Ditto is reimagining how people meet — starting with dating. We’re building the first fully agentic social platform where AI does the heavy lifting: understanding your preferences, finding compatible matches, and even setting up real-life dates. Our cofounders dropped out of UC Berkeley in their freshman year to build this vision. Since then, Ditto has gone viral across campuses, set up tens of thousands of real dates, and attracted funding from Google and top-tier VCs, along with brilliant engineers and researchers from MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and DeepMind. Dating is just the beginning, we are gonna disrupt the entire social scene. If that sounds interesting, come talk to us.

Callab AI builds AI voice and text agents for enterprise contact centers. We help companies automate customer conversations while keeping the telephony, CRM systems, and workflows they already rely on. Many contact centers run on established on-premises phone systems. Bringing AI to those environments is an infrastructure challenge as much as a modeling challenge. Our SIP-native telephony stack connects directly to systems such as Cisco CUCM, Avaya, and Mitel, so customers can deploy AI agents without replacing their phone infrastructure. Our platform lets teams build agents around their knowledge and business rules, connect them to tools that complete customer tasks, and supervise conversations in real time. When a conversation needs human judgment, a team member can take over with the context preserved. Use cases include customer support, call routing, appointment scheduling, lead qualification, and outbound campaigns. Backed by Y Combinator, We serve customers across three continents and are expanding in the US. Our work spans enterprise software, AI, and the telecom infrastructure that makes reliable customer service possible. We're building the next generation of contact-center automation. Explore our open roles to help bring it to more businesses.
