The company deliberately avoids the term 'agent,' arguing teammates own outcomes rather than just tasks. Clients include NBCUniversal, Unity, and ChargePoint, with over a million hours of autonomous work claimed. The piece notes the tension between Convey's job-displacement-softening narrative and the reality that the technology can replace workers, and flags competition from OpenAI and Anthropic as the bigger existential threat. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Convey raised a $38 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Khosla Ventures and Pear VC also participating.

Convey's framing distinguishes a teammate as responsible for an entire outcome rather than a specific task, which is how the company differentiates itself from the crowded 'AI agent' category. Co-founder Rohan Chopra argues the word 'agent' has become overloaded in enterprise software, prompting the rebrand. _Developers evaluating AI automation vendors can follow naming and positioning shifts like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Ex-DeepMind founders raise $20M for Airspeed's AI sales agents](https://daily.dev/posts/ex-deepmind-founders-raise-20m-for-airspeed-s-ai-sales-agents-3ld000ryi) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Convex raises a $57M Series B](https://daily.dev/posts/convex-raises-a-57m-series-b-id5ljewur) · Convex · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#automation](https://daily.dev/tags/automation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/convey-raises-38m-from-a16z-for-ai-teammates--kd1vgid65) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Convey raises $38M from a16z for AI 'teammates'","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/convey-raises-38m-from-a16z-for-ai-teammates--kd1vgid65","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/convey-raises-38m-from-a16z-for-ai-teammates--kd1vgid65"},"datePublished":"2026-06-17T15:44:17.895Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:10:47.710Z","description":"Convey, a startup founded by an early DoorDash employee, has raised a $38M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz to build AI 'teammates' for back-office work....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/fe7cce00794993fb50aec7abdc4465fe?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/fe7cce00794993fb50aec7abdc4465fe?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/convey-raises-38m-from-a16z-for-ai-teammates--kd1vgid65","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,automation","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Convey raises $38M from a16z for AI 'teammates'"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/convey-raises-38m-from-a16z-for-ai-teammates--kd1vgid65#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much funding did Convey raise and who led the round?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Convey raised a $38 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Khosla Ventures and Pear VC also participating.
