We're drowning in emails and Instant Messages and need AI to help make sense of it all. As a former CTO for a fast growing startup I was struck by how often everybody was asking the same questions about connections and skills, and how much time and efforts were wasted in mid-size organizations because of lack of transparency and visibility.

I'm building AntEater (www.anteateranalytics.com) with my team to bridge this gap and empower everyone who uses Gmail and Slack to be more knowledgeable - and as smart as the entire team, using AI. This is a radical shift in terms of information flow in organizations but I truly believe a more transparent workflow will lead to less work and less frustrations.

You can check out the project here - it's free for small teams https://try.anteateranalytics.com/

Mercari has an internal tool that does something similar.[1] I think it’s a brilliant product. Your marketing site turns me off, though. It lacks the polish I want from something that I’m granting permission to spy on my internal corporate comms. I want to feel very certain that the trade off of privacy vs convenience will pay off.
