PANDA was an AI-enabled cross-app search application for customer-facing teams. It used AI to organize disparate information (dropbox, slack, Google Docs, emails, etc) automatically by customers and uses AI/NLP to extract insights. While PANDA was a technically remarkable product with numerous paying customers, we ultimately decided that user adoption didn't meet our expectations for continued investment.
