Speechify is proud to announce a partnership with Y Combinator to provide the Speechify Voice AI Assistant to companies across the YC ecosystem. Through this collaboration, YC founders and teams gain access to Speechify’s Voice AI Assistant to support research, writing, communication, and everyday productivity through voice and text.
YC companies operate in fast moving environments where speed, clarity, and focus matter. Speechify’s AI Assistant is designed to help teams move faster by enabling hands free interaction with information. Founders can listen to documents, summarize research, draft content through voice, and ask questions about what they are reading without interrupting their workflow.
The Speechify Voice AI Assistant brings together reading, writing, and voice interaction in one platform. Voice browsing is available through the Speechify Voice AI Assistant on iOS, Chrome and Web.
Teams can use it to review technical documentation, analyze market research, prepare investor materials, and communicate more efficiently across tools they already use.
“Startups win by learning faster and executing faster,” said Cliff Weitzman, Founder and CEO of Speechify. “By partnering with Y Combinator, we’re giving founders an AI Assistant that helps them absorb information, think clearly, and act quickly using voice as a natural interface.”
This partnership reflects a shared belief that AI Assistants will become a core part of how modern teams work. Speechify’s voice first approach allows founders to stay focused while accessing information, drafting ideas, and reviewing content throughout the day.
