Naman Bansal
Founder of Manicule, AgentRel — Devrel For Agents
Company
Naman Bansal is listed as a founder of Manicule. Manicule does AgentRel. We get companies discovered and used by AI agents. Think DevRel, rebuilt for a world where agents make all the decisions. We own developer documentation and technical content across social channels, end-to-end. We've grown 100% MoM over the last three months to $53K in monthly revenue, with customers like Supermemory, Greptile, Reducto, and Mastra. Getting discovered and used by agents is its own job now, and the market for it is broken. The SEO/GEO SaaS tools just show you data like where you rank in AI answers. The agencies are slow and lack know-how with agents. The one person who could own all of it end-to-end, a DevRel, is nearly impossible to hire: our customers have had roles open for months at $300K+ and still can't find anyone good. We solve all these gaps. Naman has been doing fractional DevRel since he was 13, working with companies like PromptLayer, Brightdata, and Courier.com. Shreyans has been building since 14 — he built an AI app that hit App Store Productivity Trending within a month, and was the founding engineer at Supermemory. We met in high school and have built multiple startups together since.

A year ago, AI memory wasn't even a real market.
A year ago, AI memory wasn't even a real market. Most devs thought of it as a vector DB. Today, @supermemory is one of the most well-known AI memory companies, and content played a huge role in it. (200K+ views on reddit, millions of SEO impressions, etc.) Here's the complete

Manicule's first hire, @ritiksahni22 , was also found via X. I saw him in my followers list one day, checked out his profile, his website looked cool, and I reached out. Since then we got into YC, he joined full-time, and the rest is history. Quote Naman Bansal @NamanBansal0611 · Jun 15 We're hiring for a very specific role at @manicule. Call it Content Engineer?

Most companies don't realize they have a documentation problem until everyone already depends on it. Customers use it. New hires use it. Engineers use it. And when documentation falls out of date, the whole system starts working against itself People stop trusting what they're reading Teams lose context And nobody can fix it, because the problem is everywhere at once The longer it goes unfixed, the harder it is to untangle That's the opportunity Manicule saw. They're building an AI-native DevRel company for developer tools - owning documentation, technical content, GEO, and distribution across social channels. The premise isn't that AI should replace expertise. It's that expertise should scale. Their AI agents audit and test at scale. Their humans own the architecture, the writing, and the creative direction. Every review improves the system Every project creates more context. Every iter

After going through YC, I can attest that a large part of building a startup is being lucky, and anyone who says otherwise is suffering from survivorship bias.
