About Runbook

Runbook is the fastest way to deploy AI agents in the physical economy: logistics companies, manufacturers, construction firms, and field-service operators that keep the world running. These industries largely run on manual, repetitive, labor-heavy, error-prone operational processes. Runbook combines best-of-breed agent capabilities and a deployment platform designed for business process owners that enables 100s of agents to built with enterprise-grade reliability and control.

Our first customers include Fortune 200 enterprises who were unable to solve the target workflows for years, even while working with the best names in AI and hyperscaler platforms. No other solution came close to Runbook's, which was live in production in 2 weeks, without a human-in-the-loop.

We've raised $15M in Seed funding and our founding team includes Obaid Khan (ex-founder of Motive, scaled sales from $0 to $300M ARR), Chris Ramesh (former AI Product Lead at Discord).
