AI for Robot Arms in Factories

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

We make AI software that enables robotic arms in factories to automate labor-intensive tasks. We started with metal grinding, a dangerous and repetitive job. Our AI lets robots handle these tasks reliably and safely, and we're actively deploying on 10+ robots in a cast-iron foundry.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team is based and where we find access to robotics talent, early industrial customers, and ecosystem support. We plan to stay here post-YC.
