I have spent twenty-four years in enterprise technology and I have seen three waves that were supposed to change everything. This one is different, and the difference is not the intelligence. It is the labour.
From software budgets to labour budgets
For every dollar a business spends on software it spends roughly six on services: people doing work with the software. Previous waves competed for the software dollar. This wave competes for the six. That is why the companies being built now sell work, not tools, and why the winners will be the ones that package that work as something a business can hire, trust and audit.
Why here
The Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct sits beside a hospital, a university and a growing cluster of AI companies. Our first customers are minutes away. Our data stays in Sydney. And a Californian venture firm made its first Australian investment here because the interview experience we built was better than what they had seen in the Valley.
What we are building
Zeli is the first co-worker. Hiring is the wedge. ZARE is the engine that lets us build the next co-worker as a configuration, not a company. Every employee in the world will have an AI co-worker. Some of them will be built on the Gold Coast.
