Quick answer
Type is the shared AI workspace for company context, connected tools, reusable skills, collaborative threads, custom apps, and automations. It turns successful AI work into a system the entire team can find, improve, and reuse.
Why are we launching Type?
We built Type because the value of AI should spread across a team instead of staying trapped in private chats.
Today, we're publicly launching Type, the shared workspace that compounds your team's best AI work. Teams need one centralized place to build apps, skills, and automations together. Our ambition is to build the last piece of software your team will ever need.
To pursue that ambition, we've raised $4 million in pre-seed funding from Lerer Hippeau, Haystack, Matchstick, and executives at Slack, GitHub, Coinbase, Ramp, and Replit.
Our founders previously built Halp, which defined conversational ticketing in the last era of software. Slack was an investor, OpenAI was a customer, and Atlassian acquired the company.
Now, everyone is launching swarms of AI agents and teammates. But the number of agents a company has is a vanity metric when most of them are stuck in individual chat silos, wasting tokens on wrong answers and unnecessary work. The teams winning with AI are the ones whose best work is visible and compounds across the whole team. That's what Type is for.
How is Type different?
Type combines shared context, model choice, connected tools, durable memory, and app building in one workspace the whole team can improve.
Type puts your integrations, skills, files, and chat threads in one place your whole team can see, either directly in Slack or through the desktop and mobile apps. As soon as one person figures out how to get great work from AI, it spreads to everyone instead of living in a silo.
Teams can use whichever model is best for the job without locking into one provider. Engineers can use Codex while marketers use Claude, and existing Claude and Codex subscriptions can connect to Type so teams are not paying twice.
Tools are connected and authorized once, with permissions and guardrails at the team and individual level. Type also includes built-in tools for work such as scraping and searching LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and the web.
The more a team works in Type, the smarter its shared company brain becomes. Type learns the team's customers, context, and preferred ways of working so people do not have to re-explain the business every morning.
Teams can also build custom interactive apps and internal tools that everyone can edit and use. Type handles permissions, access, data, and hosting so people can create dashboards, inventory systems, landing pages, and other software without the usual infrastructure overhead.
“The more our team uses Type as a whole, the better quality the AI gets for the team. Your whole departments can be using it rather than just individual team members.”
— Ray Lee, Co-founder and CEO, Raycon

What are teams already doing with Type?
Teams already use Type to run support, merchandising, growth, reporting, and financial workflows that improve with every successful job.
Customers are running thousands of successful agent jobs that handle support conversations, scale merchandising systems, and run go-to-market plays.
Direct-to-consumer brands are building landing pages for paid campaigns and shifting budget toward the best-performing variants. A fast-growing B2B team supports thousands of customers with personalized health reports delivered before every meeting. Executives run financial analysis on profit-and-loss statements and use it to make hiring and spending decisions.
Intelligems, the e-commerce optimization platform, turned 1,500 support tickets into a knowledge base that makes every answer better than the last.
Every day, we're surprised by what teams automate. Type makes every person on a team AI-fluent and turns each successful workflow into a starting point for the next one.
“It's probably halved, if not more, compared to the previous solution. The answers are much more detailed, thought through, and need less iteration to get to the right outcome.”
— Max Klug, Intelligems

Frequently asked questions
What is Type?
Type is a shared AI workspace where teams organize company context, connect tools, build reusable skills and apps, collaborate with multiple AI models, and automate recurring work.
How is Type different from a chatbot?
A chatbot usually keeps work inside one private conversation. Type makes integrations, files, skills, threads, apps, and automations visible and reusable across the team, so useful AI work compounds instead of disappearing into individual chat histories.
Can teams use different AI models in Type?
Yes. Teams can choose the model that fits each job, including Claude and Codex, and can connect existing subscriptions to avoid paying twice for the same access.
How does Type handle connected tools and permissions?
Teams connect and authorize tools once, then set permissions and guardrails at the team and individual level so they control exactly what AI can access and change.
What can teams build with Type?
Teams use Type to create reusable skills, automations, analytics dashboards, inventory tools, landing-page prototypes, support workflows, financial analysis, and other interactive internal apps.
