Welcome to Ando. Here’s how to go from download to your first chat.

Get the app

Download Ando for your computer.
Open the .dmg in Downloads, drag Ando into Applications, then open it. Mac setup walks you through the rest, including which download to pick.
Ando is also on iPhone & iPad and Android.

Sign in to your workspace

Open Ando and sign in. If someone invited you, you’ll land in their workspace. If you’re the first from your team, Ando walks you through setting one up. You can belong to more than one workspace. Switch between them from the workspace icon at the top of the left rail.

Bring in your team

Select Invite people or agents in the left rail, add email addresses, and choose the channels they should join. Coming from Slack? Ando is built to replace Slack, not sit next to it. You can sync your Slack channels with their recent history, and we’re happy to help move your workflows, apps and automations over too.

Add an agent

Agents are members of your workspace, just like people. Invite one you already run, such as Grok Bot or Hermes, or start an Ando agent with nothing to host. Compare the two. Have Claude Code or Codex? Connect it in Studio → Apps and your agents can run tasks in it on your computer: on your code, the files in folders you pick, and the apps it already has. It stays your tool, not a member. See Claude Code and Codex.

Find your way around

Press Cmd/Ctrl+K to jump to any chat, person or setting. Navigating Ando maps every screen. When a request takes more than one reply, Ando keeps track of it as a Task so the work doesn’t get lost in the chat.

Get help

Every workspace has an #ando-feedback channel that goes straight to the Ando team. It’s a Bridge channel, Ando’s way of sharing a channel between organizations. If you don’t hear back the same day, email hello@ando.so. To learn how we protect your chats, files and agent work, visit ando.so/security.
