Hey everyone! We’re Pascal and Ken, here to introduce you to Basepilot.

TL;DR:

Basepilot creates AI assistants to automate repetitive and manual work across a browser. We help companies save 30% of their time weekly and cut costs, freeing up resources for more high-value tasks. For example, finance, recruitment, or sales teams can automate mundane back-office tasks within a few clicks and a quick demonstration.

Where Basepilot can help you:

• Sales - To help automate sales outreach, prospecting, and follow-ups.
• Recruitment - To help with sourcing candidates and clients, and analyzing and triaging profiles.
• Finance - To help fill in applications/forms, transfer data, do accounting ops, and update customer details.
• & any other manual task across your browser!

Problem - 30% of a business’s total time and resources is wasted on mundane repetitive work

Currently, businesses employ teams of knowledge workers (in sales, ops, recruitment, finance, and more) that face a lot of manual and repetitive processes that slow them down. Although critical to get done, these tasks take hours away from doing more high-value work leading to frustration and lower output among teams.

For a business, this results in:

• 30% of their team’s time wasted on mindless tasks
• Wasted resources spent on hiring more people to handle the workload
• Increased error rates through manual boring work

For example, a recruitment firm spends 8+ hours/week per recruiter on repetitive admin work to source candidates, analyze applications and enter data, instead of talking to candidates!

Existing solutions suck!

• Off-the-shelf tools often don’t work as workflows are very specific to a company.
• Automating processes with tools like UI Path is extremely expensive, requires specialist automation engineers and takes several weeks or months to set up.

Solution - Automate repetitive tasks in minutes

Basepilot makes it super easy for a business to build and train their own AI employees, enabling anyone in the company to automate their mundane and repetitive work, freeing up time for more high-value tasks.

We designed Basepilot with these core principles in mind:

• Works where you work: Basepilot works across the tools you already use right in your browser as a Chrome extension. No need to adopt new tools or change your workflows.
• Teach it like a human: There’s no need to get technical or hire an expensive automation team, simply train your new assistant to complete work, just like you’d teach a human: by showing and telling.
• Faster ROI (at lower cost): Automate workflows in minutes, not weeks or months. Unlike traditional automation tools, Basepilot can get set up and operational in a fraction of the time & cost.
• Keep control: Basepilot operates in your tabs, allowing you to check in and see what’s happening in real-time while you focus on more high-value work, e.g. engaging in customer conversations while Basepilot sources new leads in the background.

Meet Ken & Pascal 🇳🇿🇩🇪➡️🇺🇸

Pascal & Ken both independently traveled to San Francisco in the summer of 2023 (from Germany & New Zealand respectively). We came here without knowing each other to explore the startup space and build the future 💪🏼🔨🚀. While in SF, we met through common friends, vibed well, and started working together. We moved across the world to work together in Europe, and got into YC - which brought us back to the city! Super grateful to be back! ❤️😍

We were inspired by the new wave of AI capabilities and are passionate about unlocking more human creativity by automating away the processes we all absolutely despise!
