Underscore VC

Big exciting announcement: I’m excited to share that I’ve signed the agreement for @Grammarly to acquire Coda! And I’m honored to lead the combined companies as CEO. I share much more details on how this came about in my blog post, but as I chatted with the leaders at Grammarly, I realized that both companies have arrived at remarkably similar views of the future. One where AI will redefine every business application and workflow, reinventing productivity as we know it today into a place where humans and AI work together everywhere you get work done. Grammarly is an amazing platform — with over 40 million daily active users, I see Grammarly as one of the world’s most ubiquitous AI assistants. We have a broad roadmap of how we’ll bring the products together. First, we’ll be working on making Grammarly’s ubiquitous AI assistant even “smarter” and “more helpful” by adding the context of Coda Brain. And second, we’ll be working on unifying Coda Docs and the Grammarly Assistant to provide users with a flexible home for users to work. Longer term, we have much grander plans for how we’ll weave together our products to build the AI productivity platform for agents and apps. I think it will feel like a dramatic acceleration for the Coda product and mission, helping to reach millions of users and help redefine the future of AI-driven productivity. It’s an important milestone, a big transition for the company. I couldn’t be more excited about it! Read more at: bit.ly/41zqxuz
