AI agents should make people more capable by solving problems they have actually lived.

Agents should help one person do far more without spending far more. I start with problems I or people close to me have actually felt, then build the simplest useful way out. Right now, that is Tsenta.

YC S26

AI is a force multiplier. The win is more capable people.

Work experience, unredacted

$27/ hour

Great internship. No return offer. Better problem.

In summer 2025, VIAVI paid me to build systems software. I learned a lot. I did not get the return offer. So I stopped treating the job hunt as a rite of passage and started treating it as a product problem. That turn became Tsenta.

Building now

Job hunting, on autopilot.

Pulkit and I applied to more than 3,000 jobs by hand. Tsenta is the agent we wished existed: it finds the role, prepares the application, submits it, and keeps every step visible.

Transparent by design. You can review, edit, pause, or watch the agent work.

Selected builds

A habit of making the thing.

From a processor and a cafeteria app to an agent that applies for jobs. Different scale, same instinct.
