AI coding tools improved with static analysis

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

We are building AI coding agents that integrate static analysis to deeply understand code behavior. Our tools help developers get clearer insights into how their code operates beyond what typical AI tools offer, improving code comprehension for both humans and machines.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, with part of the team remote. Post-YC, we plan to keep San Francisco as our base with a hybrid remote setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose to be based in San Francisco because it gives us access to a strong developer community and networking relevant to AI and developer tools. Remote flexibility lets us tap talent beyond geography.
