At MultiOn, we are looking for a few more A+ players who want to join a rocket ship startup. (We’ve already turned down hundreds of applications because we only want to accept the best in the world)

About Us:

We believe in the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize the way we interact with the digital world. We're not just building a state-of-the-art personal AI Agent that brings the concept of JARVIS from science fiction into reality; we're also reshaping the future of software.

Our mission is to pioneer Software 3.0, where software doesn't just respond to user commands, but also acts on your behalf. We already hold the record for the first AI flight booking, food order & workplace certification and believe this to be just the beginning. We're a team of passionate innovators, technologists, and dreamers, and we are looking for extraordinarily folks to join us on this exciting journey.

Our investors include General Catalyst, Amazon, Samsung, early investors in DeepMind and select angels from the GTM and Research teams at OpenAI and Google
