Manuel Garcia

Founder and CEO, Botpool

Manuel Garcia is the founder and CEO of Botpool, a freelance marketplace built specifically for AI-native talent. He started Botpool after seeing how hard it was for companies to find and verify people who actually build with AI, from prompt engineers and LLM developers to AI designers, writers and automation specialists. He writes about AI hiring, vetting and the economics of freelance AI work.
