Wafer is a Susa-backed and Y Combinator seed-stage startup forking Android into an AI-native operating system designed from the ground up around agent workloads and on-device inference. The company is positioning around partnerships with smartphone OEMs — particularly the long tail of Android licensees outside of Samsung and Google — to ship devices where AI agents are the default surface rather than an app-store overlay.
