RPA platform deploying AI into legacy desktop apps

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

We built a platform that turns workflows running on legacy Windows desktop apps with no APIs into reliable API endpoints. Users describe a workflow; our system triggers self-healing automation on Windows VMs - on-prem, cloud, or Citrix. We provide video replay, granular logs, and alerting to manage these automations at scale.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right talent pool and ecosystem for B2B infrastructure startups like ours. Being here helps us recruit engineers and stay close to early customers deploying complex automation.
