Canary
New accelerator entry · 2026-02-13 · the record
In their words
AI coding tools have made developers 100x faster but customer-facing incidents are up 43% YoY, QA hasn't kept up. Canary is the first AI QA engineer that understands your codebase. Instead of relying on flaky DOM scraping or screenshot analysis, Canary reads your source code directly to understand developer intent and catch broken user flows before they hit production. Engineering teams go from weeks of manual testing to 90%+ coverage in days. Built by a team that built coding agents at Windsurf, Cognition and Google.

Is this you?
If you're behind Canary: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
