Enterprise Voice Agents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build software that lets enterprises create and deploy voice agents capable of handling customer service, sales, and operations calls. Our product works both in the cloud and on premises, giving companies control over sensitive data and workflows. It handles everything from call routing to AI-driven conversations tailored for business needs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are currently distributed; we have not publicly specified a headquarters or physical location. After YC, we expect to remain flexible or possibly consolidate depending on the program advice and team needs.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is distributed, which supports flexible development and rapid iteration. We chose not to fix a location yet because we want to focus on product and users first and adapt post-YC based on what makes the most sense.
