AI Prototyping for Product Management

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

We built a tool that captures a live web product instantly and turns it into a fully interactive AI prototype. Product managers, founders, and designers use Alloy to quickly create prototypes that look and behave exactly like the real product, without rebuilding anything from scratch.

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

We live in various locations and Alloy is remote-first. After YC, we will stay distributed to keep access to talent and flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being remote lets us hire a small expert team irrespective of location. This flexibility has helped us iterate product-market fit faster without relocation constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Alloy YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Alloy's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Alloy would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
