Bidflow is an artificial intelligence company [1] based in New York City, NY, USA [4] that was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch [5]. The company develops AI tools for the electrical contracting industry [2]. Bidflow's technology uses vision models to analyze CAD drawings and extract information needed for job estimates [3]. The system scans complex PDFs to identify and count electrical symbols, a task that typically requires hours or days of manual work [3]. According to the company, its AI achieves 99% accuracy in symbol counting, which is significant because missed symbols can result in thousands of dollars in losses [3]. The company operates with a team of two people [7] and maintains active status [6].
About
- We use AI to help electricians speed up the time it takes to submit a competitive bid to a job. We do this by scanning complex CAD drawings and 10X-ing the time it takes to estimate a job. This involves using vision models to read and count complex symbols in large PDFs, which typically take hours (sometimes days) to do precisely. Every missed symbol can cost thousands, and our AI can count to 99% accuracy.[3]
