You appoint Firstbase as your registered agent in every state where you operate or have employees, and we receive and view notices from the government, give you reminders about compliance events, and monitor your compliance status in each state, file annual reports, BOI reports, and franchise taxes. We will also help you register and maintain your payroll accounts in any state where you want to hire any employee — this way, you can avoid paying extremely high EOR fees (often around \\~$700/employee/month) and instead hire an employee through your own entity. And, of course, we help you fulfill the legal obligation of having a registered agent in every state where you operate. \\\n\\\nOne huge difference between us and other state compliance providers is that we actually own and operate our own entities in all 50 states as a licensed commercial registered agent. So we have direct contact with the state and don’t have to rely on any third parties for anything.\n\nWhy it’s important: to give an example, if you hire an employee in a new state and need payroll accounts, your payroll tax registration partner will typically work with a network of registered agents in different states and won’t really have control over anything. They’ll often need that third party to sign off on forms, which slows things down and often leads to operational nightmares.\n\nNow, almost 15,000 companies are using Firstbase Agent, and we have decided to do something nice and give part of the functionality **_free of charge_**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/0ace0f6e-0c19-40fb-8a7c-5df9da57e478)\n\n\\\nMeet [**_Firstbase Agent Intro_**](https://firstbase.io/agent-intro?utm_source=bookface&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=bookface_V1) — the simplest way to manage state compliance. We’d love to get your feedback. And again, it’s free.\n\nAgent Intro is designed for founders who currently manage their business compliance outside of the Firstbase platform, and use a different commercial registered agent. Agent Intro includes three awesome features:\n\n1. 📁 **Initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) filing**: The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requires all companies to file this on an ongoing basis, and we’ll take care of it for you!\n2. 2\\. 🚥 **Firstbase command center**: Get an instant overview of your compliance status in every state where your business operates.\n3. 3\\. ✅ **State compliance reminders**: We’ll track your deadlines and let you know about any required actions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/860e4f94-e0f4-46a7-9185-6d84d5748c93)\n\nNo more scrolling through different state websites to find due dates — we make it easy to track everything in one place.\n\nWe’ll be launching Agent Intro soon, and we would love to see you among its first users!

We’re very excited to share the launch of our new product line with you!\n\n## **Founders Backstory**\n\nAs a product manager and engineering manager, we both suffered through months of wasted engineering time building CSV importers instead of core product features. Even after launch, the [maintenance never seemed to end](https://www.oneschema.co/blog/csv-importer-cost) - parsing issues, performance improvements, and UX issues always seemed to pop up. \n\nWe decided to build OneSchema so product teams could focus on the features that matter most to their customers.\n\n## **What is OneSchema?**\n\nOneSchema is an embeddable CSV importer for SaaS companies. Product and engineering teams use OneSchema to save months of development and maintenance time and provide a best-in-class CSV import process for their customers. OneSchema cleans customer data during import, and offers helpful suggestions for resolving errors. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=66712&key=user_uploads/431865/e31cbb2a-a4c0-4455-9a51-593e136d5367)\n\nOur product team is laser-focused on making data onboarding as fast and seamless as possible for your customers.

Every missed call is a missed customer - whether it's an emergency plumbing call at 9pm or a pest control inquiry during a busy day. Traditional solutions like call centers are expensive and don't understand trade-specific needs like emergency vs routine calls, seasonal pricing, or multi-visit treatment protocols.\n\n## Insight\n\nTrade contractors have predictable, repeatable customer interactions that follow industry-specific patterns. A pest control call about wasps needs immediate scheduling, while routine maintenance can wait. HVAC emergencies have different urgency than annual tune-ups. These conversations follow scripts that can be automated, but only if the AI understands trades terminology, pricing structures, and seasonal patterns.\n\n## Solution\n\nSpadeworks provides AI agents specifically trained for trade industries. Our AI answers calls, triages by urgency (emergency vs routine), schedules appointments based on technician availability and geographic routes, generates quotes using the contractor's pricing, sends SMS reminders, and handles follow-ups. When complex issues arise, it seamlessly transfers to humans with full context. The AI integrates with existing CRM and scheduling systems.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/INR-spadeworks-ai-agents-for-trade-businesses", "votes": 12, "created_at": "2023-03-30T14:10:40.572Z" } ] }, { "id": 25866, "name": "Ponyrun", "slug": "ponyrun", "former_names": [ "Asparagus", "Nimbus" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4a6aa11f944dc1a5cb37880b3a981988db91d193.png", "website": "http://www.ponyrun.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; Remote", "long_description": "Ponyrun evaluates people for you.

You know automation could help, but it faces three major issues:\n\n1. **Existing business systems are rigid,** and systems of record like CRMs and ERPs make customization frustrating, complex, and expensive, often requiring external consultants or their own dedicated developers \n2. **No-code tools still have a significant learning curve,** and teams still spend weeks figuring out how to configure and build custom workflows properly before they can deliver value\n3. **Pure no-code solutions struggle to handle edge cases** or highly custom business logic, requiring complex and clunky workarounds.\n4. **Existing tools struggle to fully capture real-world business processes,** which involve complex processes that require a mixture of automation and human-in-the-loop, involve multiple teams and stakeholders, and extend across days, weeks, or even months.\n\n   \n\n## **Our Solution**\n\nWorkflow86 is an AI workflow engineer that takes natural language descriptions of business processes and automatically creates fully configured automations with forms, tasks, AI steps, integrations, and more. \n\n### **Design and deploy automations in minutes**\n\nThis allows anyone to build and deploy custom business processes and workflow automations by chatting to their own on-demand workflow automation expert. \n\n1. **Describe your process** in natural language or even upload an image, flowchart, or process diagram\n2. **AI asks clarifying questions** and develops an implementation plan just like a business analyst would\n3. **AI builds and implements everything** using a combination of forms, human-in-the-loop tasks, database queries, AI steps, API integrations, and even custom JavaScript/Python code\n4. **Deploy immediately** or iterate.

Want to get started with a UK mobile number right now?

They see calling stats and have the option to record calls and view a detailed call history.\n\n* Our monthly charge of around **$20 per user** is significantly lower than the price of a second handset.🪙\n* Users can be given **one or many mobile or landline numbers** instantly, from the UK, several European countries, and the US. 🌍\n* Our product is designed for **mobile first**, and our apps get fantastic [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/devyce/id1504660924) and [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.devyce.client&hl=en&gl=UK) reviews. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\n\n### Our Magic Beans 🪄\n\nDevyce has a close relationship with a UK mobile network operator. This not only gives us unbeatably low call costs (we’re paid to receive calls), but as we are expanding it lets us overcome regulatory issues in territories outside the UK.\n\nOur tech’s second to none. We’re not just building a phone system, we’re redefining what it does. With **automated call summarization, CRM integrations and smart call routing** all in development we’re delighting both our customers _and their customers_. We’re reducing the number of missed calls, which means our customers get more sales opportunities and win twice by switching to us.\n\n### Our Story 📖\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65611&key=user_uploads/982968/dc616887-712d-40c4-b296-cf41f714b9ca)\n\nNick’s background is in investment banking. However, while studying for his qualifications, he dabbled briefly in both real estate and recruitment. This gave him an insight into the pain points faced by both of those phone-intensive businesses, something that stayed with him until the opportunity to fix it arose.\n\nEd graduated from Cambridge with a Computer Science degree in 2004. He worked for some of the most selective London tech companies such as Softwire and G-Research, before moving to Vietnam for a few years and doing some freelance mobile development (as well as dabbling in VoIP).\n\nWe met through a mutual friend, Leo Bartle, who owns the aforementioned UK mobile network. Leo’s turned that network around from near bankruptcy, and it now supplies numbers to companies such as Salesforce and Google. He runs the mobile network day-to-day, and works closely with us through that as an increasingly active co-founder.\n\n# Get Devyce\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65611&key=user_uploads/982968/190c4b2c-2163-40ab-b94d-83c149522949)\n\nWe’ve been selling for a year and a half, so our core telephone offering is reasonably mature and stable.

We just launched **Scout, an AI teammate that turns customer conversations into better support knowledge, bug reports and insights.**\n\nAt Fini, we build AI agents that answer customer questions. But answering a ticket doesn’t fix the outdated help article or product issue that caused it. Someone still has to investigate, gather evidence and make the fix. That’s the work we built Scout to take on.\n\n**Scout lives in Slack and works across your support tickets, customer reviews and threads.** You can ask it:\n\n* “Why did CSAT drop last month, and has it recovered?”\n* “What are customers asking that our help center doesn’t cover?”\n* “Which product issues keep coming up, and who’s affected?”\n\nIt investigates and brings back answers with evidence and customers’ own words. It can then draft a knowledge update or file a Jira/Linear bug with the findings attached. Your team approves every change.\n\nIt also runs recurring reviews, so the work keeps moving without someone remembering to ask. Teach it a rule like “Always exclude our test tickets” and it remembers for future work.\n\n**What customers are seeing:**\n\nAt TrainingPeaks, weekly knowledge upkeep went from 6 hours to 1. At Snapdocs, the share of customer questions covered by approved knowledge grew from 44% to 72% in 11 weeks.\n\nScout works with your existing support stack. You don’t need to use Fini’s customer-facing agent.\n\n**We’d love feedback from YC founders and support teams.** Reply here or DM me and we’ll help you get set up.\n\n\n\nWhat’s one thing buried in your customer conversations that you wish your team had time to investigate?", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/W5J-scout-by-fini-an-ai-teammate-for-your-support-team", "votes": 3, "created_at": "2026-10-19T16:29:07.812Z" }, { "id": 96968, "title": "Fini: Accuracy-first AI for high-stakes support", "tagline": "AI customer support with 100% compliance and 0% hallucinations", "body": "Hey everyone! 👋\n\nWe’re Deepak and Hakim. Before founding Fini (YC W22), we led product and growth teams at Uber, operating at the scale of 200 million+ support tickets every year. We founded Fini believing that AI support can (and should!) be held to a higher standard than human support.\n\n**TL;DR** If you run support for a bank, fintech, insurance company, or any regulated industry, chances are you’ve tried your hand at generic AI support chatbots and realized they’re not a fit. A single hallucinated response can lead to lawsuits and PR disasters, destroying customer trust you’ve worked hard to build over decades. Fini AI was built specifically for these high-stakes environments, resolving 80% of support queries with full compliance and zero hallucinations.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=96968&key=user_uploads/1010279/fe000980-ba95-4470-9469-32c24fb5516a)\n\n\n### **Support in regulated industries is broken**\n\nCompanies in finance, insurance, and healthcare face a brutal trade-off:\n\n* **Scale support with humans:** Expensive, hard to hire, and training takes months.\n* **Scale it with generic AI:** High risk of hallucinations, compliance breaches, and protocol violations.\n\nIn regulated spaces, hallucinations or protocol violations aren’t just isolated bad user experiences; it’s a potential regulatory fine. A class-action lawsuit. A PR disaster waiting to happen. Because of this, most teams are forced to stick with slow, expensive manual support, leaving customers waiting even for straightforward queries.\n\n### **The (accuracy) problem**\n\nIf you lead a support team in a regulated industry, you can't just let an LLM loose on your knowledge base.\n\n* Generic models prioritize \"fluency\" over \"factuality.\"\n* They often make up policies or promise refunds that don't exist.\n* Audit trails are often non-existent or hard to parse.\n\nYou end up blind to what the AI is actually saying until it’s too late. This risk forces many companies to pull back on AI support entirely, leading to burnt-out agents and frustrated customers.\n\n### **Fini solves this**\n\nWe built Fini to be accuracy-first. We monitor every interaction to ensure compliance and use specialized AI agents that don’t just \"chat\" — they solve.\n\n* **98% Accuracy:** We hold our AI to even higher standards than human agents.\n* **Human-in-the-Loop:** We seamlessly loop in human experts for edge cases.\n* **Self-learning:** The AI learns from your best people whenever they intervene to solve a new problem.\n* **Proven Scale:** We already resolve over 1 million tickets monthly for customers like the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Atlas, Found, and Bitdefender.\n\n### **Our Asks**\n\n* **Do you lead Support or CX** in a regulated industry (Fintech, Insurtech, Health) and want to automate tickets without the risk? **Let’s chat.**\n* **Know a great operator?** We’re hiring a Head of Growth, Product Marketing Lead, and an AI Product Manager.

Sanifu helps teams scale critical back-office processes without relying on brittle spreadsheets, scripts, or general AI tools that reinvent the logic every run.\n\n\n\n### **The problem**\n\nAnalysts and teams in finance, revenue, and operations spend a huge part of their day doing manual data work. Cleaning data, preparing reports, moving things across systems, tracking work. It's repetitive, boring, and takes time away from the parts of their job that actually matter. The same work gets done repeatedly because their data is scattered across systems, emails, PDFs, and files. Only a few people know the rules and exceptions. When they leave, the process breaks.\n\nExisting tools don't solve the whole problem. Spreadsheets, macros, and scripts are brittle and hard to maintain. General AI tools can help, but they reinvent the logic on every run, so outputs need constant checking and can't be trusted for critical workflows.\n\n### **How Sanifu solves this**\n\nAnyone can turn their manual data work into an autonomous data app—just by describing it.\n\n1.⁠ ⁠You describe the process.\n\nIn plain English, you walk Sanifu through what you do. It asks the right questions, handles edge cases, understands your rules, and works with your real data (files, emails, systems) to define the full workflow.\n\n2.⁠ ⁠Sanifu runs it with you.\n\nIt executes the process end-to-end, showing real-time progress and outputs. You review results, make changes, and refine the workflow until it matches exactly what you expect.\n\n3.⁠ ⁠It becomes a reliable operations platform.\n\nOnce approved, Sanifu saves the entire process and turns it into a data app. All future runs replay the exact steps whereby the same input plus same context equals same output. It’s more than a workflow tool: built-in data stores, dashboards, forms, integrations, scheduled and event triggers as well as audit trails.\n\nSanifu is a full operational platform with 5k+ app integrations, 1k+ native components, forms, scheduler, data stores, dashboards, approvals, reviews, AI-powered entity matching among many  other features that make it an end-to-end data app management platform.\n\nSome of the fastest growing teams in various industries are already using Sanifu to save their team’s hundreds of hours per day of manual data handling.\n\n**Asks**\n\nIf you run a SaaS, finance, ops, or sales team and you have a workflow that involves cleaning, matching, moving data across systems or manual reporting, please reach out.

