Agent analytics for real user outcomes

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

We make Buildbox, a platform that analyzes the interactions between users and agents (human or AI) inside enterprise products. We look at user intent, agent behavior, and outcomes to pinpoint where users get stuck or lose trust. Then we organize these findings into clear, reproducible issues, ranked by impact, so product teams know exactly what to fix. The goal is to help teams see the real experience users are having with their agents - and act on it.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. After YC, we'd still be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're here because this is where a lot of the top B2B and AI product teams are. We want to stay close to early customers and the network here.
