What Superlog does

Sentry and Datadog dump a stream of alerts. Most are duplicates, most lack context, and you still have to solve the issue yourself. Superlog is AI-native observability that's meant not to be opened. A wizard scans your repo and installs proper OpenTelemetry instrumentation, then runs daily to keep up as you ship new code. When something breaks, Superlog groups the errors into a single incident, investigates with full context (logs, traces, recent deploys, past Slack threads), and posts one mergeable PR in Slack. You merge it, ignore it, or open it as a Claude Code session and modify it. Telemetry is vendor-neutral, so you keep every log, trace, and metric we install, even if you leave.

Observability that installs and fixes itself

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

Superlog is AI-native observability designed so you barely have to open it. It scans your codebase to install OpenTelemetry instrumentation automatically, then runs daily updates as you ship new code. When errors happen, it groups incidents, investigates with logs, traces, deploy data, and past Slack threads, then posts a single mergeable fix as a PR in Slack. You merge it, ignore it, or refine it interactively.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC too.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for developer tools startups and AI talent. Being here connects us with customers, partners, and future hires in engineering, product, and design teams who use observability tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Superlog YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Superlog's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Superlog would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
