What Definite does

Definite is where finance teams build everyday back-office agents on one live model of their books. We plug into your ERP, ledger, payroll, and payments read-only and compile everything into one clean model that stays current as money moves. Your back-office team then builds agents on top in plain English. We never write back and we never move money. The agents are yours, the plumbing is ours. We met in first year computer science at Waterloo and interned at Meta, Optiver, and BitGo. At Optiver they ran an n8n hackathon and the interns automated basically nothing. It couldn't talk to the systems that mattered. When we pitched banks and fintechs on agents, they kept telling us the same thing. The agent isn't the hard part, getting clean data out of their systems is. Right now, automating anything in a back office means engineers hand-stitching data from a dozen sources in different formats on different schedules. Tools like n8n and Workato assume your data is already clean and joined. In finance it never is. So the teams with the most repetitive work and smallest budgets get nothing. The hard part is the compiler. Every source gets cleaned, matched, and joined into one live model of transactions, invoices, vendors, and payments, and it has to stay right as money lands every day. Everyone throws engineers at this. We're doing it once so nobody has to again. Every back office is getting agents eventually. Whoever owns the data they read from owns the thing all of them depend on, and eventually the books themselves. That's what we're building.

Build everyday back-office agents on one live model of your books

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

Definite lets finance teams build back-office agents on top of a live, unified model of their books. We plug into ERPs, ledgers, payroll, and payments systems read-only, compile all the data into a clean, joined model, and keep it updated as transactions happen. Teams write agents in plain English, no engineers needed. We never write back or move money - users own the agents, we handle the plumbing.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. We would stay based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because that's where most fintech and AI companies are, and it's the best place to hire and meet customers.
