Pluto (YC)

Pluto is an AI voice agent that learns your story in 10 minutes and makes you discoverable to the right people and AI agents.

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

a launch video might only last a few minutes

but behind it are days of planning, late nights, and countless takes

we shared a glimpse before launch

now here’s the full story

the way professionals get discovered is changing

this is what went into showing the world what comes next

behind the scenes of launching Pluto

your career needs an agent

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

the best professionals are more than a resume or online profille

Pluto helps professionals teach AI who they really are, so it can understand and represent them accurately

hiring is one of the first places this matters

Grant Rivas, head of operations at @antimetal, shares how Pluto helps his team understand the person behind the profile

being qualified is not enough. you need to be discoverable

[Brad Flora @bradflora]

Pluto has launched an AI voice agent that helps professionals get found by recruiters, update their LinkedIn profile and see how they show up in AI search results. It's like an AI career coach you can take anywhere you go.

Launching Pluto (YC) - an AI voice agent that helps professionals get discovered.

Pluto learns your story in 10 minutes, makes you discoverable to AI agents, and connects you with the right people.

18K+ people. 100+ companies.

Your career needs an agent.

[Christina Gilbert @ChristinaG325]

AI is now running talent searches. Pluto lets you put your best foot forward with agents

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

the only way to win is to have a small group of people who are willing to sacrifice everything

the best part of startups is building a team. extremely grateful for ours

to the gents who sacrifice everything

ep. 4 talentpluto @ YC

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

when we started building talentpluto, I didn't know if anyone would care

you build in the dark for a long time and just trust that the thing you're making matters

next week we launch. but without our first believers, who knows

so we decided to do something special for the ones that took a bet (see the BTS of the work that went into it)

ep. 3 - talentpluto @ yc

ep. 2 of talentpluto @ YC

the BTS of our launch video (coming out soon)

our last video wasn't our best work. so we called a friend at 11 pm and flew him out the next day at 6 am

we'll be documenting our journey through YC

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

today’s field trip included a pit stop at the @OpenAI office

thank you @strimblez and @alex_brussell for the invite

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

AI agents are already making judgments about you

Not someday. Right now

They summarize your career, compare you to others, and answer questions about whether you’re worth contacting

But they’re often wrong

We built Pluto Labs so you can see what AI thinks it knows about you, and start fixing your AI footprint

@sahil_seth @eric_ho @GoodfireAI you heard the man

Learnings from @ycombinator day 2:

- just keep shipping
- do it fast
- every founder here is cracked

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

Day 2 of YC

- asked @sama what data/context LLMs need to assess people’s fit for jobs
- asked @pedroh96 how he prioritizes customers and bottlenecks

need more alpha

[Sahil Seth @sahil_seth]

I was rejected by @ycombinator 9 times

I got in on my 10th attempt. there was no secret sauce

the idea is similar, but i'm walking in with traction (to the point people ask us why we are doing yc - a post for later)

we have a team, insane customers, and a clear vision of how we scale to 100B

I got lucky along the way and found people who believed in me. I almost quit 10 times but each time I reminded myself I didn't want to leave this earth with any regrets

so here I am taking my shot

p.s. - watch the video when I applied solo 2 years ago

[Pluto (YC) @talentpluto]

@TheMaxTP @ycombinator Yessir 🙌

@jaykhan @TonyXavier_ @ycombinator Thanks and see you soon!

[Sahil Gandhi @sahilggandhi]

@talentpluto is a @ycombinator company.

i didn't apply. i talked to our agent, it put me in front of the team, and i got hired by the company building the thing that matched me.

i am the use case.

one call. headhunted forever.

[Tony Xavier @TonyXavier_]
