In their words
Cenote helps online D2C brands convert more shoppers through AI sales reps that can call and text. Online stores rely on static websites, one-way email and SMS campaigns, and inside sales teams with limited availability. But many purchases are better suited to a conversation: shoppers have questions, need guidance, or simply are not excited to buy based on what's on the site alone. Today, those shoppers are poorly served. Abandoned-checkout campaigns are generic, call centers close, and slow human follow-up allows high-intent leads to go cold. Our customers often see conversion rates below 1% from traditional abandoned-checkout outreach. Cenote's AI reps reach shoppers immediately, remember their context, and continue the conversation across channels and over time. This gives every interested shopper access to a personalized sales rep and helps brands recover revenue from leads they have already paid to acquire.

Is this you?
If you're behind Cenote: 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.
