AI-assisted CX tool built with your knowledge

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

We built a customer experience tool that uses AI to help customer success and support teams by integrating their internal knowledge bases directly into AI workflows. It improves how teams respond and solve customer issues by making AI answers grounded in the company's own data, not just generic training. This reduces customer wait times and error rates.

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

We currently operate out of New York, NY and Mountain View, CA. After YC, we plan to base the company primarily in New York, with some engineering in Mountain View.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We split time between New York and Mountain View to tap into both tech talent and enterprise customers located on the East Coast. Post YC, consolidating in New York makes sense given our customer base and team.
