Founders Misha Laskin and Giannis, leveraging their DeepMind and Google experience, established Reflection AI to solve the reliability bottleneck in autonomous agents by replacing heuristic prompting with scalable search and reinforcement learning. The company addresses the "depth problem" in current LLMs by treating post-training as an AlphaGo-style pipeline that minimizes error accumulation to transition task completion rates from approximately 13% to near-perfect reliability. With a strategic vision targeting digital AGI within three years, Reflection aims to deploy universal agents capable of complex multi-step reasoning while prioritizing pragmatic safety through operational consistency.
