Humanlike joins the Greek AI Startup Accelerator by OpenAI and Endeavor Greece

Today we have some news we have been looking forward to sharing: Humanlike is participating in the Greek AI Startup Accelerator, the flagship startup program of the OpenAI for Greece initiative — a strategic partnership between OpenAI, the Hellenic Government, and Endeavor Greece, with the support of the Onassis Foundation.

What the Greek AI Startup Accelerator is

Announced as part of OpenAI's country partnership with Greece, the accelerator is a three-month program built to help Greek AI-native startups scale responsibly. The inaugural cohort of 21 startups was unveiled at the launch event in Athens in February, and the program brings together founders, ecosystem leaders, and policymakers around one goal: putting Greek AI companies on the global map.

Participating teams receive:

• $20,000 in OpenAI API credits to build and experiment with frontier models
• Hands-on technical mentorship from OpenAI engineers, including dedicated group sessions
• Workshops on the EU AI Act, GDPR alignment, and safety-by-design — building compliant AI from day one, not as an afterthought
• Access to Endeavor's global network of entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors, with three dedicated mentorships per startup
• Showcase opportunities at international events such as Slush and Greece's Panathēnea — and for top-performing teams, a visit to OpenAI's headquarters in San Francisco

The program focuses on AI-first companies founded after 2022, from pre-seed to Series A, building solutions aligned with national priorities across education, public services, healthcare, and climate.

Why this matters for Humanlike

At Humanlike we are building AI coworkers — AI employees that plug into the tools a business already uses and take real work off people's plates: screening and interviewing candidates, handling email and back-office workflows, and keeping operations moving around the clock.

That mission maps directly onto what this accelerator was created for. The three months of the program give us:

Deeper access to frontier models

The API credits and direct line to OpenAI's engineering team let us push our agent and voice pipelines further — faster iteration on the models that power our AI coworkers, screening, and interview products.

Compliance as a feature

Our customers put AI in front of candidates and employees, so trust is not optional. The program's emphasis on the EU AI Act, GDPR, and safety-by-design matches how we build — and gives us a seat at the table where the practical rules for AI in regulated European markets are being worked out.

A stronger Greek AI ecosystem

We are proud to build from Greece. Standing alongside 20 other Greek AI startups — with the backing of Endeavor Greece, OpenAI, and the Greek government — is the clearest signal yet that a serious AI ecosystem is forming here, and we intend to help lead it.

What comes next

Over the coming months you will see the results of this work land in the product: better reasoning in our AI coworkers, faster and more natural voice interviews, and new automations for the everyday work businesses want to hand off. We will share progress as we go — including from the program's showcase events.

To Endeavor Greece, OpenAI, and everyone behind OpenAI for Greece: thank you for the vote of confidence. Now, back to building.
