Thunk.AI augments and automates human workflows for you and your team. It is a no-code self-service platform --- any knowledge worker can start applying the power of LLMs (like GPT-4 that powers ChatGPT) to work in a repeatable, reliable, and automated way. Common business workflows include acquiring and qualifying sales leads, background research on customers or products, generating marketing content, managing company-internal processes in procurement and compliance, and processing customer support tickets. When you use Thunk.AI, work is organized into focused projects called "thunks", each of which is an intelligent project environment where team members can participate, collaborate, and get work done. Each thunk has a workflow plan, generated with the help of AI, to guide the work of the project. Each thunk has an automation engine that can run the workflow as new data is added. Each thunk has the ability to interface with email, files, web search, and internal applications. And most importantly, each user in the thunk is assisted by a personal work companion, “an AI agent”, that assists in the execution of the tasks. In short, Thunk.AI harnesses the power and promise of AI to drive everyday business productivity.

Work – it needs a reboot. With multiple meetings, dozens of projects, and hundreds of messages every day, the demand for our attention is growing out of control. And all that technology that was supposed to make it easier? It just made it worse. We are communicating at record high rates, yet we’re getting less and less done. Until now.
At Umuse, we’re on a mission to tame this chaos and give you back control. To help you separate the urgent from the important, the “right now” from the “it can wait” in order to help you, be the best you, at work. Our ultimate goal? Make it simpler and easier for you to do your job – every day.
