AI agent workforce for CPG back-office

YC W26

About the Company

Sarah.AI is the AI operations team for consumer goods brands.

It runs a brand’s day-to-day supply chain, automatically managing procurement, forecasting, logistics, orders, invoicing, and cashflow through simple chat commands in Slack, Teams, WhatsApp or Email.

It replaces hours of manual work done by ops teams using spreadsheets and ERPs, allowing CPG businesses to focus on growth, not supply chain.

Over time, Sarah.AI will evolve into the AI-native operating system for CPG brands, replacing legacy ERPs with a unified system of action that actually runs the business
