Compute substrate for AI agents

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

We build a persistent compute platform specifically for AI agents. Our product hosts long-running, stateful agents that never sleep, responding in under 250ms. This solves the key problem of latency and state persistence for developers building autonomous AI workflows and automation.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. The company will be based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for AI infrastructure and developer tools, where our initial users and engineering talent are concentrated. Staying here keeps us close to customers and the ecosystem we serve.
