@CPMou2022 Who, us? Let’s go!

[Jean-Denis Greze 💡 @jgreze]

We’ve been obsessed with a simple idea: AI shouldn’t feel like another tool to manage. It should feel like an assistant that actually knows you. 80% of people still use AI just a few times a day, disconnected from the rest of their work and life. Today, that changes.

As we announced earlier, we’re launching Town and announcing our $55M Series A led by @a16z with @forerunnervc.

More in @FortuneMagazine (see comments).

[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.

Understand and manage your personal finances in ChatGPT.

A further step towards ChatGPT becoming your personal agent, operating on your behalf 24/7, for helping you at home and work.

@Plaid’s mission is financial freedom. @OpenAI’s mission is AGI that benefits humanity.

Putting those together to help people better understand, manage, and feel more in control of their money is the kind of product work that really matters.

Excited for this launch.

Very excited to share that Plaid has acquired @getcognito!

Identity verification & user fraud is one of the most difficult problems to solve in financial services. Over the past 8+ years, Cognito has built a fantastic set of ID verification API's for fintech + crypto companies.

[Zachary Perret @zachperret]

While it feels a bit repetitive to post that we are hiring at @Plaid, today's news reminds me just how much work we have yet to do.

With that said, we are hiring for more than 100 roles (https://t.co/5nasCeefKv). We'd love any applications, recommendations, or referrals!

[Plaid @Plaid]

We’ve seen the power of fintech improve people's financial lives. Our new funding will help us better support developers across all industries & continue to unlock financial freedom for everyone. We’re excited to continue building the future together.
