# Scott AI

> Scott AI is a New York-based Y Combinator (Fall 2025) startup building a planning workspace where engineering teams align on what to build before their coding agents start writing code. Scott runs multiple coding agents in parallel, has them explore different design paths, and surfaces their disagreements so teams can compare tradeoffs and settle on the best spec before handing execution to tools like Claude or Cursor. Founded by ex-Coinbase engineer David Maulick and ex-Comun engineer Devin Cintron, it positions itself as a neutral, agent-agnostic decision layer for multi-agent software development.

- **Founded:** 2025
- **Headquarters:** New York, New York, United States
- **Founders:** David Maulick (CEO & Co-Founder), Devin Cintron (CTO & Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** 3-5

- **Notable:** Accepted into Y Combinator's Fall 2025 (F25) batch, Launched publicly out of stealth in 2025, Founding team with backgrounds at Coinbase, Comun, Bain, and PwC

## Products & services

- **Scott (Planning Workspace)** — A planning workspace where engineering teams align on what to build before coding agents execute. Grants multi-agent swarms secure access to the codebase, runs several agents in parallel to explore different design paths, and surfaces their divergences so teams can compare tradeoffs and choose the best spec.
- **Coding Agent Plan Mode** — A 'plan mode with superpowers' that has multiple coding agents debate architecture and design decisions, exposing disagreements early so teams reach the optimal spec before handing execution to tools like Claude or Cursor.
- **Discovery Layer** — Runs multiple coding agents in parallel across a codebase to identify design divergences and tradeoffs, giving builders a side-by-side view of competing approaches before committing.

## Achievements

- Accepted into Y Combinator's Fall 2025 (F25) batch
- Launched publicly out of stealth in 2025
- Founding team with backgrounds at Coinbase, Comun, Bain, and PwC
- CEO David Maulick previously built developer platforms powering 95% of Coinbase's UI, used by 700+ engineers daily

## Latest updates
