AI-powered product assistance for software teams

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

We built an in-app AI assistant that guides users through software products by understanding the product interface. It adapts its guidance based on each user's actions and can act on their behalf to complete tasks or onboard them faster. This helps product, engineering, and design teams improve user success without constant manual support.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where our network, potential customers, and tech talent are concentrated. Staying here after YC lets us move faster and keeps us close to our customers and ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Frigade YC application?

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