What Atlia does

We use AI agents to manage short-term rental properties by running operations completely autonomously. We cut traditional human management fees in half so owners take home 20% to 30% more revenue. And we operate with near-zero boots-on-the-ground so we can scale nationwide with software margins and at venture speed in a traditionally physical industry.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI-native property management for short-term rentals.

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

Atlia uses AI agents to run every aspect of short-term rental property management, entirely in software and without on-site managers. Owners use our product to handle pricing, guest communication, scheduling, issue response, and cleaning. We reduce management costs and help property owners keep more revenue, with less hassle. We're building to scale nationally at software margins in a space that's been slow and manual.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA and will continue to operate from there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of AI and software. It's where we've found the best network and resources for building Atlia.
