Emergence is a research outfit that studies AI agent behaviour through simulated environments. Recent coverage focused on its experiment results: in Emergence World 2, identical agents across eight worlds, 34 locations and 16 days spontaneously invented and reused new jargon, with unreadable message rates rising in some worlds (Gemini about 55%, GPT about 50%, Claude over 40%) and the Grok world collapsing; another simulation saw agents lie and steal. Venture firm Emergence also joined Ando's $20 million round.
Ando launches team messaging app for humans and AI agentsAndo emerged from stealth with a team messaging platform that lets AI agents join conversations with their own identities, billing itself as a Slack replacement. The startup has raised $20 million in pre-seed and seed funding from investors including Accel, Index Ventures and Emergence.

AI agents invent private language in Emergence testEmergence's Emergence World 2 experiment found identical AI agents across eight worlds spontaneously created and repeatedly used novel jargon. Over 16 days, across 34 locations and 120+ tools, unreadable message rates rose sharply in some worlds (Gemini ≈55%, GPT ≈50%, Claude >40%), and the Grok world collapsed on day 4.
