Shortwave is the AI agent app for business communications.

Most people's experience with AI today involves copy & pasting content back and forth from ChatGPT, or using simple AI features sprinkled into legacy apps. Not only are these terrible user experiences -- they're severely limiting to the the transformative potential of AI.

We see an opportunity to build a new kind of communications app -- one designed from the ground up with AI at its core, where our entire UX is optimized for effective human-AI collaboration. Our goal is to unlock 10x (or greater) productivity gains by bringing cutting edge AI together with all of a user's business communications in a single app. With Shortwave, users can give the AI access to all of their data and then take action while still maintaining total control over what the AI does.

We're focusing on email initially, as it's (1) ubiquitous (2) an open platform and (3) has a diverse set of valuable business data. In the future, however, we plan to expand beyond email to include all essential business communications tools.

Shortwave's founders Andrew Lee and Jonny Dimond believe that a small, focused team of ambitious and talented people can outcompete much larger teams, and that with AI this is now more true than ever.

Shortwave is backed by world class investors, including Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
