AI agents for banking back office

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

We build specialized AI agents tailored for small- to mid-sized banks to handle compliance and back office tasks. Our product helps banks pass regulatory exams and improves their efficiency ratios, which directly addresses top priorities for bank boards. It's like having a dedicated AI assistant that understands banking regulations and processes.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because it's the tech hub where we can recruit talent, get direct access to AI tools, and connect with early bank customers and investors.
