Beside is now live on Android 🌎

The real economy doesn’t stop at iOS. We’ve expanded our coverage to Android to further power individuals & teams across the US.

One of my favorite customer stories honestly

[Beside @withbeside]

Briar Rose Winery is powered by Beside.

“I let Beside answer every single call. I’ve got three kids, a 40-acre property, and a tasting room to run. It’s life changing.”

Our AI Receptionist has freed a family winery to serve guests better.

The real economy runs on calls & texts

...invisible to AI.

Today, @withbeside announces a raised $32M to rebuild the phone,

serving 20k+ businesses across the US.

[Maxime Germain @maximegermain]

Today, we’re launching Beside out of stealth with $32M from @IndexVentures & @eqtventures (+ many great investors/angels) to build the conversation layer for AI.

20k+ individuals and 600+ businesses now run their day through Beside: we answer the phone, text messages, take notes & update your tools.

We began by rebuilding the Phone & Messages app on iOS

We’re now launching with macOS & Android.

Today, Beside is coming out of stealth.

I’m proud to be part of the founding team, building this alongside an incredible group - including several people from our Jour days (acquired by Alan in 2021) - and many amazing teammates who’ve joined us along the way.

For the past two years, we’ve been heads down on Beside. What excites me most is working on cutting-edge technology while putting it in the hands of SMBs, who usually benefit the least from big technological shifts.

Excited to finally share what we’ve been building 👇

@krandiash congrats Karan 🚀

[Matthias Thomas Lamotte @matthiasrising]

@fchollet True, though we do have large datasets of existing human workflows, which we don’t have for new workflows. So existing workflows makes the most sense as a first entry point.

Same reason why building humanoid robots makes sense.
