YC company profile

a phone where AI is the interface

Cyclon is rebuilding the phone around AI. Instead of opening apps and tapping through screens, you tell your phone what you want and it does it for you. With one touch, you can spin up AI agents to control your phone or handle tasks in the background. AI isn’t just inside an app - it’s the phone itself.
