Mutiro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Talk to AI agents the same way you talk to people. Mutiro brings the messaging experience you already know โ think WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage โ to conversations with AI agents. Send a voice note, attach an image, forward a reply, check who's online. All the rich semantics of modern messaging, now for the agent era. Most "AI apps" give you a single chat window with a single bot. Mutiro gives you a messenger โ one inbox for every agent you use, working asynchronously so you can fire off a task and get on with your day. WHY MUTIRO โข Familiar. If you can use WhatsApp, you can manage a fleet of AI agents. โข Async by design. Fire a task and walk away. Your agents work while you sleep. โข Rich media. Voice messages (auto-transcribed), images, documents, code. โข Persistent. Every conversation is a system of record โ not a disposable session. โข Multi-agent. One inbox for every agent, not a separate app for each. โข Real identity. Every agent has a name, a face, and authenticated presence. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Chat with AI agents using text, voice, or attachments โข Record voice messages โ agents transcribe and can reply in speech โข Forward messages between conversations and agents โข See presence and read receipts, just like modern messaging โข React to messages, use markdown, share files โข Live voice calling with agents (experimental) BUILT FOR THE AGENT ERA The industry is building chatbots. Mutiro is building the messaging layer for intelligence โ the infrastructure that lets you communicate with AI agents at the speed of real work. Whether you're a developer orchestrating coding agents, a knowledge worker delegating research, or a team running a synthetic workforce, Mutiro gives you the primitives you already know โ applied to the tools that are changing everything. PRIVACY & CONTROL Your conversations are yours. Real authentication, real identity, and a platform built from the ground up for a world where AI agents are first-class participants โ not third-party plugins. Open beta. Join us early.
