Added a new pre-seed YC company, @usemoss to Plushcap: plushcap.com/moss. H/t to @diabhey for telling me about them. They’re working on pushing down the latency threshold on retrieval which is a blocker for conversational agents, especially Voice AI agents 🧵

As with any good early stage DevTool, most of their content is in their docs docs.moss.dev/docs, with a few recent technical blog posts they wrote on their approach to solving issues in this problem space

For example, here’s their recent post "The Retrieval Latency Tax: Why Your AI Agent Feels Slow": moss.dev/blog/retrieval… Plushcap blog post analysis page here (only 3 posts so far): plushcap.com/companies/moss…

Moss competes in the real-time data infrastructure space (a heterogenous grouping, some more focused on scaling protocols versus latency requirements): plushcap.com/competitive/sp… As well as Voice Agents: plushcap.com/competitive/sp…

Would be interesting to see content from these guys on what problems are truly solvable with their edge-based approach, versus what is still intractable, for example 3rd party data services like Clearbit, Crunchbase, ZoomInfo, etc can’t be served this way without pre-caching.
