Hey YC!! Faiz and Saheed here from Minicor (minicor.com)

TLDR; AI companies selling into healthcare, automotive, financial services, and logistics can't go live because their customers run on legacy desktop software with no APIs. The only way in is clicking through the UI, and it breaks constantly. Minicor is a platform for building self-healing desktop automation that scales.

The problem

Our customers selling into legacy industries can't go live because the systems of record their customers use (EHRs, ERPs, DMS) are Windows desktop apps with no APIs. The only way to read / write is through UI automations, but desktop RPA at scale breaks constantly. Even small error rates become hundreds of failures a day, and every one needs manual intervention.

They're signing customers but don't have capacity to integrate because they're too busy fighting fires with existing RPAs; or their prospects are blocked because they need "proof" they can write back to their systems, and spinning up a desktop automation POC takes too long.

In production

We're live right now processing thousands of workflows a week across healthcare EHRs and other legacy systems. Our agents write AI-generated data into desktop apps in real-time. We went live with a customer in 3 weeks post POC.

How it works

1. Install our Desktop Client on the machines running the legacy software.
2. Speak the automation into existence - either through your favourite coding agent via our MCP, or to us directly. You get an API endpoint to trigger it.
3. Minicor handles everything after that. Only pay when the data gets in

About us

Saheed and I both started our careers building bespoke / legacy system integrations. Me at a YC startup, Saheed at Morgan Stanley and Ford. We met in 2019 in a UX class, built a non-profit together over the pandemic, and started working on this in 2023.

We started with an observability and error recovery platform for API integrations, and got pulled into Desktop automations when a prospect closed hyper quickly on the promise that we could help them connect to an on-prem EMR.

If a legacy desktop integration is blocking a deal right now

We can have a POC running in hours. Whether that's a demo for a prospect or getting something into production next week. Email / DM us on Bookface / book time to chat (:

Know an AI company fighting horrible desktop based UI integrations? We'd appreciate an intro, coffee / lunch on us!
