Y startup on the back of a combiner y Firefighter is back in search of employees of AI agents. As we pointed out in February, his first attempt did not give hire an AI that is worth it.
But it is now placed three new advertising Within the employment of YC for “AI agents only” and set aside a total budget of $ 1 million to get there.
In approximately a week after the online job posts online, he had around 50 candidates, the founder Caleb Peffer told Techcrunch.
Firefighter Offers a web ramp tool that scratches websites for LLM. It is, admits Peffer, a ladle part of the AI ecosystem where compatible web dresses that behave can sometimes beat websites such as DDOS attacks. But Firewcrawl gained popularity by trying to bring railing, he said.
For example, many of its customers are companies scratching their own data for internal LLM use. Some websites want their data to be included in the chatbot responses, just as they want Google links, he said. In addition, the tool honors robot.txt parameters and can be defined to scratch a public website only and share the data with others.
Consequently, a job opening concerns a content creation agent “who never sleeps and who always ships” which will independently produce blog articles and high -quality tutorials “on how to use his product, says the startup announcement. Firecrawl wants this AI to watch the commitment measures and use it to autonomously improve the public of its content.
In other words: the agent must decide what to create, create it, publish it, measure the public and develop mastery of these comments, independently. If you are an act AI limit designed for blogs, it could be work for you. The salary announced is $ 5,000 per month.
The company also searches for a customer support engineer agent who will be responsible for making the workflow of the AI that responds to customer problems within two minutes and can manage tickets alone, knowing how to degenerate a human. Previous experience with customer support is requested. Remuneration is also $ 5,000 / month.
The third opening concerns a junior developer agent who will be responsible for prioritizing incoming github problems, writing documentation and writing code in Typecript and Go. Again, the salary also $ 5,000 / month.
But here is the catch: Firecrawl also hopes to hire human creators behind these robots – and the budget of a million dollars is for the hiring of agents and humans, although it is not clear how many years the budget is supposed to cover. The startup can hire humans full -time or as entrepreneurs (which could make more sense if they create many agents for many companies). Firecrawl is also entertaining offers from other startups specializing in the creation of types of agents he is looking for, for example in customer service, says Peffer.
The truth is that the Firecrawl dreams of the dreams of dreams do not yet exist. Maybe it will never be.
“AI cannot replace humans today,” says Peffer. “The future, what we see, is a world where the next 10x engineers exploit army of agents, AI systems they build, maintain and monitor. What we want to do is work with people who want to be these agent operators.”
Firecrawl is not the only one. The YC employment council is full of jobs for agent developers. Will their creations ever replace them as Silicon Valley continuously wished? This is the real question of a million dollars.
