I’d like to share some exciting news - Ajourney is pivoting from payroll to AI automation. With Ajourney, we help businesses boost efficiencies by automating tasks, that were previously impossible, with deterministic results. We do this with a workflow builder designed from the ground up with AI’s capabilities and limitations in mind. Building in the AI space had been on our minds for a while. Initially, we constrained our thinking on the HR and payroll space, but it became clear over time that by broadening our scope, we could make far greater impact. It wasn’t a straightforward journey for us to land here. Two months ago, we decided to pivot out of payroll - we weren’t making good progress, we were trudging along. At that point, we had no idea what we were pivoting into. We reflected on our learnings and imposed two key conditions: a strong why now and a strong founder-market fit. Navigating the idea maze after a hard pivot was incredibly tough mentally. We had to pick ourselves up while hitting walls and dead-ends. I didn’t think we were going to make it until we did. I’m super grateful for my co-founders Thomas Jiang and Cayter Goh. We’ve all decided to stick it out and support each other despite starting again from zero. I’m very thankful to our customers who were very understanding of our circumstances. I’m very thankful to friends and family, founders and investors who reached out and provided support. Thank you! With this turn, I’m extremely excited and can’t wait to share more as we progress on this new Ajourney. Check out the new ajourney.com.

What led you to make it more broad? Horizontal use cases are difficult to nail
Looks great! Rooting for you guys
We killed our payroll software too. Competition is fierce for horizontal SaaS. All the best bro!
Pivots are never easy but will be rooting for the team!
