Overview

Tsenta is an AI-powered job application automation platform designed to streamline the employment search process. The software continuously monitors over 50,000 corporate career pages across major tracking networks like Workday and Greenhouse. It leverages contextual models to tailor resumes, align keywords, draft answers, and automatically submit background applications the moment target roles open. It eliminates repetitive multi-hour manual data entry by putting outbound job sourcing on autopilot.

Founder story

Co-founded in 2026 by Agnay Srivastava and Pulkit Gupta while studying at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Tsenta was born out of deep personal frustration. As international students who manually filled out over 3,000 fragmented applications combined, they grew exhausted by tedious form fields. Operating from San Francisco, California, they launched Tsenta under Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch to handle full end-to-end application tracking autonomously.
