AI workers for debt settlement

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

We built an AI system that automates call center tasks for debt settlement companies. Our AI connects directly to their CRMs, finds debts to negotiate, and then makes calls to creditors to settle debts over the phone.

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

We live in Bengaluru, India and work remotely. After YC, the company would continue to operate remotely with the core team in India.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru has strong engineering talent and we can manage product and AI development remotely. This gives us access to skills at lower cost while staying global in reach.
