Hirebase Is Live: Closed Beta Is Open, and Our Parent Company BasedAI Steps Out of Stealth
Today is the day we move from "waitlist" to "you can actually try it."
Hirebase is open in closed Beta as of this morning. The first wave of teams from the waitlist is being onboarded. At the same time, our parent company, BasedAI, is stepping out of stealth and telling the wider story about what we're building underneath Hirebase. Two announcements, one day, on purpose.
If you've already read Introducing Hirebase, you know the product. This post is the launch note: what's open today, what's new since May, and what's coming next.
What is actually open today
Closed Beta means a few things in practice.
Waitlist members are being let in this week in batches. Founder pricing applies for everyone who signed up before today, for the first year, exactly as promised.
The first roster of AI employees is shipping: outbound sales, content, customer support, data analysis, plus the personal assistant that's been quietly the most-loved part of our internal beta. Each one comes pre-shaped for the goal you set, not as a blank canvas you have to configure.
Your Base, the workspace where the hires live and the work lands, is live. Task boards, hire-level assignments, structured outputs from chat, and a clean audit trail of every action a hire took on your behalf.
Integrations available from day one include Google Workspace, HubSpot, Apollo, Notion, WordPress, Vercel, Stripe, Telegram, Signal, Calendly, LinkedIn, and Instantly. We are adding to that list weekly; if your tool is not on it, tell us.
Pricing tiers are Junior, Growth, and Based. Final numbers post when we open Beta wider. Waitlist members locked in founder pricing already.
What is new since the intro post
A few things have moved since the May 4 introduction.
The outbound sales hire has had two weeks of additional work and now handles the full cycle from prospect research, to first message, to multi-step follow-up, to handing the warm conversation back to you. Outbound is the hire we are proudest of and the one we keep iterating on hardest, because the bar for "actually useful" in cold outreach is so high.
The personal assistant now carries memory across every workspace you join, which sounds small until you experience the difference. The assistant that knew your tone yesterday still knows your tone tomorrow, even when you switched companies, took on a new client, or spun up a new Base.
The audit trail and approval flows have been tightened. High-impact actions pause for your sign-off by default. You can change the threshold per hire. We assume our users want to ship fast and stay in control of the calls that matter, and the product should make both possible without forcing a choice.
What today says about the bigger picture
The reason this is a two-announcement day is that Hirebase has never been a standalone product. It is the application layer of BasedAI, the open source AI company that has been building underneath us since the start.
Today is the first day we are saying that out loud. BasedAI is the parent. Hirebase is its flagship product. BasedAPIs is the developer-facing layer, the open-weight model API for engineering teams that want to build their own AI workforce in their own stack. The orchestration backbone we use to keep multi-step work coordinated across long-running tasks comes from the team and IP we recently brought in from Warden.
If you are a founder or operator, that lineage matters in one practical way: Hirebase is built on a stack we own, on open models we govern, with infrastructure designed for production from day one. Not a wrapper. Not a thin layer over someone else's API that breaks the moment they change their pricing. That is the bet we are making about the next decade of AI, and it is the bet we want our users to be able to count on.
The honest version of what to expect
The first wave of hires works well today, with the same caveat we wrote two weeks ago: outbound is a subtle craft and we will keep tuning the sales hire for as long as cold outreach exists as a profession.
Things will break. Beta means Beta. When something breaks, we will own it fast, tell you what we changed, and make it up to you. That is the contract we want with our earliest users, because our relationship with our early users matters more than anything.
The thesis has not changed. AI employees let small businesses become 100x more productive, and let solopreneurs multiply their results without multiplying headcount costs.
