We make it possible to automate tasks and workflows using natural language instructions combined with AI and code. Anyone can set up repeatable automations without deep programming skills. For example, users can create a Magic Loop to get text alerts for big Shopify sales or use ChatGPT to sort sales calls automatically.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and will base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to our users and AI engineering talent. It's the best place to build a B2B AI automation product like ours.
