Yuma is developing the most advanced AI agent orchestration platform, dedicated to customer support and ecommerce. We are automating the heavy burden that large Shopify merchants face in their day-to-day activities. This market is vast and homogeneous, and every single merchant needs Yuma. We have a head start in this space, but we will not rest until we are the clear winner in the e-commerce customer support AI market.
Yuma was launched in early 2023 by a third-time YC founder and is already serving hundreds of paying customers.
We have a Ruby on Rails API backend, which is coupled with Postgres, Redis, and Sidekiq. The frontend is built using React and NextJS. Our approach to LLMs is custom-made and tightly integrated with our backend. We have full introspection and logging for every API call we make.
Our approach is heavily product-first, but since we are addressing a problem with new technology, some of our work may be more research-oriented. We don't have all the answers yet on how to solve this problem, and we need to experiment and try out different approaches in a fast, iterative manner.
With already a hundred paying customers, we are already facing some interesting scaling challenges as well.
