Captain의 사업 내용

Captain delivers the most accurate file search engine built for AI agents. We’ll index data from the sources folks already use like S3, SharePoint, and Google Drive, and easily scale multimodal, petabyte-level content search. We’re the Snowflake for Unstructured Data. Captain tops the Open-RAG-Benchmark with over 20% higher accuracy than standard RAG pipelines. We achieve this through robust data processing techniques like embedding normalization across modalities, ensuring that representations cluster by semantic content rather than data type.

Captain

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI agents' accurate knowledge search at scale

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

We're building Captain, a file search engine optimized for AI agents that indexes data from places like S3, SharePoint, and Google Drive. It scales to petabyte-level, multimodal content and improves retrieval accuracy by normalizing embeddings across modalities so the AI focuses on semantic meaning rather than format. This solves the problem of unreliable, noisy knowledge retrieval for AI workflows tied to unstructured data.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best access to engineering talent and AI infrastructure. It's where our users and partners are, so it makes sense for us to stay here.

자주 묻는 질문

Captain의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

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