Artificial intelligence has the ability to convert how people work, but obtaining a concrete value of artificial intelligence is not as easy as to throw any Amnesty International application in any workflow. It may be difficult for institutions to know the artificial intelligence applications that help their business and which is just noise. Workhelix wants to solve this problem.
the job It is an emerging service company that supports technology works with companies to better understand and monitor artificial intelligence automation in its companies. Workhelix destroys the company’s employee’s jobs into specific jobs and functions and degrees of each task for their suitability to adopt artificial intelligence. This helps companies build road maps of how to adopt artificial intelligence and gives institutions a way to monitor whether the artificial intelligence they adopt work.
Participant founder and CEO James Milin told Techcrunch that many companies are wrong to adopt artificial intelligence because they are looking to apply AI to complete sections of their business, which is very wide to find value.
“This is not a systematic and strict way to adopt the gym artificial intelligence and is part of the reason that people are very disappointed,” Milin said. “But if you look at all jobs in the institution and divide it into packages of tasks, then you record every task to accelerate its suitability through the intrusive intelligence, you can now reach a strict method of really quantity to adopt it.”
The Workhelix methodology of breaking the roles to tasks depends on years of researching the relationship between technology and productivity by Erik Brynjolfsson (in the above image), and the director of the Stanford Digital Economy Laboratory and one of the founders of Workhelix.
“In the case of a lot of our work, there is a long story of tasks that machines do not actually help,” said Bringgluhson. “You need to share humans. Then there are other tasks where the machines are very useful. Every project we look at, there are some of these.”
Brynjolfsson Techcrunch told him that he is looking for this gap between technology and productivity for more than a decade. Before Workhelix, Brynjolfsson was participating in this research and methodology through the published papers or through vehicles speaking in the rooms of the Board of Directors, but he realized that if they added the software component, they can reach more companies.

The company launched its product in April 2024 and witnessed a strong request from institutional customers including Acceneture, Wayfair and Coursera, among others. Melin said that the first ten agents of the institutions in Workhelix came across the door without paid ads.
“This is something that they really find,” said Bringgloffson. “They haven’t seen anything like that before. There are consultants there, but they do not have these types of tools. We fill a huge gap. I think the biggest gap is on the market.”
The company recently raised a $ 15 million tour led by AIX Ventures with the participation of the Andrew NG’s AI and Accenture Ventures and Bloomberg Beta Fund, among other VCS. He also received funding from a number of owners investors, including the founder of LinkedIn, Red Hoffman, founder of Openai, Mira Moratti, Jeff Dean, the chief scientist at Google DeepMind and Google Research, among others.
Sean Johnson, the founding partner at AIX Ventures, told Techcrunch that he got acquainted with the company through the work of Brynjolfsson in Stanford,; One of AIX Ventures Investing, Christopher Manning, is the director of the AI Laboratory in Stanford. Johnson said he understood that the pain point he was trying to solve immediately.
Johnson said: “Eric, Andy and Daniel enjoy amazingly to Fortune 500 C-SUITE and reach customers,” Johnson said. “It is the suitability of the extremist founder and their approach is the founder of the extremist founder. It causes us the desire to dive.”
Workhelix plans to put its recent capital to expand the number of tasks and the main performance indicators of its software paths. It will also continue to build the internal tools for data scientists who directly help institutional customers along with the Workhelix product.
In today’s market, it is obsessed to move quickly and automate, it is interesting that the Workhelix business model is not just a program but also includes a human element as well. The company stands to this approach, although this makes it difficult to expand. This is because the company will not be effective if it is just another software platform.
“I think there is a trillion dollar chance here to create a value,” said Bringgloffson. “Not that we will pick up everything, or even most, but we want to open it. James said earlier, this is the largest technological revolution that has ever occurred and a very few people think about opening the commercial side of it.”
