Ambria (YC W24)

Ambria is a San Francisco startup building AI agents for the industrial world - production-ready agents that automate back-office operations across manufacturing and distribution. Founded by UIUC classmates Praneeth Guduguntla and Arman Rafati, the company went through Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch, where it first launched as Glimmer, an AI search engine for massive PDFs, before turning its document-reasoning expertise toward the paperwork-heavy back offices of industrial companies.
