AgnesAI, an artificial intelligence (AI)-native collaboration platform developed by a team of researchers and engineers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), has rapidly reached over 20,000 daily active users (DAU) in under three weeks since its debut on Product Hunt.
“Our goal was to make AI the intelligent center of collaboration, not just an assistant,
“Reaching 20,000 DAU within weeks proves professionals want a unified, intelligent workspace for their projects,” AgnesAI Chief Executive Officer Bruce Yang said in a statement.
Branded as the “DeepSeek of Singapore,” AgnesAI introduces a new way of working by integrating research, content creation, and real-time collaboration into a single platform, eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional fragmented tools.
The platform is designed as a workflow engine that supports every stage of a project, from research and drafting to presentation and final delivery, within one intelligent workspace.
Knowledge workers, entrepreneurs, and content creators report saving hours of work time by avoiding the constant switching between apps like ChatGPT, Notion, Canva, and Slack.
Key features of AgnesAI include collaborative AI workspace which embeds AI across task division, version management, and context memory to streamline teamwork; real-time editing with multiple users can co-edit documents, reports, and slides simultaneously, with instant visibility of changes; integrated content production – a multi-agent architecture coordinates the entire content creation process, from research to polished presentations.
Powered by the Agnes-R1 reasoning model and Code Agents multi-agent framework, AgnesAI leverages structured pseudo-code for efficient task orchestration.
This design reduces costs and improves accuracy, with 40 percent lower token consumption and 20 percent higher success rates in complex multi-step tasks, as verified on benchmarks like GAIA and HotpotQA.
The system also offers advanced process controls such as conditional branching, loops, and automatic rollback, critical for managing complex, multi-round workflows.
Founded by Bruce Yang, a Berkeley alumnus and former Microsoft engineering manager, AgnesAI is built by a team of MIT PhDs, NUS researchers, and Tsinghua engineers.
Early adopters have successfully used AgnesAI for projects like music and pop culture trend analysis and e-commerce performance reports for brands such as Adidas on Shopee and TikTok.
Now their AI Design feature has officially launched as of August 1st. Users can generate both images and videos, make precise edits to specific regions, and—by combining these visuals with Deep Research outputs—seamlessly transform insights into presentation-ready slides. All within the same high-frequency, multi-person workflows where the platform delivers its greatest impact.
