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

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

We live and work in San Mateo, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

San Mateo keeps us close to key customers and talent in the Bay Area, which is critical as we develop deep AI models and customer relationships.
