The Autonomous Product Management System

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

We're building Janet AI, an autonomous product management system designed for modern product teams. It automates the manual work product managers usually do - gathering data, prioritizing tasks, and tracking progress - by integrating with team workflows and surfacing exactly what needs attention, without waiting for input.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where product teams and startups are concentrated. Being here keeps us close to customers and top engineering talent.
