I was interested in building a product for which 1. the agent is the whole product, not just a component of it; and 2. solves a specific problem out of the box.
Tavi is a deep people search agent that lives in Slack. We used it to find our founding engineer and our first customers are a mix startups, recruiters and VCs.
While we are focused specifically on technical roles in AI startups, and we don't "verify" per se, we do enrich jobs data with investor-grade intelligence on the startups themselves, so you can see which companies have legitimate backing.
The project has been a huge learning curve for me - I started out as a skeptic of how generative AI could solve real problems (rather than just create noise) but now think that, like the internet, it can create a new kind of abundance that will be harnessable in all sorts of interesting ways.
