In their words
AI apps such as ChatGPT and Claude have become part of everyone's daily workflow, but they introduce new security risks that traditional security tools weren't built to handle. Security teams at companies from startups to Fortune 500s, are struggling to keep up. Traceforce gives a company’s security team visibility of how AI apps are being used across company’s devices, and the ability to detect and prevent security breaches and unsafe actions as early as possible.

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