Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Monetize your agent's traces.

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

We built Magma to help companies monetize the traces generated by their AI agents. Our product provides infrastructure for these companies to collect, store, and package agent traces so they can be shared, analyzed, and ultimately turned into data assets. We focus on making it straightforward for B2B users in reinforcement learning and AI to turn valuable agent interaction data into a revenue stream.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the founder lives and where most of our early users and potential partners are based. It makes sense to stay close to the community building in AI and reinforcement learning infrastructure.
