What Click does

Click builds useful services that meet users right inside ChatGPT and Claude. We're starting with a research service that provides external context that the built-in web search misses - like data from professional & social platforms, marketplaces, financials, and more. It makes research on people & companies even deeper with specialized, source-backed context beyond built-in web search, while enabling new tasks like comparing live flight fares right inside the chat.

Research services for ChatGPT and Claude

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

We're building Click, which brings external research data directly into ChatGPT and Claude. Our first product delivers source-backed information about people, companies, and topics that built-in web search often misses - things like professional bios, financial info, social links, and live data from specialized platforms. Users can also do context-rich tasks like comparing live flight fares right inside the chat interface. We focus on providing more complete, real-world context where LLMs alone fall short.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will remain based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of the AI ecosystem, early adopters, and partners are. It's the best place to build for ChatGPT, Claude, and related platforms.
