What Sandra AI does

Sandra AI is building the AI operating system for car dealerships, replacing clumsy legacy software with an AI-native, automation-driven platform. Founded by 3 McKinsey, HEC & MIT alumni who met 10 years ago at Ecole Polytechnique, the company’s AI agents already automates all customer interactions across calls & messages, and increasingly run dealership operations by automating sales and aftersales workflows end-to-end. This operational footprint naturally extends into a proprietary software layer that unifies billing, scheduling, inventory, and CRM into a single dealership OS.

Building AI employees for car dealers

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

We built an AI operating system designed specifically for car dealerships. Our AI agents handle customer calls and messages, automating interactions from first contact through sales and aftersales workflows. Over time, we've extended the platform into a proprietary software layer unifying billing, scheduling, inventory, and CRM into a single system, replacing old, fragmented dealership software.

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

We're based in Miami, FL and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Miami is where we live and work. It's a growing tech hub with relevant talent and a good environment for startups. We're rooted here and plan to keep the company here post-YC.
