The recorded proposition
Customer research, end to end, moderated by an AI.
Index summary of the positioning; not an independent finding.
Market-research company whose AI writes the survey questions, interviews customers over audio or video with follow-ups, and packages the conversations into reports and slide decks. Named customers include Anthropic, Microsoft, Cognition and Sweetgreen. Watchlist rather than index: the company also employs senior researchers, so the AI moderates a function rather than running the business. Reached roughly $30M annualised revenue within three years of founding, walked away from a signed $125M Series C term sheet at a $1.5bn valuation, and entered acquisition discussions with Salesforce at about $2bn. Those talks were not finalised and may not produce a deal.
Where humans remain involved
Ongoing human hours, approval frequency and intervention rates have not been measured in this record. Reported team size describes the company, not the labor required to operate a customer business.
What still needs evidence
Establish a repeatable production workflow, identify the tasks people still perform, and measure cost, reliability and customer outcomes before drawing conclusions about business autonomy.
Recorded caveat: Headcount undisclosed, so revenue per human cannot be computed
Financial and team context
Reported figures retain their original scope. Revenue periods and headcount dates may differ; these are not a current audited financial statement.

Recorded dates show when an entry was added to this history. Source-check dates show when the publication was read; they do not establish that the figure is current or audited. Earlier observations and corrections remain visible.

Neither the press coverage nor the company site states a headcount, so revenue per human cannot be computed. Recorded explicitly so the gap is visible rather than absent.

TechCrunch reports 'about $30 million in annualized revenue'. Annualised run rate, not audited ARR, and the reporting does not give an as-of date.

This profile brings together the existing Index research. Company announcements, sponsored articles and founder interviews can establish what was said; they do not independently prove sustained autonomy or revenue.
