TL;DR - A professional talks to Pluto for 10 minutes about what they’ve done, what they’re great at, and what they want next. Pluto makes that context discoverable to the right people and AI agents, helping them understand the person more fully. When there’s a real fit, Pluto can also make a warm introduction to a startup.

18K+ professionals have already shared their career context with Pluto. 100+ companies use Pluto to meet people with their full story, including Mercor, David AI, Rho, Warp, and Runlayer.

Ask: Talk to Pluto and let it get to know your work. If you’re hiring, send us the role and we’ll introduce you to people with context and confirmed interest.

The problem

A resume and online profile are not enough for the AI era.

They show where someone worked and what title they had. They do not capture what the person actually did, what they are unusually good at, and what they want next.

That context usually lives in conversations. So professionals get reduced to keywords, logos, and titles, while the people and AI agents trying to understand them are left with an incomplete picture. 

Hiring makes this problem obvious. Companies miss great people because the real signal never makes it online. But as AI agents increasingly help people find, evaluate, and connect with one another, every professional will need a richer, more accurate way to be understood.

The solution

Pluto is an AI voice agent that understands a professional’s career and puts that understanding to work.

Professionals talk to Pluto for 10 minutes about their experience, strengths, goals, preferences, and what they want to keep private. Pluto asks follow-up questions, remembers the context missing from their resume, and makes them discoverable to the right people and AI agents.

Companies tell Pluto who they want to meet. Pluto searches its network and the broader market, understands fit on both sides, privately confirms interest, and makes a warm introduction when both sides want to connect. No mass applications. Professionals stay private and in control. Companies meet people who are already understood.

How It Works

  1. Talk to Pluto for 10 minutes
  2. Review what it learned and choose what to share
  3. Get found and understood by the right people and AI agents
  4. Get introduced to startups when there’s a fit

Why We Started This

The best hiring has always happened through trusted, high-context introductions. We think AI can make that possible for everyone.

Warm introductions are one way Pluto puts that understanding to work today. Long term, Pluto becomes the career context layer for the AI era - the version of a professional’s story that agents can understand, trust, and act on, while the professional stays in control.

Our Ask
