Come join us at Sola to help us help ai do useful work Models are smart enough to win IMO but there's tons of architecting we've had to do (and always room for improvement) to get them to effectively complete 1hr+ computer tasks collaboratively with each other + human teammates

@SolaAI_ @a16z @conviction @ycombinator An operator only needs to record themselves walking through their work, and within minutes, they have a bot trained and ready to run. Sola bots become integral digital employees, learning about idiosyncrasies entirely by themselves, collaborating together on complex operations,

@SolaAI_ @a16z @conviction @ycombinator Sola makes AI-native automation feel effortless. Our agentic approach brings our vision to life, delivering thousands of hours of complex work each day for Fortune 100s, AmLaw 100s, and billion-dollar leaders in healthcare and logistics.
