Risotto auto-solves IT support requests using AI
Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Risotto is a YC W24-backed, San Francisco-based AI-native internal support platform that turns Slack and other chat tools into an AI help desk for IT/HR and automates tier-1 tickets, software access, and knowledge retrieval. Public sources describe it as built for chat-first employee support, with multi-department automation and audit-ready access workflows; no official company GitHub or X account surfaced in the public sources I found, though founder Chris Paul’s GitHub profile is public.

Founder-led, product-heavy team with a strong customer-partnership orientation. Public posts emphasize Bay Area in-person time, regular offsites, and a small team culture that values close collaboration and high-quality engineering.

Flexible
Compensation
No public salary bands or formal compensation policy were found. Hiring and growth posts exist, but available public sources do not publish role-by-role pay ranges; third-party employee-review snippets suggest compensation sentiment is not especially strong, but that is only a weak signal.
Pricing
Startup plan for organizations under 200 employees at $1,250/month billed annually; enterprise plan with custom pricing; 30-day free trial.
