Officers join the force to protect their communities, yet over 40% of their day is eaten by paperwork that keeps them behind a desk. The burden reaches beyond lost time. Burnout is driving officers out of the force, leaving those who remain carrying an even heavier workload. Reconero is built to give that time back. By automating reports, forms, analytics, and more, we help officers finish their administrative paperwork faster, spend more time serving their communities, and protect the time they have with their families.

One simple command handles the entire backend for you. * Connect to Any App: Allow your AI agents to securely log into and interact with everyday tools like Slack, Gmail, and GitHub in just a few clicks.

Production agents handle many different customer workflows. Currently, when one handles a situation badly, an engineer reads the trace and patches the prompt. The next situation needs another exception. Soon, improving the agent becomes a recurring engineering job, and the prompt keeps growing. Mirrors finds patterns in past runs. Engineers review guidance for a specific situation and preview where it would apply. Mirrors then delivers that guidance while the agent works, inside the team’s existing setup. The team can check whether the change improved the outcome. We’re building Mirrors for engineering teams running customer-facing agents across varied workflows, so they can improve behavior without hardcoding every lesson in the global prompt.

ByteAsk is an AI coding agent built for C and C++, the code that runs trading systems, cars, chips, and operating systems. It does not stop at a diff that looks right. ByteAsk builds, debugs, and tests every change with the real toolchain until the change holds. If the compiler, the debugger, or the tests can catch it, then ByteAsk catches it too. It runs from the terminal or inside VS Code, Neovim, and Emacs, and is available fully on-prem.

Restaurants send orders to food distributors by email, text, and photo. Someone at the distributor retypes every one of them into the ERP. Asakana does that entry instead: orders land in the ERP already entered, and anything unclear goes to a person before it goes in. Live at US seafood distributors today, returning 40%+ of order-desk time to selling. Founded by a seafood distributor and a Gemini builder.

Covera is the AI-native operating system for independent P&C insurance agencies. It lives inside the agency's AMS and inbox and runs agentic AI workflows across the whole client journey, from the first email to the next renewal. Producers quote first and win more business; CSRs and account managers stop retyping data. Submissions, for producers: every new request becomes a ready file, one click keys every carrier portal for a first quote during the call, quotes come back side by side, and binding updates the AMS with no double entry. Servicing, for CSRs and account managers: answers about any account with their source, COIs and follow-ups drafted, renewal reminders 90, 60 and 30 days out with remarketing when premiums jump, and coverage gaps across the book turned into cross-sell leads. Agencies using Covera go from lead to quote in 5 minutes, save 10 hours a week per user and win 20% more deals against competitors. Every action is reviewed by the agency team and logged for E&O. Works with Applied Epic, AMS360, QQCatalyst, HawkSoft, EZLynx, Momentum, Gmail and Outlook. Built by the founders of Simio (conversational AI, acquired in 2024).

Marker is a platform for rebuilding enterprises agent-first, delivered by forward-deployed engineers. It productizes every step from discovery to production, so every agent we ship makes the next one faster.

Neomatter connects to a company’s email, chat, and business systems and does the legal work before it reaches the legal team. It gathers context, applies company policies and past decisions, and presents the completed work to in-house counsel for approval.

CarSignal is the AI-native operating system for independent auto repair shops. Most shops still run each repair across disconnected management software, scan tools, parts catalogs, service information, texts, spreadsheets, and knowledge kept in technicians’ heads. That fragmentation slows diagnosis, creates duplicate processes, and leaves customers waiting. CarSignal connects the full repair process in one system. AI agents research vehicle-specific failure patterns and surface the tests that confirm or rule out each cause. The same system carries each job from booking and intake through inspections, estimates, parts, approvals, payment, and follow-up, so technicians spend less time searching and updating systems and more time fixing cars.

85% of all sales still happen face-to-face. Coach is how those get closed. Our AI turns in-depth sales conversation analysis into company knowledge and personalized coaching to help reps close more deals.

Executor.sh is an MCP gateway that allows you to sign in once to all of your integrations and use them with any client.

If you're trying to scale agents to access all of your production services, data, etc, you need Executor as a unified management layer.

Ekho predicts the wars, strikes and tariffs that break global shipping, and tells freight teams which shipments are exposed and what to do about them. Predicting escalation is what our team did for eight years before this - now we bring the same engine to logistics.

