Give every agent a cloud desktop

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

We built a cloud desktop that lets AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw execute tasks as if they had their own computer. Our platform gives these agents a place to run code, access tools, and interact with files in the cloud automatically. Essentially, we turn AI assistants into autonomous computer users by providing them their own fully managed cloud environment.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and Cua will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco where a lot of AI and cloud infrastructure talent is concentrated. Staying here after YC keeps us close to a key user and engineering community essential for our product's growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Cua YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Cua's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Cua would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
