ycombinator · x · 2026-10-23
OpEra, an MIT-built startup in YC's F26 batch, is live with custom AI decision engines for operations teams, covering production scheduling, warehouse planning, and delivery routing.
The pitch is dynamic re-planning: schedules are re-optimized in real time when a machine breaks down, a truck runs late, or an order changes. The company claims it cut delivery costs by 38% for a major retailer within weeks.
