## YC company profile

Infrastructure for building and scaling AI-native businesses.

Tenor is a full-stack infrastructure for building and running AI-native businesses. We’re not just an agent framework, we manage the entire loop from how AI executes work to how every action, decision, and business outcome is captured and learned from. Owning the full stack lets companies deploy governed AI workflows, understand what actually drives results, and continuously improve how their business operates without building the infrastructure themselves.
