What Inspector does

Inspector is the AI IDE for designers to ship to prod. Just select any element on your live front end, edit it like you would in Figma, and Inspector writes the changes straight to your codebase.

AI IDE for front-end development

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

Inspector lets designers directly select any element on a live front end and edit it visually like in Figma. We then translate those changes into code and write them straight to the codebase. This reduces back-and-forth between design and engineering and speeds up shipping product changes.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the engineering and design community we serve is concentrated. It's also where we live and can build our network and customer relationships most effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Inspector YC application?

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