It took 50 years to reach 5 million installations—now that number will double to 10 million in just six. 97% of these are on residential and commercial rooftops, yet over 1.7 million homes are missing out on valuable Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) income. Why? Because REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) management is still manual, confusing, and built for utilities—not everyday solar owners. Jasmine Energy changes that. Our AI-powered asset manager puts registration, compliance, and sales on autopilot, making it easy to turn solar generation into recurring income—with just a few clicks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65777&key=user_uploads/421/1c122467-5767-4a4e-b073-e88acd17faf4)\n\n**TL;DR: Jasmine is the first end-to-end REC management platform built for residential and commercial solar. We automate common and confusing workflows—helping solar owners get paid extra for generating clean energy.** \n\n### **The Problem**\n\n**Claiming RECs requires too much overhead for small or independent developers. (it works fine for the utility scale developers who designed it)**\n\nResidential and commercial solar generators lose time and money navigating an outdated, fragmented system for managing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).\n\nThe industry still relies on paper, pens, and people. There’s no single source of truth, no standardized documentation, and no digital infrastructure to support efficient operations.\n\n* **Complex registry compliance:** Each generator must register with one of several regional tracking systems, all with different rules, document requirements, and verification steps.\n* **Manual data reporting:** Uploading generation data, proving eligibility, and submitting documents are tedious, inconsistent, and prone to error.\n* **Inefficient monetization:** Selling RECs means navigating opaque markets, unclear pricing, and a maze of disconnected brokers and buyers—without a unified platform.\n\n### **Our Solution – AI-Powered Automation for the Solar Industry**\n\n**Use AI to “read” details from PDFs and to interact with legacy government websites.** \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65777&key=user_uploads/421/c7d2bd40-b6eb-4064-b70f-120b3eeb1ea9)\n\nJasmine replaces the outdated, paper-based REC management process with an AI-powered platform purpose-built for residential and commercial solar generators.\n\nOur asset manager brings structure, standardization, and automation to an industry still running on spreadsheets and guesswork:\n\n* **Automated registration:** Jasmine handles the full lifecycle of registration, reporting, and verification across all major tracking systems—no paperwork, no confusion.\n* **Instant data processing:** Our AI ingests, validates, and submits generation data directly from inverters or utility portals to ensure RECs are accurately and efficiently issued.\n* **Transparent payouts:** Track your REC sales in real time and get paid faster, with full visibility into pricing, status, and transaction history.\n\nJasmine turns a fragmented, manual process into a seamless, digital experience—so solar owners can focus on generating power, not paperwork.\n\n### **Key Features**\n\n📝 **Automated Asset Registration** – Jasmine handles onboarding your residential or commercial solar system into the appropriate REC tracking registry, eliminating paperwork and manual errors.\n\n✅ **AI-Powered Data Validation** – Our platform connects to your inverter or utility portal to automatically validate and submit generation data in real time—ensuring fast, compliant REC issuance.\n\n📈 **Transparent Reporting & Analytics** – Get a clean, centralized view of your REC portfolio: generation history, earnings, sale status, and payout timelines—all in one dashboard.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65777&key=user_uploads/421/e3f34226-de05-4e49-a60f-b4b95d079cfc)\n\n### **Market Opportunity**\n\n* **5M+ solar systems in the U.S.** eligible for REC sales.\n* **$5B+ annual REC market** that is growing as corporations push for sustainability goals.\n* **85% of small-scale generators** don’t currently monetize their RECs due to complexity.\n\n### **Who We Are For**\n\n🏠 **Home Solar Owners** \\\nEarn passive income from your rooftop solar—no spreadsheets, no stress. Jasmine fully automates REC registration, reporting, and sales so you can **get paid fast** for the clean energy you’re already producing.\n\n🏢 \\*\\*Commercial Developers & Independent Power Producers (IPPs)\\*\\*\\\nManage RECs across portfolios of solar assets with zero friction. Jasmine scales with your business—automating multi-site registration, streamlining compliance, and optimizing REC monetization from start to finish.\n\n🤝 **Third Party Owners & Origination Teams** \\\nThird Party Owners (TPOs) own many thousands of small solar generators. Each site has the compliance overhead as a single utility scale facility. Jasmine helps  third party owners seamlessly register and track hundreds or even thousands of small distributed generators quickly and accurately.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\n**If you have solar:**  \\\nUse the product!  You can upload your solar documents and claim your incentives TODAY ->  \n\n**If you don't have solar:**  \\\nIntroductions: Know a homeowner, business with solar, or a local solar installer?

Jacob is a Product Marketing Manager who is responsible for positioning his product against competitors. He has to sit through call recordings to understand how prospects perceive competitors and how his company’s pitch is resonating with clients. He even hired a sales enablement analyst recently to organize calls and deliver insights to him.\n\n# 🎉 **The solution - ask Nucleus**\n\nNucleus empowers PMMs with **Revenue Reasoning** and **Revenue Observability** to convert thousands of sales calls into actionable insights.\n\nWith Nucleus Revenue Reasoning, product marketing teams can ask Nucleus a question in plain English like “Show me stage 1 prospects that were previously using Zoominfo for prospecting and what are their limitations with it?”. Nucleus will answer the question directly with LLM reasoning, along with supporting evidence from client calls.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80334&key=user_uploads/208653/ea5c36a8-aec6-4dac-828b-17f0abbcedb3)\n\nRather than relying on just keywords that often lead to false positives, with Nucleus Revenue Observability, Jacob can set up LLM-powered smart trackers that ping him in real-time when something he cares about happens in a call, such as when a prospect describes how they perceive a competitor. Nucleus’s LLMs go beyond archaic and often unfruitful keyword matching and instead reason over entire calls to deliver insights.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80334&key=user_uploads/208653/523b9be7-9531-457f-9e71-ea11e5c29e4b)\n\n# **👋 Asks**\n\n**Follow our journey on **[**Twitter**](https://twitter.com/NucleusLLM)** & **[**LinkedIn**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nucleus-yc)**.**\n\n* If you are a B2B company that does more than 30 calls a week, [talk to us to see](https://calendly.com/akash-88/nucleus-ai) if we can be of help.\n* Share this post with your Product Marketing friends at B2B companies.\n\nThank You 🙏", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Kti-nucleus-llm-search-across-sales-transcripts-for-product-marketing-teams", "votes": 24, "created_at": "2024-04-22T17:50:45.342Z" } ] }, { "id": 27816, "name": "OpenSight", "slug": "opensight", "former_names": [ "FastFile" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/388789f1c6ffe4850160572101030a86b8e7bc8c.png", "website": "https://www.opensight.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; Sunnyvale, CA, USA; Remote", "long_description": "OpenSight helps companies quickly scale up their support function and resolve customers' questions much faster.

These automations are great when they work but are often brittle and eventually become the main source of overall system complexity.\n\nWe believe there's a better way.\n\n## **The Way**\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/86TIu-MtInbRpmbfJWeL50XX54rQ0LV8KadWXaHHZJyZ9pmJ6ZMCKUwHoDLmDDukyiDubynyYQShtBsOLdrrdf08-ZYYEflSKKUIhrb7x9OY8YMNs_OBI_0ydBleeUpuU-jZqe2ycmB_N-PynbDzc7U)\n\nUse LaunchFlow’s Python SDK to import Postgres, Redis, and other cloud resources in your Python code, then deploy everything to dedicated environments in your cloud with a single command.\n\nEverything in the LaunchFlow ecosystem is fully configured for local development and cloud deployments by default.\n\n**Environments**\n\nLaunchFlow **deploys** and **manages** your infrastructure inside [**Environments**](https://docs.launchflow.com/docs/concepts/environments) that run in your own cloud account. These Environments satisfy most compliance requirements by default and are automatically configured for cost, security, and reliability.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Qa6mHTluFv0JTJqD6JwWs9vzQHmZxtn5j54fqvXUTmieIg20B7nBtZIrTOJ3SquGLPJaYtHvGHUKMuHOmv1zLJge7zLy5KYr8pNzmeSX3abNorK2DQ3I2_2iV6qNP6bRMsh80d1jZFUpjUmAURGpLcY)\n\n**Resources**\n\nYou can **create** and **connect** to cloud [**Resources**](https://docs.launchflow.com/docs/concepts/resources) in an Environment by simply importing them into your code. Our SDK provides ready-to-use client APIs for every Resource so you can immediately start using them in your application both locally and when deployed.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=80185&key=user_uploads/808343/085c12a5-8f53-44b9-8a97-1799f53ff2f4)\n\n**Deployments**\n\nYou can **build** and **deploy** Python applications in the same environment as your resources with a single command. LaunchFlow [**Services**](https://docs.launchflow.com/docs/concepts/services) lets you deploy your APIs to GCP / AWS with all resource permissions and networking settings automatically configured. We will be adding Jobs and Notebook deployments in the next couple of months.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=80185&key=user_uploads/808343/b7c23093-c085-4a3d-97ac-60ebb78d92f5)\n\n## **Works anywhere that Python runs**\n\nLaunchFlow Resources manages its own configuration and can be plugged into any existing Python app. We’re framework-agnostic and work anywhere that Python runs - we also include a library of common utilities for building FastAPI, Flask, and Django apps on the cloud.\n\n## **Why not just use Terraform / Pulumi?**\n\nTools like Terraform and Pulumi make it easy to automate cloud infrastructure, but there is still an added cost of maintaining a separate IaC tool and keeping it in sync with your application encode.\n\nOn top of this, these tools only help you create the infrastructure, but they don't help you actually _use_ it. Engineers can spin up infrastructure in a few minutes, but they'll often spend the rest of the day (or longer) stumbling through docs and blogs, trying to figure out how to actually connect it to their application.\n\nThings only get worse once you add a release pipeline into the mix and now need to figure out how to structure your code to work across multiple environments.\n\nThis creates a tradeoff between automation and overall system complexity, which is why many teams put off IaC practices until they can afford a DevOps engineer/team to maintain the automations for the company.\n\n## **Our ask**\n\nWe are looking for pilot users who would like to start using LaunchFlow today.\n\nIf you’re interested in using LaunchFlow, please email me at [**josh@launchflow.com**](mailto:josh@launchflow.com) or schedule a demo call using my [**Calendly**](https://calendly.com/josh-from-launchflow/one-on-one-with-josh-founder).\n\nHappy launching! 🚀", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KrJ-launchflow-a-better-developer-experience-on-gcp-and-aws", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2024-04-15T17:39:39.355Z" } ] }, { "id": 27897, "name": "TableFlow", "slug": "tableflow", "former_names": [ "Inquery" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fad6d127e5843dda3d9f06585de22ad73a6df795.png", "website": "https://tableflow.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "TableFlow builds AI teammates for data tasks, helping operations and data teams automate the messy, manual tasks buried in PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and emails.", "one_liner": "AI Teammates for Data Tasks", "team_size": 2, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Operations", "launched_at": 1676487521, "tags": [ "Documents", "SaaS", "Data Engineering", "Automation", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2023", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Operations" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/tableflow", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2023/tableflow.json", "year_founded": 2022, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/tableflowhq", "x_url": "https://x.com/tableflow", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tableflow", "github_url": "https://github.com/tableflowhq", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fad6d127e5843dda3d9f06585de22ad73a6df795.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Brad Flora", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/brad-flora" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 405594, "full_name": "Mitch Patin", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-founder and CEO at TableFlow.

Instead of spending time on manual data entry and validation, teams use TableFlow to automate these tasks with AI.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73464&key=user_uploads/405594/c161bc5a-7c2f-45d1-8e93-39ea826fc6a6)\n\nHi everyone, we’re Eric and Mitch from [TableFlow](http://tableflow.com)! 👋\n\n### Problem\n\nMany companies rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, and other file types to import partner or customer data, which exists in a variety of formats. This difficult and time-consuming process often leads to companies relying on a combination of in-house tooling and manual work to migrate the data. This becomes even more problematic when ingesting hundreds or thousands of files a week.\n\n### Solution\n\nTableFlow handles the file import process with automated pipelines that use AI to map, extract, transform, and validate data.\n\n**How it works:**\n\n1. Define your destination schema in our app. These are the columns and data types that you want to transform data to.\n2. Import a file via our API.\n3. Receive a webhook when the file finishes processing (takes \\~10 seconds, even with 100k+ records). This will include any errors, such as a required field being missing.\n4. Optional: Review the imported data in our application before continuing.\n5. Import the cleaned, transformed data into your system.\n\n[Demo Video](https://www.loom.com/share/a07bfd2c55454127afa44df31a973c81?sid=42c402db-1ee5-4886-a009-484bcdc1df3a)\n\n### TEAM\n\nWe met while working at Heymarket, a Series-A startup in SF. Mitch was the first product hire, and Eric was the first full-stack engineer. During our two years there, we co-owned many projects and defined many of the engineering & product processes to help the company scale. We became friends outside of the office by talking about startups, tennis, pickleball, and mountain biking.\n\n[Mitch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchpatin/) started his career as an engineer before moving to the dark side (product 😛). He previously worked at GE Digital and Bolt and founded a company focused on B2B payments.\n\n[Eric](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericciminelli/) is a software engineer who previously worked at Facebook and myMatrixx and co-founded a company that created a search engine for car shopping online.\n\n### Asks\n\n💌 If your team handles recurring imports of data in different schemas and formats, we’d love to hear about the problems you’ve encountered.

Numerous carriers we’ve talked to and currently work with have audited their claims organizations and found that their teams spend upwards of **30% of their working hours** just handling these notices.\n\nWhy? Many times, these notices end up in a court of law where an unhappy claimant will sue the insurer, arguing that the notice was ambiguous.\n\n# **🎉 Solution: One platform to consolidate, collaborate, and send notices.**\n\nKyber’s LetterGen helps companies streamline their notice creation process, removing tedious overhead and minimizing risk from claimants suing companies for acting in bad faith.\n\n![](https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=79877&key=user_uploads/271067/33ede188-d105-4957-a9e3-5f109a3b9320)\n\nOut of the box, Kyber’s LetterGen comes with:\n\n* Automatic policy language extraction 🔍\n* Personalized draft creation powered by GenAI 🤖\n* Integrated review workflow ⭐\n* Real-time collaborative editing and commenting 💬\n* Full history and version tracking support 🕗\n* Basic template creation and management 📄\n* Progress tracking across your notice funnel 📊\n* Pre-built integrations into claims systems and mailing systems ✉️\n\n### **Our ask 🙏**\n\n* Connect us with Operations or Claims leaders at TPAs, Carriers, MGAs, or Reinsurers ➡️ [sav@askkyber.com](https://mailto:sav@askkyber.com).\n* If you or your organization operate in a regulated industry (Healthcare, Loans, Banking, Utilities, etc.) and are required to generate similar notices for third parties, we’d love to learn more ➡️ [founders@askkyber.com](mailto:founders@askkyber.com)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KmL-kyber-lettergen-compose-and-send-complex-claim-notices", "votes": 21, "created_at": "2024-04-02T15:41:18.646Z" }, { "id": 69780, "title": "Kyber - ChatGPT for enterprise support", "tagline": "Kyber embeds AI intelligence into enterprise support workflows to accelerate customer success teams.", "body": "# TL;DR Instead of digging across resources to find the right answer, Kyber provides highly specific and accurate answers right at your fingertips.\n\n### Who Is It For?\n\nAny company/enterprise that gets repeat questions about the same thing over and over again that they’ve already documented or answered.\n\n### How It Works\n\n⚡ Install our **Slack/Discord/Front/Intercom** Apps each in **two clicks**\n\n**⚙️** We’ll ingest your knowledge base (typically public documentation) and configure them into your preferred access channels\n\n**❓** Go to town asking Kyber for help on questions about your knowledge base\n\n🔍 Gain important insights into user questions and team questions, which you can then use to further refine your knowledge base\n\n🚀 Accelerate support, onboarding, and more at speed of AI\n\nDirect Response Flow:\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=69780&key=user_uploads/271067/061a2882-761b-4b9d-83cf-edf2fc8ba501)\n\nHidden Response Flow:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69780&key=user_uploads/271067/98d2c6ea-889d-45a7-a4bc-33b6d11a4626)\n\n# Why We Built Kyber\n\n🤔 We started Kyber because we were frustrated with the tradeoffs that different resources and support channels provide today.

