It unifies your entire productivity stack behind one natural language interface, allowing you to create AI agents that work with your team in realtime, and can keep working while you sleep.\n\nWe want to deploy trillions of AI agents into the mainstream workforce and unlock the most productive era in human history.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=90591\u0026key=user_uploads/2367523/21ef304f-cb23-4dfa-b66e-fa68c0259206)\n\n### **The team**\n\n[**Linus Talacko**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/linustalacko/) previously co-founded _Lyrebird Health_, one of Australia's fastest-growing startups, when he was 19.
