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

We make industrial robotic arms designed for small businesses that are programmed using natural language prompts. Our arms cost a fraction of human labor and simplify automation by removing complex programming barriers.

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

We're based in San Francisco, CA and Noida, UP, India. After YC, we'll continue operating out of these locations to leverage tech talent in both.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco for its startup ecosystem and access to early customers, and Noida for cost-effective engineering and scaling development. Maintaining presence in both gives us speed and efficiency.
