Emergent, the San Francisco-based vibe coding platform co-founded by Indian-origin twin brothers Mukund Jha and Madhav Jha, has launched Wingman — an autonomous AI agent designed to handle the repetitive, time-consuming work that buries most professionals.
Wingman runs across the tools people already use — Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, GitHub, WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage — and connects to them through a simple sign-in. There is no developer setup, no complex permissions, and no onboarding overhead. Users can deploy multiple agents simultaneously, each assigned to a different function: schedule management, social media, sales, research, or hiring.
What sets Wingman apart from other autonomous agents, Emergent says, is how it handles the line between action and approval. Low-stakes tasks execute automatically. Before taking anything consequential — sending a message to a large group, modifying important data — Wingman pauses and asks the user first. The agent retains memory across sessions, adapts to user preferences over time, and can be tuned for tone and personality.
“Most people aren’t failing at productivity. They’re buried under the smaller tasks that never stop coming,” said Mukund Jha, co-founder and CEO of Emergent. “Wingman applies that same principle to autonomous agents. Now, anyone can have an always-on team working in the background, not just people who know how to build one.”
The product is an extension of Emergent’s core thesis: powerful technology should be accessible to everyone, not just those with technical backgrounds. The platform has already enabled more than eight million founders and business owners across 190+ countries to build and ship production-ready software through natural language alone.
Emergent closed a $70 million Series B round in January 2026 led by Khosla Ventures and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with participation from Lightspeed, Prosus, Y Combinator, Together, and Google’s AI Futures Fund — tripling the company’s valuation to $300 million. Prior to Emergent, Mukund Jha co-founded the now-defunct delivery app Dunzo.
