• Wordware (YC S24) ) is a toolkit that enables anyone to build, iterate, and deploy their AI stack easily. Our unique approach is centered around Natural Language Programming. Long term we see ourselves as an AI Operating System (aiOS) that acts as an orchestration layer for LLMs, databases, and tools.
• Sign up for free using this link: app.wordware.ai
• Primary Tool for Millions of AI Engineers coming to the market in the next 5 years
• Our users range from AI Tinkerers (free tier) to small startups (for example – 7 YC clients on Company Plan – 899 USD/month) ending at bigger enterprises (Instacart is a client)
• ⁠In the last 2 months, we went viral a couple of times:
  • We built twitter.wordware.ai, demonstrating the potential of our platform. 6.5M users and still counting.
  • Our Product Hunt launch went well (7000 upvotes; we even broke their servers)
• Since our launch (2nd of August) we grew from 10k users on our main product, to over 300k today.
• Repeat founders (Filip Kozera and Robert Chandler) both with exits
• They’ve known each other for the last 10 years following their research at Cambridge. They have been building companies in Transformers and AI Ops. They have worked full-time on companies together for the last 3 years.
• The Wordware team is 9 ppl all based in SF.
• Product + Community Led Growth

note: we're in hustle mode. we're shipping as fast as we can. this is not the kind of job you can cruise and 9-5. only apply if you want to grind, work late nights, and be part of a generational company. We are an onsite company (SF), expect a big house where the founders live, free food, beers and cool team activities.

So we are here, you are looking for a job at a startup huh?

⁉️ What’s it going to be like ⁉️

In Shackleton's famous words: “People wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in the event of success.”

• Why tho?

  Risk + Excitement + Hard Work == Startup. Sure, you could join a big company and make decent money but it's that constant thrill of hope, the addictive energy that makes Robert and I come back to startups over and over again 😵‍💫

  To thrive here, you’ve got to embrace this delulu universe, where the victories give us hope and the failures make us want it even more. Yes, we work late hours and often deal with some bullshit, but you'll be part of something bigger and even more, you will have a direct impact on EVERYTHING.

  If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, identify your own features to build, and find your own problems to solve, then come on in. Grab a beer and a slice of pizza, and dive into creating the future of natural language programming and AI agents. Together, we'll revolutionize the way we work. Green Light. 🟢

So, what is Wordware?

***Wordware** is a prompt-first programming language that can be used by non-developers (AI Engineers). We merge concepts like loops, logic and functions from the world of classical programming with the non-deterministic nature of Language Models. It’s exposed in a web-hosted IDE with features like sharing, forking and API deployment.*

Try some prompts on app.wordware.ai/explore ← This is important and it is expected that you should have played around with wordware before you apply

Something didnt work out? come join the rocketship, still a lot of uncertainty but some things are working

P.S. if you are not an ex-YC founder (previously accepted to a YCombinator batch) DO NOT APPLY — this note is because of number of random applications

• Full-stack Typescript, Next.js, React and SST serverless on AWS/Cloudflare
• Using TipTap as the core of our IDE with Y.js for collaboration
• PartyKit (Cloudflare Durable Objects) for Y.js websockets and likely for future orchestration of pipelines
• Open source LLMs hosted by Together AI (we’re a customer story on their website) + Groq + OpenAI/Anthropic/Mistral/Google/Cohere/Perplexity for proprietary LLMs
