In this interview excerpt, Ayush Sharma, founder of Warp, discusses the future of HR, payroll, and compliance, emphasizing a contrarian belief that these functions will undergo rapid automation through large language models (LLMs) and AI, similar to trends seen in other industries. He highlights the broader meta‑trend of manual work being replaced by AI, and cites the legal AI platform Harvey—recently funded with nearly $8 billion—as a concrete example of how AI can empower legal teams to review documents, draft contracts, and boost productivity.

Seeing how your platform's built for fast-growing startups, how do you see HR, payroll, and compliance changing over the next 3 to 5 years?
Yeah, I think one big shift that has happened here is this, you're seeing this play out in a lot of other fields right now very quickly, but I think HR and payroll, not enough people have realized that this is also going to happen. And that's what, that's like the one sort of big contrarian belief that we have at Warp. So the meta trend here, the broader trend is that so much of manual work is being automated using LLMs and AIs. So a great example of that would be something like Harvey that has raised, I think now most recently at like almost $8 billion as of late to give legal teams superpowers for reviewing documents, building legal contracts, getting back quickly and just being more productive.
