While the rest of tech’s been busy trying to replace American workers, our AI platform has created 685,835 real work opportunities to real human beings. Our product learns from every interview and every shift, connecting workers to better opportunities at the essential businesses that keep our country running. Here’s how we’re doing it👇

Everything you touched today arrived through the global supply chain: the coffee at your cafe, the iPhone in your hand, the box on your porch. None of it got there by magic. It got there because somewhere in middle America, a warehouse supervisor is closing gaps by hand — before the day goes sideways. Software drove the cost of information toward zero. The physical world never got that treatment. The part of the economy everyone actually depends on is the part software never reached. We've spent five years inside it. What the physical economy needs is a brain above the operation. We're building it. We call it Neo.

Software engineers are going through an ego death. (good thing, btw — the ones who can't cross over are NGMI.) AI ate the part of the job most of us built our identity on: writing code.

1,000,000 completed shifts on Traba. 🚀 First 500k: 4+ years. Next 500k: under one. Every shift is a hardworking American earning above-market pay, and a business getting the labor it needs. We're just getting started.

Everyone said temp staffing was a terrible business. Low margin, no tech, unglamorous. 5 years later we’re the fastest-growing industrial staffing product in the country, and it’s why we built something no AI company can copy. Running labor inside the country’s biggest warehouses taught us how they actually break. So we built Neo to catch problems upstream. Early partners: 8+ hrs/week reclaimed per leader, 15% more site profitability, 90%+ fewer admin errors. Neo connects the systems that don’t talk to each other, spots the problem before it hits the floor, and acts on it...post-shipment exceptions resolved with zero human touch. Not a dashboard. An agent that runs the work while your team gets ahead of it. See what Neo can do–check out our case study with @ShipSmarter in the comments

A few weeks ago we gave every employee @Traba_Work — ops, sales, recruiting, finance — access to @claudeai Code connected to our dbs, design files, knowledge bases, sales pipelines, etc. 100+ people. Zero engineers. They built more in weeks than had shipped the previous year:

This is one of the most underrated observations in tech right now. if AI commoditizes software, what's actually safe? - regulated and liability-bearing businesses (someone has to be on the hook) - anything touching the physical world (hardware, manufacturing, energy) - proprietary data sets (AI makes your data more valuable, not less) - marketplaces and businesses with network effects (liquidity > software) - operationally intense businesses (the "bad" businesses become the best ones) - cybersecurity and physical security (more AI = more attack surface)
For 50 yrs we treated the supremacy of asset-light businesses as a permanent economic law But if AI commoditizes asset-light businesses, we’d just be reverting to the historical mean where value accrued to atoms, infrastructure, energy It would be a 50 year blip. An anomaly

The future belongs to people with the courage to commit to one thing. To go all in. The world is filled with the half-finished dreams of people who were too afraid to truly commit. Half in is actually all out. Even 90% gets you nowhere. There’s a magic in that last 10%.

Most people confuse "comfort" with "happiness," so they spend their lives optimizing for the absence of friction while wondering why they feel so profoundly empty.

Still think about this Peter Thiel quote “Strategy is just euphemism for procrastination” Great reminder that the best strategy is simply to execute. Nothing else comes close

Building in applied AI requires new technical approaches and fast iteration cycles to deliver value. To build Scout, our conversational AI recruiting agent, we implemented a multi-agent architecture to address context overload, a platform for flexible assessments based on client needs, and a framework for managing custom datasets and prompt testing to enable us to reliably test prompt changes in minutes rather than hours. To date, we’ve conducted over 250,000 AI led interviews, at a fraction of the cost of human operators. Additionally, AI vetted workers are 15% more likely to successfully complete their shifts when compared to human vetted workers. Huge props to our amazing engineering & product team for working tirelessly to deliver this incredible product, and thanks to @elevenlabs for the partnership in pushing the boundaries of voice AI! Check out the inside look on how our engineering team built Scout below 👇
One of the biggest innovations in industrial staffing is finally here. Meet Scout: Traba's conversational AI recruiting agent. With Scout, we can interview and vet workers at scale so our customers don't have to lift a finger. Traba's engineering team just shared how they built it👇 traba.work/company/engineeri…

Last week, the team had some fun testing out robotics in the office 🤖 At @Traba_Work , we build and use cutting edge technology to help our customers operate at peak efficiency, leveraging AI and automation to supercharge performance. This one was running because he was late to his shift… let’s just say he won’t be making today’s roster. 😆

@Traba_Work is probably one of the best kept secrets in terms of PMF, initial growth, and quality of early team. Probably 1-2 years away from everyone talking about them as the next great overnight success.
