Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Decisional AI, Inc. develops AI agents that execute operational work inside the applications a business already uses. Its current product, marketed to commercial contractors and field-service businesses, centers on an assistant called Dex that handles one-off tasks across connected tools and builds "Automation Agents" — purpose-built workflows that are constructed, tested, run, monitored and repaired automatically. Users describe the desired agent in natural language; the system assembles a workflow combining deterministic rules, AI steps and custom code, then runs it on triggers such as schedules, webhooks or form submissions, with a transparent run history and approval gates. Advertised capabilities include document intelligence (OCR and retrieval over PDFs, invoices and contracts), spreadsheet use for long-running tasks, more than 1,000 integrations and triggers, tool-specific "dynamic skills" that load per connected application, and self-healing runs in which the assistant inspects a failed step, patches the workflow and reruns it. Example agents cited on the site include cash-flow analytics, estimation, expense-to-job mapping, preventive maintenance, lead categorization, invoice follow-up and weekly reporting. The site names agent runtimes including Claude Code, an Agents SDK, and Codex, and describes Dex as a secured fork of OpenClaw.

The company was founded in 2024 and previously positioned the same underlying technology for finance. Under that earlier framing, Decisional described itself as an AI agent for private markets investors that integrates with a firm's data sources to complete deep financial workflows, and launched "Knowledge Engines" — AI-native workspaces for due diligence, fundamental research and portfolio management in a sandboxed environment with full citations and audit trails. That product handled Excel, PDF, PPT and DOCX files with OCR for tables, charts and figures, used an agentic RAG implementation, offered model choice across Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI and Meta, supported search across firm knowledge bases, extracted metrics into an AI spreadsheet for portfolio monitoring, enriched answers from sources such as Crunchbase and PitchBook and SEC filings, and exposed enterprise APIs for embedding the workspace in customer products.

Founding story

Founded in 2024 by Dhruv Tandon, Adit Sanghvi and Sai Neeraj Kanuri, who joined Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch with Aaron Epstein as primary partner. Tandon (BITS Pilani and London Business School) previously held product roles at Razorpay and Drip Capital and worked as an analyst at Moonfire Ventures and Concentric Capital. Sanghvi (Carnegie Mellon) previously worked on deep learning and machine learning at Uber and holds patents and papers in AI dating to 2017. Kanuri (NYU) previously worked in engineering at Razorpay and at Arthur AI, an ML monitoring platform used by financial services firms.

Business model

B2B software sold on a subscription basis. The terms of service state that certain features require a paid subscription that renews monthly, with a 7-day free trial available before paid charges begin and cancellation available through account settings. An enterprise plan is described for firm-wide AI workflows, alongside enterprise-grade APIs that let customers embed the agent or workspace into their own stack.

Recurring subscription fees for access to the platform, with monthly auto-renewal and a free trial period, plus an enterprise tier and API-based embedding for larger customers.

Traction

Marketing material for the finance product cited customer testimonials from investors at Unbound and LTV Capital and claimed 100+ hours saved per week, 2.5x increased accuracy versus GPT-4 and an average of 20,000 documents uploaded; the Knowledge Engines launch claimed up to 4.1x greater accuracy from its agentic RAG implementation. Team size is listed as three.

Latest developments

The primary website now presents the platform as AI agents for commercial contractors and field-service businesses, pairing the Dex assistant with automation agents across roofing, HVAC/mechanical, plumbing, dealers and fuel verticals, and lists current-generation agent runtimes. Free trial access is offered with sign-up through app.decisional.com and API access available on request.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

An early-stage, three-person company backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2024 batch), categorized under artificial intelligence, B2B, workflow automation, automation and operations.

The company positions itself against both general AI assistants (which reason but do not execute reliably) and workflow tools such as Zapier and n8n (which move work between apps but require a builder to wire and maintain them), claiming to span the assistant, agentic-workflow and deterministic-workflow layers with agents that build, test, run, monitor and repair themselves. In its finance framing it emphasized transparency and control — inline citations linking to the exact source page, audit trails, and sandboxed deployment consistent with customer data-security policies — and claimed higher accuracy with fewer hallucinations from its agentic RAG approach.

Technology

Agentic workflow platform combining an assistant layer (Dex) with automation agents that mix rule-based steps, AI nodes and generated code. Components include document processing with OCR and agentic RAG grounding, spreadsheet manipulation, a library of over 1,000 integrations and triggers via APIs and webhooks, per-tool "skills" definitions with guardrails and output contracts, run logging and failure recovery that patches and reruns broken steps. The site lists agent runtimes such as Claude Code, an Agents SDK and Codex, and identifies Dex as a secured fork of OpenClaw. The finance product used fine-tuned extraction models and inline citations with page-level bounding boxes for auditability, and supported search across up to 50,000 documents.

Go-to-market

Direct sales motion driven from the website through "Book a Demo" and self-serve sign-up at app.decisional.com, supported by a free trial, industry-specific landing content, case studies and documentation. Founders solicit inbound contact for API and embedding partnerships via a founders@ address. The Y Combinator company profile and launch posts serve as additional distribution.

Commercial contractors and field-service operators — HVAC and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, commercial roofing, general construction, dealers and fuel businesses — targeted through industry-specific agents. The earlier finance-oriented positioning targeted private-markets investors, financial services firms and wealth managers performing due diligence, fundamental research and portfolio management.

Geography

Headquartered in San Francisco, California (590 6th Street, CA 94103), with a London location listed at Regents Park, NW1 4SA.

History

Decisional AI, Inc. published its terms of service in May 2024 and joined Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch. Its initial launch was "Decisional — An AI agent for Financial Analysts," followed by a second launch introducing Decisional Knowledge Engines, AI-native workspaces for private-markets financial professionals. The company subsequently repositioned its main site around AI agents for commercial contractors and field-service operations, while retaining the Dex assistant and agentic workflow architecture.

Risks & controversies

The terms of service state the services are not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA or FISMA, that users may not employ them in violation of GLBA, that liability is capped at fees paid in the prior month, that disputes go to binding arbitration under Delaware law with a class-action waiver, and that user feedback and submissions become the company's property.
