Lo que hace AirCaps
AirCaps is bringing AI assistance to in-person conversations. Our AI-copilot provides live captions, translations, AI meeting notes and insights for in-person conversations in real-time. It's deployed as an app for lightweight AR glasses so you can see visual information overlaid onto your field of vision. You can think of it like a Zoom AI meeting assistant or Granola, but for in-person conversations, and with the ability to proactively help you in real-time, not just after the conversation. We’re building the capture and intelligence layer for the 216 billion daily conversations that happen face-to-face. We’ve already processed 16,500 hours of real-world conversations and counting. Today, AirCaps assists with 11% of our users’ in-person conversations. We did $93K in revenue in October and grew 6.5x from September while spending <$3K on marketing (and hit $70K in revenue in the first 2 weeks of November). Our power users average 6h+ daily usage and our day-30 retention is 91%. We previously went viral (75M+ views on TikTok, 150K+ followers) and have been featured by The New Yorker, WIRED, and Forbes. Madhav (CEO, Yale CS) has been building in audio and AR since age 13, starting with Google Glass apps and voice assistants for Raspberry Pis. He researched audio AI at the MIT Media Lab. Nirbhay (CTO, Cornell CS) built voice AI on smart glasses in high school and built conversational AI products as the first engineer at 2 YC startups.

AirCaps
AI copilot for in-person conversations
We build an AI assistant that helps with live captions, translations, meeting notes, and insights during in-person conversations. It runs on lightweight AR glasses and overlays relevant information in real-time, helping users understand and follow complex discussions as they happen, not just after.
We live in San Francisco, CA. The company will be based here after YC as well.
San Francisco is where our team already lives and where the AR and AI ecosystems are strong. It's the right place to iterate quickly with early users and hardware partners.
