AI for medical billing teams

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

We build AI agents that automate the repetitive, click-heavy tasks medical billers handle in revenue cycle management. Our product reduces manual data entry and cuts errors to speed up billing workflows.

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

We split our time between San Francisco, CA, and remote locations, with the company based in San Francisco after YC.
