very soon :)

Prejin Nadar

This looks really interesting! How does Bond prioritize tasks and action items when it receives information from multiple tools and conversations? What makes its decision-making different from a traditional AI assistant?

Joshua Bell

Love this question. Short version: Bond doesn't prioritize at the moment a message arrives — it's done the work beforehand. It pre-links every person (all their accounts = one human), every meeting (with its history and notes), and who's responsible for what. New info lands on that context, then gets two judgments: is this actually a commitment for YOU, and how much does it matter vs. everything else on your plate? A promise to an investor on Tuesday's call ≠ a "we should look into this" in a group thread. Traditional ai assistants reason from scratch every time you ask; Bond understands once, ahead of time, and judges with full context. EA-who's-been-with-you-a-year energy, not smart-intern-guessing 🙏

Vasyl

Interesting idea, but “AI that knows what I need to do next” sounds like the hardest part here. How do you avoid it just becoming a noisy task aggregator across Slack/email/calendar?

Joshua Bell

@workout097_collab great question!! Avoiding "noisy aggregator" is the whole product. Our approach is to filter with context, not keywords. Bond pre-links every person, meeting, and responsibility before messages arrive, then nothing becomes a to-do unless it survives two checks: is this actually a commitment for YOU (not just your name near a verb), and does it matter vs. everything else on your plate? When it misses, your corrections stick. An aggregator of 10 tools' noise is worse than the 10 tools — Bond only deserves to exist if it's the opposite 🙏

Tibo Wiels

@workout097_collab Honestly, this is the exact thing we position ourselves against.

There are a ton of AI assistants out there and they almost all fail at the same place: signal-to-noise. Anyone can one-shot a Pipedream MCP-everything integration, spin up a vector DB, and call it a day. But what you get back is noise with a tiny bit of signal buried in it.

Context is a double-edged sword. It's what creates the noise, but it's also the only place the real signal lives. That's why we threw all our effort into the company brain, an engine whose whole job is knowing what's actually real vs. what isn't.

So Bond is precision-biased on purpose. It filters out things like FYI chatter, bot notifications, wrong-owner asks, and figures out what's genuinely waiting on you, and backs every item with a source citation so you can verify it in one click. The bar to show you something is high, but the things that actually matter don't slip through, because the moment the list fills up with noise you stop trusting it, and a list you don't trust is worse than no list at all :)

Matthias Rossini

This sounds great! Congrats on the launch.

Now it just needs to manage my never ending whatsapp inbox & take my calls for me & i'll be out of work

Tibo Wiels

@matthiasrossini Haha thanks! We're actively looking into WhatsApp, though Meta isn't exactly famous for friendly integrations lol. We'll get there.

Honestly we dogfood so hard at this point that we barely talk to each other internally anymore. It's just our individual Bonds talking to each other now. #culture

Matthias Rossini

@tibo_wiels glad to hear everybody is bonding nicely :'D just try to make sure you don't get kicked out of the company slack by your AI

Tibo Wiels

@matthiasrossini Hey, this is Bond. I kicked Tibo out months ago lmao

Elaine Hladik

Hi @Bond , love the concept! As a former Chief of Staff, this def resonates a lot! It'll be interesting to see how the role evolves alongside tools like yours. The best CoS roles aren't just about gathering information - they're about creating leverage and helping leaders focus on the highest-impact decisions. Curious where you see the line between augmenting a Chief of Staff and replacing parts of the role over time?

Chloe Samaha

@elaine_hladik Thank you! Coming from a former CoS, that means a lot! BOND takes the grunt layer (tracking action items, chasing follow-ups, context gathering across tools, executing on the routine busy work) so the human gets that time back for the high-impact calls!
