The intelligent knowledge platform

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

We are building a knowledge platform that helps teams create and maintain documentation that works well both for people and AI. Our product makes it easier for engineering, product, and design teams to write documentation that stays up to date and is useful as code and products evolve.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it's where our team is located and where many of our early users and partners are. Being here keeps us close to the developer community we serve and the ecosystem we navigate.
