Now You Can Hire AI Tools Like Freelancers — Thanks to This Indian Startup

 



A tech startup based in Ahmedabad is changing how businesses use artificial intelligence. The company has launched a platform that allows users to hire AI tools the same way they hire freelancers— on demand and for specific tasks.

Over the past few years, companies everywhere have turned to AI to speed up their work, reduce costs, and make smarter decisions. But finding the right AI tool has become a tough task. With hundreds of platforms available online, most users—especially those without a technical background— don’t know where to start. Many tools are expensive, difficult to use, or don’t work as expected.

That’s where ActionAgents, a platform by ActionLabs.ai, comes in. The idea behind the platform began when the team noticed that many of their business clients kept asking which AI tool to use for particular needs. There was no clear or reliable place to compare different tools and test them first.

At first, they created a directory that listed a wide range of AI tools from different sectors. But it didn’t solve the full problem. Users still had to leave the site, sign up for external tools, and often pay for something that didn’t meet their expectations. This made it harder for small businesses and non-technical users to benefit from AI.

To solve this, the team launched ActionAgents in January. It is a single platform that brings various AI tools together and lets users access them directly. There’s no need to subscribe or download anything. Users can try out different AI agents and only pay when they use a service.

The platform currently offers over 50 AI-powered mini tools. These include tools for writing resumes and cover letters, checking job applications against hiring systems, generating business names, planning trips, finding gifts, building websites, and even analyzing WhatsApp chats.

In just two months, more than 3,000 people have signed up. Every day, about 80–100 new users join, and over 200 tasks are completed by the AI agents. What’s more impressive is that the startup has done all this without spending money on advertising. People from countries like India, the US, Canada, and those in Europe and the Middle East are using the platform.

The startup started with an investment of ₹15–20 lakh and is already seeing steady growth in users and revenue. Now, ActionAgents plans to reach 10,000 users in the next few months. Over the next two years, it aims to grow its user base to around 1 million.

The team also wants to open the platform to developers, allowing them to build their own AI tools and offer them on ActionAgents. This move could help more people build, sell, and earn from their own AI creations.


From a Small Home to a Big AI Dream

The person who started ActionAgents, Jay, didn’t come from a rich background. He grew up in Ahmedabad, where his family worked very hard to earn a living. His father drove a rickshaw and often worked extra hours to support them. His mother stitched clothes for a living and also taught other women how to sew, so they could earn money too.

Even though they didn’t have much money, Jay’s parents always believed that education was important. They wanted him to study in an English-medium school, even when relatives made fun of them for spending money on it. They hoped a good education would give him better chances in life.

That decision made a big difference. Today, Jay is building a powerful AI platform from scratch, without taking any money from investors. He started small, but now he’s working to make AI tools easy and affordable for everyone, whether they are tech-savvy or not.

He is not doing it alone. A young and talented team is helping him bring this idea to life. People like Jash Jasani, Dev Patel, Deepali, and many others are part of the ActionAgents team. Together, they are working on building smart solutions that can help businesses and individuals with simple tasks using AI.

Their goal is to change how people use technology in daily work by making it easier, quicker, and more helpful. From a small beginning, they are now working towards a big vision: to shape the future of how people work with the help of AI.
