Your best friend in production.

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

We're building AI agents for platform and infrastructure teams to help them triage, debug, and fix production issues faster. Our product automates steps that typically cause slowdowns during on-call, reducing escalations and toil. Alongside this, we maintain open-source tools like Playbooks for runbook automation and Kenobi for debugging event pipelines.

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

We live in Bengaluru, India, and the company is based here. After YC, we'll stay based in Bengaluru.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru has the engineering talent and is where we and our initial team are. We've built everything here, so it makes sense to keep the company grounded locally where our team and early customers live.
