Andon Labs Pion
Persistent, long-running agents for whole businesses — not a workflow canvas
Pion is Andon Labs’ platform of persistent, long-running agents for running whole businesses (not workflow canvases). Included tools: email, phone, banking, browser, secure bash, inventory, and staff direction via Slack. An oversight agent, Andonos, keeps operators on track. Live deployments include Andon Market (SF retail), Andon Café (Stockholm), Andon FM radio stations, and vending. Research preview waitlist is open; Andon funds selected experiments. Primaries: andonlabs.com/pion, the 2026-09-14 “Why we built Pion” post, and andonlabs.com.
Use Cases
- Hand an existing retail, café, vending, radio, or software business to persistent agents
- Join the research-preview waitlist; Andon funds selected experiments
- Direct staff and operations via Slack while Andonos keeps the operator on track
- Give an agent email, phone, banking, browser, secure bash, and inventory without building that stack
- Pair a live autonomous-org deployment with Andon’s evals (Vending-Bench, Blueprint-Bench, Drone-Bench)
Key Features
Persistent agents, not a canvas
Pion is a cloud platform where agents run continuously and take care of a business. It is not a workflow canvas or partial-automation tool.
Andonos oversight
Operators set direction and get updates through Andonos, the overseeing agent. Andon Labs says you do not need to speak with the operating agents directly.
Email, phone, banking, browser, bash
Included tools for running a business: email, phone, banking, browser, and a secure terminal / bash environment.
Inventory and Slack staff direction
Inventory tools plus staff direction via Slack, as used on Andon’s live deployments.
Live deployments and evals
Andon Market (San Francisco retail), Andon Café (Stockholm), Andon FM radio stations, and vending run on Pion. Safety work is paired with Vending-Bench, Blueprint-Bench, and Drone-Bench. No performance metrics are copied into this row.
