Nalin Semwal

Nalin Semwal is the Founder of Capy, an artificial intelligence software engineering startup based in San Francisco, United States. Founded in 2024 with an initial six-person team, the company participated in the Y Combinator Fall 2024 batch and develops an AI-native agent that operates autonomously on its own virtual machine. The platform integrates directly with major cloud infrastructure providers like AWS and GCP, utilizing container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes to execute complex software development tasks at scale. Prior to launching his current venture, Semwal focused extensively on machine learning research, notably publishing a December 2022 academic conference paper on detecting depressive tendencies through transformer-based multimodal frameworks. His current professional focus centers on advancing modern developer tools by combining scalable cloud infrastructure with autonomous artificial intelligence agents to fully automate routine software engineering workflows.
