Worker.ai, backed by Veeam founder Ratmir Timashev, acquired Techstars-backed DeltaGen and launched an AI operating system for small businesses.

Worker.ai has acquired Techstars-backed DeltaGen and launched an operating system for small businesses, with backing from Veeam founder Ratmir Timashev, the company said in a press release. Terms were not disclosed.

Worker brings a company's plan, responsibilities, key numbers and processes into one system where employees and AI workers share the work. DeltaGen's real-time voice technology captures decisions, commitments and next steps as people talk, and Worker turns them into assigned tasks. In one example, after a team agrees to send a proposal, an AI worker drafts it and asks a person to approve the pricing before it goes out.

Worker was founded by former private equity operator John Roberts, now CEO, and DeltaGen founder Rene Bystron, now COO.
