AI Agents for E-commerce Customer Support

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

We build AI-powered support teams that handle customer service tickets for e-commerce brands. Our platform lets these brands train and manage AI agents that resolve over 90% of support tickets and drive revenue growth by answering customers quickly and accurately.

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

We currently work remotely. After YC, we plan to base the company where it makes the most sense for growth and team alignment.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Staying remote allows us to work with a flexible, lean team and easily connect with customers wherever they are, which fits our small founding team and customer base so far.
