Omnara — The open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents

The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.

Previously I was an AI infra engineer at Microsoft, where I built and led Kaito (https://github.com/kaito-project/kaito/graphs/contributors). Before that, I worked on ML at Windsor (YC W19, acquired 2024) and interned at Roblox. I hold a BS/MCS in CS from UIUC.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind Omnara: 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. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
