hAire heads for its first trials
A remote workforce for physical work. It is pre-launch, and we would rather say that than dress it up.
All updateshAire is the newest thing in the portfolio and the least finished, and that is worth writing down rather than leaving a reader to work it out.
The premise is not that machines will shortly do physical work on their own. It is that a trained operator, working at an address they are not standing in, can do that work now — and that the variation of a real floor is a better teacher than a laboratory.
The figures on the product page are hAire's own, taken from its site and attributed there. Figures from the trials get published once the trials have run. If your floor has work that is hard to staff and easy to describe, it is worth a conversation before the trials are full.
