Building Papaya

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Jensen Huang on why founders don’t need to be right from day one, but they do need to be able to learn quickly:

“The technology that founded the company turns out to be exactly wrong.”

“I went down to Fry’s, and I bought three textbooks... I brought them back to the company. I gave them to the engineers.”

“Everybody would have thought that NVIDIA started out as world leaders in 3D graphics. We learned it from a textbook.”

“The big lesson for me is technology’s changing all the time. So long as you’re able to confront reality, so long as you are able to learn, the technology itself actually doesn’t matter. Since then, NVIDIA has been inventing all kinds of technology."

"We approach everything with the same attitude. If it’s important to do, we’re going to go learn it. How hard can it be? It always turns out to be much, much harder than we expect. But you go into it with the attitude, how hard can it be?”

i’ve always worked long and hard, but i was not prepared for how much harder i'd work being at YC.

two things happen simultaneously when you are a YC founder:

- you are insanely busy -- building, selling all the time. literally no time for anything else. you haven't had time to think about the rest of your life, and you don't have time to catch up with your irl friends like you used to.

- you feel like you are able to accomplish 10-100x more per day than you used to. The urgency and constraints breed strength.

time first shrinks, then expands.

Today we’re launching Papaya (YC F26)!

Papaya continuously improves the quality of your production AI agents.

When an agent doesn’t do what it is asked, or takes too long, customers get frustrated. As every company gets access to the same intelligence, agent quality becomes the competitive advantage.

Papaya learns how customers use your agent, pinpoints where they run into issues, then opens PRs to fix them and tracks the impact.

Built with @macyymay and @vpfaiz

Nobody is looking at Agent agencies. I think it's the next big thing. Follow along here as I explore more over the coming weeks.
