👋🏽 Hey! I’m Anant, a cofounder @ Guided.
I’m a Cambridge/MIT engineer based in Paris, but I’ve spent most of my life around logistics. My father set sail on his first cargo ship in the 80s, and for decades, I watched him keep freight sailing smoothly through endless phone calls and emails. The same way it’s still done today.
Despite powering the global economy, logistics missed the last waves of tech transformation. While developers hit tab to deploy blocks of code, freight still runs on a maze of legacy systems, round the clock phone calls, and endless manual coordination. I’ve helped modernise parts of it, from IoT in trucks to automating customs documentation, but LLMs have changed the game.
Guided builds real-time AI agents that coordinate freight the way ops teams do — across voice, messaging and messy backend systems. We’re backed by Sequoia, growing fast, and hiring a superstar team to rethink the entire operating system of logistics.
If you’re interested in rebuilding a forgotten cornerstone of the modern economy, we’re hiring! Email me at [email protected] to learn more.
