About

Astro was an AI-powered email and messaging productivity application founded in 2015 by Andy Pflaum, Roland Schemers, and Ross Dargahi — the same trio who co-founded Zimbra, the open-source collaboration platform. Astro built an intelligent email client featuring Astrobot, an AI assistant that helped users manage their inbox, prioritize messages, and integrate with messaging tools including Slack. The product was available across mobile and desktop and aimed to bridge email and modern team messaging workflows. Astro raised $8.3 million in funding before being acquired by Slack in September 2018. Following the acquisition, Slack shut down the Astro app and integrated the team's capabilities into its platform. The company had been headquartered in San Francisco, California.
