Your company's brain.
Your team works.Par remembers.Your AIs make the apps.
Picture a startup testing a tracker for dog collars. Its teams share one Par.
Built from our own conviction. Reinforced by the market.
They gave a name to a direction we were already building.

Different AI. Different computer. Same Par.
Beta testers say the map puts their dog on the wrong street.
Hana, in Support, asks her AI to investigate. After two hours, it saves the answer in Par.
The next morning, her teammate Kofi, in Engineering, asks his AI about the same problem. It finds Hana’s answer in Par.
What did Hana's AI save?
The answer, and where it came from. Why dogs showed on the wrong street, the beta notes it read, how sure it was, and the date.
Who sees it. Everyone on the team, through the AI each of them already uses.
Is this a wiki? No. Nobody wrote a page. Hana asked a question, and her AI kept what it found.
It happened to us first. One of us spent two hours with an AI finding out why an automation kept stopping. The next person who asked got the answer in seconds.
Why any AI can read it…machine-readable interfaces like APIs, MCPs, and CLIs.

Par is built that way, so the AI each person already uses, Claude, Gemini, Cursor and others, connects to the same Par.
New here? Ask why. Par shows who decided, and when.
Launch moves to 16 November Decided by Noor in Product and Kofi in Engineering · 14 October“…AI hasn't had its multiplayer moment yet.” (opens in a new tab)Aaron Epstein · Y Combinator, Requests for Startups, Fall 2026 · July 2026 Copy link
Everyone keeps their own AI. The work is shared.
Forty pet shops get their tags on 9 November.
Sam in Sales and his Support teammate Hana each use their own AI on the same list of shops.
Each one sees, right away, what the other's AI changed.
How do they see it right away?
Every change an AI saves shows up at once on every screen that has the app open.
Nobody passes messages along. Each person keeps the AI they already use.

Like Notion, but for the apps your team runs on.
The tag launches on 16 November.
Noor, their teammate in Product, asks her AI for a launch board.
Minutes later, the whole team has it open.
Who can open it?
Everyone on the team. The board reads and writes the same Par as their AIs, so it is never out of date.
Someone from outside the company can join just this one app, to look or to edit.

One Par. A screen for each person.
Their Engineering teammate Yusuf tests tags at the bench all day.
He asks for today's battery tests, big, on the bench tablet.
His AI makes him his own screen from the same Par.

Show your AI once. The whole team can do it. No code to keep.
Sam in Sales knows how to bring a new pet shop on board.
He does it once with his AI and says: save this as our way.
Now it's a command in everyone's AI.
Shop setup
Team command · saved by Sam's AI · 12 Oct

Used 14 times this month · Bea, Hana, Kofi
Who can change it?
Anyone on the team, through their own AI. Each person can keep their own version, and the ones the team uses most show up first.
Who sees what.
- Everyone on the team reads the same Par.
- Work goes in. Personal life stays out.
- Anything that writes to your other tools waits for a yes.
The details
Roles. Owners and members. A guest can join one app only, and sees nothing else.
Ask first. Each person can choose to approve every save their AI makes.
Nothing disappears quietly. Deleting is logged.
One company, one Par. Each company's Par is separate.
The same Par works for you, your family, your friends, your team and your company.
Nobody figures out the same thing twice.
Connect your AI to Par, ask it one question your team keeps asking, and save the answer for everyone.
Every quote links to where it was said. Y Combinator and the funds quoted here wrote in public; none of them speaks for Par, and none of them is connected to Par.
