What Toolify does

Toolify is dev-first internal tooling. At some point, companies using low-code builders hit a brick wall, and are bogged down by their limitations rather quickly. We offer: - A starter kit with sensible defaults, - A VSCode extension which has AI that creates the internal tool for you, end to end, and, - A web app where you can deploy your tools. This gives you the best of both worlds -- everything you need to build tools just as fast as low-code, and an escape hatch when you need it.

Build internal tools with AI

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

We are building a developer-first internal tooling platform that uses AI to generate internal tools end to end. It's a starter kit with defaults, a VSCode extension with AI that creates tools for you, and a web app to deploy them. This helps companies stuck on low-code tools build internal apps faster without the usual limits.

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

We currently live and work in Bengaluru, KA, India. Our company would remain based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is where we both live and work, and it has a strong tech community. Staying here keeps us close to our network and market while building our product.
