UI framework for AI agents and developers

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

We build HeroUI, a UI framework that helps AI agents and developers create beautiful, accessible, production-ready interfaces for web and mobile apps. Our product focuses on handling the small design details - animations, colors, interactions - that shape user experience, especially as AI interfaces become more complex and important.

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

Our primary legal location is San Francisco, CA but our team works remotely across various locations. We will remain based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the technical talent and investor community we want to be close to, but we embrace remote work to tap the best people and stay flexible.
