Agnes AI has launched a new real-time AI workspace through a partnership with Agora, bringing human teams and AI agents into a single collaborative environment. The platform combines chat, content creation, research tools and multi-agent intelligence, aiming to meet rising regional demand for AI-powered productivity systems. The company expects to scale rapidly, targeting 1 million daily active users by Q1 2026 and 5 million by the end of 2026.
The company, co-founded by Bruce Yang, has grown quickly since launch. It now has more than 200,000 daily active users and 3 million registered users. Its parent company, SAPIENS, is currently fundraising at a valuation of US$100 million. Agnes AI is positioning the platform as a way to streamline day-to-day work by integrating search, research, design and communication within one connected interface.
Yang said the collaboration with Agora strengthens the company’s ability to support real-time, AI-enhanced teamwork. “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,” he said.
Real-time infrastructure for multi-agent teamwork
The new workspace is powered by Agora’s real-time engagement technology, including its SDRTN infrastructure for low-latency messaging and synchronisation across regions. This allows AI agents to join group conversations, generate instant summaries and support tasks such as collaborative research, co-editing and multi-layered reasoning.
Tony Wang, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Agora, said the partnership reflects the direction of workplace technology. “Multi-agent collaboration is quickly becoming the next frontier of workplace technology, and Agnes AI is ahead of that curve. Agora Chat provides the low-latency, real-time infrastructure that makes this new class of AI-native workflows possible. We’re excited to support a platform that is setting the pace for how teams and AI agents will work together globally,” he said.
The platform’s CoVibe group chat allows users to invite colleagues through their phone number, email or username. Within chats, teams can work with the AI assistant, @Agnes, to generate slides, images, videos, research summaries or quick answers. Additional tools such as Filters help users convert photos into social-ready visuals, while Explore aggregates recent news with interactive, AI-assisted analysis.
Expanding capabilities with multi-agent workflows
Agnes AI also includes more advanced features designed for complex creative and analytical tasks. Deep Design offers a multi-agent system that critiques and enhances visual content, while Wide Research can activate up to 200 agents at once to conduct market analysis, merge insights from different sources and produce strategy documents. These capabilities run on the company’s CodeAgents architecture, which delivers improvements in reasoning accuracy and cost efficiency compared to previous models.
Agnes AI is also previewing upcoming hardware called the Vibepod. The AI-powered headset integrates the company’s multi-agent system with Agora’s real-time engine, giving users hands-free access to AI assistance. A demonstration is currently available to showcase how the device works.
Both companies expect continued momentum as demand for AI-driven collaboration tools grows across the region. By combining real-time communication, multi-agent reasoning and an expanding set of workspace tools, the platform aims to support the next stage of digital productivity for Southeast Asia’s workforce and global teams.
