AI Agent Builder for Software 3.0

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

We build Nuvi.dev, a tool that turns plain-English specifications into AI agents that can act reliably within software systems. Alongside Nuvi, we maintain open-source frameworks like Agent Contract and continuous-eval to verify and monitor agent behavior. Our product helps developers build AI-powered software agents they can trust, tackling the complexity of making AI systems predictable and correct in real-world workflows.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for AI and developer tools startups. Being here keeps us close to customers, potential partners, and other technical talent.
