AI agents that help you understand your customers' needs

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

We built an AI-powered user researcher that automates discovering why customers make certain decisions, clicks, and preferences. Our platform instantly recruits participants, conducts user interviews via AI agents, analyzes responses, and delivers actionable insights for product teams and researchers.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because it's where the startup ecosystem is dense, and where we can best tap into product teams and B2B customers. It's also home for both founders.
