What Marr Labs does

Marr Labs is making AI-voice agents that are indistinguishable from humans. Han and Dave previously created speech tech company Vlingo that powered the first Siri app and was acquired for $225M. Now they are taking voice to the next level by making AI-voice agents that can handle virtually any phone-based job, from answering calls to schedule appointments to call center sales and support jobs - all at a fraction of the cost of a human agent. In the US alone, businesses handle 17 billion calls a year at an average cost of $5 per call - an $85 billion addressable market.

AI-voice agents indistinguishable from humans

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

We are building AI-voice agents that can handle virtually any phone-based job - answering calls, scheduling appointments, sales, and support - at a fraction of the cost of human agents. Our agents sound human enough to handle complex conversations with minimal detection.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent pool and network we need to develop advanced voice AI and sell into US businesses handling billions of calls annually.
