I was reading the TDs.
I expected something big was happening on the layoff front.
It was still a surprise.
At 2 a.m., I got that email.
At 4.30 a.m., I founded my company.
And I got going and there was certainly sadness and there was a lot of change.
But I distracted myself in building this company and started helping other people right away.
And that's how we got started in 2023.
And then now we are entering the fourth year of operations we've done.
Quite well, we've come a long way.
The overall mission has still been the same, which is for anybody who is in that field,
Point A, wanting to go to point B. Either somebody who's existing, who's working currently, who's not moving up, who's feeling frustrated with their current job, or somebody who doesn't have employment, who wants to move into another job.
Anyone who's making that transition, we want to be that solution to help you do that.
So, you know, when I was at Google, I already had been working with data analytics AI for several years before ChatGPD had come out.
I was quite already engaged in the direction in which
Things were going, architecture was going, infrastructure was going.
And so ChatGPT when it came was a little bit of a surprise, but I had seen ChatGPT at Google in the past with the primitive versions of Gemini.
And the MVP I knew was going to be a combination of humans and AI into an agentic workflow that could do much better than any individual could in the work that's required to go from that point A to point B. So when 2022 and ChatGPT came, 2023 early days, I just learning from my own experience in the past with
other things that I've seen, including cloud infrastructure, the tech stack often changes quite a bit when a new disruptive innovation comes out.
Therefore, I decided to lean more on the human agentic workflows and combine that with a little bit of AI to form an MVP that was doing some of the basic tasks required from going to point A to point B. We picked up, for example, doing job applications or building resumes.
