Launch YC: Trace ๐Ÿ‘พ Route repetitive tasks to AI agents

โ€

"Trace helps teams map existing workflows and automate repetitive tasks using AI agents."
โ€
๐Ÿ“™ TL;DR Trace is a workflow automation platform that routes tasks to the right agent โ€“ human or AI.

โ€

By connecting to tools like Slack, Jira, and Notion, Trace breaks down existing workflows, spots automation opportunities, and embeds AI agents to handle repetitive tasks โ€“ without disrupting how your team works. More than 30 companies already use Trace to automate gruntwork.

Founded by Tim Cherkasov & Artur Romanov

๐Ÿ‘ฅ The Team

Tim and Artur met at university and have worked together on countless projects, papers and startups over the last 10 years.

Tim (CEO) โ€“ Former product manager at Copper, a digital asset custodian, where he delivered an institutional offering for State Street. Fintech background across hedge funds and scaleups as a data scientist. Built startups since 17 in retail tech, travel, and web3.

Artur (CTO) โ€“ Former senior engineer at Deliveroo who built the grocery data-enrichment ML pipeline (millions of items, thousands of retailers). Multi-time founder; led backends in logistics and finance, and deployed workflow automation across engineering and ops.

โŒ The Problem

Most teams lose โ‰ˆ 40% of their productivity on repetitive manual tasks.

Routine work like chasing updates, filling docs, coordinating teams, and handling support drains hours, breaks focus, and slows execution.

Meanwhile, employees arenโ€™t sure which tasks can be automated, which agents to use, or which tools to trust โ€“ problems made worse by fragmented data and lost context.

Even worse, most AI tools work alone, disconnected from both teams and the people using them.

โ€

โœ… The Solution

Trace is an AI-native workspace that breaks down existing workflows, assigns repetitive tasks to AI agents, and routes the rest to the right people.

With Trace, AI works across your entire team โ€“ passing tasks between agents and people without disrupting operations.

It respects permissions, learns from past and ongoing work, tracks progress with a full audit trail, and lets you review, edit, or reroute tasks in a simple interface.

๐Ÿฆ„ How It Works

How? โ€“ Through a company wide context engine!

By integrating with your systems, their context engine analyzes your internal wiki, activity logs, and people data to understand your teamโ€™s work.

Trace then builds a unified index of your company and provides rich context for every new workflow, making it easy to route tasks between people and AI agents.

Trace is on a mission to build CompanyOS โ€“ a cognitive layer that ingests internal signals and drives intelligent action across every team.
