Building Dev Infra for AI Software Engineers

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

We've built a Cursor and VS Code extension that shows developers the exact prompt that generated any block of AI-written code. This helps engineers understand AI output, continue conversations coworkers had with AI, and track usage analytics for AI code generation within teams.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where our network and target users - software engineers deeply embedded in AI workflows - are concentrated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Gait YC application?

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