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

We built a marketing platform that helps brands get their products discovered and used by AI agents like ChatGPT and OpenClaw. Our product identifies which content drives AI visibility and creates that content automatically. Users then take targeted on-page and off-page actions that lead directly to measurable growth.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Living and working in SF keeps us close to the tech ecosystem and potential users in our industry. It also facilitates networking and support from peers, which is valuable at this stage.
