About the team

AI Teammates Experience owns the end-to-end user-facing experience of AI Teammates, from first discovery and adoption through ongoing collaboration. We build for three core audiences: teams, admins, and individual users. We help teams create, discover, interact with, and manage their AI Teammates; help admins deploy AI Teammates successfully in their organization; and help users discover and work with their Personal Teammates.
