The API for LLM tool use
What we need is someone exceptional to own the product engineering discipline. You might identify as a “product engineer” if:
Our product is unique because some surfaces will be used by our business customers, while others will be consumer-facing. We’re building what will become a household name for many, but will be paid for by relatively few (analogous to Visa).
We have world-class investors in our corner, like Semil Shah, Amjad Masad, Alana Goyal, Jaren Glover, Sabrina Hahn, and Y Combinator.
What you can expect from us:
OpenTools is building a tool use authorization network between AI applications and the human users they serve. It's akin to how Visa is a payment authorization network between acquiring banks and cardholders.
An example: "Perplexity wants write access to your ‘to-do list’ Notion document — does it have your permission?" We’re seeing that AI application developers and end users alike prefer a secure and familiar permissioning experience.
We’re founded by Andy Qin, who brings firsthand experience with the payment authorization networks as an early Stripe and Modern Treasury employee. We’re also well-capitalized by world-class investors and have name-brand early customers.
