What Workflow86 does

Workflow86 provides a complete end-to-end platform for building agentic workflows and automating complex business processes and operations. Workflow86 provides users with a complete suite of tools to build and deploy custom agents and orchestrate them to perform complex, long-running workflows including human-in-the-loop steps, custom code, agent tools, and integrations with your existing systems. Build using a visual canvas, or simply describe the workflow in natural language with agents able to self-configure tools, prompts, and integrations, and even build the multi-agent workflows.

Agentic workflows for complex business ops

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

We build Workflow86, a platform that lets users automate complex, long-running business processes with workflows that combine custom software agents, human steps, code, and integrations. You can build visually or describe workflows in natural language, and our agents configure themselves and coordinate tools without needing traditional development.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC we'll remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the tech and SaaS ecosystem is, making it easier to hire, raise, and engage with early users who run operations teams and complex workflows.
