Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch is 60% AI companies (up from 40% in 2024). Dominant pattern: agents replacing SaaS workflows, not copilots inside SaaS. Tensol replaces legacy hotel ERPs entirely. Bubble Lab's Pearl is a Slack-native ops agent connecting to Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Stripe, and Google Workspace. The same architectural pattern — single agent interface replacing multi-product SaaS stacks — appears across hospitality, operations, finance, and HR within a single batch.
