AI-native industrial maintenance software

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

We built an AI mobile app that helps factory technicians fix broken equipment. Users take a picture of a malfunctioning machine, and we immediately search thousands of pages of manuals to find the right fix. It cuts downtime and makes maintenance faster and less error-prone.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and Pairio is based here now. We would remain in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best access to AI talent and early industrial customers interested in B2B SaaS tools. We also live here, so it's practical and strategic.
