AI automation for the manufacturing office

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

We build an AI platform that automates order entry, quoting, and customer updates for manufacturing firms. Our product replaces manual, error-prone office work so manufacturing teams can scale faster and respond faster without adding staff.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
