Elevator Pitch

80% of workers don't sit at a desk, and field software hasn't changed in 20 years. Build the operating system that dispatches, manages and measures AI agents, robots and humans together.

Get involved

Full Description

In construction, maintenance and fleet operations, software still mostly dispatches people, tracks them, manages assets and bills customers.

What's changing: There are now three kinds of workers: AI agents that quote and schedule work, robots deployed in the field, and humans recording their work with wearables. Today's systems weren't built to manage all three.

Open questions: How do you route a job between an agent, a robot and a person? What does safety look like side by side? How do you measure reliability? These industries spend 10–100x more on labor than software, and the new OS captures end-to-end data no one else has.
