The System of Action for Conversation Data

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

We build software that captures raw conversations - like calls, chats, and meetings - and structures them into actionable knowledge. This lets teams search, analyze, and apply their communication data directly in their workflows. Our early users include enterprise companies like Abnormal AI and eToro, who rely on us to turn noisy conversational data into insights for frontline teams and leaders alike.

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

We are based in Nashville, TN with a remote team. After YC, we plan to remain distributed but will maintain a strong presence in Nashville and open to growing remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Nashville offers us access to engineering talent while keeping cost and lifestyle reasonable. Being remote-friendly also lets us attract smart team members wherever they are. YC's support will help us tap into Silicon Valley connections without losing our base.
