Convey

building @conveyAI / early @doordash

Convey builds AI "teammates" that take over recurring operational work inside large enterprises, things like ad trafficking, reporting, invoice reconciliation, and account management busywork that usually falls on a smart person in ops, finance, or account management. Non-technical teams onboard Convey the way they would a new hire by sharing their screen, walking through a process, and answering a few questions. After that, Convey's agents own the outcome, running inside the company's systems and asking the right person for help when they get stuck. A key technical bet is reliability at scale: rather than running a fresh prompt loop each time, Convey compiles what it learns into versioned, testable programs so the same process runs the same way across hundreds of thousands of executions, and each teammate has its own identity and permissions inside the customer's security setup. The launch matters because it pairs a fresh $38M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with continued participation from Coastal Ventures and Pear VC, with real production usage. Convey teammates have already completed over 1.1 million hours of work, not demos or pilots, inside companies including NBCUniversal, TelevisaUnivision, Unity, Samsara, ChargePoint, and Faire. Customer examples cited by a16z include a large streaming service that handed off reporting and ad ops workflows and got back 450 hours a week, and Savoya, which used Convey to lift EBITDA 40% year over year and is on track to save 10,000 hours this year. The round is being used to ship more capable teammates aimed at end-to-end ownership of workflows rather than single-task execution. The company is led by CEO Rohan Chopra, an early DoorDash employee who built the dispatch software that automated the company's manual order brokering, an origin story the founders explicitly connect to Convey's thesis about freeing operators from rote work. Co-founders Will and Diego have been best friends with Rohan since Stanford, and sold their previous company to project44 around the same time Rohan was leaving DoorDash. For founders and operators evaluating the crowded "AI agent" space, Convey is worth a look as a bet that durable, trainable digital workers, sold to non-engineers and judged on outcomes, beat point-solution copilots inside the enterprise.
