Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Go from idea to production with AI.

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

We build an AI design tool that helps product teams quickly turn ideas into live websites. Users iterate on concepts, gather user feedback, and deploy directly from the platform without waiting for engineering cycles.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best access to engineering talent and product teams who use Magic Patterns, so it makes sense to stay here.
