BAND raises $17M to fix AI agent chaos — lets different AI assistants work together instead of staying isolated

3 Key Points

  1. BAND (also known as Thenvoi AI Ltd.), a new startup, exited stealth today with $17 million in Seed funding to solve a problem that has emerged as companies deploy more AI agents: different AI assistants built by different tools (LangChain, CrewAI, Salesforce, custom Python scripts) cannot easily hand off tasks to each other or coordinate work.

  2. BAND built what it calls an 'interaction infrastructure' — essentially a translation layer that lets AI agents communicate regardless of which platform or tool built them, turning a fragmented collection of isolated digital workers into a unified team that can collaborate on complex tasks.

  3. For enterprises deploying multiple AI agents across departments and systems, this means avoiding the costly engineering headache of manually rebuilding agents to work together — a major pain point as companies move beyond experimenting with AI to actually embedding it into their operations. Finance teams using one AI tool and customer service teams using another can now have those AIs coordinate seamlessly.
