A1Zap is a consumer messaging platform designed for group conversations between people and AI agents. Users can drop AI chatbots, tools and mini-apps into group chats, and anyone can create and share their own, from digital twins to campus tools and games, without needing to write code.
The app is built by A1Base, a Y Combinator company (Winter 2025 batch) that also offers an API giving AI agents their own phone numbers and email addresses. A1Zap's CEO, Pasha Rayan, co-founded the company with a fellow UNSW Sydney graduate and previously co-founded Forage.
A1Zap is available on iOS and Android and is aimed at students, campuses and local communities.

Why I own it
AI usage per person will grow enormously, and a lot of it will be social. A1Zap puts AI agents and mini-apps inside group chats, so people can build them and share them with friends.
Messaging is where people already spend their time, which makes it a natural home for agents. It's a Y Combinator team building a new consumer habit early.
