Specialized agents for real work

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

We build specialized AI agents that run on cloud servers and can connect to any software or web service. Each agent has tailored browser access, specific tools, and guardrails so it can operate nonstop exactly how a business needs. Our product automates repetitive, manual workflows by interacting with existing systems through APIs or web interfaces.

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

We live in Los Angeles, CA and the company is based there while also allowing a remote setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in LA because that's where we started and where the team lives. Remote work lets us stay flexible, so we can hire or collaborate beyond local limits if needed.
