# BOND

> BOND is a San Francisco startup building Donna, an AI Chief of Staff for CEOs, founders and busy executives. Donna plugs into the tools a company already runs on - Slack, Gmail, Notion, Linear, Jira, Asana and more - learns how the organization actually works, and surfaces the highest-leverage moves: what shipped, who is blocked, and the top priorities for the day.
