About Faraday

YC company profile

Industrial AI coordinating humans, agents, and machines

Industrial enterprises still rely on people to coordinate disconnected software and machines, with critical knowledge held by a few experienced employees.

Faraday builds self-improving systems that take on this operational work. We connect to existing software and machines and build training and evaluation environments around each company’s workflows and data.

Continuous learning turns each company’s expertise into a compounding asset. Completed work, corrections, and employee feedback improve the agents, and those improvements carry into future jobs. The business preserves its knowledge while becoming more capable over time.

As these agents take on more workflows, Faraday will be the shared runtime coordinating work between humans, agents, and robots across the business.
