    Mytos
    Y Combinator LogoS2018
    Active • 26 employees • London, UK
    Mytos builds robots for manufacturing human cells. Operators input stem cells, and our platform turns them into specific cells such as neurons and heart cells over multiple weeks. Last year, patients were cured of Parkinson’s, vision loss, and Type 1 diabetes using stem-cell derived cells. We need 1000x the global capacity to produce these cells, and treat millions of patients. But today these Regenerative Medicines are produced by hand, meaning they’re too expensive and don’t scale. Mytos has fully automated production of these cells, making it scalable. We have our first manufacturing deal - neurons for treating Parkinson’s - and we’re in conversations with majority of the other top players.

    Rocketable
    Y Combinator LogoW2025
    Active • 1 employees • San Francisco, CA, USA
    Rocketable is building a large portfolio of wildly profitable software businesses by acquiring existing products and replacing human teams with AI agents. Today’s foundation models already possess enough intelligence to automate most of the tasks required to run a profitable software business. In the functions where agents aren’t yet intelligent enough to replace humans, they will be soon. When every human function required to operate a software product has an AI agent equivalent, the next step will be within reach: operating an entire company with a team of AI agents instead of humans. But superintelligent agents within each function won’t be enough. To operate a software company with 0 human employees, the agents will need to be directed towards common goals, integrated to collaborate across functions, tuned with feedback loops connected to product metrics, and trained to make resource allocation decisions. We are creating the tools needed to replace the entire org chart of a software company with a team of AI agents. We are developing these tools by owning the products that we automate, because we know from 10+ years of experience building automated systems with AI/ML that integration is the key to unlocking superhuman performance.

    We’re building the next generation of warehouse robotics. In the US today, retailers spend approximately $10B per year paying human laborers to pick up and move cardboard boxes in warehouses. Existing solutions for automating this are expensive and difficult to install, which is why manual operation is still so prevalent. Our solution is different. We make swarms of small mobile robots that install into existing warehouses to provide a low-cost and robust automation solution for case picking and mixed-SKU palletization. Our novel technology allows these robots to be installed and operate at significantly lower cost than existing solutions while being both flexible and robust.

Our goal is to empower the best financial advisors (the independents!) to serve all Americans who want financial advice. We are starting with growth, which is the most existential problem advisors face. The organic growth process is highly inefficient and full of noise. Advisors often waste 60 hours of business development to convert 1 new client. At FINNY, we are certain we can do better with AI. With our tool, advisors can: - Identify prospects within their target niche, aggregating thousands of data points per lead - Prioritize prospects based on their predicted likelihood of converting, a score unique to each advisor and prospect pair - Automate the outreach and meeting scheduling with their high priority prospects In essence, doing all the work for the advisors, and letting them focus on what actually matters, the client relationship.

    FollowUpThen is a personal assistant that sends you exactly what you need at exactly the right moment to get something done. Its uncanny timing is not the result of AI wizardry, but rather an explicit reminder syntax that is embedded in an email address. Email 1min@followupthen.com, 1hour@followupthen.com or {any-time}@followupthen.com and you'll get the email back at that time. Adding a reminder to any email is a one-second operation thanks to your email client's address autocomplete. Example use-cases include: * Following up with sales prospects * Maintaining relationships * Task delegation (put FollowUpThen in the bcc field) * Just-in-time reminders to get a task done (pay bills, etc) * Hitting inbox zero (forwarding emails to your future) In today's workplace we are bombarded with realtime demands on our attention. FollowUpThen answers this trend by making work more asynchronous, allowing you to place information in the future, giving you freedom and peace of mind in the present and allowing you actually get something done.

    Documents are everywhere. Through all industries, understanding their content is a critical step of many processes that software builders throughout the globe want to automate. We focus on the science, the AI, the deep learning to give these builders the one API they need to automate the understanding of documents and give their software human-like superpowers. Based on three pillars: - A product: a universal self-service platform where builders can train their own models - A catalog of use-cases: We push critical use cases to the limits of human performances in critical markets such as Accounting software, AP Automation, Expense Management, KYC and many others - A internal capability to make tailor-made AI: We answer to specific needs from large customers that needs a custom AI of their own to handle their use cases

    We’re building browser-native infrastructure that makes software creation production-ready end-to-end. Today’s AI tools can scaffold code, but they fail on the critical workflows that actually get products into production — provisioning, auth, QA, and compliance — all of which happen inside the browser. Our system makes these workflows deterministic, reproducible, and automatable, so both agents and humans can go from idea to a production-ready app. The opportunity is massive: billions of dollars of value locked up in workflows that today block non-technical founders and slow technical teams. We’re building the infrastructure layer that makes production possible.

    Quantstruct automatically creates and improves product documentation, implementation guides, and changelogs for API & SDK products, web-based enterprise software, and internal applications. Quantstruct identifies gaps in your knowledge base based on each product release or unfulfilled customer query. It uses multiple AI agents to search existing knowledge sources, test existing docs for validity and style guidelines, and clicks, scrolls, and uses enterprise software through a web browser to generate docs with embedded screenshots and video recordings. Quanstruct is available as a cloud service to start, targeting technical writers, content writing, professional services, and product teams. Traditional generative AI tools risk hallucinating critical API & SDK fields, even with RAG based approaches. Purely agent-based approaches risk providing unpredictable output that can diverge from desired documentation processes. Finally, no company’s review and publishing workflow is the same. Quantstruct is the easiest way to onboard and customize AI agents to continuously improve your documentation based on your customer needs and product evolution. https://quantstruct.com