It's instinct, but for work. **The TL;DR: you can now hire an AI teammate.**\n\nEvery team we talk to wants AI teammates, but doesn't know how to actually put one to work. Maybe you've tried homebrewing OpenClaw or Hermes. The two usual options both whiff: traditional automation (UiPath) makes you sign up for a months-long integration project before it does one useful thing, and AI \"assistants\" hand you a wall of text, and you still go do the work yourself.\n\n**Ace is different.** You onboard it like any new hire, and it shows up where the work happens:\n\n• Forward it an email or cc its own inbox, and the draft lands in your Drive with the judgment calls left as comments.\n\n• @Ace in Slack after a call, and the summary + action items land on the opportunity.\n\n• Text it between meetings (\"move Thursday to Friday and tell them why\"), and it updates the invite, emails everyone, and confirms.\n\n• Ping it in a doc comment, or have it make a call on its own line.\n\nWhat comes back is finished work: CRM updated, email sent, invoice reconciled. When it hits a real fork in the road, it hands you the open questions instead of guessing.\n\n**Why trust it?** We spent two years automating high-volume work in mortgage, lending, and insurance, where a wrong answer is a compliance problem. Ace pairs a deterministic engine for must-be-identical work with AI for the fuzzy stuff. Every run is logged step by step, you set what needs approval, and you can revoke access like any employee's.

Yuma provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to customer service and e-commerce.\r\n\r\nWe integrate directly with help desk software (Zendesk, Kustomer, Gorgias, etc.) and focus on helping large Shopify brands deal with their high volume of support requests.\r\n\r\nTop merchants using Yuma can automate up to 80% of their support tickets fully autonomously.\r\n\r\n## Why do Shopify merchants need Yuma?\r\n\r\nThere are thousands of large Shopify merchants around the world generating $10M+ a year. Most of them have taken over some niches and are great at what they do: selling their products.\r\n\r\nBut they all have one thing in common: they all hate customer support. It's a burden for them and a huge source of cost, as they receive hundreds of requests per day. Some of them have dozens of support agents on staff, usually offshore, and the overall quality is still often pretty poor while staff turnover remains high.\r\n\r\nThose merchants have been promised automation for years but have always been disappointed by the outcome. As customers, we have all had to live through a terrible support automation experience before, so this is no secret, and everyone knows that the current state of the technology is quite bad.\r\n\r\n## Yuma is solving this in a few ways:\r\n\r\nYuma isn't just another RAG chatbot. Our platform provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to support and ecommerce.\r\n\r\nThese agents are powered by knowledge, follow processes, and are managed by our in-house AI orchestration technology. This ensures safety, control, and quality at every step.\r\n\r\nWe believe that to truly automate customer support, we must develop a platform that mimics the actions of a human support agent. That's exactly what we've been doing.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our top merchants are automating 60% of their support tickets through Yuma. Yuma can fetch information from external services and take actions in other apps as needed to resolve each ticket.\r\n\r\nWe are laser-focused on building the best AI support agent platform and aim to achieve 80% true automation in the next few months.\r\n\r\n## Fun Fact\r\n\r\nYuma got started by accident. This is my third YC startup after Socialcam (W12) and Triplebyte (S15). I released Yuma as a prototype for fun in mid-December 2022 and was overwhelmed with demo requests.

I'm very proud to finally put it in your hands :)\n\n**Why we built it**\n\nWe have spent years teaching AI agents how to actually resolve customer requests: understand the problem, follow the brand's policies, look things up, and take the right action.\n\nWe wanted to bring all of that to the phone. But making seamless at the same time.\n\nVoice is a totally different beast. It has to be fast, accurate, and personable. One awkward pause or misunderstanding, and the customer hears it immediately. But the hardest part was making it as capable as the rest of our agents.\n\nA customer calls at 11pm to skip her next delivery. Yuma picks up, finds her subscription, confirms the change, updates it during the call, and tells her when the next delivery will arrive.\n\nThat's the experience we've been working toward.\n\n**What it does**\n\n* **Takes real actions during the call.** Update an address, cancel an order, process a return, or change a subscription while the customer is still on the line.\n* **Uses everything you've already configured.** Same knowledge, same processes, same guardrails as your existing Yuma agents.

We started building on OpenAI's Davinci model in late 2022 and have processed millions of customer conversations for 100+ commerce brands since.\n\nToday we are launching **Ask Yuma**. Think Claude Code, but for your entire CX operation. A conversational AI built into every page of the Yuma dashboard.\n\n**Demo video:**\n\n\n\nAsk Yuma knows your entire support operation: tickets, automations, knowledge base, metrics, integrations, brand voice. You tell it what you want in plain English. It does the work.\n\n**Why we built it**\n\nSince 2023, Yuma has automated millions of customer interactions for commerce brands. Our best merchants automate 93% of their customer conversations. The automation works.\n\nBut configuring it was still painful. Merchants had SOPs in Google Docs they couldn't turn into live automations without our help. They wanted to investigate why a ticket was handled wrong but had to file a request and wait. They knew there were more tickets to automate but finding them meant hours of manual digging.\n\nThe dependency on our team was the bottleneck. So we built Ask Yuma: one conversational interface that puts all of that in the merchant's hands, with our team still there when they need us.\n\n**What it does**\n\n**Build automations from documents:** Upload any SOP or process doc. Ask Yuma reads it, asks clarifying questions, generates a visual flowchart, and produces a complete automation ready to go live. What used to take days takes 1 conversation.\n\n**Find automation opportunities:** Ask Yuma analyzes your escalated tickets, ranks recommendations by impact, and links to real examples so you can verify before acting.\n\n**Diagnose issues:** Ask \"why was this ticket handled wrong?\" Ask Yuma traces the root cause through your configuration and tells you what to change.\n\n**Generate reports:** Ask for a report of every product defect reported this week. Ask Yuma searches thousands of tickets, pulls the images, and generates a PDF you can share with your exec team or manufacturer.\n\n**Monitor performance:** Track automation rate, CSAT trends, unusual spikes, and compare time periods in plain English. No dashboards to build.\n\nIt doesn't stop there. Ask Yuma finds what's broken, proposes a plan, gets your approval, implements the fix, tests it in a sandbox, and verifies it worked.\n\nIn just 1 week of internal release, Ask Yuma has seen 60% adoption among existing merchants.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99564&key=user_uploads/37163/ccaf771b-aa36-4429-930f-2f22e68be888)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99564&key=user_uploads/37163/1ddfc2a1-f617-4280-932b-329fa2945bd5)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99564&key=user_uploads/37163/150191ac-4804-4fc7-987c-e1fe19abba26)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99564&key=user_uploads/37163/0b951c2a-8621-4c37-8ec4-b3ee345c13bc)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99564&key=user_uploads/37163/a3d159ca-0dc6-4ef4-a161-2e77f40b28f2)\n\n**Looking for**\n\nCommerce brands running support automation that want to move faster without the manual work.

Beyond Ask Yuma, we offer autonomous support agents, a sales AI widget for product pages, social media comment automation, deterministic workflow builder, and deep ticket analytics. All connected, all powered by the same orchestration layer.\n\n**What should we build next?**\n\nWe are working on automated weekly process recommendations, scheduled reports, and MCP integration so you can use Ask Yuma directly inside Claude and other AI tools.

Since 2023, we've automated over 5 million customer interactions for leading e-commerce brands with Support AI and Sales AI. Today we're launching our newest product: **Social AI**\n\nSocial AI puts your brand's social media comments on autopilot. It connects to your Facebook, Instagram, and soon TikTok pages, ingests every comment in real time, classifies each one by intent and sentiment, and acts based on automation rules you define. In early testing, Social AI safely automates up to 60% of repetitive social media moderation.\n\n**Why this matters**: because social comments are one of the last unmanaged channels in e-commerce. They're public, they shape brand perception, and most teams have no system for handling them. And \"safely\" matters here. One careless AI reply on a post can reach thousands of eyes in minutes.\n\n**Why we built it**\n\nWe kept hearing the same thing from customer support and social teams at high-growth brands: social comments are a blind spot.\n\n* \"A negative comment sits on a post for days and nobody can catch it.\"\n* \"Someone asked a product question under our Instagram ad. By the time we saw it, they'd already bought from a competitor.\"\n* \"A frustrated customer tagged us publicly. It snowballed into 40+ replies before anyone on our team even noticed.\"\n* \"A customer leaves a glowing comment and we don't even say thank you.\"\n* \"We have 1 person manually scrolling through hundreds of comments.\"\n\nSupport tickets have tools. Social comments didn't. We've been running Social AI in private beta for the past year. Today, after a major upgrade, we're opening it up to everyone.\n\n**What's different**\n\n* Works across both paid and organic posts. Negative comments on your ads are conversion killers, and Social AI catches them before they cost you.\n* Built-in automation templates for common scenarios (reply, like, hide, flag, or skip), with the ability to create fully custom rules\n* Configurable agent persona: set the tone, verbosity, and brand guidelines so replies sound like your team wrote them\n* Advanced targeting based on the commenter's follower count, so high-profile users get the extra care they deserve\n* Crisis prevention: automatically detect and escalate comments that could spiral into bigger brand issues before they do\n* 24/7 coverage. 50% of comments are posted outside business hours and on weekends. Social AI is always on so your brand is never unprotected.\n* Safety first: every automation rule is scoped by platform, intent, sentiment, and user popularity. You stay in control of what gets automated and what doesn't\n* Real-time dashboard with engagements, automation coverage, sentiment distribution, negative exposure rate, and unanswered rate across all platforms\n\n**The demo video:**\n\n\n\n**Looking for:**\n\nAre you running an e-commerce brand and leaving social comments unmanaged?

CX teams kept asking questions that no tool could answer well:\n\n* _“Which products are generating defects or breakage complaints this week?”_\n* _“What is driving checkout abandonment and what are customers saying about it?”_\n* _“Are refund requests spiking for a specific SKU or variant?”_\n* _“What new issues are trending right now that we did not even know about?”_\n\nDashboards only show the metrics you already track.

Each step is visible, enforced, and powered by a mix of good old hard code and LLMs.\n\nFlows combine quick ramp-up and adaptability with _strict step-by-step control_ where it matters.\n\nWith Flows, you can:\n\n* Build if/then logic visually with guaranteed execution\n* Combine AI conversations and deterministic rules\n* Review and debug complex automations in minutes\n* Gather clear insights and metrics on automation paths\n* Use hooks and ordered API & CRM calls for full consistency\n\n### **Why it matters**\n\nFlows make automation more reliable and easier to maintain. It brings three major advantages:\n\n**Step-by-step precision:** Every action runs exactly as designed, with enterprise-grade reliability you can trust.\\\n**Visual clarity:** Instantly see, review, and debug every step of your automations, no guessing or black boxes.\\\n**Hybrid flexibility:** Combine LLM adaptability with structured, reliable workflows for the best of both worlds.\n\nThe result is higher accuracy, fewer escalations, and faster resolutions, all in a visual format you can refine in minutes.\n\n### **The demo video**\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J1OMGCM2v0\n\n### **Looking for**\n\nWe’re looking for merchants and DTC brand owners who want to test **Flows** and share honest feedback 👀\n\nWe’ll help you build your first Flow, monitor accuracy, and measure results.\n\nContact Guillaume, the founder, at [g-sales-ai-launch@yuma.ai](mailto:g-sales-ai-launch@yuma.ai) for early access.\n\n### **What's Yuma's full suite of products?**\n\nFlows is part of Yuma’s full suite.

Yuma leverages LLMs and integrates directly with help desks to automate away their high volume of support requests._\n\n## **The Yuma Story**\n\nHi everyone,\n\nI'm G and I'm very pleased to be launching [Yuma](https://yuma.ai), my third company!\n\n**I did YC twice before** already, with Socialcam (W12) and Triplebyte (S15). It seems like I just can't help myself, and I had to do it all over again.\n\nThis time around, however, it's a little bit special as Yuma was launched by accident 🤷‍♂️. I released a prototype in December 2022, and my inbox was inundated with installation requests from Shopify merchants. That's when I knew I was onto something, and I decided to take the plunge. Having experienced that roller coaster ride before, I know exactly what I am signing up for again and I am thrilled about the long and eventful journey that lies ahead.\n\n## **Why do Shopify merchants need Yuma?**\n\nThere are thousands of Shopify merchants around the world generating $10M+ a year, and they all have one thing in common: **they all hate customer support**. It's a burden for them and a huge source of cost as **they receive hundreds of requests per day**. Some of them have dozens of support agents on staff, usually offshore, and the overall quality is still often pretty poor, while staff turnover remains high.\n\nThose merchants have been promised automation for years, but the technology has always fallen short, leaving them disappointed. As customers, we have all had to live through a terrible support automation experience before, so it's no secret that **the available current solutions are pretty bad**.\n\n**This has to change**, and we believe that the technology is finally there to fix this problem once and for all. Of course, our goal is for Yuma to do it :)\n\n## **The main things Yuma can do for merchants today:**\n\n* **One-click install** into **help desks**: **no configuration required**, zero adoption cost, and no change in workflows for the support agents.\n* By **combining LLMs with custom knowledge bases**, Yuma suggests drafts to support agents.\n* By analyzing historical tickets, Yuma can **copy the writing style of any brand**, but also understand and **replicate their current workflows** autonomously.\n* By bringing the power of LLMs to rules and templates, Yuma delivers a new type of dynamic workflow that wasn't possible before.\n\nYuma is already live on Gorgias at the moment, and our Zendesk app will be live in a few weeks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69885&key=user_uploads/37163/858ab524-d3ce-461b-968c-43ba41dea793)\n\n\n## **Our ask 🙏**\n\nDo a good deed today and **save a Shopify merchant in your network by telling them about Yuma**. They will be forever grateful! Not only that, they will receive a white-glove onboarding experience along with a 7-day free trial. :)\n\n— —\n\nThank you for reading!\n\n🔥", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IBB-yuma-chatgpt-for-customer-support", "votes": 74, "created_at": "2023-03-02T21:07:47.495Z" } ] }, { "id": 28784, "name": "Elyos AI", "slug": "elyos-ai", "former_names": [ "Prasinus Energy", "Open Energy", "Elyos Energy", "Elyos" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/76f14de542d5e5e64cbd1bcda09aac3368c32350.png", "website": "https://www.elyos.ai/", "all_locations": "London, England, United Kingdom", "long_description": "Elyos AI is a fully autonomous AI Agent, built specifically for trades and field services businesses.", "one_liner": "AI Customer Service Agents for trades and field services", "team_size": 20, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Operations", "launched_at": 1688401921, "tags": [ "SaaS", "B2B", "AI", "AI Assistant" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2023", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Operations" ], "regions": [ "United Kingdom", "Europe" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/elyos-ai", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2023/elyos-ai.json", "year_founded": 2023, "city": "London", "country": "GB", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/elyosai", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": "https://github.com/elyosenergy/", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/76f14de542d5e5e64cbd1bcda09aac3368c32350.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/107c72052f70273a51cc6e7dfa647d905b7226a0.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/43b6d88cbfe3150230fb6c4d30f8cd0fd168f381.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/991e6514327a3b8cde31d56d7954ffff835ff51c.png" ], "primary_partner": { "name": "Gustaf Alstromer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/gustaf-alstromer" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 344099, "full_name": "Adrian Johnston", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Second-time founder.

Our intuitive UI enables developers to **debug and test** their **prompts/chains**, offering deep visibility into the best-performing changes that dramatically improve LLM responses. The built-in Lab module lets you **compare various prompts, models, and parameter configurations side by side**, transforming rigorous testing into an insightful and fun task. Post-deployment, our robust **API ensures you have comprehensive analytics**, performance insights, and a complete tracking system for optimizing your application to excel in delivering user experiences.\n\n### 🚀 **Who is it for:**\n\nParea is for developers, AI enthusiasts, and organizations with a vision to leverage the power of LLMs. Whether you're a small team working on an LLM-driven product or a large company developing complex LLM-powered applications, **Parea simplifies the process and accelerates your time-to-productivity**.\n\n### 🎉 **Meet the Parea team**\n\nJoel and Joschka met in New York City and bonded over philosophy, learning, and of course, start-ups!\n\nJoel is a true Renaissance man.

