GrupaAI is a Pioneer AI Lab building digital humanoid workers and infrastructure for founders, enterprises, and developers to automate operations and build autonomous businesses.
Momentum is the desktop experience for directing a digital humanoid worker. Set a business goal, authorize the tools it can use, and follow the work through to an outcome.
Workspace is our preview of digital workers coming together around shared work. Its focus is coordination and continuity, with people involved when their judgment is needed.
The Workers API lets developers provision workers and run work inside their own products and operations. It brings runtime, sessions, permissions, and execution evidence into an API.
02 / The approach
What makes GrupaAI different
A worker across the digital world
We are building a digital humanoid that works through the computers, phones, tablets, watches, browsers, and applications a person uses. It carries the human’s goal and context across the environments where the work happens.
Multiple screens. Multiple tasks. One mission.
Our architecture is designed for multitasking across screens, devices, and applications. A worker should coordinate parallel tasks, preserve context, and carry a mission forward as work moves between environments.
Engineer for work that never stops
A digital workforce must handle interruptions, changing software, and long-running tasks. Our reliability agenda is continuous, 24/7 operation with recovery, observability, and verification built into the worker runtime.
Make security part of the worker
Our engineering standard puts scoped permissions, protected credentials, isolation, and traceable actions at the foundation. People define the boundaries, approve sensitive work, and retain control as workers take on more responsibility.
Build the economics of a digital workforce
Our ambition is infrastructure that can provision and coordinate billions of autonomous digital workers for organizations. We work across perception, reasoning, orchestration, and runtime to reduce the full cost of completing work correctly.
We are building the foundation for the next generation of companies: autonomous businesses and organizations powered by digital workers. GrupaAI serves the founders creating them, the developers building their systems, and the enterprises automating their operations.

Our origin
Software scaled. The operations still needed people.
01
An understanding of work, earned by doing it
Before founding GrupaAI, Samuel Ekpe built multiple startups, worked in consulting, and ran the Grupa.io talent marketplace, handling operations, onboarding, and matching. That experience revealed the problem he set out to solve: software could scale, but the operations around it still depended on people doing the work. He founded GrupaAI in March 2026 to build digital humanoid workers and the infrastructure for autonomous businesses.
02
Build beside the people doing it
We worked onsite with Y Combinator startups during their batches to understand the work they were still doing manually. The first browser and computer workers grew out of those workflows, including early autonomous runs beyond 12 hours.
03
Learn from production
The work expanded to individuals inside insurance and banking companies. Across 1,583 production iterations reported by our founding team, the focus stayed on the details that make a worker useful in real software: continuity, recovery, permissions, and a completed result.
04
A desktop worker becomes infrastructure
Revi, a food-ordering startup, asked for an API. Requests from a consulting firm and YC startups pointed in the same direction: developers wanted to build on the worker itself. That demand led us to build the Workers API alongside the Momentum desktop application.
Why a Pioneer AI Lab
Infrastructure for billions of autonomous digital workers.
Our ambition is to make provisioning digital workers as straightforward as provisioning cloud compute. Organizations should be able to deploy and coordinate billions of workers across their software and devices, with reliable execution, security, and human oversight built into the infrastructure.
The standard we are pursuing is reliable, secure, 24/7 work: 10× human performance on defined tasks, higher reliability, and one-tenth the total cost of comparable skilled labor in the world's lowest-cost regions. These are research goals, to be evaluated against completed work, its quality, and the full cost of delivery.
We are recruiting exceptional people in AI, agents, engineering, research, and security. Our ambition is to build the world's best organization for digital humanoid workers: a lab whose research breakthroughs and engineering discipline make reliable, secure work possible at the scale of billions of workers.
Start with an outcome, the systems involved, and what a correct result looks like. Use Momentum for a personal mission, or the Workers API for work inside a product or operation.
Set the boundaries
Authorize the necessary sessions and tools, set budgets, and decide which actions require approval. For enterprise work, agree the deployment scope and onboarding with our team.
Follow execution and review the result
Follow the worker's progress, respond when judgment is needed, and inspect the resulting work. Developers can integrate run status, approvals, webhooks, and execution evidence through the API.
For product and deployment questions, email team@grupa.ai or book a conversation. Support arrangements and onboarding depend on the scope of the work.

Ambition
Billions of autonomous digital workers, provisioned on demand for reliable, secure, 24/7 work
A digital humanoid is an AI worker designed to use digital environments the way a person works: across screens, devices, and applications, while coordinating multiple tasks. People set the goals, permissions, and boundaries; the worker carries the mission through the tools and environments the work requires.
What does GrupaAI mean by digital robotics?
We use digital robotics to describe the engineering of workers that act in software environments. Our focus includes perception, reasoning, action, recovery, and coordination through the interfaces where work already happens.
Should I use Momentum, Workspace, or the Workers API?
Momentum is the personal desktop experience. Workspace previews agents working together, while the Workers API is for developers who want to provision and integrate workers into their own products and operations.
Can one worker coordinate work across devices and applications?
That is central to the digital humanoid we are building: a worker that carries context and coordinates multiple tasks across screens, devices, browsers, and applications. The architecture is designed to support a continuous mission across those environments, with permissions and oversight set by the person or organization directing it.
Does a worker have unrestricted access to my accounts?
No. You authorize the accounts, sessions, and tools used for a mission and set its budgets and approval boundaries. A worker’s authority comes from that delegation.
How do I get started or discuss an enterprise deployment?
Start with Momentum or the Workers API documentation, or contact team@grupa.ai to discuss the workflow. Deployment scope, support arrangements, onboarding time, and any service commitments are agreed for the engagement.
What are GrupaAI’s scale, performance, and cost goals?
Our ambition is infrastructure for billions of autonomous digital workers carrying out reliable, secure work around the clock. We are pursuing 10× human performance on defined tasks, higher reliability, and one-tenth the total cost of comparable skilled labor in the world’s lowest-cost regions. These are research goals, evaluated against task quality, reliability, completion rate, and the full cost of delivery.
