# Startups | Four YC Fall Batch Companies Worth Watching

_Unique Research · Startups · December 9, 2024_

Y Combinator held Demo Day this week for its first Fall batch — 95 startups, heavily AI (by one count ~**87%**). Like Summer and Winter batches this year, customer-service AI and AI agents loom large. Four to watch:

## HumanLayer

**What:** APIs so AI agents can call humans for help and approval when needed.  
**Why:** Agents boost productivity only if they behave. Human-in-the-loop prevents runaway agents; too much oversight kills the efficiency gains. HumanLayer intervenes only when needed.

## Raycaster

**What:** Research agents for enterprise sales teams.  
**Why:** Rare excitement for B2B lead-gen software. Raycaster digs for specific details — lab equipment a company uses, what the CTO said at a recent conference — to sell at the right time, the right way. Stands out among tools that still aggregate surface info.

## Galini

**What:** Compliance guardrails for AI apps.  
**Why:** Helps enterprises set AI guardrails against company policy and regulation — and lets them own the controls and evaluate whether the rails work.

## CTGT

**What:** Tooling for enterprise customers to manage AI hallucinations.  
**Why:** Hallucinations are hard and unsolved. CTGT won’t catch everything, but active monitoring and review of enterprise models to spot anomalies is a useful upgrade — and Fortune 10 testing suggests buyers want it.
