Double launched on Y Combinator's "Launch YC" this week.
Double is an AI assistant that can use Google to do research like: Which of these people are executives that work in finance, according to their linkedin profile?
"Siri for automating web scraping and data entry tasks"
Founded by Gonzalo Espinoza Graham & Wesley Yue. Prev. the team studied engineering at Waterloo, worked on autonomous vehicles at Waymo + Tesla, and built Ninja, Canada’s first 10-minute delivery service. Ninja raised $2M and offered deliveries in 2 cities with a team of 80+ couriers before it was acquired in 2022.
HOW IT WORKS
Double is an AI assistant that automates any web scraping and data entry task. For example, instead of toiling through LinkedIn profiles for hours, a recruiter can ask Double “List perception engineers that worked at any self-driving companies and have been at their current company for 12+ months”
What can you do with Double? 👇
✅ Given a list of chiropractor websites, find how many chiropractors work there. Don’t count admin staff
✅ Given a list of business names, find their websites, addresses, and phone numbers
✅ Given a list of Etsy stores, find the main category of the products they sell
✅ Given a list of websites of recently funded startups, is this a business that does outbound B2B sales? (that would be interested in our b2b sales prospecting product?)
Roadmap 👇
🔹 The bots are essentially read-only on the web today, but the Double team is working on abilities to navigate the web and click buttons to do things like login and submit forms (helpful for things that don’t have an API!)
🔹 Parsing PDFs as an input
🔹 Calling REST APIs. On top of Google Search, Web Scraping, and GPT, they'll be adding a plugin to make REST API calls, which will unlock every API and the ability to chain arbitrary code execution by calling your code on repl.it
Stop manually Googling your leads. Start using GPT to automatically research your leads on the internet and answer questions. If you have a task that involves search google → read links → answer question, Double can automate it for you.
