ORB VS TOWN

Two assistants that connect to everything you use — built for different users.

Town is an AI assistant that spans your email, calendar, Slack, docs and WhatsApp. Orb connects to the same kinds of tools, but is purpose-built for people who are busy running a business, and need an assistant ready to use.
