Alpha Research의 사업 내용

Alpha Research builds open source agentic knowledge bases. Our mission is to help knowledge workers work 100x faster. We launched and open sourced our first platform, Alpha Book on a mirror of the Project Gutenberg dataset (75,000 books). Knowledge work is bottlenecked in two key ways: finding evidence and testing hypotheses. We make both 100x faster. We extend keyword search and RAG with general coding agents, which use filesystem tools like ripgrep and reason iteratively to find broad evidence. Coding agents also write ad-hoc scripts to label datasets and test hypotheses. Our timeline is simple: repeat Alpha Book across every public dataset of humanity's knowledge. Next we'll launch Alpha Econ with US Census, BLS, NBER, etc datasets. Alpha Justice with US Supreme Court Cases, and so on. We support museums, research libraries, historical societies, and archives. We also do custom integration work for enterprise.

Open source agentic knowledge bases

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

We build open source agentic knowledge bases to help knowledge workers find evidence and test hypotheses 100x faster. Our first product, Alpha Book, applies coding agents on a mirror of Project Gutenberg to conduct broad, iterative searches and generate ad-hoc scripts that label data and test ideas. Next, we'll apply this approach to datasets like US Census, Supreme Court cases, and more, serving researchers, libraries, and enterprises with custom integrations.

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

We live and work in New York, NY, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where both founders are currently based and connected to the research and knowledge ecosystems we serve. We want to remain close to those communities and the data sources we target.

자주 묻는 질문

Alpha Research의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Alpha Research의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Alpha Research과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
