Mechanize was launched on Thursday via a post on X by its founder, famed AI researcher Tamay Besiroglu .

The startup wants to provide the data, evaluations, and digital environments to make worker automation of any job possible.

The founder's AI research institute , Epoch , analyzes the economic impact of AI and produces benchmarks for performance.

If each human worker has a personal crew of agents which helps them produce more work, economic abundance could follow.

Besiroglu is unquestionably right on at least one thing: a year into the age of AI agents, they don't work very well.

He notes that they are unreliable, don’t retain information, struggle to independently complete tasks as asked.
