Floot

YCombinator

The easiest way for non-coders to build apps with AI.

Floot lets non-coders & entrepreneurs build real web apps that actually work. We’re taking a new approach by building everything from the ground up for AI. ✨ Try building an app at floot.com Existing AI app builders fall short of enabling non-coders to build real, serious apps. They often: - Break down when building anything more than a prototype or toy app - Have non-coders stuck with errors they don’t understand - Require non-coders to handle multiple services designed for developers (e.g. for backend, database, hosting, etc) The fundamental problem: these AI app builders just cobble together existing developer tools and slap AI on top, but these tools were designed for humans and not for AI. The result? Non-coders get excited, start building, hit a wall, and then abandon their projects. Floot is purpose-built for AI. Our secret sauce: 1) Instead of reusing a coding framework designed for humans, we created a specialized framework that dictates how AI should write code and how the code runs on our infrastructure. This allows us to enforce best practices, detect errors earlier, and give the best feedback to the AI. As a result, Floot can write better code and fix issues more effectively. 2) Floot has the entire tech stack built-in (backend, database, hosting, etc) so building and managing an app feels seamless, especially for non-coders. And because we control every layer of the stack, we can optimize each layer for AI-first coding. Because of this, non-coders can get more done with less time and prompting. They can finally build serious apps that work, instead of getting stuck in frustrating error loops and then abandoning their projects. We also built a highly scalable hosting system directly on AWS so Floot apps can handle real traffic and business demands. This means non-coders can build, deploy, and scale their apps on a single platform seamlessly. Plus, Floot is really fun to use! Try building an app at floot.com

Floracene

YCombinator

Optimized medical device purchasing for independent providers

Floracene shows independent surgery centers the best-priced equivalent implant for every procedure based on their manufacturer contracts. Every orthopedic surgeon we've talked to says the same thing: 90%+ of expensive implants they use are clinically interchangeable, but the choice comes down to habit, brand comfort, or the device rep. US surgery centers spend ~$7B a year on implants, and in orthopedic and spine cases the implant alone runs ~40-60% of the total cost of the procedure. Roughly ~20-30% of that spend is recoverable by switching to a clinically-equivalent device. Instead of defaulting to the implant they trained on, a surgeon sees the 3+ equivalent options side by side and switches to the one that protects the case's margin. Asaph and Jonah met on the hospitals team at Palantir two years ago, and have each spent the last four years in the plumbing of US healthcare: claims, eligibility, and payor contracting. Asaph was an early PM at Garner. Jonah was a founding engineer at Metriport (YC S22) after starting his own fax-automation startup for fertility clinics. At a big hospital the surgeon picks the implant but isn't spending their own money, so price doesn't impact the decision. At an independent surgery center the physicians own the economics, so a cheaper equivalent goes straight to their bottom line. They have every incentive to switch. They just don't have the information or the tooling.
