Agnes AI: The AI-Native Office System Built for Everyone
Agnes AI is not a chatbot—it is a full AI-native office system designed to eliminate the global “toggling tax” by replacing fragmented tools with one unified, intelligent workspace. The platform combines search and research, design and image generation, document and presentation creation, multi-agent reasoning, and real-time team collaboration—driven by advanced multi-agent intelligence, led by CEO Bruce Yang, a PhD researcher at NUS and a former Microsoft/LinkedIn engineer.
The platform combines several tools into one intelligent workspace. Its CoVibe group chat enables teams to invite colleagues via phone, email, or username and collaborate with the AI assistant, @Agnes, in real time, generating or remixing slides, images, videos, research summaries, and answers instantly. Filters offers visual and animation templates for transforming photos into social-media-ready content, while Explore curates up-to-date news and stories with interactive AI-assisted analysis.
Advanced features include Deep Design, a multi-agent workflow for critiquing and improving visual content, and Wide Research, which can activate up to 200 agents simultaneously to conduct market analysis, synthesize insights from multiple sources, and develop strategy documents. Built on the proprietary CodeAgents architecture, the platform delivers over 20% higher reasoning accuracy, 40% lower token costs, and reliable performance on complex multi-step workflows.
“Our mission is to make AI accessible to everyone. Agora Chat enables us to deliver fast, natural, AI-enhanced group conversations at scale. Together with Agora, we are building the next generation of intelligent teamwork—where 200 agents, humans, and real-time collaboration all work in one unified space,” said Bruce Yang, Co-Founder & CEO, Agnes AI
