AI Platform for Architects, Builders, and Engineers

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

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is central to our early customers and our industry. Being close to architecture and engineering firms here helps us iterate quickly and stay connected to their real problems.
