Conversational AI assistants using your knowledge

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

We build AI assistants powered by GPT that are trained on a company's or creator's specific content. These assistants answer questions from their audience 24/7, turning static information into interactive conversations. This helps scale personalized user engagement without increasing human support costs.

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

We're currently split between San Francisco and remote locations. After YC, we'll be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and network we need to build and grow Sentiyen. Being remote flexible lets us attract and keep top talent as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Sentiyen YC application?

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