The AI Agent for Autonomous Data Operations

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

We've built an AI-powered platform that automates integrating and cleaning data from messy sources with no APIs, like legacy files, PDFs, and database dumps. Our product maps data automatically, replacing hours or days of manual work and brittle scripts for operations teams.

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 as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our early users are, where we build best with access to AI and engineering talent, and where we want to grow the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real OneSchema YC application?

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