AI-driven tools for B2B sales training and content

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

We build an AI-powered platform that helps B2B revenue teams create training materials, sales collateral, and personalized coaching content quickly. Our product automates content generation, tailors messaging to specific industries or individual customers, and offers real-time AI assistance trained on the company's own sales data. It also enables scalable, realistic role-playing scenarios to improve coaching effectiveness.

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

We live and work in Chicago, IL. After YC, we plan to stay based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Chicago is where both Armen and Ali live and work. We have built our team locally and benefit from the city's growing tech ecosystem. We don't see a need to relocate since remote collaboration and travel for YC and customers covers any gaps.
