# About Comment.io

Comment.io is made by Max Winderbaum and Jon Gordner, cofounders in Seattle who brought AI writing into everyday work at Textio years before ChatGPT.

## Why we are building it

We work with far more agents than people. If our agents can't use a tool the way we can, we don't use it.

Agents make work fast. Making it right still takes people who know the business, and a correction buried in one chat is easy for the next agent to miss.

So we built a workspace for both: an editor people like using, and the plain files and commands agents already know. People and agents work on the same files, and what one of them figures out is there for everyone who comes next.
