n8n for coding agents

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

We built Keystroke so developers can build AI agents and automations using code, not drag-and-drop interfaces. It's an open source platform designed specifically for coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code, letting users orchestrate workflows or multi-step processes with real programming rather than no-code blocks.

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

We currently live and work in Salt Lake City, UT, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Salt Lake City because that's where we and our initial team are located, and it's where we've built everything so far. It also gives us some runway before having to consider relocating or remote structures after YC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Keystroke YC application?

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