Outreach founder Manny Medina has a new startup that helps AI agents get paid

A new trend is arising as the AI ​​agent takes the year of the agent’s year: startups pick up and supply the balka that helps the employers to create a workforce of the bot.

He told TechCrunch exclusively that Pay $ 1.5 billion worth of valuable sales at the automation company’s Outreach as the founder and former CEO of Manny Medina just launched a startup.

Provided AI does not create agents. It provides a platform that makes sure they pay profitably. Given Monday announced that it collected Million 10 million (nearly $ 11 million) in pre-bees investment from European Power House Equity Venture, Sikoia and Gtmfund.

Medina came up with a dozen agents of platform startups and came up with this idea for salary. In this conversation a general allegation arises. Medina told TechCrunch, “They didn’t really know what to charge.”

The basis given is the old ways to charge for the software will not work with AI agents. Agent agencies cannot charge user or per seat, which means how many people are using software (such as the old-school Microsoft Office). The whole thing is that an employee can run a lot of agents. Or agents will be driven by themselves without any humanitarian principal.

AI agents development agencies also cannot charge software, as the latest large generation change in SAS, because if agents work properly, they are taking full role, “Medina says.

An agent’s customer does not want to pay for all the isolated work that an agent does – if it even knows all of them, he says. They want to pay for its results like a worker. So if an agent is appointed to insure and the success of the role is measured in full policy renewal, no company wants to pay for each email sent by an agent.

At the same time, the expenditures related to the supply of agents depend on how many LLM tokens are needed to perform its training and its tasks.

“So how do you help them for the job you are giving them?” Medina says about startups offer agents. “They needed the ability to measure their margins they needed the ability to try new things with different customers.”

Billing is combined with HR management

Agents are so new that startups did not have to deal with processes that provide profitable billing, quit the renewed. As a result of paying, agent startups allows the profitable margin eye to determine the price – fixed or variable.

In doing so, it also tracks the output of the agents, which gives the startup legality in investing.

It meets the AI ​​Agent Age version of the Juoor Age (Sass Renewal Billing Software) Successful Factors (SAS HR Management Software).

The paid platform is being marketed in startups than in initiatives like Salesforce and Microsoft, which also provides agent platforms. There are three companies like Paide Beta customer, it says: Logic.PP, 11 X, Vidlab 7, Artisan and Happerobot.

“Agents are replacing the role, human role, not the whole work, replacing the entire role,” said Medina.

He is practicing what he promotes using AI to create this new startup. Given Engineers have coded the primary product demos with V0, reflit and loving equipment.

“It’s so fun about creating a company now,” he said.

There is nothing from nothing in Madinah. Former Microsoft, who has become a well -known part of the Seattle Tech scene for decades, founded it in the 21st when he founded it on CEO’s role in September, 5 employees and $ 20 million of annual revenue annual.

Medina left the role of the executive chairman in March, though he was on the board. He and paid, are now located in London.
