> AI agents that automate business finances by watching your screen this is the first update for hyprsqrl. even though experimentation and user conversations have been going on for a couple of months, it's not until recently that direction crystallized. ## latest updates - in talks with a crypto accounting company for partnership - partnership + monthly grant from [screenpipe](https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe) (~$1k/m) - [rough demo that automatically creates invoices based on screen activity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1hXua2BfLc) - first client demos - launched [landing page](https://hyprsqrl.com/) 100+ people on the waitlist ### what is it? hyprsqrl automates common financial workflows using AI agents and stablecoins. ### what's the big issue running an online business requires a lot of time and effort. there are all sorts of considerations and skills that are necessary from running a social media brand account to actually making the business' flagship product. but there's one particular set of tasks that are echoed by every single business owner as being the least rewarding task: finance. every business needs to manage a treasury, issue invoices, and keep track of their accounting. i've experienced this firsthand as a repeat business owner, but today it doesn't need to be that way. ## what changed there are two major trends that make this a low-hanging fruit today a) rise of ai agents b) increasing ubiquity of stablecoin payments. in the past, it wouldn't make sense to automate processes for small businesses because their processes varied too much from one to the next and the payoff was too little. today, with ai agents it's possible to create very resilient automation processes that work across a wide array of businesses and are easy to adapt. on the other side, moving money around has always been painful (i actually need to send a manual request to mercury if i want to get access to their api _for my own account!_). that makes it hard to correctly automate treasury management for businesses. with stablecoins it's a different story. not only can you automate your entire payments & invoices, businesses can also benefit from having their money work for them (depending on their risk appetite) through taking part in crypto yield-bearing solutions. ## our immediate solution we're building a privacy-first desktop app that automates the most repetitive financial workflows, regardless of whether there is an API or not -> real screenshot ![[A4 - 1.png]] mvp plan: - treasury management agent: Automated USDC/fiat allocation based on business rules - invoice generation: AI-powered invoice creation from email/chat conversations - legacy bank integration: Automated ACH/IBAN transfers via banking partners ## team benjamin shafii: - helped launch gnosis pay card last year - built a 6-figure venture studio (helped launch 3 products) - [orange dao](https://www.orangedao.xyz/) alumni - crypto since 2018 (joined invoicing protocol request network) additional hiring freelancers to help with various auxiliary tasks. ## asks - intro to card issuance programs (US) - considering building on top of gnosis pay for eu - intro to permissionless bank transfer solutions - currently evaluating monerium for eu ## personal news moving to sf in jan
