This startup thinks email could be the key to usable AI agents

AI companies are pressing agents as a disruptive workplace in the next great workplace, but experts say they are still staying Is not ready for Prime TimeThe AI agents often fight for themselves to make decisions, frequent hallucinates, cannot cooperate with other agents, Privacy Failed to AwarenessAnd integrate with existing systems badly.

The industrial pioneers prefer Underraz carpathy And Ali Ghodsi says that the autonomous vehicle is like establishing, Need to be in the loop of the people To succeed in agents.

Called a startup Mix Its AI agent wants to address it with the platform that not only keeps people in the workflow, it allows users to directly interact with agents from their email or slack.

Mixus co-founder Eliot Catz told TechCrunch, “We meet customers today where we meet them.” “Where is every person in work today? For most parts, they are on the email and so we believe that we can do it through the email we believe it is a way we can democratic access to access [to agents]The “

If the mixes work reliably, it can solve a major problem in the AI agent space. Most AI companies today you need to create a pre-Bilt Assistant, à L Chatzipt or Jemini, or developers using framework such as Langchen, Autogen or Cruy.

Mixus was only launched in Bita outside Stanford in late 2021, but it has already collected $ 2.6 million for pre-bees funds and brought some customers, including the clothing store chain rainbow shops, as well as finances and others.

Startup says that its largest sales center is comfortable using, how you can contact them from how to create an agent. Users can use text requests to set up their agents by emailed in the platform of Mixas through chat functions or simply emailing the instructions Agent@mixus.comThe Then the mixes will create, run, run and handle the single-or multi-steps agents directly from the inbox.

For example, a customer assistance director can use a prompt that can read it:

Create an agent that finds all the exposed works in the Cumin in the Project Mixus-Dami and send a report with information in all the activities that have left me. Draft all the Assigners that have additional jobs and review me with simple clean formatting for their chat and email (any attachment/dox). Send the emails once I have verified. Run it now. And moving ahead, drive it at 7am every Monday.

Katz and his co-founder Demo for the agents for TechCrunch, showing how to add human verification to your agents, only the agent should ask you in any step to monitor.

For example, they run an agent for research before pitching TechCrunch journalists. The agent has identified and collected the news and trends of technology, analyzed the information to identify the angles of the potential story and compiled a research report as a summary of the results. In the last phase, Katz was instructed to send information to the agent to verify. Once approved, the agent will send the full research report to Magazimoff.

The founder mentioned that people may be in the loop as much as needed or as needed as needed as less-magazimoff that companies can set the organization-stained rules to ensure that the companies are being shipped out of the company.

Other colleagues are just as easy to tag with the AI agent, or to copy them through email to the agent. It is another standout in the market today than agents: most models are single users, and the concept allowed AI and Slack users to cooperate in shared places, they do not allow AI to conversation and work in real time teammates.

Another key feature of the mixes is the ability to remember files, chats, prompts and agents.

“We’ve created the space so that every team, each person, every group may have a shared memory,” said Maggimoff. “Then all my agents, all my files, all the people can be in the memory of that very particular place” “

Both ChatzPT and Clode support memory, their enterprise plans are not yet supported by the agent memory shared by users.

What else can Mixus do?

In our interview, the founders ran with an hour long demo that showed the skills and skills of different uses. The agents of the mixes seem capable, reflecting a high degree of autonomy and memory that keeps the agency on the upper end of the AI agent spectrum. That, If The product works reliably as it did in the demo.

Like other agents, Mixus can integrate with other tools from gmail to cumin, and users can trigger agents to immediately or run on a schedule. Agents can run and edit the documents or spreadsheets – like ChatzPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Jemi, but they are often limited to sandboxed environment.

Mixus allows agents to autonomously navigate the organizational context – such as the owner of a job by looking for cumin tickets in an organization.

Built in a combination of anthropic Clod 4 and OpenAI and 3, the mixes agents also have access to the web, which says Maggamoff can be tapped for live research or observation. He describes it as “Google Alert in Steroids”.

Taken together, Mixus seems to be less than a productivity tool, and is like a more tireless digital colleague – another ambitious attempt to re -imagine AI as an ally. If it acts as an advertisement you may not be your next “colleague” man then it may be faster than you through your inbox.
