Haystack의 사업 내용

Haystack helps engineering teams manage the growing volume of AI-generated pull requests. Coding agents make it much easier to produce code, but they also create a new problem: teams now have more changes to review, many of them larger, more frequent, and harder to trust at a glance. Haystack sits on top of GitHub and acts as the control layer for AI-generated code changes. For every pull request, it looks at the codebase, the diff, the agent trace, the author’s intent, and any verification evidence like tests, logs, commands, or screenshots. Then Haystack decides what should happen next: whether the change can move forward, needs fixes, or should be reviewed by a human. Teams use Haystack to keep code moving without turning review into rubber-stamping. It helps them merge more code, focus human attention on the changes that actually need judgment, and maintain quality as AI-generated work becomes a bigger part of development.

Company

Company name

Haystack

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Agent-native control layer for code changes

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

We built Haystack to help engineering teams manage AI-generated pull requests. It integrates with GitHub to analyze each PR in context - the codebase, the diff, the agent's reasoning, and any verification artifacts. It then recommends whether the change can be merged, needs fixes, or requires human review. This keeps code flowing without teams losing trust in AI changes or wasting time rubber-stamping.

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

We currently live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because that's where we live and build. The engineering and product functions flow best for us here, and we want to stay close to the users and ecosystem we understand.

자주 묻는 질문

Haystack의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

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