Seth Samowitz
Founder & CEO
Building the operating layer for AI — the verification, oversight, and institutional memory organizations need to safely deploy AI-generated work.
seth@askfairy.comThe thesis
Fairy is the third bet on the same thesis: AI doesn’t replace expertise, it changes where expertise needs to show up.
Every AI wave creates a new accountability gap — a layer of work that only gets more important as the technology scales, and that the technology itself can’t close. The teams that build the infrastructure for that gap become the foundational layer of the next era.
Background
2024
Co-founder, AI-native real estate brokerage
Co-founded an AI-native brokerage that did $3.1B in transactions. AI handled qualification, scheduling, and market analysis; brokers handled judgment, relationships, and accountability. The operational model that became Fairy’s foundation.
Prior
Phantom Auto
Worked on human-supervised autonomous vehicle systems — humans remotely monitoring fleets and stepping in when the AI hit the edge of its competence. The original version of the human-in-the-loop problem Fairy solves for software.
