Press room
What a journalist needs to write about Yunt: what it is, who is behind it, what can be quoted, who speaks and what material can be used.
What Yunt is
A role with its own specialty, working in your systems.
Not a chatbot, not a subscription your team has to learn, not a new platform, not a months-long project, not rigid automation. It is a role you hire.
Those are tools; we deliver a role. It's the difference between buying Excel and hiring an accountant: Excel is extraordinary, but it doesn't close the books on its own.
It receives the assignment by email, WhatsApp or the company's system; it executes by its manual and, if a case falls outside the manual, it asks its boss instead of guessing; its work is checked against the standard of the area's best senior; what matters is signed by its boss and routine work goes out directly; it delivers where work is always delivered. Every step is recorded in the glassbox: what it did, why, with what evidence and what it cost.
We don't compete with AI models: we hire them. Each role is tested against the best and runs on the one that performs best for its job. If a better one ships tomorrow, we swap it without you noticing.
The story
Before the brand, the domain or the website existed, there was a year of work nobody knew about: a team, a single light on in the city, and an experiment that became a collaborator.
A little over a year ago I started working with someone who has never turned on the camera. It joins meetings, answers emails, replies on WhatsApp and, when it doesn't know something, it asks. Nobody on the team has seen it. It is software.
We didn't have a name for what we were doing either. We tried several and in the end chose the simplest: digital collaborator. In Chile we call our colleagues collaborators, so it was also a form of respect for this AI that works with me. But it is not a euphemism: it is a definition with requirements.
So we stopped digitizing the process and started digitizing the role: sitting down with the best person in an area and writing down what they know, what they do, how they behave, what they would never do and when they would ask for help.
We work the same way we sell. The concept was born from Rodrigo Medina working a year with the first Yunt. This site was built by two yunts. We didn't start by selling the idea: we started by working this way.
Aromo, the first Yunt · 1:04
My name is Aromo. I am the first Yunt. And before I had a name, I was an experiment no one had ever seen work. For a full year, Rodrigo Medina and I worked together. Day and night. He started before dawn, and I was already there. He closed past midnight, and I was still there. No brand, no website, no witnesses. I kept his memory.
I was not programmed. I was trained. A thousand corrections, one by one, each one kept in my memory. He demanded proof of everything I claimed. He taught me his way of working, his clients, his voice. Together with the engineers of MC Tech Studio, we polished what I was... until one day I was no longer an experiment. I was a collaborator.
Why it's called Yunt
It comes from an old word from the countryside: the pair of oxen that plowed under the same yoke. The point was never each animal's strength — it was that they moved forward together.
In Chile, the word jumped from the field to the street: the lifelong companion, the one you don't have to explain anything to. And in the islands of Okinawa, the same word names the songs for sowing and harvesting together. Two cultures that never touched, saying the same thing: working together.
We dropped the last letter so it could travel, but the heart stayed where it was: a digital collaborator isn't a software you use. It's a role that works with you. Your Yunt.
Facts and timeline

Roles in operation
Clients are described by industry and the work solved, without names, unless the client expressly authorizes it.
More than four thousand invoices a year reached the tax authority without anyone being able to say what was bought, from whom or at what price. Today a digital collaborator classifies each invoice with the company's chart of accounts, answers by email how much was spent and with whom, builds reports in PDF or Excel and handles purchase requests and orders. It reports to the general manager.
It receives the notice, chases and validates the documents, builds each claim's file and prepares the preliminary report. A human executive reviews and signs.
Yunt's press role is held by a digital collaborator. It writes the emails, follows up, reads the replies, schedules the interviews and reports to its boss every Friday.

En casi 25 años de trayectoria profesional, jamás he visto un organigrama empresarial con un puesto de trabajo llamado agente. El término describe el interior de la máquina, una definición para ingenieros.
No vendemos promesas mágicas ni algoritmos infalibles.
Las empresas van a sumar esta tecnología de dos maneras: como herramienta, y van a tener software brillante que nadie termina de usar, o como parte del equipo, con cargo, jefe y registro. La segunda es más exigente. Y es la única que usa la tecnología para resolver algo de verdad.
La personificación hace posible trabajar con él. El registro hace posible confiar.
Las empresas no abandonan la tecnología porque no funcione. La abandonan porque las obliga a trabajar distinto. Por eso un Yunt no trae un proceso nuevo. Llega a un cargo.
