What Kenobi does
Kenobi is personalizing the internet. Your marketing site is your front desk to the internet, but its content has to be applicable to all of your ICPs and potential visitors, usually resulting in fragmented and blunt brochure content. Kenobi acts as your concierge, ensuring each of your visitors receives content that is tailored to _them_ so that they actually convert and progress along your sales journey. You can install Kenobi with one `<head />` tag in your site's markup -- everything else is taken care of using our AI research + content generation pipeline.

Personalize landing sites per visitor with one line of code
We built a platform that personalizes marketing landing pages for every visitor with just one `<head />` tag added to their site's markup. Our AI analyzes visitor data in real time and dynamically generates content tailored to that visitor's profile, improving conversion and guiding them through the sales funnel. It removes the need for companies to build complex segmentations or multiple landing pages manually.
We live in London, England, and the company will remain based in London after YC.
We chose London because it's where we live and where most early customers and networks are. It's also a good time zone overlap with much of Europe and a growing tech scene we can tap into post-YC.
