Fast, up-to-date answers for Sales & Support

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

We built an intelligent Chrome extension that helps sales and support teams get quick, accurate answers from their internal knowledge base. It integrates with existing knowledge sources and surfaces bite-sized information in their workflow, so teams don't waste time searching outdated docs or asking coworkers.

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. After YC, it will remain headquartered in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all currently live and where the concentration of early B2B customers and tech talent is. Staying here keeps us close to users and partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Omni YC application?

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