@luz_bidelspach I wish I could drop some names here but i'll lose my SOC 2 type II certification...but:
One founder used Bond purely as a 'who am I neglecting' radar. It flagged that he hadn't talked to a key investor in 6 weeks, pulled the last thread, and drafted the re-intro. That dude is now leading his current round
Somebody uses Bond to manage his contractor renovating his house. Same chaos as a startup, apparently
One guy told me he let Bond draft his replies in his tone for so long that his cofounder said he's 'nicer over slack now.' ✨mediator✨
Chloe this rocks!!! What can it do for sales enablement and such?
Bond
@abu_badr Here's a real example from my week: I ask Bond to pull up every lead I met with and or emailed. Then I say "draft follow-ups for all of them." Bond writes each email in my tone, with the context from the call or interaction, right in the web app chat, and I just edit or approve to send.
A task that would've taken me 2hours now takes me 5'. I no longer need to go digging through calendar events, piecing together call context, scanning sent mail trying to remember who I reached out to.
And honestly? Knowing it only takes five minutes means I actually do it and not procrastinate it (which might be one of the biggest pros of Bond that we don't talk about)
An AI that does itself is strange. I'm of the view that someone has to do the AI. when things do themselves the results is usually strange. Can you help on how the AI does itself?
Bond
@fafa_nutifafa Ha, I think I know what you mean. "AI that just does things on its own" usually ends weird, because nobody's accountable for the output.
So Bond doesn't work that way. There's always a human in the loop: you. Bond does the heavy lifting (reading across your tools, spotting what matters, drafting the reply, prepping the meeting), but you stay the one who decides and approves. Think of it less as "AI that does itself" and more as a chief of staff who shows up with the work 90% done and says "here, good to send?"
The autonomy is in the grunt work, not the judgment. You keep the wheel, Bond just makes sure you're never starting from a blank page or missing something.
Does that line up with what you were getting at, or were you poking at something more specific? :)
@tibo_wiels i think that does it for me. I get it nice a clear.

I’m such a fan of Bond. I was lucky to get onto the waitlist early and then get onboard a couple of weeks ago. We’re fully AI native, thinking we can do everything ourselves, but absolutely blown away by Bond’s surfacing of priorities, and keeping me aware of what’s needlemoving.
Congrats on the launch, thanks for the amazing support with your really helpful product!
Bond
@michael_jankie Thanks a ton Michael!
Bond
@michael_jankie really happy to have you as an early adopter!
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.
Bond
@gugan_ananth "reducing background cognitive tax" — that's exactly it. Time saved is nice, but knowing your not missing anything is such a blessing
Bond
@gugan_ananth Exactly! We all want our time back, because wasn’t that what AI promised us in the beginning?

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?
Bond
@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!

Solid launch for Bond. What was the hardest part to get right so far?Good to see Bond: The AI to-do list that does itself ship. Which use case are you seeing the most demand for?
Bond
@borrellbr Thank you, Ignacio!
Hardest part so far has been getting from "AI finds tasks" to "AI finds the right tasks." It's easy to create another noisy list. Much harder to reliably understand context, merge duplicates, avoid stale todos, and surface the few things that actually matter today.
The use case with the most demand so far is follow-through: catching the things that slip between email, Slack, meetings, and memory. Unanswered follow-ups, blockers, decisions waiting on someone, draft replies, delegation nudges, aka the operational loose ends that executives and chiefs of staff spend all day chasing.
That's why we like this framing, the real value isn't storing tasks, it's clearing as many of them as possible. What usecase did you have in mind for Bond?
Bond
@borrellbr Thanks! Easily the hardest part: signal-to-noise. It's deceptively easy to build something that connects to all your tools and then proudly dumps everything back at you. A lot of what's out there does exactly that, and it just becomes another firehose with an AI label slapped on. Genuinely deciding "this matters to you, this doesn't" is brutally hard, and it's where we've spent the most blood. A list you can't trust is worse than no list at all.
On demand: the one that resonates most is "tell me what actually needs me right now and make sure I'm not dropping anything." Founders and execs don't want a smarter search box, they want to stop waking up wondering what fell through the cracks overnight. The "does itself" part is what people get excited about, but the trust comes from the filtering underneath it.
