Dune is a context-aware Mac keypad whose three keys adapt to your app and Claude
Most desk gadgets do one fixed thing. Dune, a context-aware keypad for Mac, takes the opposite approach: it sits beside your keyboard and changes what its three keys do in real time based on whatever app is in the foreground. ## What Dune does The three keys remap themselves as you switch apps — one… Continue reading

Samora AI runs multilingual voice agents that handle high-volume calls end to end
High-volume phone operations — collections, recruiting screens, support lines — are expensive to staff and hard to scale across languages. Samora AI, a YC W26 startup, runs multilingual voice agents that take those calls end to end so companies don’t have to build the stack themselves. ## What Samora AI does Samora handles real inbound… Continue reading

Kestrel AI resolves cloud and Kubernetes incidents in seconds for platform teams
When a cloud or Kubernetes incident hits at 3am, the slow part is rarely the fix — it is finding the root cause. Kestrel AI, a Y Combinator F25 startup, is an AI automation layer for platform engineering teams built to collapse that gap. ## What Kestrel does Kestrel monitors cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure 24/7… Continue reading

Anima turns Figma designs into production code and powers tools like Bolt and Replit
The handoff from design to code is one of the oldest friction points in software, and Anima has spent years attacking it. The AI design-to-code platform now reports more than 1.5 million installs and, in February 2026, a strategic investment from IBM to push deeper into enterprise teams. ## What Anima does Anima converts professional… Continue reading

Alter gives AI agents zero-trust identity so every tool call is authenticated
Letting an AI agent act on production systems raises an obvious question: what is it actually allowed to do, and who says so? Alter, a Y Combinator startup, answers that with a zero-trust identity and access control platform built specifically for AI agents. ## What Alter does Alter wraps every tool call an agent makes… Continue reading

AutoEdit uses Claude to cut silences and bad takes inside Premiere Pro
Rough-cutting raw footage is the tedious part of video editing — scrubbing the timeline for silences, filler words, and the take where you finally got the line right. AutoEdit, a Claude-powered plugin whose full version launched in June 2026, does that pass for you inside Adobe Premiere Pro. ## What AutoEdit does The key idea… Continue reading

Salus is a runtime guardrail that checks every action your AI agent takes
An AI agent that can process refunds or change customer records is useful right up until it does the wrong one. Salus, a YC W2026 startup, is built for exactly that risk: a runtime guardrail layer that checks every action an agent takes before it executes. ## How Salus works Salus is a policy-aware proxy.… Continue reading

Orthogonal gives AI agents one MCP server to buy and call 50+ paid APIs
APIs were built for developers with accounts and contracts, not for autonomous agents that need data mid-task. Orthogonal, a YC W2026 startup, rebuilds that layer for agents: it gives them instant access to 50+ premium APIs through a single MCP server with pay-per-call credits. ## What Orthogonal does Instead of managing dozens of API keys… Continue reading

Zenbu is an extensible IDE built for orchestrating your coding agents
As coding agents move from novelty to daily driver, the editor around them matters more. Zenbu, a Y Combinator Spring 2026 project, is an extensible IDE built specifically for orchestrating coding agents rather than bolting them onto a traditional editor. ## What Zenbu does The pitch is that you shape Zenbu around exactly how you… Continue reading

AgentPhone gives every AI agent its own phone number for calls and texts
AI agents are getting good at acting online, but the phone network is still mostly closed to them. AgentPhone, a Y Combinator Spring 2026 startup, fixes that by giving every AI agent its own phone number for both voice and messaging through a single API. ## What AgentPhone does Developers provision a number in seconds,… Continue reading
