Applied AI for emerging economies

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

We build AI applications tailored for emerging economies, focusing on Southeast Asia. Our products include Halo AI, a universal AI concierge for enterprises; GoVisa, which simplifies visa and permit applications online using AI; and Supa, a hyperlocal knowledge AI serving Indonesians. These tools tackle regional challenges that generic AI products don't address.

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

We live in Jakarta, Indonesia, and plan to base the company there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Jakarta because that's where the problems we solve exist and where our users are. Emerging economies like Indonesia have distinct needs that global AI companies overlook. Staying here keeps us close to those challenges and customers.
