San Francisco, CA — The first generation of AI coding assistants proved that language models could write code. The next generation is about something harder: agents that can work inside real codebases for long-running, multi-step engineering tasks without getting slow, expensive, or unreliable. Morph, a Y Combinator Summer 2023 company based in San Francisco, is […]

A new layer of commerce is forming inside AI assistants, and most brands cannot yet see what is happening inside it. When a shopper asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or another AI assistant to recommend running shoes, protein powder, office supplies, or a lightweight laptop, an entirely new buying journey unfolds. It is not a search […]
Children’s entertainment is in an awkward moment. YouTube and Netflix produce more content than any kid could watch in a lifetime, but parents increasingly find it overstimulating, repetitive, and short on the kind of imaginative play that earlier generations took for granted. Pixley AI, a Y Combinator Fall 2025 startup, is betting that the answer […]
Drug development has long been hobbled by a quietly devastating problem: the same medicine that works for one patient can prove ineffective – or even toxic – for the next. Increasingly, the suspect is the trillions of microbes living inside us. Anto Biosciences, a Y Combinator Fall 2025 company, believes microbiome drug development can finally […]
