What Agentive does

Agentive is an AI workspace for financial and technology audit firms that leverages context-aware AI agents to perform testing procedures from natural language instructions - just like an audit associate.

AI Workspace for Audit & Advisory Firms

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

We build an AI workspace tailored for financial and technology audit firms. Our product uses context-aware AI agents to follow natural language instructions and perform audit testing procedures, mimicking what an audit associate would do. It integrates audit planning, client document requests, and evidence testing into one platform to reduce friction and inefficiency during audits.

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

We currently live in Provo, Utah, where the company is also based and will remain after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Provo has a strong tech community and access to talent. We're comfortable here and can build the product effectively without relocating.
