Applied Kinetics on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Applied Kinetics builds and deploys specialized AI employees to handle the coordination work behind America's energy and data center buildout. Our agents chase suppliers, track equipment approvals and delivery dates, and flag delays so project teams can keep critical equipment moving without hunting for updates across emails and spreadsheets.

  • Its own site describes it as: "AI agents for the teams building power, compute, and critical equipment. Starting with procurement follow-through: supplier follow-ups, engineering changes, and delivery milestones." (source)
