AI that doesn't guess. Ever.

The Stockholm firm behind Elbot and 17,000 live AI agents says it can automate contact centers without the guesswork. The catch: it has to survive its own cash crunch first.
Spine AI (YC S23) is a San Francisco startup building coordination software for AI agents. Its current product, Medley, is a plugin for Claude Code: you type /mission and Medley breaks the request into a plan, spins up a coordinated team of agents across different models, runs them in parallel with human approval gates, and tracks the whole job on a shared mission board. Founded by Akshay Budhkar and Ashwin Venkatesh Raman, the company argues that a governed team of agents beats any single model working alone.
Legion Intelligence is a San Francisco company building a governed, agentic AI platform for national security and regulated enterprises. Formerly Yurts, it lets defense agencies and Fortune 500 teams deploy and orchestrate AI agents across cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, and classified networks (IL-2 through IL-6) using any large language model, with human-in-the-loop control and full auditability. Its platform has been fielded at U.S. Special Operations Command, the U.S. Army, and the Department of Energy, where it cut intelligence-summary creation time by 94% and saved staff hundreds of hours per week.
Orkes is an enterprise workflow orchestration company built by the creators of Netflix's open-source Conductor engine. It offers a fully managed, cloud-hosted platform that lets developers build, run, and scale durable workflows across microservices, APIs, and - increasingly - AI agents, giving companies a reliable way to put long-running, event-driven, and agentic processes into production without reinventing the underlying orchestration plumbing.
DBOS, Inc. is a San Francisco- and Cambridge-based developer infrastructure company commercializing durable execution technology born from a joint MIT-Stanford research project led by Postgres creator Michael Stonebraker and Apache Spark creator Matei Zaharia. Its flagship open-source library, DBOS Transact, adds crash-proof workflow orchestration and built-in observability to ordinary Python and TypeScript programs by persisting application state in Postgres, so software resumes exactly where it left off after a failure - without a separate workflow server. The company pairs the library with DBOS Conductor and DBOS Cloud for managing and hosting reliable backends, AI agents, and long-running workflows.
StackAI is a San Francisco no-code platform for building, deploying, and governing custom AI agents that automate back-office work across enterprise systems like Salesforce, Slack, and Google Workspace. Founded in 2023 by MIT robotics PhDs Antoni 'Toni' Rosinol and Bernardo Aceituno out of Y Combinator's W23 batch, it grew to 100+ enterprise customers and processed over a million documents before Asana acquired it in May 2026 for a reported $75 million to anchor its 'operating system for human-agent teams.'
