AI Agent for Cloud Infrastructure

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

We built an AI agent that helps engineering teams manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure. It generates reliable cloud configurations, estimates costs in detail, shows system diagrams, and finds optimization opportunities automatically. The goal is to help teams save money and ship infrastructure faster without wrestling with complex cloud setups.

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

We live and work remotely. After YC, the company will remain remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being remote lets us hire the best engineers regardless of location and focus fully on building the product without relocating.
