Tom
Pete Koomen is a General Partner at Y Combinator and the co-founder of Optimizely, the A/B testing platform he built into a leading product experimentation company before its acquisition. At YC, he has become a prominent voice on applying AI to institutional workflows, and is best known for developing an AI skill that distills partner office-hours transcripts into concise two-sentence company descriptions — a skill that now outperforms him on the task he designed it to do. His work on that skill, including its recursive self-improvement loop, has been cited as an early concrete example of encoding human expertise directly into reusable AI agents.
“Tom, one of the partners here, wrote a skill that teaches an agent how to take some context about a company and condense that into a two-sentence description.”
