Take Interest Inc.
Founded 2025 · US
We help each person at work become the manager of their own work.
Take Interest Inc. is a US-based technology company founded in 2025 by two builders with backgrounds across big tech and healthcare operations. We turn a person's process into steps AI agents do, on the AI their company already approved and inside the rules it approved, with a separate check on every result, so they set the goal and check the work and they choose how much to hand off. We start with one person and one workflow, usually their project's status and risk reports, measure accepted work, rework and checking time before and after, and then do the same with the next person on their team. GuardClaw, our runtime security for tool-using agents, is in public beta and is available where a setup adds tools or connectors.
The tools that shape your future shouldn't depend on where you were born, who you know, or what you can afford. The best tools should be accessible to everyone. Privilege, geography, and jargon shouldn't be gatekeepers.
Guidance, knowledge, and strategic advantage have always varied with socioeconomic and geographic status. That's the lottery most people don't even know they're playing. That's what we're working on.
But access without safety is reckless. When powerful tools reach more people, security can't be an afterthought. It has to be the foundation.
We build both at once: innovation and security moving together, neither waiting on the other, fast and deliberate in the same motion.
Two founders. One thesis: the best thinking and the best security should ship together.
We started Take Interest because we kept seeing the same pattern: teams giving AI real tools with weak boundaries, and security teams bolting on protections after the damage was done. We build the tools we wish existed.
Every build we ship gets a dated entry in our own proof of work, the running record of what we built and when.
What drives us
Never Finished
Ship, learn, then ship again. The work is the work.
Right Work Over Hard Work
Effort without direction is just noise.
The Wall Is The Way
The hardest problem is usually the most important one.
Security Is A Primitive
It goes in before the first line of code, not after the first breach.
Neither side has absolute authority.
Watch one ordinary task move back and forth between person, context, and your AI helper. The value is in the tension, and your context stays yours.
You
You set the direction and the final call.
Context
The system brings analysis, speed, and a first draft.
A vendor renewal just landed in your inbox. Watch how the work moves back and forth.
What we build
We build our own tools first and run the company on them, so what we set up for you is already trusted with our own work, and the setups we install for people at work come from the same method.
