Y Combinator Startup Firecrawl is ready to pay $ 1 million to hire three AI agents as employees

Y Combinator-fetched boot Cheat He returns to the hunting of Ai Agent officials. As we mentioned in February, his first attempt did not perform an AI Worth Hiring.

But now placed three news advertisements To the YC Work Council for the “AI Agents” and has a total budget of $ 1 million to happen.

Within a week after the end of new jobs, he had about 50 candidates, founder Caleb Peffer tells TechCrunch.

Cheat It offers a tissue detection tool that launches data from websites for LLMS. This is, admits Peffer, a shady part of the AI ​​ecosystem, where the bad behaviors of web detectors can sometimes hit websites such as DDOS attacks. But Firewcrawl has gained popularity by trying to bring some protective messages, he says.

For example, many of its customers are businesses that awaken their own data for LLM internal use. Some sites want their data included in Chatbot answers, just as they want Google links, he says. In addition, the tool honors the Robot.txt settings and can only be adjusted to scrape a public website once and share the data with others.

Consequently, an opening opening is for a content agent “that never sleeps and always conveying” producing autonomous “high quality” pleasant blog posts and tutorials on how to use its product, says starting advertising. Firecrawl wants this AI to track engagement measurements and use it to enhance the public autonomously for its content.

In other words: The agent must decide what to create, create it, publish it, measure the public and increase sovereignty of this feedback, autonomous. If you are a marginal AGI AI for blogging, that could be the job for you. The advertised fee is $ 5,000 a month.

The company is also looking for a customer support engineer who will be instructed to create the AI ​​work flow that responds to customer issues within two minutes and can handle tickets on its own, knowing when to escalate to a human being. Previous experience requested customer support. The fee is also $ 5,000/month.

The third opening is for a lower developer agent who will be instructed to prioritize GitHub incoming issues, writing documentation and code writing in Typescript and Go. Once again, the fee also $ 5,000/month.

But here is Catch: Firecrawl also hopes to hire human creators or creators behind these bots – and the $ 1 million budget is to hire both agents and people, although it is not clear how many years the budget must be covered. Starting can hire people full -time or as contractors (who may make more sense if they create many agents for many companies). Firecrawl is also fun offers from other businesses specializing in creating the types of factors he is looking for, for example in customer service, Peffer says.

The truth is that the Firecrawl AI employee does not exist yet. Maybe he’ll never do it.

“AI can’t replace man today,” Peffer says. “The future, what we see, is a world where the next 10x engineers operate troops, AI systems that build, maintain and follow.

Finecrawl is not the only one. YC’s Board Job is full of jobs for developers. Will their creations ever replace them, as Silicon Valley wants constantly? This is the real question of millions of dollars.
