Walter

Walter (@walterindustry) is an AI employee for the manufacturing back office. He logs into the same legacy ERP a factory already runs just like a human would, and takes over the manual work no one ever wanted to do. Congrats on the launch, @nikolas_keller, @lukaspostulka! ycombinator.com/launches/Qdh-w…

Walter just launched on @ycombinator's Launch YC! Walter: AI Employee for the Manufacturing Back Office. Check them out: ycombinator.com/launches/Qdh-w…

16 days until @ycombinator Demo day, my learnings so far: 1.⁠ ⁠Don't be afraid to approach big companies. The majority of our first customers have $100M+ in revenue. Enterprises are now actively seeking AI solutions. @aroraharshita33 and @bradflora spoke about this in their Request for Startups. 2.⁠ ⁠Pivoting and staying flexible with what the market wants is GREAT. Before YC, I worried about being perceived as unfocused if I switched direction. What actually matters is following the money. If customers pay more for Product X, listen to them. Don't cling to what you think is the right product. 3.⁠ ⁠Share your journey! @lukaspostulka and I started the company in March 2026, going all in and iterating extremely fast. I'll be sharing more of the ups and downs going forward.

the @zfellows community is incredible! alumni have raised hundreds of millions from top investors like @foundersfund, @sama, and @sequoia. thank you to @cory, @0baylor, and @g_kasten for the great opportunity to meet so many smart & driven people.

My cofounder Lukas and I are backed by @ycombinator! We both dropped out of our bachelor’s degrees to create Walter: a general-purpose AI employee that autonomously executes tasks that humans perform on a computer. Our first customers hired Walter to automate customer support and help with software development. We’re now looking for our first hire: a Forward Deployed Engineer - someone who can both build and talk to customers. Hit us up if that sounds like you
