Challenge: RFS Summer 2026
AI has moved past being a feature; it's now the foundation.
We're excited about a new wave of startups rebuilding software, services, and silicon, while pushing AI further into the physical world.
Participants will choose their own track from Y Combinator's Summer 2026 Requests for Startups. Not sure where to start? Here are a few tracks to consider:
1. Company Brain — Tom BlomfieldBuild a system that pulls scattered company knowledge (from people's heads, old emails, Slack threads, support tickets, and databases) into one structured, living map of how the company actually works, then turns that into an executable skills file so AI agents can do the work safely and consistently.
2. The AI Operating System for Companies — Diana HuBuild a connective intelligence layer that stitches together Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion, call recordings, and other tools into a single system that makes a company fully queryable, turning it from an open loop (decisions checked weeks later) into a closed loop (the system monitors, compares, and adjusts in real time).
3. AI for Low-Pesticide Agriculture — Garry TanBuild tools, using AI vision, cheap sensors and cameras, precision robotics, and biological alternatives like microbes, peptides, and RNA-based solutions, that help farmers cut pesticide use dramatically while growing more food, not less.
4. SaaS Challengers — Jared FriedmanBuild AI-native replacements for legacy SaaS products. That could mean cloning an existing product at a tenth of the price, rethinking a workflow from scratch instead of bolting a chatbot onto an old UI, bundling many point solutions into one suite, or open-sourcing a replacement for software that costs $50K per seat, targeting even entrenched categories like ERPs, chip design software, and industrial control systems.
5. AI-Native Service Companies — Gustaf AlströmerBuild companies that don't sell software tools but actually perform the service itself, replacing outsourced work rather than just improving it, particularly in insurance brokerage, accounting/tax/audit, compliance, and healthcare administration.
