AI-powered McKinsey-quality reports in seconds

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

We've built an AI tool that generates high-quality consulting-style reports in seconds. Customers use Watto to create marketing reports, white papers, product docs, and other detailed business documents that normally take hours or days to write. We apply large language models to produce structured, relevant, and tailored reports that match the quality of firms like McKinsey but at a fraction of the time.

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

We currently operate remotely; the team is distributed. After YC, we plan to base the company where it optimizes our growth and team collaboration as we scale - likely remaining remote or based in a major tech hub.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team members are spread out, so remote collaboration has been vital. We want to keep flexibility and access to top talent rather than tying ourselves to a single location immediately.
