Launched this week
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.

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!

@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.

@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.

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. 🔥

@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.
