Agentic OS for auto repair shops

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

We're building an operating system that autonomously handles the administrative tasks of auto repair shops. Parrot understands the shop's workflow so it can call, negotiate, and coordinate with customers, parts suppliers, and insurers without human intervention.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the engineering talent and investor community we need to scale Parrot. Being in the city also helps us connect with early customers and partners in the automotive space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Parrot YC application?

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