Чем занимается Wordware

AI Agents have arrived. They are powerful enough to read, plan, and act across your everyday life and work. The question is no longer whether they can run canned demos to check the weather, it’s whether real teams can rely on them for critical work. We optimize for adoption over spectacle: useful, accountable systems that help top professional complete real tasks. Wordware is backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator, with a $30M seed round. Our beautiful, historic San Francisco office sits in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, it’s full of plants and radiates innovation and calm. We genuinely love working together. At lunch we talk about alignment and AI consciousness, we have surfboards in the office ready to use, we take walking meetings on the beach and hang out after work at the bar or climbing wall. We work really hard because we care deeply about what we do. Sauna is Wordware’s AI workspace for professionals. Think ‘Cursor for Knowledge Work’ and you’re halfway there. With explicit permission, it connects to tools like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and thousands more, to gather the right context to move your work forward. It learns who you are, drafts and refines your documents, presentations, and datasets, researches across the web and your org’s internal knowledge, summarizes long threads to cut through the noise, proposes next steps, even acts on your behalf when enabled. You can work with Sauna live, side-by-side, or schedule jobs to run automatically in the background, with clear permissions and easy off-switches. Sauna brings the power of AI Agents to all professionals.

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

We build Sauna, an AI workspace for professionals that connects to tools like Gmail, Calendar, and Slack with explicit permission.

It runs tasks live or automatically with clear controls to help teams complete real work.

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

We're based in San Francisco, CA, and will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are now, and it fits our culture and access to talent. It matches our team's lifestyle - surfboards and walking meetings on the beach - and helps us build a thoughtful work environment.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Wordware в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Wordware (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Wordware представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
