### Active Founders

### Melvin Hagberg, Founder

Melvin is the CEO and co-founder of Reworks. At a young age, Melvin fell in love with computers and ended up getting his first job as a software engineer at an European unicorn at the age of 14. While in high school, Melvin built and sold software integrations for $150K. After graduation, he served as the Head of Tech at a Stockholm-based e-commerce startup for 2 years, and studied at the top finance school in Northern Europe (SSE) before ultimately dropping out 3 months in to start Reworks.



### Erik Heimdal, Founder

Erik is the co-founder of Reworks. A self-taught programmer who began his journey with a passion for cyber security. Prior to Reworks, he worked part time for a startup while studying CS at one of the top engineering schools in Europe, did bug hunting for Fortune 500 companies, and competed for the #1 ranked cyber security team in Sweden.

[### reworks - the fastest way to integrate with external software](

Hey everyone! We’re Melvin and Erik from reworks.

**TL;DR:** reworks is the fastest way for agentic AI companies to build integrations with external software. Instead of spending weeks integrating with traditional APIs or writing custom scraping scripts, teams use reworks to build browser-based integrations that don't require any maintenance.

For example, we help customers in:

*   🧑‍⚕️ **healthcare** integrate with legacy EHR and PMS systems.
*   💰 **finance** to perform actions or scrape data from legacy ERPs, bookkeeping software, and e-commerce platforms.
*   📦 **order management** to integrate with ERPs, WMS, and CRMs.
*   ⚖️ **legal** integrate with DMS and CLM systems.
*   🤝 **HR & Payroll** build connections with HRIS, ATS, and payroll software.
*   … and much more!

**❌ The Problem**
-----------------



Teams building agentic AI today spend up to half of their time on integrations with external software. For example, a team building AI scheduling software for healthcare might have to integrate with 10s or even 100s of EHR systems - wasted time that could instead be spent on improving the core product.

Additionally, many legacy systems lack official APIs, leading to developers building custom, browser-based integrations. Writing the scraping scripts is time-consuming and often results in highly unreliable and heavy maintenance. Underlying UI changes, such as an innocent popup, can completely break integrations.

**🏆 The Solution**
-------------------

With reworks, teams can record workflows in any browser-based software and turn them into reliable API endpoints in minutes. Integrations are built by simply recording yourself navigating the software UI and explaining in natural language what the return JSON data should look like.

With reworks, you get:

*   **Days or weeks are saved** per integration using our AI-powered workflow recorder.
*   **Worry-free maintenance** - If workflows break due to changes in the underlying UI, we use AI and computer vision to repair them, keeping your endpoints reliable at all times.
*   **Fully managed authentication** for your end users, including storing their passwords and securely using them to log in to software on their behalf.

To illustrate, here’s a demo of Melvin building an integration to Amazon in <6 minutes: [

**🧚 Why we started working on this**
-------------------------------------

reworks started off as an AI assistant for e-commerce customer support. It was all smooth sailing until we started to onboard customers and realized that for each new customer we wanted to onboard, there were several systems that we had to integrate our AI agent with (e.g., ERPs, WMS, and CRMs), each taking weeks to build via traditional APIs.

We spoke to over 40 other YC companies building in agentic AI and realized that external integrations are fundamental for the new wave of AI companies, but building them is way more painful than it should be. We’re on a mission to change that.

**🇸🇪 The Team**

We’re two passionate AI builders originally from Sweden.

[**Melvin Hagberg**]( (left) started his career as a software engineer at a unicorn at the age of 14. While in high school, he built a business selling integrations for $150k and has spent the last two years as the Head of Tech at a Stockholm-based e-commerce startup. He spent two months at the top finance school in Northern Europe (SSE) before deciding to drop out to build reworks.

[**Erik Heimdal**]( (right) is a self-taught programmer who began his journey in cyber security and reverse engineering. Prior to reworks, he studied CS at one the top engineering schools in Europe, competed for the #1 ranked cyber security team in Sweden and worked as a software engineer at several startups.
