Aryan pitched that he was willing to be his secretary
Two Indian teenagers convinced OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to invest millions of dollars in their business.
Aryan Sharma and Ayush Pathak, both aged 19, co-founded InducedAI, an AI-powered browser system to complete tasks.
Aryan revealed how he managed to reach an investor like Sam Altman and also described his early fascination with coding and AI.
During a podcast on Overpowered, Aryan revealed he began establishing contacts in the tech world by just cold outreach.
From the age of 14, he sent emails to big personalities seeking guidance.
The teenager also claimed that some of those people asked him to stop sending them emails.
Aryan and Ayush then decided to save money and took a trip to San Francisco.
They lived with friends and went to events where they would see people like Altman.
After the pair spent a lot of time trying to build a network and getting in touch with influential people in the AI space, Aryan and Ayush were able to meet Altman.
When the pair met Altman, Aryan pitched that he was willing to be his secretary to just be around him to learn from him and OpenAI.
After the meeting, the teenagers and Sam Altman remained in touch.
They kept in touch with the American entrepreneur and during the funding rounds of their AI platform, the pair reached out to Altman.
InducedAI has a browser that essentially uses an AI agent to complete tasks.
The company says AI workers will automate your browser tasks.
According to the company, the AI is completely cloud-based which is why it will not hinder other tasks on the machine.
InducedAI claims that it can provide human-like reasoning with its AI.
This will allow the browser to interact with web services without the need for human intervention apart from authentication.
In one tweet, Aryan explained:
“We let anyone create virtual AI workers that can automate the execution of workflows on a browser in the cloud with human-like reasoning.”
InducedAI allows businesses to input their workflows in English, instantly transforming these instructions into pseudo-code for handling repetitive tasks typically managed by back offices.
After receiving investment from Sam Altman, InducedAI has secured $2.3 million in seed funding from investors SignalFire, Untitled Ventures, SV Angel, Superscript, Balaji Srinivasan, Julian Weisser, IDEO Colab, and OnDeck.
Elaine Zelby from SignalFire praised InducedAI for its innovative approach, describing it as an advancement in robotic process automation that provides human-like interaction and efficiency.
