A letter from your founders.
Hello,
A few years ago, we both saw the same problem from different angles.
Shay was pioneering conversational AI, proving that AI could handle complex, real-world voice interactions with incredible skill. He saw the immense power of the technology but knew its potential was bigger than any single application.
Meanwhile, Simon was watching businesses here in South Africa, the real engine of our economy, getting buried under a mountain of repetitive work. He saw talented people spending their days on tasks that didn't use their skills, and he knew there had to be a better way.
When we came together, the idea for Aiployee was born. It was one of those moments where everything just clicks. What if we could combine Shay's deep, hands-on experience in building world-class AI with a vision to create not just a single tool, but an entire workforce? A marketplace where any business could hire a specialised Aiployee for any role, instantly.
We're not just building another software company. We're building a new way to work. Our shared mission is to give every South African business the tools to not just compete, but to thrive. We believe that when you free people from repetitive work, you unlock their true potential for creativity, strategy, and building real human connections.
As proud South Africans, we're committed to building this company right here, for our unique market. We understand the challenges and the opportunities because we live them, too.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. We're just getting started, and we can't wait to see what we can build together.
Regards,
Simon Rubin & Shay Sin Beti
Co-founders, Aiployee
