Secure Document Agent

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

We built a secure document agent that helps companies manipulate and convert PDF and Word files securely, integrating with internal knowledge bases. Our product allows teams to interact with documents more efficiently without risking sensitive data exposure.

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

We live in San Francisco and have a distributed remote team. After YC, the company will remain based in San Francisco with remote operations.

San Francisco offers access to talent and our investors. Remote lets us hire skilled people without relocation friction.
