What Collato was

Collato began as a collaboration workspace for creative and product teams, then evolved into an AI assistant that searched company knowledge and drafted product documents.

Its final product direction focused on meeting capture. Users could invite Collato to a Google Meet, record in-person audio, add screenshots or handwritten notes, and turn the combined material into a document using a template.
