In their words
At Talos, we are building better, more modern predictive maintenance for the power industry with a focus on large transformers. Our devices continuously monitor critical power equipment and detect problems early on using anomaly-detection models. For each fault, we provide detailed analyses of the problem, exactly where and why it happened, as well as next steps teams should take.

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