Shortwave

We just raised $20M to build the cloud agent operating system for work. The round is led by Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed, with participation from Y Combinator, Jeff Dean, Patrick & John Collison, and others. It values the company at $175M. Tasklet grew over 1,200% in Q1 2026 and just crossed $5M ARR. With this new money we can move even faster. For 30 years, doing work on a computer has meant switching between dozens of apps and manually stitching them together. Every app has its own interface to learn, its own data silo, and its own limitations. You adapt to the software. That era has ended. Tasklet is a single AI agent that connects to every tool you use at work, takes real actions across all of them, generates custom UIs on the fly, writes and runs code, and operates 24/7 in the cloud. You don't go to the software anymore — the software comes to you. With this new funding, we're investing in: 🔌 The deepest connectivity layer in AI — any tool, one sentence away 🧠 A smarter agent harness — more models, better context engineering, lower cost 🖥️ Full computer use — code execution and browser control as core primitives 🏢 Teams & orgs — permissions, compliance, and audit logging for enterprise 📱 Mobile — push notifications and agent control from your phone ✨ Simplicity above all — the product gets more capable and feels simpler Today, we're also announcing that Tasklet is out of beta and now generally available. If you've been waiting to try it — now is the time. And we're hiring. 11 open roles in San Francisco across engineering, design, marketing, customer success, and operations. We offer a $20,000 referral bonus for every successful hire. Full post here: https://lnkd.in/gHKNx3yp

Tasklet vs. OpenClaw: An Honest Comparison Everyone's talking about @openclaw 🦞 (formerly Clawdbot, briefly Moltbot), and many people have asked me how @TaskletAI compares. Here's my breakdown of both—pros, cons, and who should use what. This comparison is written by Tasklet 🤘🏻. The TL;DR: Both are AI agents that actually DO things, not just chat. But they take opposite approaches: 🦞 OpenClaw = open source, runs locally, maximum flexibility ⚡ Tasklet = managed cloud service, zero setup, security-first 🦞 OPENCLAW PROS: ✓ 100% free & open source (100k+ GitHub stars) ✓ Runs locally—your data never leaves your machine ✓ Extreme flexibility—full system access, can even make phone calls ✓ Self-modifying—writes its own skills, edits its own prompts ✓ Chat from anywhere—WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage ✓ Model agnostic—Claude, GPT, local models, etc ✓ Passionate community & incredible "vibe" 🦞 OPENCLAW CONS: ✗ Real security risks—Forbes documented exposed control panels, API leaks ✗ Complex setup—CLI, API keys, OAuth, Cloudflare tunneling, ongoing maintenance ✗ Shadow IT nightmare—Token Security found 22% of enterprise employees running it without IT approval ✗ Credentials stored in plain text files ✗ You're the sysadmin—updates, security patches, network exposure = your problem ⚡ TASKLET PROS: ✓ Zero setup—works immediately, no CLI, no API keys to manage ✓ Security by design—no exposed dashboards, managed infra ✓ 3,000+ integrations + MCP server support + Direct API connections (connect to ANY HTTP API with custom auth). ✓ Powerful triggers—cron schedules, webhooks, RSS feeds, Gmail. Runs 24/7. ✓ Cloud Computer Use—on-demand VMs spin up when needed. No Mac Mini farm required. ✓ Sandboxed code execution—your machine stays safe ✓ Built-in SQL database—no plain-text credential files ✓ iMessage & Telegram built in ⚡ TASKLET CONS: ✗ Not open source ✗ Fewer chat interfaces (no WhatsApp/Discord/Slack yet though it does do iMessage & Telegram) ✗ Subscription cost vs. OpenClaw's free (but BYOK) model ✗ Less "hackable"—can't modify core prompts ✗ Cloud dependent—can't run offline WHO SHOULD USE WHAT: Choose OpenClaw if: → You're technical & want to hack/extend everything → Privacy-maximalist (local-only, fully inspectable) → Want WhatsApp/Discord/Slack chat interfaces → Learning how agentic AI works under the hood Choose Tasklet if: → Enterprise/business use (managed security, no shadow IT) → Non-technical (zero setup, no CLI) → Need custom/internal API connections without code → Want reliable scheduled workflows & triggers → Don't want to maintain dedicated hardware THE BOTTOM LINE: OpenClaw is a thrilling glimpse of what's possible when you remove guardrails. It's "everything Siri was supposed to be." But the security risks are real and documented. Tasklet trades some raw power for peace of mind. You won't edit your own SOUL.md, but you also won't wake up to API keys exposed on the internet.

Big launch today: Shortwave now integrates with Tasklet, our AI automation engine. Your inbox can finally work while you sleep. We built Tasklet to automate recurring work across your tools. But until now, it couldn't touch the things that make Shortwave great—drafts, todos, and comments all lived outside its reach. Today that changes. Here's what's new: 📝 Drafts that appear in Shortwave When Tasklet drafts a reply, it shows up right in Shortwave—not buried in Gmail. Review it, tweak it, send it. ✅ Todo management Turn emails into todos, mark them complete, or organize your task list automatically. Wake up to a prioritized list instead of a wall of unread messages. 💬 Comments on threads Tasklet can add context, flag issues, or drop in relevant info as comments—so your team sees what they need without you lifting a finger. Some things you can build: → "When I get an email from a VIP, add a todo and draft a reply" → "When I add the 'Needs Response' label, draft a reply for me" → "Every morning, create todos for anything that needs action" Just describe it. Tasklet does the rest. And remember—Tasklet connects to 3,000+ apps. Combine your inbox with Slack, Notion, Drive, your CRM. Build workflows across your whole stack. Shortwave: your AI assistant when you're working. Tasklet: your AI automation running 24/7. Now they work together.

We just shipped some major updates to Tasklet's core agent architecture 👇🏻

AI automation is about to be taken to the next level -- follow Tasklet to stay up-to-date.

We just shipped Claude Opus 4.5 in Shortwave. It's Anthropic's most intelligent model ever—and their internal testers described it as the AI that "just gets it." What does that mean for email? → Better at understanding nuance and context → Smarter drafts that actually sound like you → Handles complex, multi-step requests with ease → More effective use of AI integrations The best part: Opus 4.5 is 3x more quota efficient than the previous Opus model. So Max plan users can now use significantly more AI on Expert mode without burning through quota. More power AND way more usage. Available now for Shortwave Max users: https://app.shortwave.com
