Generative AI for frontline worker hiring

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

We are building a hiring platform that uses generative AI to help companies find and hire frontline workers more efficiently. Our AI assists with sourcing, screening, and matching candidates to hourly jobs, reducing hiring friction in industries like retail, hospitality, and health services.

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

We live and work in New York City, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York City is where our early adopters and our team are concentrated. Being here keeps us close to the customers whose frontline hiring problems we are solving.
