From The Desk Of Beatrix Lamarr: Issue #12
We’re on a hot streak this week. Humans&, the newest startup on the block claims to want to develop human centered AI built on trust and collaboration. After a $480M seed raise, their statement kinda sounds like word salad? Or is it just me?
For trailblazing founders craving major travel this quarter, applications are open to speak at the Women In Business Summit Dubai. Polish those keynote speaker chops and share your zone of genius.
With all the scandalous drama going down at Mira Murati’s Thinking Machine Lab (due to her sketchy male employee) we need more women founders scaling with AI employees and all-female teams, less “No I wasn’t dating my subordinate…ok I was but if you’re going to fire me for that, I was already going to quit” headaches.

HER POWER BRIEF
💄 Meet Humans&, The AI Startup That Wants To Empower People, Not Replace Them
3 Month-Old Company raised $480M, Valued At $4.48 Billion

Founded by researchers at Anthropic, xAI and Google who aim to pivot the industry’s focus away from autonomous agents toward truly human-centered AI.
“No one changes the world alone. AI models are rapidly learning to reason better, code faster, and take actions in the world with increasing autonomy. But for humans, progress happens when we understand one another, build trust, make connections, and work together”
—–Humans& Statement
While the organization claims to be human-centric, what does that actually mean? And how are they different in a meaningful way beside the all-star pedigree? Investors include Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA, and Google Ventures.
Like most AI-powered outcomes, we’ll see.
How much could AI save your support team?
Peak season is here. Most retail and ecommerce teams face the same problem: volume spikes, but headcount doesn't.
Instead of hiring temporary staff or burning out your team, there’s a smarter move. Let AI handle the predictable stuff, like answering FAQs, routing tickets, and processing returns, so your people focus on what they do best: building loyalty.
Gladly’s ROI calculator shows exactly what this looks like for your business: how many tickets AI could resolve, how much that costs, and what that means for your bottom line. Real numbers. Your data.
