Town raises $55M for AI assistant that builds self-organizing company wikis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Town, a new company that recently emerged from stealth, has raised $55 million from Andreessen Horowitz to develop an AI assistant designed to create a self-organizing corporate workspace. The assistant, called a "Townie," integrates with a user's calendar and email to provide daily briefings and take limited actions. A key feature is its ability to build a comprehensive wiki about the user, their work, and their colleagues, which informs the assistant's capabilities and aims to automate the maintenance of internal company knowledge bases, potentially replacing tools like Notion.
