What RetroFix does

RetroFix is an automation platform designed to be extremely intuitive to use, making it much easier and faster to automate manual work. To create or modify workflows you can describe them in natural language and our agent will create them end-to-end for you. We allow you to connect with 2000+ applications and use our pre-built actions for your workflows. In the case we don't have a pre-built step, our agent can instead write code to access the full APIs of all the apps we integrate with.

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

We built RetroFix, a platform that lets users automate any manual workflow by describing it in plain English. Our system connects to over 2000 apps and either uses pre-built actions or writes custom code to handle API calls, making automation accessible without deep technical skills.

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

We live and work in New York City, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

We chose NYC because that's where we live and where we built RetroFix. Staying local lets us move fast with direct access to each other and our first users.
