Hey YC 👋,
We’re Nathan & Antonio, building an AI HR manager for hourly teams. Running an hourly workforce means drowning in admin: verifying timesheets, tracking attendance, chasing down approvals. Businesses can spend up to 6 hours a week just verifying timesheets for a team of 15 employees. Nathan led the QuickBooks Payroll & Time Tracking app from unranked to #12 on the App Store and saw firsthand how fast this overhead grows. We automate the repetitive HR work — so owners and managers can focus on growing their business, not paperwork.
Problem:
Managing hourly teams is still painfully manual. Over 70% of businesses rely on paper, spreadsheets, and text chains to handle critical tasks like scheduling, time tracking, and finding shift coverage. The tools that do exist are clunky, built for desk workers, and assume a level of tech-savviness many frontline teams don’t have. Meanwhile, managers spend hours each week buried in admin — verifying timesheets, coordinating shifts, and chasing down approvals — instead of focusing on their people.
Solution:
We meet hourly teams where they are — with voice agents and the simplest possible app. Our platform automates back-office HR by handling tasks like calling workers for shifts, clocking them in automatically, ensuring breaks, flagging missed punches, and completing payroll review. No more chasing, checking, or double entry — just smooth, automated execution of the work that usually slows teams down.
Do you know any business owners who pay employees hourly? We are currently offering a 25% discount per user seat.