TL;DR: PokerClubHub is the first licensed poker club platform. We protect players’ deposits and allow anyone to open their own poker club and make money. Regulated online poker sites like PokerStars have open player pools and thus are full of pros and bots, driving players to unregulated private clubs. Existing poker club platforms like ClubGG have no payments processing. Players deposit with a club owner by sending them crypto for play-money chips. In theory, these chips can be exchanged back for money. However, players can get scammed and withdrawing takes ages. This model is also broken for honest club owners who have to manually process hundreds of deposits a day. They lose out on rake when they sleep and struggle to get players to trust them. On PokerClubhub, players deposit with PokerClubHub, not the club owner. We handle all deposits and withdrawals for the club owner, saving them time and increasing their earnings. We pay the rake (if any) to club owners as affiliate fees. We hold the same gaming license as BetHog (built by founders of FanDuel) and Nexa Poker (part of World Poker Tour). Player deposits are secured using Fireblocks. You can also play rake-free games with your friends and acquaintances on our platform. We ensure that everyone pays up.

AI apps such as ChatGPT and Claude have become part of everyone's daily workflow, but they introduce new security risks that traditional security tools weren't built to handle. Security teams at companies from startups to Fortune 500s, are struggling to keep up. Traceforce gives a company’s security team visibility of how AI apps are being used across company’s devices, and the ability to detect and prevent security breaches and unsafe actions as early as possible.

Rapidfolio helps banks and fintechs fully automate back-office workflows like fraud investigations, KYB/KYC and loan underwriting, with accuracy and auditability. Built by fintech founders and operators, Rapidfolio is on a mission to ensure banks and fintechs scale their customer base without adding another back-office head count.

Assemble accelerates IT teams by performing development work inside core enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, and HRIS. Our agents help IT teams scope dependencies, build logic, and validate changes across your systems.

With tools like Cursor and Claude Code, writing software is no longer the bottleneck. Debugging is. Agents cannot fix production crashes using logs and traces that were sized for human eyeballs. The gap is missing data. HyperProbe allows agents to debug live software autonomously. Our SDK drops non-breaking probes straight into running services to read exact variable states from memory at the moment of failure, instead of reasoning backwards from flat logs. Zero redeploys. Under 1% CPU overhead. Automatic PII redaction. We turn 4-hour production war rooms into 10-minute automated resolutions. As agents write and operate more of the world's software, HyperProbe is the runtime observability layer that lets them understand what they built.

Trope deploys custom AI agents into ERPs for mid-market companies. Every ERP is heavily customized, so useful agents need custom deployment too. Trope’s AI FDE learns each business and ERP, then builds and deploys agents, turning the last mile from services into software.

We build Maxxwell, a desktop app for people who run several coding agents at once. Past two or three sessions, you become the bottleneck. Every session asks you something, most of it small, and you spend the day answering instead of deciding. It is also hard to tell which sessions are making progress, which are stuck on something trivial, and which have quietly started building the wrong thing. Maxxwell puts every session in one window and marks each one working, idle, or waiting on you. On top of that sits an orchestrator, a real coding-agent session of its own that reads the others and reports back. You talk to it instead of to twelve terminals. It tells you what landed, what it decided for you, and what actually needs your call. Every worker is your own tool, unmodified. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor Agent run in real terminal sessions you can attach to and take over at any point

Screenpipe records and learns how people in your company work and turns it into a searchable memory, documents, and AI agents. Model agnostic and data is stored on your device and/or where your team choose, source available.

LemonLime runs fully automated sales and marketing for small businesses. Every morning, LemonLime finds you new leads and drafts personalized outreach, prepares branded content, and identifies untapped sales & marketing opportunities. All you have to do is click send.

Prized is a cloud development environment that feels local on your Mac. Developers get a dedicated, persistent machine with their repos, dependencies, and tools already configured. Files sync into a real local folder, remote ports appear on localhost, and terminals persist through tmux, so developers and coding agents can keep working even after the laptop closes. Machines can be resized or cloned as workloads grow, without rebuilding the development environment.

