Built from our own conviction. Reinforced by the market.
Ideas we believed in, and that investors like Y Combinator and a16z later asked founders to build.
Six of them are already in Par.
Y Combinator · Requests for Startups, Summer 2026
Company Brain
“It's a living map of how a company works: how refunds get handled, how pricing exceptions are decided or how engineers respond to incidents.”Tom Blomfield · April 2026
In Par: what one person's AI figures out, everyone's AI already knows. People, projects and decisions, each with where it came from.
Y Combinator · Requests for Startups, Fall 2026
A Cloud for Small Software
“Small software should be as easy to share with your colleagues as a Google Doc.”Pete Koomen · July 2026
In Par: ask your AI for an app. It's online right away, and you share it with a link.
No server. No setup. Just the link.
Y Combinator · Requests for Startups, Summer 2026
Dynamic Software Interfaces
“We think that in the future, software companies will ship these shared primitives with full intention that users will heavily modify the final interfaces.”Ankit Gupta · April 2026
In Par: shared memories and files, a different app for each person. Everyone asks for the screen they need.
Y Combinator · Requests for Startups, Fall 2026
Multiplayer AI
“But AI hasn't had its multiplayer moment yet.”Aaron Epstein · July 2026
In Par: everyone keeps their own AI, and the apps and memories are shared. Each person sees, right away, what the others' AIs changed.
Y Combinator · Requests for Startups, Summer 2026
Software for Agents
“Instead of visual interfaces like forms, buttons, and dashboards, they need machine-readable interfaces like APIs, MCPs, and CLIs.”Aaron Epstein · May 2026
In Par: your AI can read what’s in an app, update it and change how it works, just by talking with you.
You choose what your AI can reach, and approve a change when it needs you.
a16z speedrun · Big Ideas from the Investors
GUIs for agents
“At speedrun, we're looking for bold founders excited to bring the power of agents to normies everywhere.”Jonathan Lai · May 2026
In Par: what your AI knows becomes an app anyone opens on a phone. No code to run, no files.
Par keeps your life and your work in one place. The AI you already use, like Claude or Gemini, builds apps on it. How it works
