Interfaze
Interfaze is a San Francisco AI startup building a model purpose-built for deterministic developer tasks - OCR, web scraping, speech-to-text, object detection and classification - where consistency and verifiable output matter more than open-ended chat. Its hybrid architecture fuses specialized neural networks (CNN/DNN) directly into a transformer decoder, and the model ships as an OpenAI-compatible API with confidence scores, bounding boxes and metadata so developers can build rule-based systems on top. Founded by Yoeven Khemlani and Harsha Vardhan Khurdula, Interfaze is part of Y Combinator's 2026 batch and grew out of the team's earlier developer-API company, JigsawStack.
Keye
Keye is a New York-based AI company (YC F24) building a due diligence platform exclusively for private equity. It converts raw deal files into structured, audit-ready analyses, using what the company calls deterministic AI - natural-language understanding paired with code-based execution - so that every number ties back to a source, formula, or quote. Funds representing more than $1.4T in AUM use it to cut days off each deal.
Scaled Cognition
Scaled Cognition is a Mountain View AI company building what it calls the first Agentic Pretrained Transformer (APT), a model designed and trained specifically for taking reliable, policy-adherent actions rather than just predicting language. Founded by the team behind Semantic Machines (acquired by Microsoft in 2018), it targets enterprise customer-experience workflows where mistakes and hallucinations are unacceptable - financial services, healthcare, telecom, and insurance. In June 2026 the company raised a $100M Series A led by Khosla Ventures to expand its research team and accelerate enterprise deployments.
Kognitos
Kognitos is a Mountain View-based enterprise AI company that lets business users automate back-office operations by writing instructions in plain English. Its patented neurosymbolic platform, Koncierge, pairs the language understanding of large language models with a deterministic symbolic execution engine, aiming to run automations that are auditable and free of hallucinations. Founded in 2020 by former Nutanix CTO Binny Gill, the company pitches itself as a modern alternative to legacy RPA tools like UiPath and has raised roughly $85M across seed, Series A, and a $25M Series B.
