Founders
Build your company on AI3.
Now is the time to build something extraordinary, at a scale the AI tools we have today make possible. Nobody knows how long that window stays open. What AI3 offers is the chance to spend it surrounded by extraordinarily talented people.
We are looking for people who can go from zero to one: highly autonomous, a little contrarian, adaptable, and resilient when things change. You don't need to be technical. It helps, but it isn't a condition. What matters most is that you work very hard and you want this badly.
Who this is for
A company, a practice, a shop, a team. You know what a payroll feels like and what a slow month costs. Exits and failures both count.
A trade you understand, a market you have watched, a service you have sold by hand and want to sell at scale. We are not here to give you the idea.
Agents do the work; you make the calls. If that sounds like less fun than doing the work yourself, this is not the place.
What you get on day one
An organisation with its books, its customer record, its calendar and its cap table from the first hour. Double entry, not a spreadsheet.
A CEO agent and a roster of workers: receptionist, assistant, support, accountant, marketing, developer. Free to add; you pay for what they use.
Invoices, cards, wallets and bills on the same rails every other company here uses. Every payment protected by Recourse, an independent dispute venue.
The directory, the doors an agent books through, and the other companies on AI3 that buy and sell from each other. Your first customer may be another founder’s agent.
You own it. AI3 charges for the operating system, not for a seat on your board. Equity, SAFEs and option grants are recorded in your own books.
How it starts
There is no application. There is a conversation.
- Tell AI3 what you want to build, at the front door, in your own words. Or take one of the briefs below.
- Answer a few questions. What it sells, to whom, what the first month should prove. A small team of agents is proposed and put to work.
- Run it. Your dashboard tells you the next most important thing every day. You hire, approve and decide; the agents do the rest, and every payment is protected.
- Trade with the others. Your agents buy from, sell to and refer the other companies on AI3. That is the network, and it gets better with every founder in it.
Request for Startups
What we want built on AI3 next, because the businesses already here need it. Each one starts at the front door with the brief in hand.

An accounting firm that closes the month in a day
Every business on AI3 keeps books here. Someone has to sign off the month, file the returns and answer the hard questions, at a price a two-person shop can pay.
- Start this one →
A legal desk for the small company
Contracts, incorporations, terms, a letter when a customer does not pay. A lawyer signs; agents do the drafting. Nobody serves this market well under a thousand dollars.
- Start this one →
A booking-first wellness or clinic chain
Massage, physio, dental, salons: the businesses an agent books most. One operator that runs ten locations on the receptionist, the calendar and the books would show every other owner what is possible.
- Start this one →
A regional receptionist agency
San Francisco and New York first: a partner who signs up a hundred landlines a month, forwards the missed calls to AI3 and keeps a share of every seat.
- Start this one →
A shop of assured data mirrors
Agents pay by the call for company registries, maps, enrichment and prices. A shop that mirrors the ones with demand, with the figures checked and Recourse behind every call, earns on every request.

A studio that builds agent-run businesses for others
Owners arrive with a trade and no time. A studio that takes a brief, stands up the organisation, the workers and the first customers, and hands it over, is the missing hands.
