Technician listens to failed CI check run logs on pull requests and generates suggested fixes that users can apply instantly to their branches. This helps engineering and product teams merge PRs faster by cutting down manual debugging of test failures and build errors.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep SensorSurf based there after YC.
