Narada AI’s enterprise agent will use workplace tools for you
- Narada AI, a Silicon Valley start-up, has revealed an AI assistant that can carry out functions across a range of work apps at once.
- It was presented publicly for the first time at the Startup Battlefield 20, TechCrunch Disrupt 2024.
- The service can manage actions such as drafting emails, creating calendar invites and taking meeting notes. Narada’s lead co-founder, CEO Dave Park, said it would also navigate enterprise applications, even without APIs.
- The AI assistant works primarily through the front-end of websites, using open-source technology developed by two of the start-up’s co-founders who published a paper this year on LLM Compilers – AI systems that can carry out several functions at the same time.
- The model of the assistant is designed specifically for productivity tools, with Park saying it could revolutionise virtual assistants in enterprise.
- Narada has already secured a Fortune 500 client. According to the company, it has been able to click, scroll and type through web pages, but the difference with similar virtual assistants that work in this way, including Rabbit’s LAM, is Narada is focused on enterprise applications rather than providing general assistance.
- It can also read a calendar, and is currently operating through APIs to Gmail.
- It is primarily a timesaving tool, although the user will require trust that the company does not misuse personal or company data.
- The start-up has already raised funds from advisers but is seeking investments from traditional venture capitalists.
- Webpages can update their layouts, breaking some agents. However, Narada is looking to map out the newest apps automatically to reduce maintenance.
