We've already started giving some of our own non-essential company tasks to a Concorde shared agent

For example, we asked it to plan our next company offsite, connected the relevant documents, and gave the team a way to send it their preferences and ideas

🧵 4/6

Today we're introducing the Concorde Launcher

It lets a group set up their own Concorde shared agent that works for the whole group, keeps a shared memory, and can be used from a phone or through Telegram

It's available in invite-only alpha to a small number of groups

"we won't frontrun you" - private mempools

.@bezzenberger will be in Munich next week for ConsulCon to share the progress we’re making with Shutter Governance on private & verifiable voting, as well as our work on shared agents for organizations & communities

Let us know if you're around

Just published a guide to verifiable online elections on the Shutter Governance site

It’s written for election admins & voting platforms, but sharing it here because it's useful for everyone!

We break down how elections can be independently verified while keeping votes secure

This also supports a temporary agent called Discorde for situations such as disputes, escrow, hiring, and negotiations

Unlike Concorde which is designed to have a long memory, Discorde holds no history, and is created when a dispute begins and disappears after it ends

🧵8/9

Concorde makes shared agents for organizations possible by

▸ Putting a gateway between members and the agent, so nobody controls it privately
▸ Keeping a shared record of every interaction
▸ Letting the agent sign commitments anyone can verify
🧵7/9

Months ago we posted that the most valuable AI agents will be shared, not personal

Today we release an alpha version of Concorde, an open-source framework for giving your organization one shared agent that's designed to be controlled by a group
