Filip Kozera (CEO) and Robert Chandler (CTO) met nearly 10 years ago while reading deep learning at the University of Cambridge.
Their company, Wordware, enables anyone to create, iterate and deploy AI agents using plain English. By introducing natural language as the new programming language for AI, Wordware empowers domain experts and engineers to collaborate seamlessly in building sophisticated AI solutions.
This latest funding announcement – a $30 million seed round led by Spark Capital, with participation from Felicis, Y Combinator, Day One Ventures, and notable angels – is one of the largest seed rounds in Y Combinator's history.
Wordware has hundreds of thousands of users, and customers like Instacart, Runway, Metadata, aiSDR, and more.
“As AI becomes more powerful, communicating our creative vision to it becomes more nuanced, not less,” said Filip. “Imagine trying to explain to AI exactly what database to retrieve information from or how you want a design to capture your brand's essence – that's prompt engineering.”
“We're transforming this challenge into an opportunity by making English the new programming language for AI, allowing anyone to orchestrate AI with their unique taste and vision,” he added.
Wordware's development environment functions as a unified workspace where domain experts and engineers can collaborate seamlessly. This enables teams to experiment and bring their ideas to production using Wordware API in weeks and even days (instead of months).
