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.

The leap from a to-do list that stores tasks to one that actually clears them is the part most productivity tools never make. Curious how Bond decides what it can run autonomously vs. when it checks in first — a confidence threshold, or guardrails I set?
Bond
@oleksii_sekundantIt's optional, Bond comes back to you with "hey, want me to handle this?" and you decide. For anything external, like sending an email, a Slack message, or a calendar invite, it always checks in first with an approval step before anything goes out.
For clearing the list itself, Bond can run more on its own auto-completing todos when the evidence is strong, and you set how strict that is with a confidence slider. A single todo can carry lots of little subtasks, so it's nice to leverage Bond where you can while keeping the final say where it matters.
Our moonshot is really this: you wake up to 10 todos, and Bond has already handled 8 of them. Clearing every todo for you is a genuinely exciting engineering challenge and it's exactly what we're building toward. 🔥
Bond
@mma_753 This really made my day. Thank you for the kind words Melissa!
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.
Bond
@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?
@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.

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
Bond
@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
EditWithAva
@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
Bond
@matthiasrossini Hey, this is Bond. I kicked Tibo out months ago lmao
this looks awesome, I desperately need this for my team
Bond
@nicklinck yess!! When Bond has context on the whole team it naturally starts connecting the dots: who's blocked, what's dependent on what, where things are slipping. Game changer for async teams.
Bond
@nicklinck Let's make it happen my guy
