What Gluetrail does

Gluetrail is a chrome extension that allows you to create support/training/marketing assets 10x faster, just from a screen and audio recording. These assets allow you to drive software or process adoption & awareness among prospects, customers or teammates. From one single recording, Gluetrail leverages your screen+clicks+audio transcript, and AI, to: - automatically create step-by-step articles with screenshots and videos - adapt the content for & publish it on 3rd party platforms in 1 click: internal or external knowledge bases (Notion, Confluence, Intercom, Zendesk...), community platforms and social media (linkedin, youtube, twitter, discourse...)

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

We built a Chrome extension that turns screen recordings with audio into step-by-step articles automatically. From one recording, Gluetrail extracts screenshots, clicks, and an audio transcript, then uses AI to generate detailed support or training content. It also formats and publishes this content on platforms like Notion, Confluence, Zendesk, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more - all in one click.

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

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and will continue to operate remotely from here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Paris because that's where we live, and remote work lets us stay flexible. Running the company from here hasn't limited our ability to reach customers or build the product fast.

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