building ai that hires with you, not for you.

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

where’s the next one? @TaviNeverSleeps wants more!

[Tom Robbins @RobbinsTom4867]

We saturated a benchmark 💅

Résumés are boring.

Win a couple of high profile hackathons and change your profile pic to this and you’ll be hired within minutes.

VC: You sure of the product?

Me: Look at him, that's my founding engineer... Look at his eyes, I'll give you a hint, his name is @savboj. He's won major hackathons back to back - @GoogleDeepMind, @cursor_ai, .... Yeah I'm sure of the product.

Today @usemonk is announcing our $25M Series A co-led by @footworkvc and @AcrewCapital with continued support from @btv_vc.

$3T sits in U.S. accounts receivable. Our mission is to close the gap between earning revenue and receiving it.

For most B2B companies, that gap is 45-90 days, thousands of hours of manual work per year, and millions in trapped working capital. It's a tax every growing business pays.

Monk invented the Intelligent Collections category.

Most AR tools automate the easy parts. We built for the edge cases, portal uploads, PO mismatches, and disputes.

On average, customers see 40% lower DSO, 24% higher collections response rate and 25+ hours/month saved.

Thank you to @ElevenLabs, @tryprofound, @siro_app, and our customers for the trust.

Our platform typically pays for itself in month one.

Ok, fine. We're in a bubble.

So much fun building this! 🫶🏻

What I've been working on:

I'm building https://t.co/nTlOhncGYs with cofounders @VictorSunden and Moh and founding engineer @savboj

Tavi is our vision of what the future of building teams looks like, but at it's core the idea is very simple: it's an AI agent that searches for candidates for you and sends you the results in your company Slack.

But there's a bit more to it than that.

Tavi is a fully-fledged @openclaw instance that sets itself up in under 3 clicks (we've counted) and in under 60 seconds. It runs on its own dedicated compute instance, and uses only frontier AI models (currently GPT-5.4). We handle all the billing integrations so it's literally zero-config.

There's a good reason why we built it like this, as opposed to a simple chatbot, and it's because deep research tasks, like searching for hires, works best when you can marshal your whole company context, and have long-horizon memory over what does and doesn't work. We also realised that for small teams, hiring is a collaborative process. When you make a new hire, that person immediately becomes head of talent as you mine their network. So we built Tavi with that in mind from the start.

What does this mean in practice? It means:

- Metered billing. No per-seat pricing. The whole team gets to use Tavi from day 1, and we don't bill you when you're not using it;
- Searches while you sleep. Tavi can do long-running deep searches and post candidates to slack drip-by-drip. If you don't like the results, just tell Tavi and it will adjust its approach;
- Beyond LinkedIn. Tavi can enrich LinkedIn profiles with data from Github and personal websites, but it can also search our custom-built knowledge bases of special talent pools like hackathon winners, published AI researchers, and more;
- Collaborative recruiting. Tavi can draft outreach and ping the appropriate member of your team to send the message. It's a great way to cut through the usual recruiter spam.

Most of all, I'm incredibly excited about what the future will bring. Tavi is built on top of the bleeding edge of agentic harnesses but refined and crafted with enormous care and attention to detail to make sure that it does one thing extremely well: building your team.

Right now, Tavi is free to try - no credit cards needed, all the LLM costs covered by us.

(P.S. Tavi has its own X account @TaviNeverSleeps, I'm sure it would appreciate a follow)

"No recent funding" used to be a distress signal among startups. Now it's a signal of strength even at early stages.

@GavinSBaker wouldn’t have guessed that energy efficiency would be a main USP of humans

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

Be careful out there! good reminder :)

[Tom Robbins @RobbinsTom4867]

At @TeemingAI, we use OpenClaw to handle our recruiting business, but it can't #YOLO all our emails into /dev/null - here's our security setup:

- It can send/receive emails from its own mailbox but ONLY to other https://t.co/GlAtnFwA5x team members (enforced at Google Workspace permission level)
- It has read-only access to team member emails using its own limited IAM role, and every use of it gets logged to a company-wide slack channel for audibility
- I can remote desktop into the Mac Mini at any time and shut the whole thing down

Hey @Meta, happy to provide free security consulting!

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

My AI agent, achieving a level of candid self-awareness no human middle manager has ever reached. totally shameless.

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

this is now my #1 stress driver building a new startup

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

@steipete @openclaw desperately trying to make our openclaw bot do more pranks. I sense an opportunity here!

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

this shouldn't be as funny as it is

[Tom Robbins @RobbinsTom4867]

I automated the last manual part of my dev workflow: an OpenClaw agent on a cron job that runs on the 1st of each month, scrapes X for sentiment around the latest Claude and GPT releases, weighs it against benchmark deltas, and then hits the Anthropic/OpenAI billing APIs to toggle my subscription between Claude Code and Codex

@alexwg ”The economy is reformatting itself for continuous operation.” 💯

Sounds like a lot of GDP growth and generally much better asset utilization

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

Not sure about this trend but it seems to be a trend. Why?

[Victor Sunden @VictorSunden]

HOT TAKE: Abolish employment taxes on entry-level knowledge work!

You don’t pay payroll tax or social security on an AI Agent.

Taxing humans while AI runs tax-free is a subsidy for automation. Won't stop the shift but may extend the time for the next generation to adjust.

@jackclarkSF The agent-to-agent economy will be massive
