We've launched!
Today we’re launching @dydema (YC F26). We’re building personal, programmable brain-computer interfaces: you pick a thought and bind it to anything, like a key, a game or an agent. No surgery required.

People think YC is 200 AI SaaS startups in a trench coat. The current batch includes: - glasses that track your eye health - a wearable that types what you silently say to yourself (@AarushYadav47) - a consumer brain-computer interface (@dydema) - 2 different attempts at an AI-first phone (@AdamZinebi1, @isausmanov) - drones that both fly and swim - reusable heavy-lift rockets (@_charlieweise) Hardware is so back.

our founding story involves the freshest ben franklin cut you've ever seen
in college, my friend @ChristopherOo10 let me shave his head for a neuro experiment now we're cofounders in @ycombinator F26 🧠 neurotech barely has any data, so we're building @dydema to go get it and train decoding models on it (his hair did eventually grow back)
