Mistlabs said Monday that Ambi AI is out of beta on Apple devices, adding cross-device Routines that the company says can carry recurring work through and after meetings. Mistlabs also announced a $26 million Pre-A round led by Luminous Ventures and Huaqin, saying it will use the funding to develop a standalone wearable.
Ambi is available on Macs and Apple devices compatible with iOS 18, according to the launch announcement. The released product is the software; the wearable remains in development, and agent-to-agent negotiation is a future plan rather than a launch feature.
What changed from Ambi’s private beta?
Ambi’s first private beta, announced Aug. 17, focused on capturing conversations, voice notes and ideas, then producing transcripts and summaries, tracking tasks and building searchable memory from conversations, files and notes. Those functions were described by the company in its beta announcement. The launch adds a promise of recurring work across devices to that feature set.
Mistlabs reported 37.8% Day 7 retention among private-beta users. The announcement did not state the cohort size or how retention was calculated, so the figure does not establish how representative the beta was or how widely Ambi is used.
What can Ambi’s Routines do?
Mistlabs describes Routines as using multiple AI agents—software systems assigned tasks—to handle recurring work. In the company’s meeting example, Ambi would check claims, compare products, prepare a draft proposal and continue following up afterward.
The company also presents Ambi as able to carry context across devices and begin work without waiting for a prompt. Those are product claims, not independently demonstrated results. The launch materials and reporting reviewed do not provide benchmarks, accuracy tests or adoption figures for the described tasks. Their practical value depends on whether they work reliably beyond company examples.

Agent-to-agent communication, including agents negotiating during meetings, is not part of the announced launch feature set. Mistlabs says it plans to add that capability in the coming months.
What does the $26 million round establish?
Mistlabs’ announcement and SiliconANGLE’s report put the Pre-A round at $26 million and name Luminous Ventures and Huaqin as lead investors. The available reports do not independently confirm the transaction details. Mistlabs says the money will support development of a standalone wearable, not that the round reflects customer adoption or proves Ambi’s performance.
SiliconANGLE reported that the wearable is still in development and that people interested in it can join a waitlist. Mistlabs has not announced a price, final specifications or a delivery date in the launch materials. The funding announcement gives a planned use for the money, but does not establish whether the device will succeed.
The product’s next test is whether its meeting Routines and cross-device follow-through work outside the company’s examples. The wearable remains a separate development project, while agent-to-agent negotiation is a capability Mistlabs says it plans for the coming months.
