What RowFlow does

RowFlow replaces clunky web forms with natural conversations that run over text, slack, or wherever your users are. Our platform increases your form’s response rates while cutting your internal overhead in half. With RowFlow, you can take any existing form and instantly convert it into an AI-powered conversation. New flows launch in minutes and reach respondents over your preferred channel or embedded chat. We guide the exchange, follow up automatically, and return clean structured data without extra work from your team. Forms power billions of business interactions yearly. Whether it’s forms for client intake, registrations, compliance, feedback, or surveys, they all follow the same painful pattern: low conversion, messy data, and frustrated users. Teams have long tolerated forms only because there's been no scalable alternative for collecting structured information from people - until now. Our goal is for RowFlow to become the new default way for how organizations collect user data in an AI-first world.

Replacing forms with AI conversations

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

We built RowFlow to turn traditional web forms into AI-driven conversations that run on text, Slack, or embedded chats. Instead of filling out clunky forms, users have a guided conversation that collects data cleanly and conversationally. This improves response rates and reduces the manual cleanup teams typically face.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in New York because that's where we live and work currently, and it puts us close to many of the B2B operations teams that use forms heavily. There's no plan to relocate since our product is remote-first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real RowFlow YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from RowFlow's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like RowFlow would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
