YC launches an AI Office Hours simulator for Startup School attendees
ycombinator · x · 2026-07-27
YC says its Office Hours Simulator lets attendees walk up to a booth, press "start simulation," and get randomly matched with an AI YC partner.
- The partner is aware of who you are and what you're building, based on your application.
- Participants can discuss whatever is on their mind.
- Each partner was trained on hundreds of hours of how YC partners normally run office hours.
- The demo was built by @snowmaker and the YC Software Team for Startup School.
