Superhuman for text messages

We’re building an AI-native messaging app. Pond is a desktop app you can use with your existing messaging services like iMessage (and soon WhatsApp + more). You can see important messages you haven’t replied to, snooze conversations, answer customers in your voice, and more.

Ask

  • You can try Pond today, for free. No need to create a separate phone number.
  • If you or your team spend hours messaging, please reach out to us at contact@trypond.ai or talk to us. Or if you know anyone that we could help (e.g. sales teams, business owners, real estate agents) please introduce us!

Problem

Does your messages app look like this? It shouldn’t have to.

Busy people get hundreds of work and personal messages a week, some of which are job-critical. The messages app on your computer isn’t built to sift through this information, making texting more time intensive than it should be.

Solution

Pond is a desktop app that connects to your iMessage (WhatsApp and others coming soon):

  • Sorts your messages - using AI to tag conversations and show you the most important ones
  • Lets you fly through messages faster - with better search and shortcuts
  • Connects AI to your messages - with an assistant to draft and summarize messages

About us

We became friends reading machine learning papers together in college and kept pondering how we could use some of that intelligence to help us stay on top of our lives.

At Pond, our mission is to unlock your personal context trapped in messages and other data while still keeping your personal information safe.
