Launch YC: o11: The AI Agent inside M365 and Google Workspace

"o11 creates files in seconds directly within PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Slides, Docs, and Sheets."

TL;DR - AI in legacy tools (e.g. Copilot, Gemini in Workspace, etc…) sucks. o11 was built to make automation directly inside legacy tools easy.

Founded by Aryah Oztanir & Ajay Misra

Hey everyone - Meet Aryah Oztanir and Ajay Misra, the co-founders of o11.ai.

The Problem

62% of all companies still rely on legacy software and systems. Many of these systems are manual, outdated, and inefficient. In the age of AI, the legacy giants that create this software aim to “duct tape” AI onto their tools – but what they end up with is a mangled mess that can’t actually do anything useful (Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, the generic useless “AI” sidebar in every application). Enterprises and consumers need a way to automate work directly inside of the tools they are familiar with – **their solution is o11.**

Starting with the entire Google & Microsoft Suite, o11 enabled hundreds of companies to automate presentation / spreadsheet / document generation directly within their workflow. Teams that use o11 no longer need to move from app to app or deal with agents that merely “provide insights.” Now they can actually do things in these tools, and do them fast.

How Did The Founders Come Up With This?

Before they dropped out of UNC, they were surrounded by finance students who all faced similar problems at their internships over the summer: Legacy software, no AI, and tons of grunt work. Most existing finance solutions thought the best way to provide workflow value was to build an external dashboard. But after speaking to hundreds of finance professionals they realized that teams don’t want an external solution, they require something that is directly within their workflow. So, the founders started by building a Microsoft PowerPoint plugin. Soon, financial teams started asking them for more, and they then introduced o11 For Excel and o11 For Word. But, why confine themselves to Microsoft only? Teams that the founders worked with and spoke to all wanted integrations with the full G Workspace suite, and soon they built it for them in Google Slides, Docs, and Sheets. The founders are not stopping there though – while these productivity suites are a large part of the o11 user’s workflows, their workflows aren’t just confined to these tools.

Where Does This Go?

o11 users use thousands of enterprise legacy apps that need automation, not duct-taped AI. That’s why, the product they’re soon going to release will enable you to use o11 in any app — it’s going to enable you to automate directly inside any workflow.
