Consulting hasn’t evolved much in decades. Yet it is still slow, expensive, and built on partial visibility. AI finally makes a new model possible. At Foaster.ai, our agents interview employees at scale, reconstruct a detailed map of how the company actually works, and reason on top of it to generate recommendations. Unlike traditional consulting, which usually relies on a limited set of interviews and an incomplete view of operations, this lets us tackle much more complex problems with far greater precision. Human experts stay in the loop to validate the output, challenge the reasoning when needed, deliver the final recommendations, and improve the system over time. We can already work with companies today on: • Process mapping: map operations you have never fully understood, yet that are critical to the business • AI roadmap design: identify at scale where AI could have the highest impact across your organization • Cost reduction: surface inefficiencies buried across workflows, teams, and day-to-day operations What used to take weeks or months can now be explored in a few days, with much greater visibility into how the company actually works. And once that operational map exists, we can solve more and more business problems on top of the same foundation without starting from scratch.

Ritivel is an AI-native workspace for regulatory and medical writing teams at life sciences companies. Our AI agents draft CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs in minutes instead of weeks, helping drugs reach patients faster. Every month a drug is delayed from reaching the market costs pharma companies ~$45M in lost revenue and more importantly, delays treatment for thousands of patients who need it. Yet regulatory teams are stuck in a painful, months-long process: synthesizing thousands of pages of clinical data, hunting through SharePoint folders for the right documents, chasing colleagues for missing inputs, and manually drafting submissions. Ritivel deploys AI agents that transform how regulatory teams work. Our agents generate comprehensive first drafts directly in Microsoft Word, following FDA formatting requirements and pulling from your existing clinical data and prior submissions. Every data point includes citations linked back to the original source, so reviewers can verify with one click. Connected to SharePoint and Veeva, our agents automatically source the right documents. Integrated with Outlook, they handle reminder emails and follow-ups automatically. We're engineers who previously built AI copilots at Microsoft Research. After 50+ conversations with pharma professionals, we discovered the critical bottleneck in regulatory submissions and built Ritivel to solve it.

Human-assisted development should be for novel ideation, not routine maintenance, bug fixes or incremental updates.

Cyberdesk is the first self learning computer use agent for developers to automate desktop workflows. For example, one of our customers is building an AI agent for hospital patient intake, and they’re using us to automate an entire team of people manually clicking and typing into a desktop app to book appointments. We launched mid July, and our agent is already operating in production environments, creating appointments in electronic health record apps and processing files in legacy ERPs. We’ve built the first computer use agent that memorizes tasks and repeats them quickly while still adapting to unexpected changes on the screen. A good analogy is to how humans use computers: once we get used to an app, we use it much faster, while still adapting to random popups and crashes. This new paradigm for computer use will be needed by every company automating human workflows on computers. Mahmoud previously built robotic process automation solutions impacting 20K+ employees at a Fortune 100 company. He also built AI & ML solutions at Baylor College of Medicine Neuroscience & Texas Children's Hospital + co-published a paper at the Rice Networks Group. Alan is ex-NASA and previously dropped out to be the first founding engineer at a PearX startup. He is a second time founder, having previously built and scaled a consumer AI app to thousands of paying users. Computer-use agents will automate the $6T dollars spent on enterprise knowledge work and Cyberdesk will be the platform to power this. We’d love to talk with you! https://cal.com/mahmoud-al-madi-klrs5s/30min

Rimba integrates fragmented data — PDFs, Excel files, time-series, IoT sensors, equipment telemetry, and system performance data — to complete a workflow, such as populating a database, running analytics, and creating a report. Our software streamlines the entire journey from data capture to report creation for the physical world, starting with heavy industries such as renewables, oil & gas, supply chain, and chemicals. Legacy systems don't communicate, and critical operational data remains siloed. Rimba bridges that gap by connecting data from fragmented systems and structures — ERPs, SCADA, SharePoint, email, and more — to automate workflows, classify inputs, transform data, and improve data monitoring.
