In their words
Kinect builds AI agents that know your brand, your catalog, and your customers. On your site, they sell every visitor — running the conversation, adapting product pages in real time to each customer segment, picking the right recommendation for the question being asked. The agent picks up on what each shopper actually wants from how they ask, what they hesitate on, what they compare, and what objection makes them bounce. We take all of a brand's data and make a structured catalog, brand voice, fit notes, return reasons, segment-level nuance — all so the Kinect agents truly can speak about a brand. When an agent describes the brand, the version it describes is the one you'd want them to, not whatever it guessed from a public catalog scrape. We expose this data as well in the form of agent storefronts, letting every other AI talk about your brand in the way you would want too. We're building for human shoppers today and the AI agents that shop and discover for them. Either way, the entire website needs to get a lot smarter and personalized. Two surfaces. One layer. Built for scaling DTC ecommerce brands.

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