AI-powered data extraction engine

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

Indexical is an AI-powered engine that extracts structured data from unstructured sources. Our product helps developers and enterprises automate the tedious process of harvesting data buried in documents, emails, and web content. We focus on making it easier for engineering teams to integrate data extraction directly into their workflows through a robust API and developer tools.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are already located in San Francisco, a hub for AI and developer tools companies, which keeps us close to talent, customers, and investors.
