About Gushwork
Gushwork is building an Agent Operating System for small and mid-sized businesses around the world. It is a modern business software where AI agents and humans work together. Business owners and leaders set the goals. They decide what each agent is allowed to do. Then they review the metric each agent delivers.
We started with an SEO agent. It owns one metric: organic leads. Once it ranks pages and brings in leads, it reports them back to the customer. We are now expanding into a Paid Ads agent and a Developer agent, each owning a metric the business cares about.
Our customers sell high-value goods and services and have fewer than 200 employees. Most of them are in industries that are not digitally native: manufacturers, industrial distributors, commercial services. They do not buy AI. They buy outcomes. Our job is to make agents reliable enough that a business owner can trust them with a number.
We are a team of about 90 people based in Bengaluru, backed by Lightspeed and SIG. If you want to want to help us build reliable agents that runs real businesses, we're excited to meet you!
