What HyperProbe does

With tools like Cursor and Claude Code, writing software is no longer the bottleneck. Debugging is. Agents cannot fix production crashes using logs and traces that were sized for human eyeballs. The gap is missing data. HyperProbe allows agents to debug live software autonomously. Our SDK drops non-breaking probes straight into running services to read exact variable states from memory at the moment of failure, instead of reasoning backwards from flat logs. Zero redeploys. Under 1% CPU overhead. Automatic PII redaction. We turn 4-hour production war rooms into 10-minute automated resolutions. As agents write and operate more of the world's software, HyperProbe is the runtime observability layer that lets them understand what they built.

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

HyperProbe is an agent- and SDK-based tool that drops non-breaking probes into running cloud services. When software fails in production, our system reads the actual variable state from memory at the crash moment and gives it directly to an AI agent for root cause diagnosis. It works with zero redeploys and under 1% added CPU, automatically scrubbing PII. The product turns post-mortem war rooms into short, automated fixes - letting teams (or agents) debug failures in real time.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of our current and potential users already build and deploy software, and where our team works best together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real HyperProbe YC application?

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