In their words
AI agents are the newest audience brands need to speak to, but go-to-market teams don't have the tools to understand how they form opinions or make decisions. Unusual helps brands in the Fortune 100 and scale-ups like Change.org and Astronomer drive more sales and win more market share by shifting how AI models perceive their offerings. We work closely with every brand to (1) identify the root cause of AI misperception, (2) align on marketing, sales, and product strategies that appeal to agents, and (3) build infrastructure and content that makes their strongest proof more legible to agents. Our methodology centers on applying black-box interpretability techniques to AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude to understand how they form opinions about a brand and its competitors. Seeing the *why* behind each opinion gives us the ability to create targeted interventions that change them.

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