Hey YC! 👋 We're Akshay and Ashwin, and we're building Spine Swarm.

TL;DR

You describe a project. A team of AI agents spins up, works in parallel on a visual canvas, and delivers finished outputs: market reports, financial models, slide decks, interactive prototypes. Free to get started, no setup needed.

❌ The Problem

AI agents for coding have crossed a threshold. Tools like Cursor and Claude Code let engineers describe a project and come back to finished, working code. That experience doesn't exist yet for the rest of the work that drives a company forward.

As coding gets increasingly automated, the bottleneck is moving upstream: strategy documents, competitive analysis, financial modeling, sales collateral, market research, SEO audits, rapid prototyping. These are multi-hour, multi-step projects that require pulling information from many sources, structuring it, and producing polished output.

Today's AI tools treat this kind of work as a conversation. You get a chat thread, local file management, and one model doing everything sequentially. For simple tasks that works fine. But for complex projects, the single-chat paradigm breaks down. You end up managing the AI instead of letting it manage the work.

We've been building at this intersection for 3 years. Last year we launched Spine Canvas, a visual workspace for orchestrating AI models. Swarm is the next step: the canvas now has autonomous agents that can take on entire projects from start to finish.

🛠 Our Solution

Spine Swarm gives you a team of AI agents that work together on a visual canvas. You describe the project, and Spine spins up specialized agents in parallel, each handling a different part of the work. You can watch them execute in real time, inspect each artifact as it's created, and edit anything in place.

• Multi-agent execution: Spine orchestrates a team of agents across your project. For a competitive analysis, one agent researches market data, another structures the findings, another builds the slide deck. They work simultaneously, not sequentially, and can run autonomously for 80+ minutes on large projects.
• Intelligent model selection: We route between 300+ models, picking the best one for each step and ensembling multiple models to override any single model's biases. You don't configure any of this.
• Visual canvas: Every artifact your agents produce appears on a shared canvas where you can inspect, compare, edit, and branch. No chat windows, no file systems.

Everything Spine builds is downloadable and hosted at a shareable link. Just send your team the URL.

📊 Why This Works

A common question we hear: "You're using the same models everyone else has access to. Why would the output be better?"

We recently scored 87.6% on Google DeepMind's DeepSearchQA, a benchmark that measures how well AI answers complex research questions requiring multi-step reasoning across sources:

Three things drive this:

• Model routing and ensembling: Spine selects the best model from 300+ options for each step and ensembles multiple models to override any single model's biases or blind spots.
• Orchestration: How you decompose a complex task, coordinate agents across steps, and manage handoffs between them matters as much as the models themselves.
• Intelligent canvas: Agents work on a shared canvas where they can read each other's outputs, build on previous steps, and assemble coherent deliverables. This also means every step is fully auditable, so you can trace how agents arrived at their conclusions and verify their reasoning.

🚀 Tasks Worth Trying

• "Audit [your website URL] and produce a full SEO analysis, competitive landscape, and a prioritized growth roadmap with a slide deck." You'll see agents browsing your site, researching competitors, and assembling deliverables simultaneously.
• "I'm preparing to fundraise. Here are my company details: [paste]. Build me a pitch deck, competitive landscape with market sizing, a financial model, and personalized outreach emails for target investors."
• "Here's a product idea: [describe it]. Generate three different interactive prototypes and landing pages exploring different design directions, alongside a PRD and go-to-market strategy."
