Cortex AI ne yapar

Cortex AI builds the world’s most diverse and large-scale real-world workplace robot & egocentric dataset - where the physical world becomes the next training and evaluation set for embodied AI. We power frontier labs developing robotics foundation models and general-purpose robots by providing the data they need: 1️⃣ Egocentric Data - real-workplace human video with hand/body pose, depth, and subtask labels. 2️⃣ Robot Data - trajectories collected from manipulators and humanoids in real industry settings. 3️⃣ Human-in-the-Loop Rollouts & Evals - real-world deployments with remote operators who recover robots when they fail, capturing data that feeds back into training and continuously improves models. Additionally, through the Cortex Marketplace, workplaces get paid to host data-collection and evaluation sessions, while labs access the in-the-wild data that truly matters. This draws on Lucas’s previous experience as co-founder of Carousell, a C2C marketplace that scaled to a $1B+ valuation.

Large-scale real-world robot & human data for embodied AI

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

We build the largest dataset of real-world workplace robot and egocentric human data. This includes video with hand/body pose, depth, and subtask labels, plus robot trajectories from industrial manipulators and humanoids. We also run human-in-the-loop deployments where remote operators fix robot failures, which creates new data that feeds back into training and evaluation. Labs use our data to train and evaluate robotics foundation models and robots that can operate in real industrial environments.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are found and live. It's also a hub for robotics and AI research labs, making it the best place to connect with customers and recruit talent.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Cortex AI şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Cortex AI'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Cortex AI gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
