AI agents for healthcare admin

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

We build AI agents that automate healthcare admin workflows. Our agents interact with legacy hospital software like humans - using mouse and keyboard - to perform end-to-end tasks, starting with medical coding. This frees medical professionals from manual, repetitive tasks that slow down their work.

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

We live and work in Paris, Île-de-France, France. After YC, the company will remain based in Paris.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are committed to Paris as our home base because that's where our team is and where we have built expertise with local healthcare systems. We believe YC's network can support remote teams and help us expand without needing to relocate.
