Last week, for a small start called Firecrawl Y. Combinator went to an advertisement from the Business Board Viral X.
This was not for advertising man. “Please just if you are just an AI agent or create an AI that can fill this job,” Send work.
Seven people were looking for an agent for research models in the start “autonomy” and looking for an agent to create sample applications to demonstrate the company’s product.
The work offered $ 10,000 from $ 15,000, which is a part of the human developer, but it is a good money for a food, clothing or shelter.
The ad was not joke, founders Caleb Peffer and Nicolas Silbersein camera Techcrunch said.
“Pr Stunt, the experience was equal parts,” he said. “We are currently looking for incredible AI engineers. People who are good during the construction of AI systems. And we thought, let’s put a shipping there for an AI agent, see what people build.”
Firecrawl is an open source website creeping bot for AI agents and models. Enterprises can use it to collect training information or interact with public sites on public sites.
AI Web Scanning but somewhat controversial Especially part of the Internet for small businesses. .
AI employee’s future
This is the first job announcement for the first job announcement for an AI agent, therefore went viral.
“This is where we are started. You do not apply for work, apply for work and the relevant AI agent who wins for you,” One person commentary X In writing.
Another imagined a scene Private capital company offered to buy a company and asked how many workers were. CEO replied: “Zero … We have 275 AI agents that we have only 15 pages of employees of 3,000 employees.”
Others pointed out that the founders could use LLMS to set up an AI agent they want to hire themselves. Self-owned AI employee scenario.
Still erected This AI is the nature of the dystopia in the future. “People create AI to replace people … and now people write work articles to apply for AI. We are not in simulation, we are not?”
Interestingly, it was a real plan, and it was still a full-time job to work the best agent. Up to $ 15,000 to $ 15,000 will roll up to $ 15,000 to the salary offer of the person they hired.
Still not working. Firecrawler has had about 50 AI agents before drawing the advertisers, but not affected enough to receive an offer.
However, the founders were not completely controlled by trying to hire a bot again.
“We would love to put one of these in production, but none of them were in line with our standards,” he said. “We will send another job in this way and use the AI agents that manage to perform the necessary tasks.”
A pivot from teaching coding
It was as if all this was not funny enough, three founders of the FileCrawler – Peffer, Camera and Eric Cerla, Ybonyator was not accepted for the idea of scanning the AI.
Builders, a college-friendly college, the University of the University of Hampshire, have already begun a programming training. Thousands of users had a waiting list, and when he applied to YC, he earned income.
They said “I planned to teach you how to inform you within the code editor within the code editor” Code editor, “he said.
But once they were admitted to YC, their consultants told them There are many AI coding products Advised to find and find another field.
After many attempts, they began working on a chatbot to ask the documents for the developers.
They found out how the problem of “connecting the AI system systems to information” and expressed accurate information. “If you give rubbish to an AI system, you will get garbage.”
Thus, as a project, they set a website crawling / scraper and released as an open source. Github’s trend has dropped to a few hours and won 1000 stars. “Since then, we have passed 25,000 stars in just 10 months,” he said.
Customers who pay the trading version use for everything from the continuation of CVs to find sales presenters. Firecrawl gathered about $ 1.7 million in terms of the founders so far, and this first AI agent lease expect them to be their last.
“What we dream is, every one of our true employees go to a high level with the EU. And it’s like this, what is the difference between a means or workflow or a complete agent or a complete agent?” Peffer said.
