t's YC Launch day for us @grepdotai! A cool fact: we rebuilt the whole onboarding flow during the weekend. We research the user (with their consent), prepare a profile, and them create a bunch of custom agents for them. This was an agent that'd take minutes. We now use a typed workflow in our own harness (github.com/Parcha-ai/agentru…) with a lot of @typesafeai's Jev and it does it better, in ~ 30 seconds for most users. Give it a try at app.grep.ai/?onboarding=true.

We're building self-improving agents to automate tedious, repetitive operational work @GrepdotAI. At IG, a UK online brokerage, Grep agents review compliance alerts, helping over 80% of traders onboard without manual intervention. IG is now a FTSE 100 company. Operational work often means following a specific procedure, gathering information from different sources, checking it against what's needed, and deciding what to do next. The steps are repetitive, but no job is the same, making the work tedious to do by hand and hard to automate with workflows alone. Meanwhile, using frontier agents to reason through every task is often too expensive to scale. Grep.Al gives you an agent workforce that: -> Takes minutes to create and are domain experts with the right skills and tools from day one. -> Learn from every run, moving repeatable steps into code and workflows and saving frontier intelligence for exceptions and unfamiliar cases. -> Get smarter and cheaper as they scale using our AgentRun harness. -> Runs on our managed agent platform with secure sandboxes, audit logs, evals, cost controls, team sharing, and access controls included. Grep AI agents are available on demand and can run on schedules or in batch. Access them via the console, MCP, API, or SDKs that integrate into your existing workflows. Our customers, including IG, Airwallex, Worldpay, FV Bank, and Citizens Bank, have saved more than 250,000 hours of operational work with Grep Al agents across onboarding, doc verification, compliance, underwriting, operations, HR, GT ops, market research, and business intelligence. If operational bottlenecks are slowing your business down, create an agent workforce with Grep to automate them in minutes. P.S. We're in the @ycombinator Fall 2026 batch!

We’ve spent the past three years building agents for real production work. Our architecture changed a lot along the way. Some of those changes worked. Others produced expensive and occasionally painful lessons. Read this to learn from our mistakes.
