About the team

The newly formed Stripe Assistant team aims to build an assistant for all merchants who use Stripe. We are doing so by (a) automating the easy tasks, and (b) assisting our users in the difficult tasks. Some examples include customizing the Stripe landing page to suggest bespoke integrations, allowing users to command the Stripe API in natural language, and resolving user issues automatically. We are developing RAG based systems on the latest LLMs as well as fine-tuning our own models. We’re an end-to-end team going from ideas to models to shipping in production.
