Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents.

We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination.

While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy.

So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code.

When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective.

In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four.

Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

The first time I heard @markiewagner discuss this idea we were sitting around a campfire at something like 2am just months before the public launch of ChatGPT.

Watching her pursue her Good Quest and level-up as a hero Paladin on this mission has been incredibly fun. She's become not only one of my favorite founders, but also one of my favorite people and friend.

Congrats on the launch today, Markie! 🚀

@beffjezos Cells, functions, companies, countries - everywhere we look, life is run on instructions

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

In November 2022, @markiewagner wrote Choose Good Quests, then she went dark to work on her own.

Today, she's launching Poetic, a new class of software that's adaptive like AI, reliable like code.

This is her first public essay since CGQ, on why & how.

@kevinhartz Thank you for being there from day zero - family dinners at the Hartz residence kept me sane

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

Agents should do the thinking, code should do the doing.

[Markie Wagner @markiewagner]

@LM_Braswell @packyM The cure for consumption! Self-healing code > agents

[Markie Wagner @markiewagner]

@packyM This is endgame. AI will be used less and less at runtime.

Everything that can be converted to code, will be.

Leigh Marie has been fighting by our side years before the company was even started.

5 years ago, we started talking about the idea that would eventually become Poetic. LMB's original blog post here on it as a relic of the past:

Over and over, she has done impossible things to set us up to win.

[Mamoon Hamid @mamoonha]

At a moment when companies are starting to question whether AI token spend is worth it, @PoeticHQ is already offering the solution. Near-tokenless agents, 99%+ accurate on the workflows that actually run large companies - deployed at the world's leading banks and insurance agencies. Customers include SoFi, Chime, and AIG. Thrilled to partner with @markiewagner and this small, but mighty team.

[Gaby Goldberg @gaby_goldberg]

Markie and team are legends. Thrilled to see @PoeticHQ out in the world.
