What Paragon AI does

Paragon AI is a tool for sales representatives which automatically turns call recordings into structured information that directly updates the CRM. Instead of spending hours going over call recordings to pull out key information to populate the CRM, sales representatives can focus their time doing what they do best and sales leaders can rest assured that pipeline data is up to date.

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

We built a tool that listens to sales call recordings and extracts structured data to update the CRM without any manual effort. Sales reps use Paragon AI to avoid spending hours reviewing calls and entering notes. Instead, pipeline data stays accurate and up to date with minimal work from sales teams.

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

We live in New York City, NY, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and remote. After YC, the company would likely remain distributed with a base in these locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose our current locations based on where the founders live and work. Being distributed allows us to tap into different talent markets and stay close to customers in multiple time zones.
