Y Combinator Open-Sources QM, Its Internal Multi-Agent Framework
ycombinator · x · 2026-08-01
Y Combinator has decided to open-source QM, a multi-agent harness used internally, under the MIT license.
- Key Features: Designed to be easily customizable (like Hermes or OpenClaw), QM is cloud-first and comes with native Slack and Web UI integrations.
- Use Cases: YC actively uses the framework across various departments, including accounting, legal, events, and engineering (even using it to build QM itself).
- Background: The project incorporates valuable lessons learned by the YC team from repeatedly building and refining their internal agent infrastructure.
