Our values

Blue-collar work is fundamental. Hiring for it should be too.

The people who cook, serve and keep cities running are too often an afterthought in how they’re hired and managed. We built pactful to flip that.

We’re here to

Find talent. Connect it to real opportunity. Help people grow. And enable businesses to seamlessly recruit and empower their staff.

What we believe

AI’s multiplier should reach everyone.

AI is compounding what people can do. We’re making sure it reaches the barista on a borrowed phone and a slow network, not only those who already know what AI is.

  • Agents localised for Egyptian Arabic, by text and by voice
  • Built for borrowed phones and slow networks
  • Designed for people meeting AI for the first time
Each spark stands for a moment where a person and one of our agents interact.
Two lenses

How we see pactful.

Impact

A problem that was never solvable, now unlocked.

Connecting workers to jobs across Egypt and MENA has always run on word of mouth, Facebook groups and luck. AI at scale, with agents that can talk, understand and act, finally makes it solvable.

Understanding

A window into how people meet AI.

Every day, people who have never heard the word “AI” talk to our agents in Arabic, by text and by voice. It’s a rare view of how AI lands at the edges, and what it takes to make it serve everyone, not only those who know its limits.

Safety at the edges

The less someone knows about AI, the more it has to get right.

Wider access means a wider risk surface. A worker who has never heard of AI rarely questions what an agent tells them. Their safety margin is thinner, so ours has to be wider.

The problems we believe will define this century.

Alignment

Steering agents toward what people actually need, and keeping them there.

Interface

Bringing AI into human life on people’s own terms: Arabic, voice notes, borrowed phones and slow networks.

Interpretability

Understanding why an agent answers the way it does, so we can steer it toward our goals.