Definite is where finance teams build everyday back-office agents on one live model of their books. We plug into your ERP, ledger, payroll, and payments read-only and compile everything into one clean model that stays current as money moves. Your back-office team then builds agents on top in plain English. We never write back and we never move money. The agents are yours, the plumbing is ours. We met in first year computer science at Waterloo and interned at Meta, Optiver, and BitGo. At Optiver they ran an n8n hackathon and the interns automated basically nothing. It couldn't talk to the systems that mattered. When we pitched banks and fintechs on agents, they kept telling us the same thing. The agent isn't the hard part, getting clean data out of their systems is. Right now, automating anything in a back office means engineers hand-stitching data from a dozen sources in different formats on different schedules. Tools like n8n and Workato assume your data is already clean and joined. In finance it never is. So the teams with the most repetitive work and smallest budgets get nothing. The hard part is the compiler. Every source gets cleaned, matched, and joined into one live model of transactions, invoices, vendors, and payments, and it has to stay right as money lands every day. Everyone throws engineers at this. We're doing it once so nobody has to again. Every back office is getting agents eventually. Whoever owns the data they read from owns the thing all of them depend on, and eventually the books themselves. That's what we're building.

Whitespace builds AI agents that run the entire operation of supply chain businesses, starting with wholesale distributors. We give them self-improving AI agents that learn their business and do work like inventory planning and customer service. We're building towards a world where all supply chain operations run through our agents, and all physical goods purchases can happen across businesses without human touch.

FlowManual is the all-in-one AI estimating, bidding, and purchasing platform for both general and MEP construction contractors. Built by two engineers and Harvard dropouts, FlowManual automates the buying process during pre-construction. With FlowManual, specialty contractors win more work while general contractors deliver at higher standards.

Poth is an agentic research platform that connects to your company data, creates hypotheses about what might be causing problems, and validates them using both existing data and adaptive user feedback.

Marble is the first AI-native operating system for the restaurant back-of-house. Restaurants, cafes and bars still run on a patchwork of disconnected point solutions, spreadsheets, clipboards and tribal knowledge, which costs the industry billions each year in stockouts, food waste, and lost profit. Marble replaces that entire stack with one system. Computer vision and voice AI capture real-time inventory levels 90% faster than manual counts, ML models forecast item-level demand at 97% accuracy, and AI agents run dozens of end-to-end workflows autonomously, from procurement and invoice reconciliation to scheduling, food prep, menu engineering, and more.

Care GP is building AI agents to run operations for primary healthcare clinics

We've worked with 130 life science companies, preclinical through phase 3, to deploy AI securely inside the systems they already work in. Pharma runs on decades of closed software like Benchling, Veeva, Medidata, and SAS. None of it has an AI layer or speaks MCP, so agents cannot reach the systems where the work lives. Enjamb is that layer. Our agents run on top of existing systems and data, with no migration, and they reach the lab systems and internal tools no other AI touches. They learn how a team works, then do the work in Slack, in Teams, and in the systems themselves, across preclinical research, clinical evidence, trial design, statistical programming, and regulatory submissions. This is AI tailored for how medicine gets made.

Describe an experiment in plain English, and Infera turns it into a validated, instrument-ready run across the equipment your lab already uses. Infera handles the protocol logic, vendor-specific scripts, data, inventory, and institutional knowledge in one system. An AI-native compiler for the lab: one system from intent to execution.

Sidekick is an AI agent that runs custom manufacturing operations over text. Workers text a problem, photo, video, or voice memo and get an answer from the shop's own documents. It reads live machine data and acts on its own: flagging issues before they become downtime, opening and routing work orders, and placing purchase orders. No app, no login. These shops run on tribal knowledge: a handful of veterans know how every job is set up, and they are retiring. Sidekick learns from every message it handles, so answers outlive the people who gave them, and shops run 15% more jobs with the same crew. Sidekick captures it as a byproduct of the work, in an industry that was never documented.

Enterprise software implementation is broken, and it has been for decades. Every rollout, whether it's a traditional ERP or a new AI system, requires months of manual integration, configuration, and tuning done by armies of system integrators and forward-deployed engineers. Lab0 builds agentic systems that automate this layer, compressing months-long implementations into weeks.

We build human foundation models. Our first family of models powers lifelike avatars that interact with users in real time, enabling AI agents and applications to go beyond text and voice with just a few lines of code. State-of-the-art realism with ultra-low latency at scale.
