You can now onboard a new hire who understands you perfectly and acts on your behalf with precision. And there’s more. This coworker will never raid your lunch in the breakroom fridge.
Meet Tessa. As the AI coworker designed to transform the way you work, Tessa turns your everyday language into powerful, seamless business workflows and process automations. The AI listens, understands, and handles the heavy lifting to make countless tasks effortless.
Tessa’s story: The inspiration behind this groundbreaking AI workflow tool
Tessa’s creation is the product of two visionary founders. Mo Nasir, Tessa’s CEO, spent over four years working on self-driving cars at NVIDIA. His passion for building intelligent systems that learn and evolve naturally fed into Tessa’s core design philosophy.
Meanwhile, Harvey Hu, Tessa’s CTO, honed his skills as a machine learning engineer at Google and TikTok. He specialized in recommendation algorithms to design systems that served billions of users worldwide.
These founders recognized one key fact: people who use AI agents need them to do more than execute programmed commands. The truth, however, is that AI agents can only integrate into the workplace if they learn and improve over time, just like human workers.
The co-founders’ goal was to design a system smarter than no-code platforms and faster than hiring additional staff. Together, they’re launching Tessa, an automation platform that acts as a real AI coworker for the modern team.
How does Tessa work? Exploring all new AI workflow automation software
First things first. Tessa is not your average generative AI chatbot or task automation tool. The system understands text, images, and forms in the same way a human would. You simply give Tessa a command or a question in everyday language — no technical jargon or code required. The system interprets your directions and breaks down the request into clear, manageable steps.
For example, if you say, “Hey Tessa, reserve a table for five around 7:00 PM next Friday at Teleferic Barcelona,” Tessa can scour online reservation systems, navigate through the booking steps, and secure your table — all hands-free. Unlike many tools that require hands-on interaction, Tessa handles parallel processing tasks independently and notifies you when your task is complete.
While Tessa typically operates with complete autonomy, you can pause the workflow or take over at any moment to balance between automated action and human control. That way, you stay in the driver’s seat and avoid getting bogged down in the details.
Before beginning a task, the AI cross-checks references and verifies information. Then, the system fine-tunes search parameters and clarifies any ambiguous points by asking you questions. This dialogue ensures you get the most relevant and trustworthy results.
Putting the new AI assistant to the test: What can Tessa do?
Think through the tasks you do every day. Tessa can even take on your multi-step processes.
For example, when navigating complicated travel bookings, the system accesses websites offering different prices to click through all steps and retrieve final costs, including taxes and fees, so you get the full picture — no surprises. Say goodbye to tedious manual searches.
And if you often need in-depth information, Tessa can perform thorough investigations with high accuracy. The system consolidates its findings and references them with powerful verification. In other words, you know you can trust the information.
Unlike many AI tools limited to text, Tessa understands images and forms. Just consider how filling out documents or interpreting complex formats broadens the system’s usefulness.
Real-world use cases for Tessa: How people use AI automation across workflow management and business processes
Tessa puts powerful automation and natural language workflows into the hands of diverse users. One innovative application powered by Tessa is URLtoSpeech.com, which converts any website into a high-quality audio podcast.
Users simply enter a webpage URL, and Tessa automatically scans, parses, and converts the text content into natural, human-like speech. Now, busy professionals can digest a long article, industry report, or blog post during their commute or while working out.
Tessa is also working with a county in the state of New York to streamline the drafting of legislative resolutions. In government, where processing large amounts of documents quickly and accurately is crucial, Tessa helps reduce manual overhead by translating natural language requests into automated workflows.
Users can instruct Tessa to gather internal documents, check emails and status updates, and produce documents with detailed inline citations. By embedding Tessa into their operational toolkit, governments and businesses can turn cumbersome processes into smooth, reliable, and observable processes.
Why Tessa is your ideal AI coworker: The new benefits of AI workflow automation tools
Tessa’s biggest strength, however, is its accessibility. You don’t need to be a tech wizard or coding expert to benefit. If you can talk, you can work with Tessa.
You don’t type commands or code scripts. You just speak naturally, and Tessa makes it happen.
Tessa helps you offload the busy work so you can focus on what truly matters. Imagine never having to babysit a tedious process again or spend hours chasing down information and bookings. Your new AI coworker has it covered. So go ahead, say “Hey Tessa,” and watch how natural language turns into powerful, accurate workflows.
