Big News: You can now introduce your Townie to your people (and their Townies too)

Add them to your group texts, and they can go get it done in their own browser.

Back in February, I got early access to @TownAI. Now 93% of @firstround is using it. There was never a top-down mandate — it went viral inside First Round the way great products do.

Today, Town announced its $55M Series A. Huge congrats to @jgreze, @tonydevincenzi and the whole team!

It’s hard to imagine getting my work done without my Townie “Brock” helping me. Here’s how Town took off at First Round:

1) Most AI assistants want you to come to them. Town comes to you. It learns how you work and then starts working. After connecting email, calendar and Slack, Town gives you a briefing — who you work with most, what’s high priority, your communication style and patterns. Everyone gets a custom version of this. Connect Town to more tools (Granola, Notion, Google Drive, etc.) and it starts drafting perfect emails and nailing investment snapshots. Customization even extends to “Townies,” the names, avatars, and personalities people assign their Town assistants.

2) First Rounders create routines in Town to solve real problems…then share them. Chiefs of staff were nodal users. Town is a glass of water in the desert for them. So much of their work is processing email, filling out updates, checking spreadsheets and gathering context. Town does this natively. Roy Rosin, one of First Round’s board partners, automatically tracks all his follow-ups (“commitments I made to founders”) at the end of each day. We share new routines in a # town-square Slack channel so it’s easy for other people to use the same routines the chiefs or Roy created.

3) Town works for every function — even people who’d never set up Mac minis to get the benefits of using agents. Our finance team saves hours on repetitive work it can now automate. Our marketing team tells me it “essentially replaced Claude and ChatGPT” for them. Without skills or markdown files but with persistent memory, the more you use it, the better Town gets over time.

A few specific routines we’re using across First Round 👇

[Jean-Denis Greze 💡 @jgreze]

Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you.

We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction.

Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents.

We think that’s backwards.

The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you.

Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so.

All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time.

Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.

“If Cursor was for Ops teams, this is what it would look like.”

Such a cool release from the Parabola crew 🙌

[Cristina Cordova @cjc]

If AI is finally making its way into ops, this feels like Cursor for operations.
Describe the workflow and Parabola takes care of the rest.

[Alex Yaseen @alexyaseen]

Most software has evolved. You describe what you want, and it just works.

But despite the promise of AI, operations teams have been totally left behind. Still exporting csv files, cleaning data by hand, and getting stuck running the same agonizingly manual workflows over and over.

We built the new @tryparabola for them.

Now, turning operational expertise into automated workflows is as simple as describing what you want.

[Alex Yaseen @alexyaseen]

In today's version of “I’m blown away by the things people build in @parabolahq,” a major NGO used Parabola to generate paperwork for hundreds of at-risk families in Afghanistan so they could be shuttled to safety amidst the chaos this past week.

Accidentally discovering a super convenient keyboard shortcut is always a great feeling

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

After working the support queue for a few weeks, I think ‘Inbox 0️⃣’ has become my new favorite term

Wouldn’t be mad if this played every time it was achieved

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

@aronkor Thanks Aron... GIF-tweet fit always feels good

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

Favorite part of my job so far?

Finding the perfect GIF

Excited to announce one of our most highly-requested features...

You can now send data to @Airtable through our new native integration!

Let's take a look at how our users are currently using Parabola x #Airtable, and why we are so excited.

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

@NigelGodfrey @sebschaeffer @parabolahq The "run another parabola flow" step could be useful here... After you schedule your first flow, the step will trigger another flow to run immediately afterwards

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

almost positive that my previous accounting job could have been replaced with ~5 parabola flows... big firms boast their "digitally upskilled" workforce, yet rely largely on manual workflows... wonder if/ when this will change given the privacy burden #NoCode

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

There’s official, and then there’s t-shirt official

@DispoHQ

[Prowork by Parabola @tryparabola]

The only better moment is when you realize that you'll never have to do that manual data task ever again 😱

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

@johnchaplin @zapier @parabolahq @integromat When you want to transform data in bulk, @parabolahq is your answer. Rather than working with single rows, Parabola supports table-based operations like aggregation, growth rates, and math. If you want to perform excel-like transformations, this is the place!

[Adam Reisfield @AdamReisfield]

Onboarding has taught me about our…

🔀 product (APIs, support tickets, building flows)
👥 customers (use cases & personas, onboarding)
🛠 tools (like, a lot of tools)
🌉 team (1:1s with everyone)
🚀 growth (channels and strategy)

oh, and we virtually made pottery last week.

@D_Mack7 @parabolahq @nocodefounders Hey Dave - happy to help out! Feel free to shoot me a DM and I can try to answer any questions or hop on a call

You’ve got the right idea avoiding code 🤙🏼
