Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Never code alone.

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

We build a developer tool that uses AI to help engineers write and review code. Squire writes pull request descriptions, reviews PRs for correctness and style, and can write code that implements feedback from code reviews. It integrates directly into developers' workflows to make code reviews faster and more thorough.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and Canada. After YC, the company would continue operating out of these locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are distributed between San Francisco and Canada because that's where the founders are based. This allows us to balance proximity to tech hubs with cost and talent availability.
