AI agents

Midplane

Companies are connecting AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude directly to their databases — where one wrong command can delete data or leak customer records. Midplane sits in between and controls what each agent is allowed to do: it blocks dangerous queries, hides sensitive data, and keeps a record of everything the agent touches. It’s open source, and runs either as a hosted service or on your own servers.

Rivet

match 61

Rivet is a visual AI editor for product designers to make UI changes. Designers ship the changes they make directly to their codebase. The most painful problem for designers today is that their vision doesn't match code. Rivet replaces slow collaboration between designers and engineers by letting designers just do it themselves. Rivet's editor helps turn product designers into design engineers. Design-led companies in YC are Rivet customers. Learn more at rivet.design
