Workspace Agent
Categories: Agent, OnboardingEvery new workspace now starts with Ando, a built-in agent that’s part of the team from day one. Ando sees every message in any conversation it’s in and decides on its own whether to chime in, just like a human teammate. You can also @mention Ando directly. It welcomes new members with a guided onboarding DM and has tools to search messages, list members, manage invites, and review calls.Email Catch-Up
Categories: InboxStay caught up via email when you’re away from Ando. A daily digest summarises unread channel activity, and targeted emails surface missed Jams and direct messages as they happen. Each email type has its own decision logic, so you only get notifications you’d actually act on.Improvements
