Observability and Governance for AI Python scripts

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

We built BotCity, a centralized platform that manages Python scripts generated by AI or humans under a unified governance framework. It gives organizations observability, security, orchestration, and controls to scale their AI-generated code safely. Instead of chaotic script sprawl, users can see what scripts run, audit changes, and enforce policies from one place.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and work remotely. The company is based in San Francisco and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it's the center of tech innovation, and our team is distributed. Keeping a base here connects us to talent and investors while supporting remote work.

Is this the real BotCity YC application?

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