About GREP AI

More time for
what matters to you.

We’re building Grep to take repetitive work off your plate, so you have more time for the people you help, the ideas you want to pursue, and life beyond work.

Our story

A small team. A bigger purpose.

We started with a problem we knew firsthand: too much of the working day gets lost to repetitive tasks. Here’s how that became our work.

  1. 2023

    We started Parcha.

    At Brex, AJ and Miguel saw how much time teams spent on manual operations. We founded Parcha Labs to help, working with our first customers on compliance and due diligence: real work, with people depending on the outcome.

  2. November 2023

    We started with one specific use case.

    We focused on business verification: helping teams understand who they were doing business with. Starting with one specific use case let us learn the work deeply and build agents that could handle it reliably.

  3. December 2025

    We opened the door to more teams.

    We opened Grep as a research preview, bringing what we had learned to work beyond compliance. Within two weeks, hundreds of people across consulting, technology, and financial services were using it. The need reached far beyond where we started.

  4. Today

    The ambition is still personal.

    We’re building toward a day when repetitive work takes less of yours. More room to help a customer, follow an idea, or close your laptop on time. That’s what we want Grep to make possible.

What the experience taught us.

These are the decisions we return to as we build.

  1. 01

    Judge the system over repeated runs

    One good answer tells you little about the next hundred cases. We care about consistency, recovery, and evaluation across the work an agent actually encounters.

  2. 02

    Give agents a proper workspace

    Instructions, files, tools, and accumulated context help an agent complete substantial work. Its environment deserves as much attention as its prompt.

  3. 03

    Make the work inspectable

    People need to see the evidence and decisions behind an outcome. Clear traces help teams review results, understand mistakes, and improve the process.

  4. 04

    Make the economics work at volume

    An agent becomes useful when you can afford to keep running it. Reuse successful procedures, move repeated steps into code, and spend on reasoning where it contributes.

Built by Parcha Labs.

We bring product and engineering experience from Brex, Google, Coinbase, and Twitter. Since 2023, we’ve been applying it to the practical problems of putting agents to work.

Why AI Agents Fail in Production

How our architecture evolved as we confronted the tension between reliable procedures, agent autonomy, and the cost of repeated reasoning.
