What Kyber does

With Kyber, companies operating in regulated industries can quickly draft, review, and send complex regulatory notices. For example, when Branch Insurance's claims team has to settle a claim, instead of spending hours piecing together evidence to draft a complex notice, they can simply upload the details of the claim to Kyber, auto-generate multiple best in-class drafts, easily assign reviewers, collaborate on notices in real-time, and then send the letter to the individual the notice is for. Kyber not only saves these teams time, but significantly improves consistency, compliance, and personalization.

Draft, review, and send complex regulatory notices instantly

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

We built Kyber to help regulated companies draft, review, and send complex regulatory notices quickly. For example, Branch Insurance's claims team uses Kyber to upload claim details and get multiple strong drafts automatically. They can then collaborate on these notices in real time and send them out without hours of back-and-forth, improving compliance and consistency while saving time.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep Kyber based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in New York because it puts us close to our early enterprise users in regulated industries like insurance, which is hard to replicate remotely.
