What Lyra does

AI notetakers clutter meetings. Multiple tabs separate knowledge. Lyra brings meetings and work together in one clean workspace. You can work on docs with AI and your team live, no screenshare required. Create follow-ups and action items as you talk. Ask your meeting questions after the call. Access auto-transcribed calls and instant summaries. Everything stays in one place with full context across every meeting.

AI native meeting platform

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

We built Lyra to replace chaotic meeting tools that silo notes, recordings, and follow-ups across tabs. Our platform merges meetings and work into one workspace where teams collaborate live on docs alongside AI. You don't need to screenshare; Lyra auto-transcribes calls, summarizes conversations instantly, and lets you create action items or ask questions after the call, all in one place with meeting context.

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

We live in New York City and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

NYC is where we live and where our early users are. It keeps us close to customers and the telecom and sales markets we're focused on.

Is this the real Lyra YC application?

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