With Parea AI, he's committed to enhancing the productivity of every AI builder.\n\n[Joschka](https://joschkabraun.com) is our Wunderkind.

We're Anna and Amy, sisters, co-founders, and the people who used to manually call 20 hotels for a single offsite.\n\nWe launched Nowadays on YC S23 as an \"AI copilot for event planning.\" Two years later, we want to show you what we actually built :)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/709549e5-8a04-4b5c-8557-76886ff145a0)\n\n# **TL;DR**\n\nNowadays is the AI-native platform for corporate retreats and meetings. Tell us what you need: we handle venue sourcing, contract negotiation, room blocks, attendee logistics, and post-event reconciliation. Fortune 500 teams and fast-growing startups use Nowadays to run offsites they're proud of, without burning out their ops team.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/53908cc7-1f81-4c15-afe7-5e0f11b7ad59)\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nPlanning a corporate offsite is a second job nobody signed up for.\n\nYour EA or ops lead spends weeks cold-emailing hotels, chasing RFPs, deciphering hotel contracts, and manually tracking room blocks in spreadsheets, only to do it all over again next quarter.\n\nThe vendors in this space are slow and expensive. Many of our customers have said the same thing: \"I got paired with a planner worse than myself.\"\n\nThe result: overpriced venues, cancellation penalties nobody caught, and an ops team that's exhausted before the event even starts. And for most enterprises, 65% of meeting spend is completely unmanaged, buried in expense reports, booked by admins outside any system.\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\nNowadays replaces the entire event planning stack with one AI-native platform, backed by a team that actually executes on your behalf. You tell us what you need. We handle the rest. Your team just shows up.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/67abf2bb-7640-4684-9bbf-c2bfb3a85d4a)\n\n## **1. AI-powered venue sourcing**\n\nDescribe your event, dates, headcount, vibe, budget, and we generate a curated shortlist of venues with proposals in 24 hours, not weeks. We have relationships with 400K+ hotels globally and we're a certified IATA travel agency.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/cedeb56d-e591-4eed-a1f6-b75d1eabf9b5)\n\n## **2. Contract negotiation, handled**\n\nWe negotiate directly with venues on your behalf, pushing on room rates, F&B minimums, attrition clauses, and cancellation terms. Our AI knows market rates from thousands of events and pushes back when hotels overcharge. Clients routinely save 20-30% vs. going direct.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/1156b34d-e9b9-4e1d-bc9a-7736a13901a9)\n\n## **3. Exclusive rates**\n\nWe aggregate demand across all our clients to secure rates individual companies can't get on their own.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/592bb426-c3e7-4457-ab13-860504f2fc0e)\n\n## **4. End-to-end logistics**\n\nRoom blocks, cutoff dates, rooming lists, supplier coordination, tracked in one place, managed by us. Nothing falls through the cracks while you're onsite.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/49563edb-1c99-4cc1-afbd-d590b691258f)\n\n## **5. Attendee registration and logistics**\n\nCustom registration forms, dietary needs, t-shirt sizes, room assignments, all in the platform. Your ops lead is not managing 12 spreadsheets.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/302d0f5a-5d1c-4b01-8cdc-32bffe7d01e8)\n\n## **6. Expert support**\n\nEvery client gets a dedicated Nowadays partner who knows your program, your preferences, and your budget. Our AI acts, and when you need a human, we're there.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/2afea73a-7a20-4209-b1b7-e2ded68d6a13)\n\n## **7. Post-event reconciliation**\n\nWe audit the final folio, catch billing errors, and close the loop financially. No more surprise charges two weeks after everyone's home.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103278&key=user_uploads/1347384/836fcdff-8837-4754-b447-cda95c651c11)\n\n## **Why we're different**\n\nEvery competitor you've heard of bolted AI onto infrastructure built decades ago. We built around AI from day one, which is why a small team can do at scale what legacy platforms need armies of account managers to do.\n\nOur AI calls venues in 22 languages, parses 50-page proposals into clean apples-to-apples comparisons, and routes every meeting through approval workflows, including the small ones EAs used to book on their own.\n\nOne Fortune 500 VP uncovered $18M in previously unmanaged meeting spend just by turning Nowadays on.\n\n# **Use Cases**\n\n* Quarterly offsites: for remote-first teams who need to meet all their new employees\n* Leadership retreats: for executive teams running strategic planning sessions\n* Sales kickoffs: with complex AV, F&B, and multi-day programming needs\n* International group travel: we handle the complexity of multi-country logistics end to end\n\n# **Where We Are Now**\n\nWe work with companies ranging from ones planning one epic kickoff a year to ones running thousands of meetings through the platform annually. Clients include Google, Airbnb, BlackRock, Anthropic, Pylon, and Mintlify.\n\nWe've run retreats from San Diego to Thailand, from 20-person leadership offsites to 500+ person company kickoffs.\n\nWe won both judges' choice and people's choice at Business Travel Show America 2025 and Business Travel Show APAC 2026, the two biggest innovation competitions in corporate travel.\n\n# **Why Now**\n\nCorporate travel spend is back and growing. But the infrastructure for planning events hasn't caught up. Legacy travel companies are slow, opaque, and not built for the modern distributed workforce.

At one point, we'd get 50 customer support tickets every day, across email and help forms:\n\n* \"How do I use this feature?\"\n* \"Can I get a refund?\"\n* \"I can't log into my account.\"\n\nI had no choice but to hire a virtual assistant in the Philippines to reply to users and solve billing issues. I had to use Zendesk to manage tickets, which was built 20 years ago and designed for a VP of Support, not a founder.\n\n## The Solution\n\nNone of this made sense, so we built our own modern, AI-native support platform.\n\nLetterbook integrates with your database, knowledge base, and Stripe, and our AI auto-prepares resolutions to every ticket. All you have to do is review and send.\n\nWatch our launch video: \n\n## Results\n\nWe’ve already replaced Intercom, Zendesk, Zohodesk, Helpscout, and Freshdesk for many fast-growing companies in YC. \n\nOne founder said:\n\n> The AI drafts save us so much time, and it gets better over time without us doing anything (it learns from our past emails). When we have to make changes to the draft, the CMD+k feature is a game changer and allows us to fine-tune the response without copying and pasting the entire thread to ChatGPT.\n\n## Try it for free\n\nSign up at !\n\nStart resolving tickets in 3 easy steps:\n\n1. Connect your [support@yourdomain.com](mailto:support@yourdomain.com) inbox.\n2. Connect your database and/or Stripe by pasting a restricted API key in Letterbook.\n3. Review the first draft and send it!\n\nUnlike Zendesk/Freshdesk/Zohodesk, which takes days to set up (a friend literally hired a consultant to teach him), Letterbook takes 5 mins.

We have built AI models and analytics products for both commercial enterprise and defense customers. Before Palantir, Jenica studied Math/CS at Harvard, and Jessica studied CS at MIT.\n\n### **Problem**\n\n**1\\.   SQL is verbose and hard to use for exploratory data analysis**\n\nData analysis is an iterative and investigative process. While SQL remains the most powerful language for working with data, SQL syntax results in long code blocks that are unforgiving when trying to quickly explore data.\n\n**2\\. Plain english is good for describing a high level query, but not the right UI for refinement**\n\nAI has been an incredible technology for fetching the right general data and columns on a well-defined and metadata-rich semantic layer. However, analysts must write long descriptive sentences to refine the query.\n\n### **Solution**\n\n**Tile allows anyone to explore and investigate their data in modularized steps without the clunky syntax of SQL.**\n\nOnce the insight is found, convert your tiles to a SQL block so you still have the robustness of code when building reports to share this insight with others.\n\n**Vision: The future is AI-enabled data analysis and report building. However, for it to work, explainability will be key. Tile will allow AI to show its work with step-by-step tiles and allow end users to fine-tune its responses.**\n\n**Demo: Learn how Dwight can use Tile to explore Dunder Mifflin’s transactions data**\n\n\n\n### **Try Tile with your data**\n\n[Sign up for a free 14 day trial](https://www.tile.sh/free-trial-sign-up) using Tile with your data!

We're **simplifying mobile and IT management for businesses**. Our mission is to cut through the chaos of telecom and IT services in Brazil.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78582&key=user_uploads/928768/83c1a053-91c7-452f-98f5-394c85819498)\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nCompanies in Brazil are tangled in complex telecom contracts and lost in inefficiencies. It's a universal headache, especially for businesses scaling up. That's where we step in.\n\n### Customer Pains\n\n1. **Cost inefficiency.** Companies use only 30% of what they purchase and around 20% of mobile lines are unused.\n2. **No transparency.** Companies don't know who is using it, how much they are using and for what.\n3. **Companies have no autonomy to manage their lines.** The mobile operators offer a very limited platform, increasing the need for customer service.\n4. **Awful customer service.** Incumbents provide low autonomy customer service that leaves customers with no effective help.\n5. **Confusing payments.** Invoices are long and confusing. Big companies have to hire consultants to understand how much they are paying. Some customers have over 120 telecom invoices a month.\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\nSalvy simplifies how companies **purchase and manage mobile telecom, turning it into SaaS**. Our platform provides a transparent, efficient way to handle mobile lines and IT demands (such as inventory management), minus the traditional hurdles.\n\nWe use AI to read telecom invoices and help companies migrate to Salvy. In just over a year, we've acquired +250 companies and have a 322% NDR with a 0,2% churn.\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io7iavc7qc0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io7iavc7qc0&t=2s)\n\n### **Our Vision**\n\nOur goal is to be the **one-stop-shop solution for all things IT**, much like Rippling IT Cloud. We're using telco as a gateway to provide other solutions such as inventory and SaaS management, using AI to empower these solutions with speed and efficiency. We believe in three strategies:\n\n1. Retention is inherent in B2B mobile telecom when you do a good job and there are no loyalty contracts.\n2. Mobile telco works as the gateway to other IT solutions for mid-sized companies\n3. If you can work as a one-stop-shop software for IT, you can build a really successful business.\n\nThank you for getting to know more about us and feel free to [reach out to us](mailto:artur@salvy.com.br) for more details!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KRS-salvy-simplifying-telco-for-businesses-in-brazil", "votes": 638, "created_at": "2024-02-21T00:01:48.712Z" } ] }, { "id": 29376, "name": "Carma", "slug": "carma", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/995749b249373d88528eca173b29dc4d2d8e77da.png", "website": "https://www.joincarma.com/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Carma is building an AI-native platform that transforms fleet operations from tedious, manual work into effortless, automated workflows.\r\n\r\nWe’re the fastest-growing company in fleet management software.

Based on recent industry statistics, service centers overcharge fleets 85% of the time, leaving fleets overpaying an average of 68% more than what they actually should based on the fair cost of service. The worst part: there’s not much the average fleet management team can do – most fleets rely on minimal spares and don’t have the time to price shop for quotes. 80% of fleet managers don’t know what fair auto repair pricing looks like for non-routine repairs.\n\n**💲The Solution: Carma**\n\nCarma gets fleets prioritized same-day service offers with guaranteed, locked-in pricing. Fleet managers request any service they need through Carma, which we send to our highly rated and vetted local service center Partner Centers, who respond with real-time offers. Fleet can compare multiple same-day service offers in just 60 seconds or less. Carma handles the transaction with zero fees – no marked-up prices or “convenience” charges – you pay the service center’s in-store price or better.\n\nFleets save upwards of 50% when they use Carma vs. the median price for the same service in their zip code. It takes just 30 seconds to add a car to your profile and request service.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76596&key=user_uploads/1377569/179a2ad1-4d43-4195-8951-dcba9afe1f1c)\n\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦**Meet the TEAM**\n\nWe are setting a new standard in automotive service to make pricing transparent and the entire process hassle-free.\n\nCarma was founded by a team of automotive experts with deep technical domain expertise from the most prominent industry leaders, with a combined 120+ years of experience in the automotive service industry:\n\n* [**Muhammad Alasgarli**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/muhammadalasgarli/) **- Co-Founder & CEO.** Previously, Muhammad worked in investment banking (M&A/Restructuring) in NYC where he executed mega-cap mergers & acquisitions for publicly traded auto-tech companies, automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and related auto service providers.

We’re [Philip](https://linkedin.com/in/philipkoenig), [Kyle](https://linkedin.com/in/kyle-manuel-franz-7a4351a8), and [Daniel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dcervoni/) from [CommodityAI](https://commodityai.io/). We are building a platform for commodity traders to manage their shipments.\n\n**tl;dr** CommodityAI makes it easy for commodity trading companies to manage their shipments. One of the largest sugar traders uses our product to classify over a million documents, extract relevant fields from them, and organize them by shipment. They also use us to execute shipment-related workflows, like sending shipment status updates and generating vessel nominations.\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nShipping commodities requires a company to manage \\~200 processes and over 50 documents. Now imagine you're managing thousands of shipments a month, and tens of thousands in a year. As a result, a trading company’s workforce spends \\~70% of their day on admin and 40% of operating costs are allocated to labor. Almost all of our customer calls have had one thing in common: the trader or operations person can recall a time in the past 6 months when a document or process error resulted in the firm losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.\n\nThese processes also differ between customers. In other words, no 2 customers run their commodity trading operations the exact same way. This makes it difficult to build a one-size-fits-all solution without being intimately familiar with the space and the nuances of these shipments.\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nWe’ve built AI, automation, and collaborative tools built specifically for commodities trading. Our customers use CommodityAI to manage thousands of shipments and process millions of shipment-related documents. This includes classifying them, extracting relevant fields, and organizing them. They also use our platform to automate a series of time-consuming, related tasks that they do in their day-to-day, such as tracking vessels, generating vessel nominations, and sending real-time updates to their counterparty.\n\n**Document Processing Workflow: Classify, Extract data, create shipment**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79344&key=user_uploads/1800705/47492cb6-5514-42b8-97ea-03ad19cad07e)\n\n**Track and Send Shipment Status Updates**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79344&key=user_uploads/1800705/524a9171-3d63-42a0-8a14-d5360ecda593)\n\nOur goal is to ultimately take the number of manual processes within a commodities shipment down to 0, transforming the way commodity trading companies manage their operations.\n\n# **Ask**\n\nWe know there aren’t too many commodity trading companies probably checking YC every day, but we do know many founders worked as traders or know traders from previous work experience!

These inaccuracies lead to poor budgeting decisions, loan rejections, failed fundraising, non-compliance, and frequent cash flow crises.\n\n😍 **OUR SOLUTION:** A powerful AI accounting agent built specifically for companies selling physical products.\n\nOur platform automates bookkeeping and completes a variety of crucial product operations tasks such as calculating COGS, optimizing POs, and conducting contribution margin analysis with only a few clicks.\n\nAll financial and inventory data is connected and written back to QBO or your ERP, eliminating financial statement errors, saving dozens of hours per month, and thousands on accounting costs.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82712&key=user_uploads/505183/56544b6d-0310-4c0e-a398-09bdb3945f94)\n\n💡 **THE INSPIRATION:** As the founder of Robin Golf, [Peter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marler/) encountered this problem frequently. Doing the financials required an expensive team and the books were always inexplicably wrong. As as a result, the company was underwritten for debt and equity incorrectly, wasn’t able to make proper budgeting decisions, couldn’t forecast inventory needs, couldn’t optimize channel mix, and was blindsided by cash shortfalls.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82712&key=user_uploads/505183/46551b06-df3e-4d8c-bc8e-46a92a333bf8)\n\n👬 **THE TEAM**: [**Peter Marler**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marler/) (CEO) was the co-founder/CEO of Robin Golf, a venture backed, multichannel golf equipment company. Prior to that he held roles at Facebook, Quantifind, and NBCUniversal. He is a graduate of Stanford GSB.\n\n[**Zach Yellin-Flaherty**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-yellin-flaherty/) (CTO) previously built payments infrastructure at Stripe and Index.

