The digital home for your personal memories that grows with you

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

We are building Oki Home, a personal digital memory platform that organizes your life experiences in one place. It uses fully private, local AI to understand your memories and help you access and recall them as you grow. Unlike generic cloud storage, Oki evolves with you and keeps your data private by running AI locally.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the technical talent and startup ecosystem that allow us to move quickly and hire engineers as we grow. It's also where both founders currently live, making it practical for us to stay here.

Is this the real Oki YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Oki's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Oki would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
