Oliver Wendell-Braly

Yo, have you heard of Oliver Wendell-Braly? No? Well, let me tell you, this guy is the real deal in the startup game. He’s the founder of this sick company called fixa, which just popped up in YC’s F24 batch. Basically, he’s been crushing it in the voice AI space.

So here’s the scoop – Oliver and his co-founder Jonathan were actually working on voice agents at some company called play.ai. They ran into all the bullshit that comes with building voice tech – bugs, hallucinations, weird interruptions, transcription mess-ups, you name it. They saw how manual and clunky bug-hunting was, and that frustration lit a fire under them. That’s when they decided to build fixa in 2024, right out of SF.

What fixa does is pretty wild. Think of it as a sentry for AI voice agents – like a watchdog that catches issues before they turn into big problems. No more digging through tons of conversation recordings manually, wasting time, missing stuff. fixa automatically spots when the voice agents go off the rails – hallucinating, messing up transcriptions, sounding off in sentiment – and then gives developers exact insights on what’s wrong. Plus, it suggests quick fixes to make the voice agents better, faster. Basically, they built the tool they always wanted back in the day when they were fighting with their own bugs.

What’s super cool is that this whole process reveals Oliver’s true drive – he’s all about solving a massive problem in the AI voice space. He’s been through the struggle himself and turned that pain into a solution that can help tons of companies level up their voice game. Jumping from the trenches to founding a YC-backed startup in such a hot area? That’s pure hustle-no bullshit.

So yeah, Oliver Wendell-Braly? He’s the guy who saw a real, messy problem, and instead of whining about it, he built fixa to solve it. That’s the kind of founder you wanna watch – someone who’s been in the trenches, knows what’s up, and is doing shit that actually matters.