Genie also knows that kids should have time off of their screens and be active out in the world. When there is available screen time, we built Genie to be engaging and creative.\n\n**Learn**\\\nThe internet is an incredible wealth of knowledge and information, but browsers are binary about whether a kid has access to everything… or nothing.

[**Drillbit**](https://www.drillbit.com) automates all of it. We use AI receptionists and an LLM based quoting tool on top of our own CRM to entirely manage jobs from lead, to quote, to scheduling, to staffing, and finally payment.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82558&key=user_uploads/1549700/acbc535d-4709-4176-a54f-8fe50c23a170)\n\n### **Problem🚨**\n\nResidential contractors provide a critical service to our economy: building and maintaining the supply of housing. Unfortunately, those businesses are still operated in an incredibly manual way. Across the U.S., we spend about $675B/year on simple home maintenance. A significant portion of that cost is attributed to the office work involved with finding, coordinating, and managing those small jobs. Business owners need to (and prefer to) remain focused on the real work instead of non-value-driving efforts.\n\n### **Solution 🏗️**\n\n[**Drillbit**](https://www.drillbit.com) allows contractors to be entirely hands-off, enabling them to focus 100% of their time on their core business. We have built AI receptionists that can coordinate with businesses and homeowners at every stage in the process. The receptionists then work with our AI estimators to provide quotes. Together, they are able to use our CRM, project management, and payment solutions to store updates and take action throughout the process.\n\n### **Landscape ⛰️**\n\nPlatforms that have come before us were able to move service business operations from texting and emailing over to CRMs and project management solutions, but they suffer from massive churn rates. Owners we have spoken with have consistently voiced the feeling that they were “babysitting” the tool. All of that “homework” they had to do entirely undermined the value of the solution in their eyes, and so, most users would abandon the platform. Rather than expecting our users to change their behavior - ie. start using technology that they would rather not be interacting with - we have met them where they are by handling the job coordination in a way that feels familiar to them: offering the ability to talk to your “employees” on the phone like you would a real person, and having those “employees” be able to engage with homeowners over the phone like real people would too.\n\n### **Team 👷👷‍♂️**\n\n[**Alex**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aseutin) (Stanford CS / AI) spent the first part of his career developing applied AI solutions at SpaceX, Apple, and Rivian. After some time developing robots for industrial construction projects, Alex found a passion for hands-on work and spent a few years renovating old homes and airstreams. During that time, Alex became intimately familiar with the pain points in the construction and home service industries and realized how much of a need there was for better, more automated software. At that point, he decided to merge his passions and set out to build [**Drillbit**](https://www.drillbit.com) to support the folks maintaining America's housing.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=82558&key=user_uploads/1549700/69e0cd13-9458-4048-b7b6-62938dffa061)\n\n### **Ask 🙏**\n\nThe platform has been built, and now we are looking to drive revenue.

We’ve solved support tickets, managed accounts, built cross-country/continent teams and created entire playbooks and processes of how world-class CX teams should interact and support customers across the globe in our previous employers at Revolut, Confluent, Navan, Meta, Amazon.\n\n| The Problem |\n\nCreating a culture of operational excellence, overachieving, and top performance is one of the toughest challenges every company and leadership team face.\n\nEspecially in CX, every customer interaction can make or break that customer trust and turn into a nightmare or opportunity. There’s two sides to this problem. Lack of visibility and time to action.\n\nWe solved the first half during our S24 batch when we released our AI QA tool for CX teams that allows companies to monitor up to 100% and the most important samples of their customer interactions. Moving onto the second half, CX and Learning & Development managers spend 15+ hours per week building performance improvement material, aligning resources, and ensuring agents, CSMs, and adjacent CS Ops teams are well trained and prepared. Through role plays, shadowing, piecing together training material, reiterating, and updating the relevant resources - all critical activities yet still remain highly manual, unscalable, and more often than not outdated and simplistic. 2 out of 3 customers churn after a single negative support interaction. Training and coaching is more often than not limited, reactive, time-consuming, and inconsistent.\n\n| The Solution |\n\nRealistic Simulations: Agents practise on challenging, real-life scenarios (based on past tickets) in a safe environment. Low stakes, high gains!\n\nAutomated Scoring: Every interaction is measured against your org’s policies & playbooks, with unlimited tries and clear graduation paths. No more guesswork, team members get instant and clear feedback.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94385&key=user_uploads/1341483/db13b953-549f-4336-95a6-c394e5de273b)\n\nTargeted Coaching: Managers instantly see who needs help and where, cutting wasted training time.

We decided to build Intryc with the mission to centralize and automate the repetitive, error-prone, and manual tasks in the Support QA process to free up the time of CX teams so they can focus on what really matters to them - their customers and business goals.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82343&key=user_uploads/89898/63e0ef63-8615-4520-b36e-bcabccfdad58)\n\n**tl;dr**\n\n[Intryc](https://intryc.com/) uses AI to automate Quality Assurance for customer support. Customers like [Deel.com](http://deel.com) centralize and automate parts of their Quality Assurance on Intryc to ensure agent compliance, double QA productivity, reduce costs by 50%, and prevent negative customer interactions while collecting actionable product and customer insights.\n\n**The Problem**\n\nQuality assurance for customer support is vital in regulated sectors like banking and utilities. Millions of customer inquiries must be handled and evaluated consistently and accurately to avoid regulatory non-compliance and brand reputation damage. This process is typically run manually by internal teams that still rely on outdated systems or spreadsheets to review and evaluate customer interactions. Even the most efficient QA teams can evaluate less than 5% of total tickets, leaving millions of interactions unreviewed and risking regulatory compliance, reputation damage, and increased customer churn.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82343&key=user_uploads/1341483/44a793a2-2c70-4389-ab09-8970eaaf7e7a)\n\n**The Solution**\n\nIntryc’s AI-powered solution automates the manual, repetitive, and error-prone tasks of the QA process, integrates with knowledge bases and data sources, such as help desks and CRM systems, to streamline the entire process end-to-end and allows organisations to scale their Support QA, without the scaling costs!\n\n\n\n**What Intryc offers:**\n\n* **Automated Intelligent Sampling**\n * Automate your sampling and workload distribution to ensure an optimal ratio of QA specialists to sampled tickets, minimising idle QA time.\n * Create targeted customer ticket samples with AI based on sentiment, keywords, or other custom rules.\n* **Dynamic Workload Distribution**\n * Create hybrid or fully automated AI evaluation workloads to double your team’s productivity.\n* **Custom Scorecards and Unlimited Coverage**\n * Optimize your scorecards with customized criteria based on internal playbooks, knowledge bases, or evaluation repositories.\n * Score up to 100% of your tickets with AI without a single human involved, or try AI vs human A/B testing, and override AI evaluations when required.\n * Get AI-generated ticket and agent evaluation summaries.\n* **Tailored Agent Coaching**\n * Get AI-generated summaries of underperforming agents based on scorecard ratings and provide tailored coaching to each agent.\n* **Extensive reporting**\n * AI generated insights based on key topics, product areas, or customer service from your entire ticket base.\n * Real-time ticket evaluations and agent performance summaries for management.\n\n**👋 Ask: How you can help**\n\n* Support us on [here](https://www.linkedin.com/company/intryc/) on socials!\n* Connect us to COOs or Customer Support/Experience/Operational leaders in your network at [alex@intryc.com](mailto:alex@intryc.com).\n* Give us product feedback as a company leader who cares about their customers’ experience and supports the team’s performance.

But spotting these opportunities and claiming the cash you’re owed is time-consuming and confusing. Industries subject to such policies include retail, airlines, hotels, technology, and even the government.\n\n# Our Solution 💸\n\nWe're building AI that connects to your email inbox to: scan your e-receipts, identify opportunities to get you dollars, and automatically claim them by contacting customer service via email, phone, forms, or chat.\n\nWe started by automating refunds in the shopping industry and have secured $6,650, growing **233% MoM**. With AI, we've been able to generalize that same automation to tackle refunds in the flight industry and the class-action lawsuit landscape. That’s when we understood why this had never been done before…\n\n# Why now? 🚨\n\nAI enables us, for the first time, to automatically:\n\n1. **Reason about unstructured data at scale**\n2. **Handle complex, nuanced customer service interactions**\n\n \n\nGeneralizing securing refunds from one industry to all industries turns each step of the process into an unstructured data processing problem. For example, having a parser that can only understand Cotsco receipts and a scraper that can only read the price from the Costco website is not enough anymore: you need a parser that can understand changing receipts from all enterprises and a scraper that can read information from any website. The ability to reason about unstructured data at scale replaces the rigid, static software, solving the issue.\n\n### In short, PAP! represents an opportunity to finally realize the dream customer journey — sign up once, forget we exist, and earn money effortlessly.\n\n# Our Team 👨‍👨‍👦\n\n* [Weijie](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wjwang2/) (CTO) spent 6 years in e-commerce and was the lead infra engineer for Wish’s recommendation system, the product that fueled their IPO.

Over the past 3 months, we’ve worked with CX and Ops teams from small 10-seat groups to global BPOs with over 100,000 agents studying how they operate and helping reduce average handle time (AHT) while staying compliant and reducing violations.\n\n# **The problem today**\n\nQA is a lagging indicator.\n\nLevel 2 and 3 CX agents manage the most complex issues but are forced to navigate multiple tools, chase missing context, and follow detailed processes from memory, live, under pressure. When mistakes happen, they’re often only caught in post-call QA reviews, long after the damage is done\n\nToday, we’re launching [Beam](https://rulebase.co/beam) the first CX copilot with perfect recall and real-time coaching, built to improve NPS, reduce AHT, and cut down compliance violations.\n\n\n\n### Let me give you a typical scenario we see all the time:\n\nYou’re a fintech or work in a regulated industry. You’ve hired an offshore CX team say 50 agents and 5 QA specialists to make sure all your protocols are being followed and agents are being coached. Now over the last few months:\n\n* AHT has increased leading to you hiring more CX seats.\n* Compliance violations are rising from PCI breaches and you are facing more customer complaints.\n* Customer authentication has been skipped in some cases, leading to instances of fraud.\n* QA can’t manually review every call, and when issues are caught, it’s often days too late to fix them\n\n# **With Beam:**\n\n* Agents get real-time coaching on all protocols and compliance requirements\n* Violations are instantly flagged\n* Agents have perfect recall, including customer sentiment from past conversations\n* QA runs in real time, with auto-generated reports and continuous coaching\n* Fraud detection is built-in, blocking bad actors before they get through.\n\n\\\nIf any of the above sounds relevant to your team, we’re offering **YC companies their first 2 months free for up to 50 agents**.

Our engineering copilot predicts and prevents machine failures in real-time by solving problems the same way an engineer would. This results in proactive maintenance which helps prevent unplanned downtimes and quality defects.\n\n[Launch Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ41WG_X8pw):\n\n# The Problem\n\nWe have over 10 years of experience working in the manufacturing industry between the two of us. During that time we have noticed that manufacturing engineers are constantly being pulled in every direction due to production issues popping up in multiple parts of the plant. \n\nThis reactive approach results in:\n\n* Large amounts of unplanned downtime, resulting in lost throughput\n* Unnecessary wear and tear on expensive manufacturing machinery\n* Quality defects requiring non-value add rework prior to customer delivery\n\nFrom unplanned downtimes alone, US manufacturers lose over **$50 billion dollars per year**. \\\n\\\nUnfortunately, existing solutions are:\n\n* Complex and required large amounts of data science/computer science knowledge\n* Focused on dashboarding and KPI metrics\n* Extremely costly to implement and maintain\n* Not tailored for manufacturing use cases\n\n# The Solution\n\nPraxis AI provides manufacturing engineers with an end-to-end solution for identifying and root-causing machine issues by following a 5-step reasoning process. This mimics exactly how an engineer would solve an issue in the real world. Our platforms core competencies include:\n\n1. **SOTA AI architectures for manufacturing** - Our models have been specifically designed to work with time series data coming from the manufacturing shop floor.\n2. **No code tools for manufacturing engineers** - The Praxis AI platform can be used without ever touching a Jupyter notebook.\n3. **Explainable AI for root cause analysis** - Our UI gives users full visibility into the reasoning behind the output of our models, and our copilot Max.e.\n4. **Operationalized machine learning models** - Praxis ensures that every model that is built is able to be utilized every single day to drive actual changes on the shop-floor. It's not just a pretty dashboard to look at.\n\nThe Praxis platform provides the tools needed for engineers to make changes on their shop-floor which can lead to reductions in unplanned downtimes, reduced scrap/waste, improvements on the efficiency of their machines, and so much more. We’ve built the platform in a way that as we continue to work with more customers, we will be able to encompass more and more use cases. We’ve already begun preliminary work on adding production order optimization and maintenance backlog management to our solution suite. \n\n# The Team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85869&key=user_uploads/2229645/e65c1855-0e3c-4b5a-9014-22f633580153)\n\nWe have been working in the manufacturing industry for our entire professional career, and are extremely passionate about being on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology.\n\nRansika has worked at multiple manufacturing companies like GM, Tesla, and Rockwell Automation. During this time he has worked a variety of foundational manufacturing roles like manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, controls engineer, and production planner. During this time he managed multiple projects building and implementing various digital manufacturing projects globally which resulted in millions of dollars in cost savings per year. For the last two years he has been working at Deloitte as a product lead for Deloitte’s Intelligent Ops platform.\n\nAditya worked at Palantir for three years, ending his career there as a technical lead. During this time he specialized in converting pilots in the manufacturing vertical with a 100% success rate and a TCV of over $15 million dollars. Aditya has had a passion for ML/AI in manufacturing since early college, first excelling in the space by building a predictive model for General Motors and winning first in a data challenge of over 50 teams of PhD and masters students.\n\n# Our Ask\n\nIf you are interested in testing our solution out, we would love to be in touch to do a free factory assessment! We are looking to test our solution in a variety of different manufacturing environments, but have a particular affinity to continuous processes that can be found at paper mills, oil refineries, and chemical plants.

