Introducing Sherpa

There are a million variables to think about when you work for yourself. How much have I made this week after expenses? Have I tracked all my miles? Is that expense deductible? What's happening in my city this week? When should I work and how much will I make?

These are the questions every gig worker and solopreneur carries in their head — questions that used to go unanswered. Now, you have Sherpa.

Sherpa is the first AI built for Gig Workers & Solopreneurs — combining real-time market intelligence from billions of dollars of gig earnings with your specific professional picture to give you answers, not just data. Ask Sherpa what job to work, how much you'll earn, what you made after expenses, what your projected taxes are and more. Then get back to doing what you do best.

Leveling the playing field

For too long, independent contractors have been operating without the tools and data they need. Often, they're at the whim of large companies that leverage algorithms and massive data sets to optimize their marketplace and pricing. While these companies have unlocked millions of earning opportunities, they have fallen short in providing gig workers and Solopreneurs with the information they need to make better professional and financial decisions.

Sherpa is putting that data, advanced analytics and AI in the worker's hands. They have a guide that operates with the same level of intelligence that the marketplaces do.

Billions of dollars of earnings intelligence, working for you

Sherpa doesn't just know you — it's powered by the broader marketplace. Built on top of Solo's growing dataset of $6B of gig worker & solopreneur earnings across rideshare, delivery, home services, and more, Sherpa can tell you things no generic AI tool ever could.

Real-time, across every vertical

Whether you're driving, delivering, cleaning, repairing, or building something on your own — Sherpa is designed for the full breadth of the modern Solopreneur economy.

Real-time event data coupled with years of historical trends across business verticals means you're seeing the market as it is right now and where it's going. Big game this weekend? A surge in local deliveries? A shift in platform incentives? Sherpa sees it — and more importantly, it tells you what it means for you and your schedule.

The most important data point is always you

All of this market intelligence is just the starting point. What makes Sherpa genuinely powerful is that it brings together your professional picture in one place. Your earnings history, your expenses, your miles, your documents, your tax estimates, your goals now talk together and can be accessed with a simple question.

The result isn't a generic recommendation for the average gig worker. It's advice that's calibrated to your patterns and preferences.

What's next

In the future, Sherpa will increasingly become a more active, personalized agent that guides you through your professional and financial life — all built on a massive, three-dimensional data platform that includes market rates, shift schedules, open roles, job prices, geographic data, and more.
