Obra

Not software you operate. An AI employee that does the regulated busywork small businesses can't afford to hire. Local-first.

[Obra @getobra]

This is not a mockup.

Obra is a real virtual employee, built on Claude, working today for real short-stay hosts. A booking lands on a Saturday, and Obra runs the whole day: the welcome messages, the passports, the guest registrations filed with the government, the cleaning crew. It stops only for your yes on what it can't take back.

9h 26m of work. $1.09 to run.

Your team, plus one.

@elonmusk Grok just told us the same thing 👀

“I got turned down by all the top VCs.

I offered them 25% of the company for $1 million.

(*The company now has a market cap of $187 billion)

The same VCs that rejected me put a lot of money into my competitors.

That was very motivational.

So I made it my goal to put those companies out of business.”

@AnthropicAI is on another level when it comes to supporting builder's in their ecosystem.

That's also why we are commited to building on top of @claudeai

Letta gave us some cool ideas when it comes to local memory that persists across devices

Browserbase also gave us a lot of ideas when it comes to Obra interacting with the web, specially legacy portal's without an api

@charlespacker @shreypandya thank you for what you guys do 🙏

@shiftj AI deployed into boring verticals is the play of the next few years

[Obra @getobra]

@PitchProtocol Apologies for that... You have a DM in your inbox now.

[Obra @getobra]

@claudeai @antonosika @Lovable Tell us about it 😅

[Obra @getobra]

@benln Got someone. Works 24/7, onboards in 30 min, never asks for equity, already ran the morning ops before the team clocked in. Small catch: it's a something, not a someone. ( And it's been in your DMs since yesterday 👀)

[Obra @getobra]

Congrats to @Lassie on the $47M. You put AI employees inside doctors' offices.

We're building the same for short-term-rental hosts in Europe. Ours does the operational work and waits for your approval before it acts, built on @AnthropicAI's Claude.

[steijnpelle @steijnpelle]

Today, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z.

We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices.

Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month.

To get here, we first had to leave Robinhood and Superhuman to work in offices ourselves.

Here's how that went.

@AzizBuilds I guess you guys need Obra just like we do in Portugal 😅

[Obra @getobra]

@compliantvc Did I hear you say Obra?

[Obra @getobra]

Love this 🙏 Obra is the AI employee for the ~1M non-technical, regulated EU small businesses today's AI keeps skipping. Built on Claude. Human-approved, audited, runs on their own machine. Controlled pilot with EU hosts this summer, first one's already live. Outside the US is the edge. 🇵🇹

[Obra @getobra]

If you run an operation buried in regulated admin, or you just want to watch this unfold, follow along.

Your team, plus one. → https://t.co/4LM9YB87ar

[Obra @getobra]

We've published why Obra exists: two essays on a compliance gap almost no one is paying to close.

Here's where we actually are. 🧵

[Obra @getobra]

This is one host, and it's early. The capability is proven end to end. What's next is more operators, and the work that turns a working system into a business. We're building in the open.
