AI Native Rippling for Deskless Workers

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

We built an AI-powered platform that handles time tracking, scheduling, payroll, and HR specifically for hourly deskless workers. Our system automates tedious tasks like calling workers to fill shifts, spotting timesheet issues, and simplifying payroll so managers focus on running their teams instead of wrestling with admin.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where most tech talent and customers in our HR and workforce management space are, so it makes sense to build and grow here.

Is this the real Sira YC application?

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