About Cello
Cello is wrapping its referral platform in AI assistants — for growth managers, referrers, and now AI coding tools via MCP.
Cello has been shipping every week, layering in three parallel AI surfaces: an in-portal Assistant for growth managers, AI-powered sharing-message suggestions for referrers, and a brand-new MCP Server that lets developers' AI tools introspect, validate, and recommend changes to a Cello account. Around those, the team is hardening the developer experience (Event Feed for integration debugging, Flutter SDK in beta) and polishing the referrer widget (dark mode, dual-offer layouts, micro-loop reminders).