Teams waste countless hours sifting through logs, missing the signals that matter most. Meanwhile, costs escalate as volumes grow, and early decisions limit vendor flexibility. We realized the problem wasn't just about collecting logs but in really understanding them.\n\nFrustrated by these limitations, our mission for Sift became clear: create an anti-logging platform that gives developers control over their data while unlocking its true potential.\n\n## **Sift through your data, intelligently**\n\n\n\nSift is designed to flip the script on traditional logging. We’re not here to simply collect logs; we’re here to transform them into actionable intelligence that empowers developers and drives smarter decision-making.\n\n1. **Profile, analyze, and continuously optimize** your logging data to find meaningful patterns without digging through mountains of information.\n2. **Send your logs** exactly where they need to go, integrating right into your existing tooling\n3. **Format and manage** your log volume precisely to focus on the information that matters most.\n\n## **How Sift Works**\n\n**Quick Setup:** Launch Sift with minimal configuration—start sending data in minutes.\n\n**Seamless Integration:** Connect effortlessly with your existing logging infrastructure, with support for over 40 different integrations\n\n**Dynamic Adaptation:** Our system continuously learns from your logs, optimizing rules and suggesting smart routing—like sending low-value logs to cost-effective storage solutions.\n\n## **Reach out to the team**\n\n[founders@runsift.com](mailto:founders@trysift.dev)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88040&key=user_uploads/1036135/00bd588b-9f2c-4252-988b-b6530123283f)\n\nIshir (CEO): ex-Splunk engineering, ex-IMC Trading, ex-Penn M&T\n\nKaushik (CTO): ex-Datadog PM, ex-EY Parthenon, previous founder & hackathon addict, 2x early engineer, ex-Penn M&T", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Mu0-sift-the-anti-logging-platform", "votes": 464, "created_at": "2025-02-25T22:49:34.958Z" } ] }, { "id": 30243, "name": "Cifrato", "slug": "cifrato", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0bb4c15c8e630dcffec655f29ad07b101afe03c5.png", "website": "https://cifrato.ai", "all_locations": "Bogotá, Bogota, Colombia; Remote", "long_description": "End-to-end accounting workflows executed by AI agents.\r\n- Invoice capture + upload to ERP/POS\r\n- Invoice payment + reconciliation\r\n- Tax filings\r\n- CFO insights on demand", "one_liner": "AI Accountant for Accounting Firms", "team_size": 17, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Operations", "launched_at": 1751513280, "tags": [ "FinOps", "SaaS", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2025", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Operations" ], "regions": [ "Colombia", "Latin America", "Remote", "Fully Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/cifrato", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2025/cifrato.json", "year_founded": 2025, "city": "Bogotá", "country": "CO", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/cifrato", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0bb4c15c8e630dcffec655f29ad07b101afe03c5.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Harj Taggar", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/harj-taggar" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 951645, "full_name": "Juan Pisco", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Building the AI Accounting Agent for Accounting Firms.

We are raising to enable the P&L of knowledge work (link below).\n\n\\\nMost companies can tell you what they spend on AI. Almost none can tell you what came back. \n\nAutostep is a desktop app that installs across a company and maps real work. It finds repeated tasks, bottlenecks, waiting, and admin loops, then ranks them by cost and impact.\n\n\\\nFrom there, Autostep helps decide what should happen next: build an agent, change the process, standardize the workflow, or use software the company already pays for.\n\n\\\nProduct video: \n\nThe problem we are solving:\n\n* The blocker for AI adoption is proof and discovery. Before rollout, teams need the workflow to target and the capacity returned after the fix.\n* They still struggle to answer the board-level question: Did this return results? Autostep answers that from the work itself.\n\n\\\nHow it works:\n\n1. Install once across the org. No integrations\n2. Discover the cost of human & agent tasks.\n3. Measure Human ROI: where people lose time and how much capacity can come back.\n4. Measure Agent ROI: which AI workflows earn their cost and which burn money.\n5. Act: remove the step, standardize it, route it to the right tool, or build the agent.\n\nThe long-term bet is that Autostep becomes the system of record for work: the layer a company uses to see capacity, measure AI payoff, and eventually pay people for working smarter. This is different than automating a bad process faster.\n\n\\\nWe are already working with companies that have the same pain: leaders want AI to work, and operators need the scorecard before they add one more workflow to manage.\n\n\\\nOur ask:\n\n* If you know a COO, CFO, ops leader, or founder trying to prove whether AI is paying back, we would love an intro.\n* If you build agents or workflow automation products, let's talk.

Autostep is a desktop app that installs across your organization to surface repetitive, high-cost tasks that fly under the radar. We rank them by cost and impact so you know what's worth automating, then build or find the right fix - whether that's an AI agent, a process change, or an existing tool.\n\n**Product:** \n\n**The Problem**\n\nThe bottleneck isn't tooling anymore, it's discovery. Without visibility into what people actually do all day, automation efforts are shots in the dark. Autostep is the layer that makes agent deployment rational instead of random.\n\nAutomation vendors start with the solution and hope you know the problem. We start with the problem.\n\n**Why Now**\n\nThe AI agent market is exploding, but adoption is stalling because there's no way to map operations at the level agents actually need. Autostep is the operational intelligence layer that every company will need before they can meaningfully deploy agents. We're not competing with agent builders - we're the prerequisite.\n\n**Compounding Context**\n\nThe tooling landscape shifts every month - new agents, new platforms, new vendors - and no team feels like they can keep up. Autostep gives you a living map of your operations, so you're not chasing the next tool. You're building compounding context about how your company actually works. When better AI arrives, you're ready to use the latest - not starting over. You stay ahead of competitors.\n\nThis is for those who want visibility into what their teams actually do - and agents that fit the work, not work that fits the agents.\n\n**Backstory**\n\nI’m Aidan. I studied ML and CS at Georgia Tech and have been building and shipping products since I was a kid. I’ve also spent the past 6 years working on automation-based products that led to this moment. Working at seed to Series A startups with strong PMF, I saw the same pattern over and over: companies wanted to automate but had no systematic way to figure out what was actually worth automating. That discovery gap is what Autostep solves.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nIf you know any operations leaders or C-suite/leadership at companies who want visibility into what their teams are actually doing before throwing AI at the problem - we'd love an intro.\n\n**Book a demo: [https://calendly.com/aidan\\_/autostep](https://calendly.com/aidan_/autostep)**\n\nReach me, shoot an intro, or ask questions: 📧 [aidan@autostep.ai](mailto:aidan@autostep.ai)\n\nP.S.\n\n**Landing page (Just updated)**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98260&key=user_uploads/403669/2cafa97a-22cb-475d-9d2d-b9d275fd4206)\n\n**Tasks**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98260&key=user_uploads/403669/abdeeff0-e4ee-48a8-82e2-c1e2724d11c3)\n\n**Recommendations**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98260&key=user_uploads/403669/2f117d23-2aaa-4f5e-bdd8-7d6a4f1dd7e6)\n\nLooking forward to making everyone auto-agentic,\n\n\\-A", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PYq-autostep-uncover-repetitive-tasks-ready-for-ai", "votes": 33, "created_at": "2026-02-27T15:57:49.783Z" } ] }, { "id": 30475, "name": "Morphik", "slug": "morphik", "former_names": [ "DataBridge" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1a260c523f9c222814023a16c76c6a2b22616cd5.png", "website": "https://morphik.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Morphik helps Skilled Nursing and Senior Living organizations increase their NOI by automating repetitive manual tasks like AP, billing and collections, nurse admin work.

Text‑only RAG misses details, hallucinates, and provides half-baked responses.\n* **Solution:** Morphik embeds whole pages (image + text, no OCR), auto‑builds a knowledge graph, and serves it through a UI, SDK, or REST API. We have 90 % accuracy on arXiv QA (and we can fine-tune for your use case 🙂).\n\nWatch our demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3adZQhm5JZY\n\n### **Problem**\n\nRAG breaks the moment documents stop being blobs of text.\n\n* Knowledge workers spend a lot of their time (people we spoke with said 50-70% time just in the research phase). eg. electrical engineers finding perfect PCB spec, pharma companies trying to search ELNs for similar experiments.\n* 80% of enterprise knowledge lives in diagrams, tables, images, CAD, scanned pdfs, not .txt.\n* “Multimodal” models still hallucinate or miss key context because the retrieval step sees only text, or they rely on tools to retrieve diagrams, or context. (https://docs.morphik.ai/blogs/gpt-vs-morphik-multimodal)\n* Teams glue together OCR, vector DBs, and regex‑heavy ETL that becomes a brittle monstrosity.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nDirectly embedding and search over page images\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdzvQJeEBmnvZI1Mkl2ZYCtsN0AG4Mx5JpcN4RtivMfndGshgTkj1uZcb8BkFAkXXNCpg9TPqeIKsqCXscaLzGDNO2e8TFn8naJPkJ_XtceDHlwNrAAcV69QGYlzSOwvdofI7FksQ?key=wmYsqYRKzN1ploJFaFpgwCeu)\n\nWhen you ingest in Morphik, in addition to OCR, we create direct embeddings for the image of a page (or frames in a video). When you ask “Colpali comparison to standard RAG”, the LLM sees the actual page image, so multimodal models can reason over arrows, labels, scales, and colours just like a human.\n\n### **Rules Engine**\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcOXXa3wTpZV26zi8kaucVOt2QuUgKKfrdvlyqlFfeHmDUudWpNaS-r6KNm5--4Joz4rE5tsiu_NDqlHnRE914l7ad4YtKRRLc_X1gm7BteBR0aMN446aia7LGA1l7b2UJMor97?key=wmYsqYRKzN1ploJFaFpgwCeu)\n\nWhen ingesting, you can define rules for data extraction (which would again consider tables, diagrams), or define natural language rules for PII redaction, or content transformation.\n\n### **Deployment ready, scalable**\n\nMorphik comes built in with folder scoping, end user scoping, GPU accelerations, and fine grained permissions, so you can prototype and deploy with enterprise grade features. It’s end‑to‑end, so you don’t scramble to make duct tape fixes.\n\n### **One more thing…Morphik Research Agent**\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcL9LvkrH861vRDhuFlYlBy0LsjlhMOYVBLRLdnj903G5L3QMgx12ziGZJhO_h2SzAakjD27e0Yeu4XZwmsE4Yv1BGNRj-OGc41i798xy_UW9MVHISzJy0GBrTsOWWqWBGdtGKhmg?key=wmYsqYRKzN1ploJFaFpgwCeu)\n\nOur research agent uses Morphik’s retrieval, graph, and extraction APIs as tools. It chains them automatically, jumping from doc to doc, node to node, seeing figures, till it finds the needle in the haystack, or has enough context to answer your questions. “Describe the third pin on the USBC21 diagram” will get the diagram, find the pin, jump to the table with pin descriptions, jump to page 13 to “find more details on page 13”.\n\n### **Why we might be interesting to you**\n\n* Building an internal ChatGPT over messy manuals? Morphik is the fastest way to ship something users _trust_.\n* Developing an AI product? Swap your vector‑DB‑plus‑duct‑tape stack for a single SDK call.\n* Researching graph‑RAG? CAG? We have it all.\n\n### **Our Ask 🙏**\n\n1. **⭐ Star / watch** https://github.com/morphik-org/morphik-core – open source momentum matters.\n2. **Introductions** to teams drowning in technical docs (healthcare, manufacturing, legal, electrical engineers).\n3.

Churn risks go unnoticed, and expansion opportunities are left on the table.\n\nOur team spent months shadowing CSMs, sitting in on QBRs, and studying how accounts slip through the cracks.\n\n**The same patterns kept showing up:**\n\n* Watching healthy-looking accounts churn because no one caught the warning signs in time\n* Spending hours prepping QBRs with stale data pulled from five different tools\n* Hiring more CSMs as the only way to maintain coverage\n* Knowing the signals existed, just not having the bandwidth to act on them\n\n**Why hasn't this been solved?**\n\nBecause existing CS platforms are dashboards, not teammates. They organize data but still depend entirely on humans to monitor, interpret, and act across every account. The industry's answer to more customers has always been more headcount, which doesn't scale.\n\n**✅ Our Solution**\n\nPollen gives every customer account its own AI agent. We connect to your email, support tickets, product usage data, and external news to **detect real churn and upsell signals.**\n\nThen, Pollen flags exactly **which accounts need attention today, why, and what to do next.** Need to send a re-engagement email? Pollen drafts it. Prepping for a QBR? Pollen builds the deck. Wondering which accounts are most at risk this quarter? Just ask.\n\nNo more busy work or scaling headcount just to keep relationships alive.

Run `cast deploy` and your agent gets a secure sandbox, auto-scaling endpoint, and full observability.\n\nPublic beta is live today.\n\n\n\n---\n\n### The problem\n\nSerious agents aren’t just “call an API and done.”\n\nThey execute code, hit tools and browsers, run for minutes to hours, and touch sensitive systems. Every team ends up rebuilding the same fragile setup:\n\n* homegrown agentic harnesses\n* stitched-together sandboxes/microVMs/containers/queues\n* logs and traces scattered everywhere\n* hacky snapshots and suspect secret handling\n\nSo:\n\n* every agent needs its **own** mini-runtime\n* debugging one run is detective work\n* adding a new agent feels like starting a new infra project\n\nDeploying agents that work great locally turns into wrangling infrastructure.\n\n---\n\n### **The problem**\n\nSerious agents aren't chatbots. They execute code, call tools, touch filesystems, and run for hours. They need a computer.\n\nBut there's no good way to put them in production. You end up stitching together containers, queues, and compute layers — rebuilding the same infrastructure every team rebuilds. The agent works on your laptop. Getting it to work reliably for users takes weeks.\n\nWe hit this ourselves. We built an AI consumer app to 2M+ members while at RunPod (scaled to $100M revenue). The hardest part was never the model — it was the harness. Every time we shipped a new agent, we were rebuilding sandboxing, scaling, secrets, and monitoring from scratch.\n\n### **What we built**\n\nCastari wraps your agent in a secure sandbox and gives you back a production endpoint.\n\n```\nnpm install -g @castari/cli\ncast login\ncast deploy\n```\n\nYour agent now has:\n\n* **Secure sandbox** — full isolation. Your agent can safely execute code, use browsers, and access filesystems\n* **Auto-scaling endpoint** — scales with demand, no capacity planning\n* **Observability** — trace every tool call, decision, and output in real time\n* **Multi-model support** — Claude, OpenAI, xAI, open source. Your code stays the same\n* **Zero lock-in** — remove Castari and your agent still runs on vanilla Claude Agent SDK\n\n---\n\n### **How we're different**\n\nMost tools give you primitives — a sandbox API, a container runtime, a compute layer. You still stitch it together yourself.\n\nCastari wraps around your agent. You define it declaratively, we manage the lifecycle: provisioning, versioning, execution, scaling, teardown. You write agent logic, not infrastructure code.\n\n### **What's next**\n\n* Better tracing and observability — debug agent behavior in production, not after the fact\n* Higher sandbox concurrency limits — run more agents in parallel\n* Forever-running sandboxes — agents that stay alive indefinitely\n\n---\n\n### Why we’re working on this\n\nWhile I was leading the FDE team at RunPod:\n\n* Built and shipped AI infrastructure and agents for **Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups**\n* Watched the same loop repeat: agent works in a notebook → weeks disappear into infra glue → nobody trusts the system, production release gets delayed (over and over again).\n\nAdditionally, while [@Cambree Bernkopf](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1372064) and I scaled our AI consumer app to 2m+ users, our biggest issues were getting our agents to work reliably in production.\n\nThe pattern is clear: **agents deserve a first-class runtime, the way frontends got one.**\n\nCastari is our bet that:\n\n* Sandboxing & safety should be built-in, not bolted on\n* Going from “prototype” to “production-safe” should be one config file, not a quarter-long project\n* AI teams should ship agents, not infrastructure.\n\n---\n\n### Try it\n\nDocs: [docs.castari.com](http://docs.castari.com)\n\nWebsite: [castari.com](http://castari.com)\n\nCLI: `npm install -g @castari/cli`\n\nOr email [jacob@castari.com](mailto:jacob@castari.com) — happy to get you deployed.\n\n— Jacob & Cambree\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97921&key=user_uploads/1070542/1e7ef564-ad96-4b4e-aa0e-80212ee05604)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PTN-castari-the-runtime-for-agents-that-need-a-computer", "votes": 5, "created_at": "2026-02-17T23:23:56.820Z" }, { "id": 95573, "title": "Castari - Vercel for AI Agents", "tagline": "Deploy your sandboxed agents with Castari", "body": "Hey!

