Visibility and Controls for Browser Agents

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

We built a Chrome extension that gives security teams visibility and control over AI browser agents. It detects when an AI agent takes control, records every action during the session - including pages visited, clicks, and text input - and lets security teams block risky actions or prevent cross-site data leaks.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and ContextFort is based here as well. After YC, we plan to remain in SF to stay close to customers and the tech ecosystem.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and the security and AI community is strong here. Being local to customers and partners helps us build better and move faster.
