The General Intelligence Company, an applied AI lab working to fully automate business operations, recently announced an $8.7 million seed funding round led by Union Square Ventures. The company aims to develop its AI solution Cofounder from an assistant into a full-stack agent company platform.

The company is working toward demonstrating a software company entirely run by agents by 2026. The General Intelligence Company’s goal is to make it possible for anyone to start a company using natural language. Cofounder integrates with a customer’s existing tools and can write automations and organize workflows, enabling its specialized agents to automate business operations in the customer’s stead. 

Cofounder has automated over 59,000 tasks to date, according to the company’s website, and its agents process more than 18 billion tokens each month. With solutions for running teams such as engineering, sales, customer support and operations with agents, The General Intelligence Company strives to build the infrastructure for a one-person billion-dollar company.
