Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Artificially Intelligent Corporations

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

We build software that automates corporations by turning complex codebases into easily understandable wiki-style documentation. Our main product, Auto Wiki, generates annotated articles from code, helping engineers grasp complicated systems quickly.

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

We are distributed across San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and remote locations. After YC, we'll continue being based primarily in San Francisco but maintain remote work across locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked this setup because engineering talent and users are spread out. San Francisco offers the best access to tech hubs and YC resources, while remote work lets us tap into talent elsewhere.
