Zurich startup Square8 builds AI workers for finance, HR and operations, with human approval for sensitive actions.
Yokoy co-founders Philippe Sahli and Lars Mangelsdorf have teamed up with Experify co-founder René Pfitzner to launch Square8. Its software agents work inside existing business tools, with scoped access, a record of their actions and a human manager responsible for approvals.
The company says its first customers in Europe are already using the agents in finance, controlling, HR administration, customer support and operations. The launch announcement does not name customers or disclose funding.
