Ultra-realistic AI recruiter with video and audio

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

We built an AI recruiter that looks and sounds human on video and audio, and can join Google Meet calls to conduct interviews autonomously. It handles live candidate interactions so recruiting teams can save time and interview more efficiently.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're both located and it's the heart of tech and recruiting innovation, so it's the natural place to build Outrove and engage early users.

Is this the real Outrove YC application?

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