Our story.
When ChatGPT launched, we witnessed more than a technological breakthrough – we saw a glimpse of how profoundly AI would reshape human potential. As pioneers in AI development since 2017, we recognized that AI agents would become as essential as websites are today.
Being among the first 40 companies globally to launch in the ChatGPT plugin store showed us humanity’s hunger for this future – tens of thousands of users flocked to our application in the first week alone, each seeking to turn imagination into reality.
We built SmythOS as the operating system for the AI economy, yet our vision extends far beyond technology. Our platform transforms how humans work with AI, letting anyone build sophisticated agent networks through simple conversation.
We’ve made AI agents accessible to the startup founder in Lagos, the teacher in rural India, and the small business owner in Brazil – all with the same enterprise-grade power used by global corporations.
Our mission.
SmythOS exists to create a world where technology serves humanity’s highest aspirations. We envision a future where mothers receive more recognition than receptionists, where education nurtures souls rather than producing economic units, where humans can pursue meaningful work instead of laboring for subsistence. Through AI agents, we’re building an economy that values human creativity and care above all else.
Progress Through collaboration.
The magic of human consciousness has always been in its beautiful complexity – different parts of our brain working in harmony to create something greater than their sum.
SmythOS brings this same elegant orchestration to AI, enabling seamless collaboration between humans and AI agents. We’re creating a world where technology amplifies human intuition, creativity, and wisdom rather than attempting to replace them.
Safety and Trust.
In our pursuit of transformative AI, we’ve developed systems that mirror the safety and wisdom of natural systems.
Our constrained alignment architecture works like the human brain – compartmentalized, efficient, and precisely controlled. Every SmythOS agent operates within clear boundaries, protecting data and processes with the same care nature uses to protect vital functions.
We believe powerful technology must be matched with profound responsibility.
The Vision Ahead.
By 2025, nearly 100,000 enterprises will harness AI agents to amplify human potential.
SmythOS will be the foundation of this transformation, enabling a future where agent-to-agent microtransactions generate enough wealth to eliminate personal income tax and provide universal prosperity.
We’re creating a world where technology enables humans to focus on what makes us uniquely human – love, creativity, and the pursuit of purpose.
Join us in building a future where technology serves humanity’s highest calling, where every person has the tools to turn their dreams into reality, and where the benefits of AI uplift all of humanity.
