Enterprise-grade AI Agents that automate human work

About

I'm Patrick. Aster is our small team building AI Agents for enterprises and developing agent-based products. Previously I was co-founder and CTO of an AI agent company. Please reach out if you'd like to chat.

What We Think

AI Agents can do work for you, if you let them. They are fully capable of:

Extracting structured data from unstructured sources, like emails, documents, and websites

Querying and interpreting data to automate workflows like report generation or process auditing

Supporting and upskilling your team and customers with personalized AI guidance on how to use your product

These types of agents will collaborate with each other, handle failures intelligently, and reason independently. They are built on top of foundational LLM models like gpt-4o or claude-3.5-sonnet. The model provides the "brain" for the agent, and its tools provide an interface to take actions (like running a query or sending an email).

Most people aren't making AI Agents this way yet... Instead of letting the agent reason independently, they are building DAGs, chains, or graphs of prompts that are executed sequentially. We refer to these as chatbots. They can be useful for certain types of tasks, but their upside is limited.
