Manufacturing“The full automation of all work” is what Mechanize is aiming for when its founder Tamay Besiroglu, announced the launch of his new startup last Thursday on X.
Some users congratulated him, while some grilled him with satire.
Mechanize isn’t trying to build another chatbot or scheduling assistant. Its goal is deeper and more sweeping: to develop AI systems that can perform any task a human can do for economic value. From tax filing to copywriting, from data entry to diagnostics, from bookkeeping to basic legal work—nothing is off the table. Backed by a growing team of engineers and machine learning researchers, the company is building digital training grounds, virtual environments that simulate real-world workflows and allow AI agents to learn by doing. Using reinforcement learning, the AI will hone skills the same way humans do through trial, error, and feedback loops. But unlike humans, they never get tired, don’t need salaries, and scale infinitely.
