AI Workers for Manufacturing and Distribution

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

We build AI tools that automate manual operational workflows in manufacturing and distribution. Our product handles tasks like data entry, process tracking, and coordination that currently rely on people manually managing spreadsheets or legacy systems. This frees up operators and managers to focus on higher-value work and reduces errors and delays.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco offers the best access to AI talent, enterprise customers, and the network we need to scale manufacturing automation software.