Drop in a config file → get a production runtime**\n\nIn your Claude Agent SDK repo:\n\n* Add a `castari.yaml` (entrypoint, tools, env vars)\n* Run `castari deploy`\n\nThat’s it. Your agent is now running in a secure sandbox with an endpoint, UI, and observability.\n\nWhether that agent is:\n\n* an **internal system** your team uses\n* a **customer-facing agent** that _is_ your product\n\nthe deployment workflow is identical and boring (in the good way).\n\n#### **2. Sandboxing & safety, built-in**\n\n* Every run executes in an isolated sandbox designed for tool-using agents\n* You design the behavior; we handle isolation and scaling\n* No more duct-taping together sandbox primitives for specific tools\n\n**Bottom line:** You keep building on **Claude Agent SDK** the way you already are — for internal workflows or core products. Castari turns that into a safe, observable, production-ready runtime.\n\n### Why Castari is different\n\n**E2B, Modal, Daytona, Cloudflare** (and friends) give you powerful sandbox and compute primitives.\n\n**Castari sits one layer up:**\n\nCastari wraps around your Claude Agent SDK-based agents so you can define them declaratively and run them in secure sandboxes, without owning the underlying sandbox lifecycle.\n\n* **Agent-first semantics**: runs, sessions, tools, snapshots are native concepts we manage.\n* **Zero framework lock-in**: remove Castari and your agent still runs on vanilla Claude Agent SDK; keep Castari and your infra team gets its life back.\n* **Focused start**: deeply integrated with **Claude Agent SDK** today, with the same “drop-in config” experience coming to other frameworks next.\n\nWe’re building the runtime we wish existed for agents.\n\n### Why we’re working on this\n\nWhile I was leading the FDE team at RunPod:\n\n* Built and shipped AI infrastructure and agents for **Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups**\n* Watched the same loop repeat: agent works in a notebook → weeks disappear into infra glue → nobody trusts the system, production release gets delayed (over and over again).\n\nAdditionally, while [**@Cambree Bernkopf**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1372064) and I scaled our AI consumer app to 2m+ members, our biggest issues were getting our agents to work reliably in production.\n\nThe pattern is clear: **agents deserve a first-class runtime, the way frontends got one.**\n\nCastari is our bet that:\n\n* Sandboxing & safety should be built-in, not bolted on\n* Going from “prototype” to “production-safe” should be one config file, not a quarter-long project\n* AI teams should ship agents, not infrastructure.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95573&key=user_uploads/1070542/5fbe422a-1cc4-49e3-95ce-8740164b600e)\n\n### Ask: early pilot access\n\nWe are opening a limited pilot for:\n\n* Teams building internal agents who need a safer, more reliable runtime\n* Companies building agent centric products that need to run in production without bespoke infra\n\nIf that is you and you are tired of wrestling with sandboxes, observability, and brittle tooling:\n\n→ Email [**jacob@castari.com**](mailto:jacob@castari.com) with subject “Castari Pilot” and 2 to 3 sentences about your agent stack and use case.\\\n→ Check out our open source repo for using any model with Claude Agent SDK on [GitHub](https://github.com/castar-ventures/castari-proxy).\\\n→ Join the waitlist on [**castari.com**](http://castari.com) to hear about our first releases.\n\nJacob, Cambree, and the Castari team", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OrV-castari-vercel-for-ai-agents", "votes": 20, "created_at": "2025-11-17T20:28:20.453Z" } ] }, { "id": 31005, "name": "MarkIt", "slug": "markit", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/39b63a988d2773d1a5c1037f6450dfbc78231218.png", "website": "https://markittrade.com", "all_locations": "Atlanta, GA, USA", "long_description": "MarkIt is an AI-powered regulatory compliance platform that helps consumer brands launch products in new markets.

As a result, most ops teams still rely on manual processes, even for repetitive, predictable tasks.\n\nThis slows teams down and makes it harder to scale operations without scaling headcount.\n\n**OUR SOLUTION** 👷\n\nDemo: \n\nBubble Lab lets you deploy Pearl, your ops super-employee, directly into Slack in under a minute.\n\nWe’re already powering 4,000+ operators and fast-moving teams.\n\nPearl connects securely to your tools— Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Stripe, Google Workspace, and more—and can take action on your behalf. Teams use Pearl to:\n\n* Update HubSpot automatically after sales calls\n* Create Jira tickets from user feedback\n* Generate daily pipeline and revenue reports\n* Track and follow up on open invoices\n* Run operational workflows triggered directly from Slack\n\nWhen something needs to be repeated, Pearl turns it into a reliable workflow your team can run anytime.\n\nInstead of switching between tools or building custom automation infrastructure, teams can run and manage operations entirely from Slack.\n\n **OUR ASK 🙏**\n\nIf you run ops or growth at your company, we’d love to hear from you.\n\nTry Bubble Lab:[ https://bubblelab.ai](https://bubblelab.ai)\n\nWe’re especially excited to work with teams that want to automate operational workflows across their stack without engineering overhead.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PWl-bubble-lab-supercharge-your-ops-work-in-slack", "votes": 7, "created_at": "2026-02-24T14:13:32.293Z" } ] }, { "id": 31269, "name": "MochaCare", "slug": "mochacare", "former_names": [ "HelpingHome" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/8f0d0e6f741a56de1899f97dfa05142761a40372.png", "website": "https://www.mochacare.com/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "MochaCare is an agentic management service for care organizations.

These caregivers typically work with clients in their homes or in facilities.\n\nWe personally embed into the agencies we work with. Our AI hiring and scheduling agents handle most tasks for us, but we are always monitoring the feed and jumping in if emergencies arise.\n\nNick goes to bed at 3:30am and Pranav wakes up at 3:30am to guarantee 24/7 coverage.\n\n**What problem are you solving?**\n\n1. **Home care agency operators** want to deliver quality care to their communities, not to stay glued to their phones 24/7 handling hiring and scheduling. They’re burning out and are unable to grow their businesses.\n2. **Families** want reliable care. They need to know that the best caregivers are going to show up for their loved ones at the right time and need home care agencies to be energized so they can deliver their best care. Scheduling and hiring mishaps erode the quality of care and cause service failures for these families.\n3. **Caregivers** want work quickly and don’t want to deal with manual data entry. They needed their next paycheck yesterday. Our hiring agents (including AI interviewers and interview coordinators) get them through the process swiftly. Once hired, they need to know about the best shifts for them. Our scheduling agents alert them to these and help them focus more on care and less on manual tasks like shift note entry.\n\n**Why are you working on this?**\\\nWe were both raised by our grandparents who gave the world to us. We want to live in a world where they receive the same quality care and attention that they gave us growing up. Currently, there’s a gap between that world and where we are today.\n\nWe’ve seen this first-hand. Home care operations can fall short—Nick’s grandma recently started receiving home care and had no caregiver show up on day one. We don’t want this to happen again.\n\nOn the other side of the equation, we’ve seen agency owners with the largest hearts feel hopeless about their work. We want to uplift these people and allow them to reclaim their time, get back to delivering care, and start growing their agencies.\n\nBy helping agencies deliver care more effectively, we protect the superheroes who care for our communities and the people who they care for, like our grandmas!\n\n**Our ask:**\\\nIntros to home care agencies, home health agencies, or anyone who advises seniors on care options (since these people typically know home care agencies).\n\nThank you for taking the time to read this!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PZQ-mochacare-grow-your-home-care-agency-with-human-virtual-assistants-supercharged-by-ai", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2026-02-28T17:24:03.310Z" } ] }, { "id": 31372, "name": "Trellis", "slug": "trellistech", "former_names": [ "Trellis Tech", "Trellis", "trellis" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d4edc07d052fa88205fcd9e264fc066ce8d0f11f.png", "website": "https://trellistech.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Trellis is building toward a new hospitality platform: one that does not just help guests find homes, but actually operates them with agents. \r\n\r\nOur first wedge is short-term rental property managers, replacing their fragmented stack across guest messages, tasks, cleaners, maintenance, vendors, and owner updates with agents that run operations end-to-end. \r\n\r\nIn two months, we’ve grown to $500k ARR across 35 customers and 3000 listings, growing around 15% week over week, with one customer already running day-to-day operations with no human involved.", "one_liner": "Agents that run short-term rental operations end-to-end", "team_size": 5, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Operations", "launched_at": 1775519659, "tags": [], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Spring 2026", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Operations" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/trellistech", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/spring-2026/trellistech.json", "year_founded": 2026, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/trellis-str/", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/trellis-str/", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d4edc07d052fa88205fcd9e264fc066ce8d0f11f.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Nicolas Dessaigne", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/nicolas-dessaigne" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 3088252, "full_name": "Lodovico Benvenuti", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Hi, I’m Lodo.\n\nI believe the next decade of software belongs to systems that grow around you, not tools you adapt to.

Work ends up spread across 5 to 10 disconnected tools, duck-taped together by burnt-out teams, constantly firefighting issues, with information inevitably falling through the cracks.\n\nQuality drops, reviews follow, and growth stalls.\n\nThis is because managing a property is complex. Let’s say the guest calls about a broken shower. The operator has to identify the reservation in the PMS, search a separate knowledge base for context, collect photos, and create a task in another system.\n\nThen check a workforce tool for availability, reprioritize tasks, dispatch a technician, follow up with the guest, and later log costs, update accounting, and notify the homeowner. All this across 5-10 systems of record.\n\nThe core issue is simple: no software has full operation context to control operations end to end.\n\n### What we built\n\nTrellis provides AI agents that run operations across the entire stack.\n\nThe agent communicates with guests, dispatches and coordinates cleaners and maintenance, files claims and costs, and follows up until issues are fully resolved.\n\nIt connects to PMSs, messaging channels, and internal tools, but more importantly, it maintains full operational context: who the guest is, what property they’re in, what the issue is, what’s already been tried, who is available, what tasks are in progress, and what needs to happen next.\n\nInstead of passing information between tools, the agent owns the entire workflow from first message to resolution and reporting.\n\nWhen agents take over operations, execution becomes consistent and verifiable. That shifts control of the guest experience from marketplaces back to operators, who can now deliver reliable service at scale, build real brands, and own demand.\n\n### Our background\n\nBefore Trellis, Lodo built AI customer service agents for short-term rentals at Conduit (YC W24). He also scaled a property management company to \\~$2M revenue and 150+ listings. With trellis we are now running their operations with 1 person.\n\nJan spent years in the trenches of the STR industry: leading early sales at multiple AI tools for property managers, building an STR tech media platform (STR Tech Report), consulting across the space, attending 20+ industry events, and speaking with thousands of property managers along the way. That journey earned him deep trust and relationships throughout the STR world.\n\n---\n\nIf you run a property management company, we’d love to show you Trellis.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100011&key=user_uploads/3088252/1e4e4529-0d4f-433d-bb57-66119f1505da)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Q15-trellis-autonomous-agents-for-short-term-rentals", "votes": 21, "created_at": "2026-04-22T00:09:17.166Z" } ] }, { "id": 31378, "name": "GodHands", "slug": "godhands", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5ec540989c0e572731406bc02714d7608e407cc3.png", "website": "https://godhands.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "GodHands learns how your teams actually work from the apps they already use, capturing the steps, decisions and exceptions that never get written down.

None of what they know is written down.\n\nThey know how to handle the refund that doesn't fit the policy, which customer gets a call instead of an email, and which spreadsheet is actually right.\n\nSo when they leave, teams fall back on handover docs, SOPs nobody updates, and weeks of shadowing.\n\nToday's AI doesn't fix this. Agents know the internet, not how your best people work. AI knowledge tools (\"company brains\") read your docs and Slack, so they only know what someone wrote down.\n\n**✅ The solution**\n\n* **Never lose know-how when people leave.** GodHands learns how tasks get done across every app, including the steps, the decisions, and the exceptions. Nothing to integrate to start learning.\n* **Hand over work in days, not weeks.** GodHands turns that work into playbooks with sources, kept up to date, so whoever takes over does it the same way.\n* **Agents do the work.** GodHands follows those playbooks in any app, like Slack, Zendesk, Gmail, Jira, and Salesforce. Your existing agents can use them too, so your team gets hours back every week.\n* **Get new hires productive faster.** They ask GodHands how things are done and get answers from how your best people actually work, with sources.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=122209&key=user_uploads/3245390/6aa30075-0890-4e4e-b43c-3c2db71719d9)\n\nBuilt for ops, sales, and CX teams, logistics and retail operators, PE and M&A teams taking over a company, and any manager whose best person just handed in their notice.\n\n**The team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=122209&key=user_uploads/3245390/2738fb55-3098-428c-96ad-e59b216115dd)\n\n**Sai Vamshi Batchu (CEO)** was a quantitative researcher at Graviton, India's largest HFT firm.

These systems have been in place for 20 years, with millions invested in deploying and maintaining them. They work, and they're not going anywhere.\n\nAI voice agents have been built on top of cloud telephony providers, which means every solution on the market today requires the customer to already be on cloud phone systems. If you're running on-prem, you're locked out. The only option is a full migration to cloud, which typically takes 12 to 18 months, costs a fortune, and frequently fails. Meanwhile, these same companies are dealing with 30 to 40% agent attrition rates, rising labor costs, and customers who won't tolerate hold times. They want automation but they simply can't access it.\n\nThat's a massive segment of a $400B market sitting there with no solution available to them.\n\n**What we built**\n\nCallab AI is a cloud-based AI voice platform that connects directly to on-prem PBX systems via SIP trunk integration. The phone system stays exactly where it is, calls get routed to our AI agents, handled, and returned. No rip-and-replace, no migration, and we go live in one week.\n\nWe automate up to 70% of inbound call volume across use cases like call routing, appointment scheduling, order status, and customer inquiries. The hard part is the integration layer itself, which requires going deep into legacy telecom infrastructure that most teams don't want to touch. We built it to work with any telephony stack, and that's what makes this possible.\n\nWe're YC P25 and currently expanding into the US, focused on hospitality, logistics, retail chains, and property management. Healthcare and financial services are on the roadmap once we complete HIPAA compliance.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101754&key=user_uploads/1938837/5d95733e-2ac9-45b4-8f2b-5ef8a8a3b8ca)\n\n**How we got here**\n\nWe didn't set out to become the on-prem PBX company. We started building AI voice agents in the Middle East and Africa, where cloud telephony providers don't operate, SIP trunks are state-regulated, and every contact center runs legacy infrastructure. We had no choice but to build our integration layer to work directly with whatever phone system was already on the ground. After plugging into old telecom stacks, we realized the problem we solved out of necessity in MEA is the exact same problem sitting untouched in the US. The constraint that shaped our product in a harder market turned out to be a global advantage.\n\n**How you can help**\n\nIf you know anyone at a company running a legacy phone system or on-prem contact center, we'd love an intro. Hotels, restaurant groups, logistics operators, large retail, or property management are all ideal. Also happy to connect with anyone who's worked with managed service providers, value-added resellers, or sold into enterprise telecom IT.

Why companies are banging down our door:**\n\nEvery company we talk to has the same story: they bought Claude licenses for their teams but merely use it to rewrite emails. The AI transformation stalled because nobody mapped what to actually automate.\n\nThat's the real bottleneck. Not code. Context.\n\nA 800-person European media agency flew to San Francisco to meet us after realizing they'd need 4-5 months and a team of consultants just to understand their own operations.

