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.

Good luck with the launch, looking good! I do have one question: with all the new integrations coming to chatgpt and claude, how is BOND different?

Joshua Bell

@mark_jansens  Thank you! ChatGPT/Claude integrations are pull so they're amazing when you ask. BOND is push reading everything and decides for you: a signal-to-noise engine filters the junk, maps who's who across your tools, and prioritizes what's actually yours vs. what to delegate. You open one list, already correct, no prompting. Chat makes asking questions faster; BOND removes the question. (We even ship an MCP server so BOND works right inside ChatGPT and Claude)

What surprised me most wasn’t the time saved. It was the reduction in background cognitive tax. That constant mental browser tab of “I need to remember to chase X, Y said they’d do Z, don’t forget the Q3 thing…” started quieting down. I still have to make the hard calls and do the actual work, but I’m not spending brain cycles just keeping the plates spinning.

@gugan_ananth "reducing background cognitive tax" — that's exactly it. Time saved is nice, but knowing your not missing anything is such a blessing

Theo Depraetere

@gugan_ananth  Exactly! We all want our time back, because wasn’t that what AI promised us in the beginning?

Kutlwano Melamu

Congratulations guys! Does Bond connect to social media accounts?

Theo Depraetere

@kutlwano_melamu Thank you Kutlwano 🚀
Social media integrations aren’t currently supported, but they’re definitely on our roadmap. We think they’re especially interesting for founders and creators who have a lot of important context living in DMs and comments. Stay tuned, lots more integrations are coming. 🏄

The hard part isn’t finding more tasks, it’s knowing which ones actually matter. If Bond can keep that signal clean across Slack, email, docs, and meetings, that’s a big deal.

Teagan Yuen

@farrukh_butt1 Yup!! Love that you see the value in this :)

Curious how you currently decide what to-dos to prioritize? What specific problems have you run into?

Farrukh Butt

@teaganyuen Mostly manual right now: urgent client work, team blockers, then follow-ups. The hard part is that priorities are spread across Slack, calls, email, and docs, so figuring out what needs attention first takes time.

How does Bond handle sensitive information like board level strategy, M&A activity or HR matters that an executive would never want surfacing in a shared or improperly scoped context?

Tibo Wiels

@carlos_leonardo1 This is the exact tension we designed around.

There is one shared company brain. That's what makes Bond more than a personal assistant. But access to it is scoped per person, so you only ever see through it what you're already allowed to see. Your DMs, private channels, and personal email feed your view and only yours. A colleague's Bond can't pull them, and yours can't pull theirs.

It's enforced at the data layer, not left to the AI to decide. Just like a teammate can't open a Slack DM they're not part of, their Bond literally can't return it either. Sensitive sources get flagged private the moment they're ingested, and every insight carries a source citation so nothing ever shows up "from nowhere." So: shared brain, shared context, but strict per-person walls on what each person can actually see.

Is the bigger worry for you something sensitive of yours leaking to your team, or their private context leaking to you?

Have you considered mobile interaction? I don’t want to be stuck in front of a computer all the time.

Tibo Wiels

@xie_yujin Haha hear me out: there's an inverse correlation between someone's seniority and their screen size. Juniors run three ultrawides like a NASA control room, while actual execs are making million-dollar calls from their phone in the back of an Uber.

So yes, mobile matters a lot. We focused on desktop first to get the core right, but there's already a fully functional mobile PWA today. Making that buttery smooth is next on my personal priority list, because that's where most of our users actually live.

Theo Depraetere

@xie_yujin Yes, so currently Bond is a progressive web app, you can add it to your home screen and it runs like a native app (full-screen, app icon, shortcuts to Chat / Todos / Replies).
On the go you can also use BondBot in Slack on your phone, plus push notifications for briefings and routines. But don't worry a truly native app is on the roadmap, and we already have some great UX ideas 🔥.

Sebastian Scott

this sounds very helpful, does it also integrate with granola or any other meeting recorder?

Theo Depraetere

@sebastian_scott3 Yes! Granola is one of our supported notetakers.
It is super insightfull to Bond to help build out the company brain.

We also support Fathom, Fellow, Fireflies, and Circleback (Gong coming soon). Hope this helps 🙏

How does Bond handle things like board communications or sensitive financial data that might show up in emails?
Flor Sanders

@cedric_anckaert Hi Cédric

Great question! This is exactly why companies are distrustful of tools like OpenClaw and others.
Out of the box, Bond respects the access levels in each application you connect, so sensitive information that is for your eyes only will stay for your eyes only and never accidentally leak into our multi-player company context.

We also have ZDR agreements in place with our AI providers, never train any models on your data and never sell any of your data because we know how sensitive the information executives have access to can be.

Delegation is where most chiefs of staff fail because they lack organizational trust how does Bond ensure that when it delegates a task to a team member that action carries the right level of authority and accountability?

Tibo Wiels

@amna9 Very interesting question.

Bond's company brain already knows where the lines of authority and accountability actually sit: who owns what, who reports to whom, which relationships are strong and which are sensitive. So it's never delegating blind.

But the key part is you stay in full control. You decide who a task goes to, why, and how it's framed (tone of voice and all), and whether it's sent from Bond or in your own name. Nothing goes out without you steering it (unless you want to ofc). And because every item is backed by source data, the person on the receiving end sees the context too, not just a task dropped on them out of nowhere.

So the authority comes from you, Bond just makes sure it lands with the right person, the right framing, and the receipts to back it up.

Curious how you think about it: when you delegate, is the bigger risk the wrong person getting it, or just nobody actually owning the follow-through?

Executives often operate with high context unwritten rules about how decisions get made how long does Bond's learning phase take before it genuinely understands a company's operating rhythm?

Tibo Wiels

@ana_popescu2 TL;DR: Bond is useful on day one, but deeply dialed in over a couple of weeks.

Within minutes of connecting your tools, Bond has a working model of your company: who's who, which projects are live, who talks to whom, what's moving. That alone is enough to start surfacing real signal.

The unwritten-rules layer (how decisions actually get made, what you quietly care about, who gets looped in on what) sharpens over the first couple of days. It learns two ways: you can tell it directly (your role, your priorities, your rules), and it infers the rest from watching real activity. The explicit stuff lands instantly, the implicit stuff compounds.

And it never really "finishes" learning, which is the point. Companies change constantly, so a static model would go stale anyway. The brain just keeps adapting.

I'm very curious: would you mind sharing some unwritten rules that apply to your company? Would love to learn from them so I can proactively make Bond learn those.
