{"id":100799,"title":"Foaster - AI agents that drive your AI transformation","tagline":"The AI-native consulting firm for AI transformation. ","body":"Hey 👋 We’re Raphaël and Alexandre, co-founders of [Foaster](https://foaster.ai).\n\n# \n\n# **TL;DR**\n\nOur agents run **AI-led interviews** **across your entire company** to map how work actually happens, identify the **highest-impact AI opportunities** in just a few days, and support execution through **adoption tracking, personalized upskilling, and expert guidance.**\n\nBook a demo [here](https://foaster.cal.com/raphael.dabadie/30min).\n\n# \n\n# **❌ The Problem**\n\nMost companies confuse AI adoption with AI transformation.\n\n**AI adoption** is giving employees better tools: ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, internal assistants.\n\nThat can make individuals faster. But the company itself often stays the same: same workflows, same meetings, same approval chains, same bottlenecks.\n\n**AI transformation** is different. It means redesigning how work happens around what AI now makes possible.\n\nThe problem is that this transformation is broad, fast-moving, and continuous. It touches **every function, every workflow, and every role**, while tools and capabilities keep evolving.\n\n**Traditional methods cannot keep up.** Workshops, consulting projects, and static roadmaps are too slow, too generic, and too disconnected from day-to-day operations.\n\n# **✅ The Solution**\n\nFoaster combines AI agents and human experts to help companies make AI transformation scalable, continuous, and personalized.\n\n### 1. Mapping the company\n\nWe run **30 to 45-minute AI-led interviews** across the organization.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=100799\u0026key=user_uploads/3198551/2ee984d6-7f59-4b8a-9541-fc5ee33eaaef)\n\nAgents collect **the context that usually stays trapped in people’s heads**: workflows, tools, handoffs, bottlenecks, dependencies, informal habits, and repetitive tasks.\n\nThe result is **a granular map of how the company actually works**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=100799\u0026key=user_uploads/3198551/5f0f7cd9-27f6-4558-b8b2-4e193bd13569)\n\n### 2. Turning the map into a roadmap\n\nAgents reason over that map to **identify where AI can have the highest impact**: what should be automated, redesigned, augmented, or improved first.\n\nOur **human experts review the findings**, bring business judgment, and help leadership prioritize the roadmap based on impact, feasibility, and company goals.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=100799\u0026key=user_uploads/3198551/b404941d-2f4f-41e6-a966-bfb809830afc)\n\n### 3. Keeping the transformation alive\n\nFoaster keeps the map updated over time, tracks adoption, detects where teams are stuck, and generates **personalized upskilling for each employee** based on their role, tools, workflows, and level.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=100799\u0026key=user_uploads/3198551/9791493a-e960-496a-b416-0593848b3691)\n\nAgents handle the scale, follow-up, and personalization while human experts bring judgment, expertise, change management, and implementation support when needed.\n\nThe goal: **help the whole company move in one direction while supporting every employee at individual scale.**\n\n# [**👬**](https://emojipedia.org/men-holding-hands) **The Team**\n\nWe spent the past year working as AI consultants and saw firsthand how broken the old model was.\n\nWe also did AI research and built two benchmarks that got widely shared: [The Werewolf Benchmark](https://werewolf.foaster.ai), notably shared by Greg Brockman, Clément Delangue, and Thomas Wolf, and [The Political Gap Between AIs and Citizens](https://llm-politics.foaster.ai), shared by Elon Musk and viewed over 12 million times on social media.\n\nAt the same time, we watched models get really good at knowledge work. It became obvious that AI could do a large part of what AI consultants were doing, but at much faster speed and scale.\n\n## **📣 Our Ask**\n\nWe’d love intros to enterprises or mid-market companies trying to figure out what AI transformation should look like in practice.\n\nIf you know someone leading AI transformation, AI enablement, operations, or process improvement, we’d love to talk.\n\n👉 [**raphael.dabadie@foaster.ai**](mailto:raphael.dabadie@foaster.ai)\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/bjOiN6jpABQ\u003e","slug":"QDn-foaster-ai-agents-that-drive-your-ai-transformation","created_at":"2026-05-05T21:16:50.290Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T06:11:51.724Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QDn-foaster-ai-agents-that-drive-your-ai-transformation","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=100799\u0026key=user_uploads/3198551/5f0f7cd9-27f6-4558-b8b2-4e193bd13569","company":{"id":31488,"name":"Foaster","slug":"foaster","url":"https://foaster.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cdcff33c87fe29fc884e55a8d2475dd3ed741f53.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["B2B","Enterprise Software","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31488"}}
