What Polymet does

Polymet uses AI to help non-designers create production-ready designs and front-end code. They explain what they want or provide an image, and Polymet designs the interface. Our customers use Polymet instead of hiring designers and save thousands of dollars every month. Even their managers can design with English instead of writing design specs. This helps these teams move faster and cover design function on their own instead of contractors at early stages and when they start to scale their can produce a lot more design work, just like Midjourney.

AI Product Designer

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

We built an AI tool that helps non-designers create production-ready designs and front-end code by simply describing what they want or uploading an image. Polymet outputs ready-to-use interfaces, letting teams skip hiring designers or writing specs.

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

We don't have a fixed company location now and would base the company wherever YC advises us to for the best growth opportunities.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We want to stay flexible but know YC's location will offer the best network and investor access, so we'll relocate if that helps us grow faster.
