2025 is shaping up to be the "year of AI agents". We've put together a list of startup ideas that we think are especially promising— some draw attention to trends that are already in full swing, and some of them are where we think things are going next. ycombinator.com/rfs
Full-stack AI companies @snowmaker If you build a great AI accountant, why sell it to legacy accounting firms when you could start an AI accounting firm and beat them? We think founders will increasingly choose to do just that, and we're excited to fund more of these full-stack AI companies.
More Design Founders @aaron_epstein As AI tools make coding easier, great design and taste matter more than ever. That's why more designers should become founders. Don't just design products – create companies.
@ycombinator @snowmaker We at Suitable AI are running a full stack AI recruitment agency and wedging our way into enterprise customers like a piece of cake. We’ve applied and hoping for the interview invite soon.

@ycombinator @snowmaker Already in progress on the law firm side and would welcome competitors
