antimattr is building voice AI wearables that cut through the noise
Backed by YC and WTFund, San Francisco-based antimattr is building wearable tech for human-agent interaction that summarises conversations with clarity in noisy environments.
Sridipto Ghosh and Sirsha Chakraborty, founders of the deeptech startup antimattr, faced skepticism when they decided to build hardware for voice AI wearables. Despite being advised against it by many, the duo persisted and launched their company in 2025. Their innovative product aims to provide a voice-first hardware interface for human-agent interaction, summarizing conversations with clarity even in noisy environments.
Users can dictate directly to the wearable device or let it listen to a conversation with another person, both offline and online. The technology is designed to pick up conversations clearly despite ambient noise, according to Ghosh. The startup's early incubation at Scaler Innovation Lab helped them gain access to prototyping equipment, which enabled them to iterate and develop their idea further.
The name 'antimattr' reflects the company's philosophy of challenging conventional notions and pushing the boundaries of human-machine interaction. This year, antimattr was selected for Y Combinator's current cohort, making it the first India-origin wearable company backed by the accelerator. Ghosh, the CEO, emphasized that one of their biggest learnings so far has been that it's not necessary to have everything figured out before starting.
Instead, they believe in keeping moving and evolving, with YC accelerating this process for them on a global scale.
