Keywords AI, Inc.

Keywords AI, Inc. builds Respan, an LLMOps platform for AI agent observability, evaluation, and deployment. Founded by Andy Li, Raymond Huang, and Hendrix Liu — engineering students who met at the University of Illinois — the company joined Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and is backed by Gradient and Y Combinator. The team ships weekly from a hacker house in Alameda, California, and focuses on giving AI teams the tracing, evaluation, and prompt management infrastructure needed to operate agents reliably in production.
