What Mantle does

Mantle connects to all your tools: your CRM, Mail, Calendar, Payments, Product Analytics, and more. With just one prompt, you can create agents that handle back office work for you. These agents can automate reports and email them to you, drafts emails right in your email client, generates pre-meeting research directly in your calendar event, and much more. They run quietly in the background, react to changes in real time, follow a schedule or work when you chat with them. You didn’t start up to stay stuck in admin. Turn your company AI-native with Mantle.

Build internal agents to automate back office work

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

We're building a product that connects to all the tools a company uses - CRM, Mail, Calendar, Payments, Analytics, and more - to create custom internal AI agents that automate back office tasks from a single prompt. These agents can run reports, draft emails, prepare pre-meeting research, and work quietly in the background triggered by schedules or chat.

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 is where we live and where our network and potential customers are. Being here helps us move fast on integrations and get live feedback from early users.