What Ontora does for your company:**\n\nOntora deploys AI agents that interview every employee in your company -- not once, but continuously -- to map out how work actually gets done. We turn that into a living context layer that your AI agents can act on.\n\nWhat used to take a consulting firm 4 months and 50-100 manual interviews, Ontora does in days. And because interviews run continuously, your context layer never goes stale. Your organization keeps learning about itself.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102685&key=user_uploads/1178744/56b07749-ae1e-4244-9064-d1dd122baecc)\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n1. **Deploy** -- Ontora's AI agents reach out to employees across your org through async interviews, meeting them where they work\n2. **Map** -- Every interview extracts processes, decision rules, tools used, handoffs, and tribal knowledge into structured operational maps\n3. **Act** -- The living context layer feeds directly into your AI agents and automations so they have the real-world context they need to perform\n\n\n\n**3. Who's already using Ontora:**\n\n* **A PE firm in San Francisco** -- deploying Ontora across portfolio companies to drive operational efficiency at speed no consulting firm can match\n* **A major European media agency (800+ employees)** -- building their corporate memory to manage enterprise customers like Volkswagen and Bosch\n* **A 1,000-person European roll-up** -- mapping what their remote workforce actually does day-to-day to build a concrete AI automation roadmap\n* **A US facilities maintenance marketplace** -- extracting the proposal rules and customer preferences locked in their sales team's heads to build the context layer for their AI automations\n\n**4. We want to hear from you:**\n\n* If your mid-market company (200-2,000 employees) is planning AI transformation...\n* If your PE/VC firm wants to drive efficiency across portfolio companies...\n* If your company spent 6 figures on consultants to map processes...\n\n...we need to talk.\n\n[ontora.com/demo](https://ontora.com/demo)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QiD-ontora-the-discovery-layer-for-ai-transformation", "votes": 122, "created_at": "2026-06-08T17:25:40.562Z" }, { "id": 99850, "title": "Ontora - Read your company like a book", "tagline": "We interview every employee to surface what no CEO can see", "body": "We’re [Max](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnold-max/), [Leon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leon-j-iwanowitsch/) and [David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/korn-david/) co-founders of [Ontora](https://ontora.com/).\\\n\\\n**TL;DR**\\\n**Ontora is an AI agent that interviews every employee in your company to map how work actually gets done.** Most operational knowledge never gets documented, it lives in people's heads.

A machine goes down, everyone's waiting, and the person who can help is in a meeting or on another line. Half the time the answer already existed. Nobody could get to it.\n\nWhy it keeps happening:\n\n* **No computer access.** Nobody on that floor has a company login or an email address, so none of the plant's software reaches them.\n* **The answers are scattered.** An SOP in a binder, a manual on a shared drive few have permissions to, a safety procedure someone printed and taped to a wall in 2019.\n* **The best answers were never written down.** Thirty years of tribal knowledge lives in one guy's head, and when he retires it leaves with him.\n* **So the same questions get asked over and over.** Shift after shift, and every one of them costs somebody their afternoon.\n\nThere are 239,000 manufacturing plants in the US, and only 29% of the people working in them have advanced digital skills. Any tool that requires a download, a login, and training makes adoption difficult.\n\n## ✅ Our Solution\n\nWorkers text the Sidekick phone number. Problems, photos, voice memos, in any language. No app to download, no account to create, nothing to learn. Every worker on the floor already knows how to send a text, which is why adoption isn't a fight.\n\n* **Answers from your own documents.** SOPs, manuals, safety procedures, tribal knowledge. Sidekick responds in the worker's language, in seconds.\n* **Creates and routes the work order.** The issue gets logged and sent to the right person, without anyone needing a laptop.\n* **Syncs with the software you already run.** Sidekick pulls from and writes to your existing systems instead of replacing them, and integrates directly through PLC and SCADA systems so the floor and the software finally see the same thing.\n* **Captures tribal knowledge.** Every exchange builds a searchable knowledge base the company owns, so the know-how stays when the veteran leaves.\n\nHere's a full walkthrough:\n\n\n\n## 👤 The Team\n\nI'm Justin, founder and CEO.

Instead of building yet another integration, we gave Walter a login. He signs into SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Oracle the way a new hire would, works out of Teams and email like the rest of the team, and takes over the manual work no one wanted: entering purchase orders, ordering from suppliers, catching pricing errors before they ship. A purchase order that used to take 15 minutes now takes a few seconds.\n\n### **The Team**\n\n* Nikolas Keller grew up across four countries, started to cook in French, Italian and German fine dining kitchens at 18, then flew to San Francisco with a duffel bag and talked his way into a manufacturing AI startup backed by Neo & GC.\n* Lukas Postulka paid for TU Munich by living in a monastery in exchange for cleaning. Got a job at  PwC by mailing them a portfolio they never asked for. Landed a job as quant trader by scoring first on technical trial.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102405&key=user_uploads/3097279/555d91df-f392-4137-ae2a-d5816f70df7b)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nWe talked to more than 100 manufacturers and heard the same story every time. For thirty years, every vendor sold them the same fix and none of it worked.\n\n* Better integrations, cleaner APIs, a newer ERP: all sold as the answer, none of them the problem.\n* The real bottleneck was never the software. It was that a person had to sit there and operate it, one purchase order at a time.\n* So the back office stays buried in manual data entry, supplier emails, and pricing mistakes caught too late.\n\nThe work is repetitive, high volume, and expensive to staff. Every factory has it. No one has solved it.\n\n### **Our Solution**\n\nWe stopped trying to replace the software. We gave Walter a login instead.\n\nWalter logs into the systems a factory already runs (SAP, Dynamics, Oracle, Teams, Outlook and Gmail, etc.) the way a new employee would. Same screens, same buttons, no integration project, no rip and replace. He reads the orders, enters them, places supplier POs, and catches the pricing mismatch before it becomes a costly mistake. \n\nWhat used to take a back office team now runs on its own.\n\nWe start with packaging and industrial manufacturing, where the ERPs are oldest and the manual load is heaviest. The endpoint is bigger: once Walter runs the workflows, the software underneath becomes a database he operates in.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nIf any of these are you, we'd love to talk:\n\n* Manufacturers drowning in back-office data entry across SAP, Dynamics, or Oracle.\n* Operators and heads of digitization who want to see Walter run on their own ERP.\n* Anyone who knows a factory still doing this work by hand.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Qdh-walter-ai-employee-for-the-manufacturing-back-office", "votes": 60, "created_at": "2026-06-02T16:14:38.154Z" } ] }, { "id": 31511, "name": "Arzana", "slug": "arzana", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4785fcf24308f1fcad59fe3eda9fea668524c25f.png", "website": "https://www.arzana.com/", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "Arzana trains custom models on manufacturers' operational data to automate their quoting, order entry, invoicing, and other repetitive office work.

Our AI employees use that context to automate the work that follows across the systems companies already use.\n\nEvery job makes that memory richer, building the company specific context software agents use today and physical agents will need tomorrow.\n\nWe’re already working with field operations companies across Florida, Pennsylvania, and California.\n\n\n\n## The problem\n\nField operations never got their Claude Code moment.\n\nWe spent months inside HVAC companies trying to automate their back office. We built AI employees for claims, reporting, coordination, and follow ups.\n\nThey kept breaking.\n\nNot because the AI could not do the work, but because it was acting on a reality that never happened. The most important part of the operation happened on the ground and was never properly captured.\n\nA missing serial number. A photo never taken. What the technician actually found stuck in their head.\n\nYou cannot automate an alternate reality. Before AI can operate the field, the field has to become queryable.\n\n## Our Solution\n\nKebra makes field operations queryable.\n\n**Capture what happens:** Field teams document jobs through photos, voice, video, and structured workflows. Kebra checks what is missing while they are still on site.\n\n**Build the operating memory:** Every job updates a live history of sites, assets, repairs, decisions, and how the company actually works.\n\n**AI employees act on it:** They use that context to automate reports, claims, coordination, compliance, follow ups, and other back office work across the systems the company already uses.\n\n## Vision\n\nEvery job makes Kebra’s operating memory richer.\n\nToday, software agents use that context to automate field operations. Tomorrow, physical AI and robots will need the same company specific context to understand each site, asset, procedure, and history before they can work autonomously.\n\nKebra is building the context layer for field operations.\n\n## Our Ask\n\nRun or know a company with field operations where important information gets lost between the field and the office?\n\nEmail us at [founders@kebra.com](mailto:founders@kebra.com) and [book a demo](https://calendar.app.google/s1DwDxHTbxZ9w5Uq6).\\\nFollow us on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kebra-com)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/SBf-kebra-making-the-field-queryable", "votes": 13, "created_at": "2026-07-30T22:13:43.328Z" } ] }, { "id": 32161, "name": "Bernard", "slug": "bernard", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/86e6151a4772f82f25d8581efbda66f538ce4bed.png", "website": "https://bernardhq.com/", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "Bernard builds AI employees for home and commercial appliance servicers.

Bernard works across phone, text, email, warranty feeds, and existing field-service systems, carrying the job context across every surface.\n\nWe are already live in the field with some of the largest authorized service companies in the country.\n\nOur goal is simple: make the first visit the last one.\\\n\\\n\n\n### The first truck roll should not be a diagnostic visit\n\nAppliance repair is an information and inventory problem. A technician cannot simply carry washer parts. The exact appliance, model, revision, symptoms, and failure mode determine which parts might be required, and many nearly identical parts are not interchangeable.\n\nWhen that information does not come together before the appointment, the first visit becomes a diagnostic visit. The technician identifies the failure, orders the part, and returns days later to complete the repair. Customers wait longer, technicians complete fewer jobs, and servicers lose capacity and margin.\n\n### Pre-ID prepares the repair before the truck rolls\n\nWhen a customer reports that their washer will not drain, Bernard does more than book an appointment.\n\nBernard identifies the exact appliance, asks follow-up questions specific to the symptoms, and collects missing evidence from the customer. Pre-ID then combines that information with repair history, similar completed visits, manufacturer guidance, parts data, and the servicer’s own operating knowledge.\n\nBefore the visit, Bernard gives the technician a diagnosis, ranked parts, the most useful next questions, and the evidence supporting each recommendation. The office can prepare the parts, confirm they will arrive on time, and hand the technician a complete picture of the job.\n\nEvery interaction and completed repair feeds back into Bernard, turning the servicer’s daily work into shared knowledge.\n\n### Why start with the servicer?\n\nEvery appliance company makes a promise at the point of sale. The servicer is the person who ultimately has to keep that promise inside someone’s home or business.\n\nThat visit affects the customer, the retailer, the manufacturer, the warranty company, and the parts distributor. Yet the servicer coordinating it is often working across disconnected phone systems, inboxes, scheduling tools, parts catalogs, and knowledge held by a few experienced employees.\n\nWe believe that building the world’s most efficient appliance servicers will create happier customers and a more connected appliance ecosystem.\n\nBernard starts with the servicer because that is where the industry meets the physical world.\n\n### About us\n\n[Dan Katzman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dankatzman/) previously helped build Nava Benefits' strategy and operations team, working across the product and operational infrastructure required to deliver a complicated, service-heavy experience reliably, while also leading partnerships.

We're eight people with backgrounds in hotel operations, engineering, AI research, and cybersecurity.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=107463&key=user_uploads/3037509/c7720ef9-5a08-43eb-9631-4fefb2d239b6)\n\n**Ask:** Intros to hotel owners and operators who are unhappy with their PMS, and to executives and C-suite at hotel groups planning their next core system replacement. Details at the bottom. Reach us at [founders@zaplar.com](mailto:founders@zaplar.com).\n\n[Launch Video!](https://youtu.be/bpfJATRnYQM)\n\n## The problem\n\nIncumbents are bolting AI onto systems built for a different era. They provide a layer of AI to the end user, but the automations beneath it stay constrained. Their claim to use AI is correct. They just can't reason across the operation or automate work end to end.\n\nNo existing PMS or bolt-on solution gives hotels the architecture AI actually requires. And even if one did, a PMS alone still wouldn't automate hotel operations. It's one of as many as 15 systems a hotel runs, each built on a different architecture, each focused on one part of the operation, none able to act beyond its own boundaries.\n\nAI can't run a hotel if it can't understand the hotel.\n\nTo unlock the full potential of AI, a hotel has to run on a single system with a unified architecture: one that lets AI reason across the entire property, free of the boundaries integrations create and the context each one isolates behind them. Incumbents can't build this without replacing the foundation their business depends on, and they won't.\n\nWe arrived at this the slow way. Douglas's family has spent their careers running hotels, and we first built Zaplar to solve event bookings for them. In demo after demo, hotels were already evaluating another PMS, including ones that had just switched. Even leading vendors did not make a product hotels wanted to use.\n\n## The solution\n\nZaplar was built on this thesis from the start: the first truly AI-native operating system for hotels. It’s the path of most resistance, but the only way to do it right.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=107463&key=user_uploads/3037509/5a0f8f2c-bcb0-4ebc-a3e1-e2c30c80baec)\n\nZaplar spatially maps out the entire property and its resources so that AI agents can reason across the hotel and understand how everything connects. On top of this architecture sit a PMS, POS, channel manager, booking engine, guest portal, housekeeping system, and more, with no boundaries between them. The result is an autonomous system that works in the background and completes work on its own. The system surfaces suggestions for staff to review, edit, and approve.\n\nOur goal is to be vertically integrated. Beyond deeper automation and richer context, the greatest benefit is that we can put all our effort into staying at the forefront, because we're not constrained by what anyone else is doing. Major hotel groups are starting to replace their aging systems, and we intend to be the only option on the table designed for what comes after.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=107463&key=user_uploads/3037509/ad3b8b01-9f05-41f1-877e-952a35dc8e8a)\n\n## Our ask\n\n**Hotel owners and operators.** If you own or operate a hotel that is unhappy with its PMS, we would love to talk directly.\n\n**Executives and C-suite at hotel groups.** This is the intro we want most.

Agents don’t carry trust.\n\nCurrently, agents are not trusted, humans are. That’s why every AI startup nowadays does the work, and leaves judgment to a human. But this is changing, and we’re early. As new agent-centric companies grow (Instinct, Natural, AgentMail), agents become common in daily life and work, and eventually will become trusted entities \\[2\\].\n\nOnce agents are trusted, there is no reason they cannot own entire, traditionally trust-heavy industries, end-to-end.

Most firms turned away paying clients last year simply because they didn't have the people to do the work, and the talent pool keeps shrinking as accountants leave the profession faster than firms can replace them. More software hasn't fixed this — and a chatbot that summarizes a spreadsheet definitely hasn't. The parts of accounting that actually matter, like judgment, trust, and sign-off, should stay human. Everything around them shouldn't have to be a bottleneck.\n\n_Our solution_\n\nRational’s AI employees conduct interviews with each role on your team, creating a mental map of your firm’s workflows, inefficiencies, and who to route approvals to.

The processes that were written down were never the lived processes and a few dozen interviews never gave us the full picture.\\\n\\\n**How it works**\n\n* **Choose what you want to improve or automate.** Pick a question and the people to survey. This could be about sales quoting or mapping processes before implementing AI.\n* **Survey employees with AI voice agents.** Employees talk to our voice agent about their work, in their own language. The agent asks follow-up questions to understand the problems they describe.\n* **Use the findings and check progress.** See themes across interviews by department, get process maps, and ask again later to see what changed.\n\n\\\n**Already live**\\\nWe’ve completed more than 10,000 employee interviews and signed one of the top three consulting firms.\\\n\\\n**Where this is going** \\\nCompanies will try a lot of AI agents and automation tools in the next few years. Each one needs to know how the work is done before it changes anything, and most of that isn't written down. Sona8 creates infrastructure for AI automation tools. Over time we are building a live context graph of workflows by reading the systems a company already uses and connecting them to what employees say. \\\n\\\n**Who it’s for**\\\nSona8 is for corporate development and transformation teams in enterprises, and the consulting firms supporting them.
