DigitalCarbon

Digitalcarbon transforms ordinary images and videos into interactive, photorealistic 3D environments. Our technology can take photos from any device and render 3D scenes at more than 100 frames per second on everyday devices. The founders were the first and second hires at a previous YC company AssemblyAI, and have more than 8 years of experience building AI models. Creating immersive 3D experiences typically requires complex equipment and suffers from slow rendering speeds. This has limited the

Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Bidflow

match 54

We use AI to help electricians speed up the time it takes to submit a competitive bid to a job. We do this by scanning complex CAD drawings and 10X-ing the time it takes to estimate a job. This involves using vision models to read and count complex symbols in large PDFs, which typically take hours (sometimes days) to do precisely. Every missed symbol can cost thousands, and our AI can count to 99% accuracy.

Lucid

match 44

We are building universe simulations powered by interactive video models. We train video models that simulate hyper-realistic environments with immersive control, replacing hard-coded game or physics engines with dynamic neural networks. We built the fastest action-conditioned diffusion video model (running at 20+fps on a 4090 gaming gpu) to simulate minecraft. It is 5x faster than other minecraft World Models and was trained with 100x less resources. Our unique insight was relying on aggressive

Comfy Deploy

match 44

ComfyUI is the most popular open-source framework to build media generation workflows. However, it's a single-player experience that needs to run on a local GPU. Everyone has different environments and sharing workflows to someone else can take days to get setup. Comfy Deploy fixes this by creating a collaborative workspace, where a teams environemnt, models and workflows can be shared as easily with a link. **Team ComfyUI workspace** • Replacing cobbled-together solutions with a unified, team-f
