ABOUT CONVERSANT TEAMWARE

Conversant Teamware is an Alberta-based AI startup building the next generation of enterprise messaging — multi-threaded group chat with an AI layer that understands what your team needs before they ask. Our platform is protected by five granted patents covering AI-agent-assisted commerce, visual multi-threaded messaging, and knowledge graph intelligence.

Our market is oil and gas operations: field crew coordination, incident response, and in-chat procurement — where fast, structured communication saves time and money. You'll work directly with the CTO, touch real production code early, and grow fast.
