A new way to work

What if you could get everything you want… …if you could take a leap of faith?

  1. No more CVs

    Your Poly work history cannot be faked or altered. Employers see real facts, not ChatGPT-generated waffle. Never write a CV again.

  2. Fewer interviews

    Your irrefutable work history can be read by any employer and AI bot. Interviews are more 'vibe checks' and Poly outright bans AI Interviewers. Yuck!

  3. Invest in people. Let them invest in you.

    Back someone you believe in for a share of their future work income. People who believe in you can do the same.

  4. Work in squads

    Team up with people you trust. One leader, shared work, everyone paid for their part.

  5. Reviews go both ways

    After the work, you and the business review each other. Shown together, in words.

  6. Headhunted, automatically

    Poly notices what you’re great at, and what you’re excited to try, then brings the work to you.

  7. Work anywhere in the world

    As more countries come online in the future, you can travel the world and support yourself without doing remote work.

  8. Meet new friends

    The best way to meet new friends (and lovers!) is as a side effect of doing something you care about with people that give you energy.

  9. A new adventure every day

    We encourage everyone to do multiple things at once and try new kinds of work. Unleash your multidimensionality!

  10. All with the security of a full‑time job

    Almost everyone wants the freedom of being a freelancer. But... health care, critical illness cover, gym membership. Argh! Once you've used Poly for a while, companies can offer you these benefits within the app.

  11. Available everywhere

    Poly is a website and an MCP you can use from Claude or Codex. Coming later: native apps and a ChatGPT plugin.

The catch?

You have to embrace radical transparency.

Everyone can see how much you get paid

and where you work

and what people thought of you

Dawn & Crumb

We know.

Poly is not for everyone.

Poly is a big idea.

Before we build it for real, we need to be sure people really want to work like this.

So we built a simulator.

How the simulator works.

Everything works as it will for real. Only the money is simulated, and the work isn’t actually done.

Step into John or Maya

A private world of your own, full of simulated people to message, hire, pay, review and dispute with. Nobody real, and nothing leaves it.

Real people and real businesses, as close to reality as we can make it.

Settled on a private Tempo chain

Every simulated payment settles on a private Tempo blockchain, signed with your passkey and kept in double-entry books to the cent.

Connected

Your way in

Join the waitlist with a passkey. We approve people a few at a time; then John, Maya and the shared world are yours to explore.

One day, we flip a switch.

Real work. Real money. Same rules.

Help decide what Poly becomes.

What people do in the simulator shapes what we build for real. Be one of the first in.

We’re inviting people gradually.
