AI tooling for engineers and designers

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

We are building Pretzel AI, a toolkit that helps engineers, product managers, and designers integrate AI into their workflows. Our tools simplify building and managing AI-powered features, focusing on practical use in B2B software development and product design.

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

We currently live and work in Berlin, Germany. The company will be based in Berlin after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berlin is where we live, and it has a strong engineering talent pool and thriving startup ecosystem. Staying here keeps us close to our network and reduces disruption as we accelerate the company during YC.
