Build and share apps with friends

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

aSim is a consumer product that lets people create and share small apps with friends using prompts. Users enter a prompt, run it to see the app, remix it, and repeat to iterate quickly - enabling anyone to make interactive apps without coding.

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

We live in Seattle, WA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Seattle because that's where we live and where our team is. There's no reason to move; we can fully focus on building and growing aSim here.

Is this the real aSim YC application?

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