withHuman is an open source approval layer for AI Agents. When you want agents to take consequential actions like refund a customer, that's when withHuman is useful. It is a centralized point where you can encode rules like "refunds < $10 can be done automatically, anything more than that, send it to the on-call from customer support". You write your rules once and connect all of your agents, no changes needed, its transparent to the agent.

If you're behind withHuman: 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.
