Dead simple LLM testing and iteration

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

We built Chatter as a platform for testing and iterating on large language models. It lets developers and companies run prompts across different LLMs, write test cases to evaluate the outputs, and collaborate on prompt chains and QA. Think of it like Postman but for LLMs, focused on making prompt iteration and testing repeatable and team-friendly.

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

We live in Philadelphia, PA and the company is based here. After YC we'll continue there for now.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Philly offers us the space and community we need, and we're already here. We haven't needed to relocate yet.
