Agnes AI, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence (AI)-native work platform, has partnered with Agora, Inc., a global real-time engagement technologies firm, to power a new AI Group Chat and multi-agent collaboration system.

The platform enables real-time interaction between human users and AI agents, supporting productivity and multi-agent reasoning at scale, and targets a rapidly growing market
for artificial intelligence (AI)-driven workplace tools in Southeast Asia and beyond, the duo said in a statement on last Thursday.

According to the statement, the regional market for AI-enabled collaboration tools is projected to grow sharply over the next few years, driven by rising adoption of AI in business workflows, remote work, and productivity platforms.

Agnes AI aims to capture this opportunity by providing a unified workspace that integrates search, research, content creation, and team collaboration with multi-agent intelligence.

Since its launch, Agnes AI, co-founded by Bruce Yang, has reached more than 200,000 daily active users (DAU) and 3 million registered users.

Its parent company, SAPIENS, is fundraising at a $100 million valuation.

The platform is on track to reach 1 million DAU by the first quarter of 2026 and 5 million by year-end, reflecting strong growth momentum across the region.

“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,” said Bruce Yang, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Agnes AI.

The workspace leverages Agora’s SDRTN® technology for low-latency messaging and real-time synchronization across devices and regions.

This infrastructure allows AI agents to participate in group conversations, provide instant summaries, and support collaborative research, co-editing, and multi-agent reasoning for users across Southeast Asia and beyond.

“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,” said Tony Wang, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer, Agora.

The platform combines several tools into one intelligent workspace.

Its CoVibe group chat enables teams to invite colleagues via phone, email, or username and collaborate with the AI
assistant, @Agnes, in real time, generating or remixing slides, images, videos, research summaries, and answers instantly.

Filters offers visual and animation templates for transforming photos into social-media-ready content, while Explore curates up-to-date news and stories with interactive AI-assisted analysis.

Advanced features include Deep Design, a multi-agent workflow for critiquing and improving visual content, and Wide Research, which can activate up to 200 agents simultaneously to conduct market analysis, synthesize insights from multiple sources, and develop strategy
documents.

Built on the proprietary CodeAgents architecture, the platform delivers over 20 percent higher reasoning accuracy, 40 percent lower token costs, and reliable performance on complex multi-step workflows.

Looking ahead, Agnes AI is previewing the Vibepod, an AI-powered headset integrating multi-agent capabilities with Agora’s real-time engine to provide hands-free AI assistance.

By combining real-time human-AI collaboration with multi-agent reasoning, Agnes AI and Agora said they are positioning themselves at the forefront of a rapidly expanding market for AI-driven workplace tools in Southeast Asia and beyond, offering a scalable solution for the next generation of intelligent teamwork.
