AWS for AI Agents

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

We build an API platform that lets developers embed AI agents into their apps effortlessly. For example, our users have integrated customer support agents into WhatsApp and analytics agents into Slack. Our APIs abstract away the complexity of managing AI agents so developers can focus on their applications, not infrastructure.

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

We live in Bengaluru, India, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru gives us access to strong engineering talent and a growing AI ecosystem. It's where we both are and where we can build efficiently without relocating.
