Octapulse

Octapulse (OctaPulse) is a Y Combinator (Winter 2026) startup applying computer vision and robotics to automate quality inspection in finfish farms. Its AI vision platform integrates into existing aquaculture workflows starting at the hatchery stage, using off-the-shelf cameras to perform broodstock phenotyping and juvenile deformity detection. The system reduces per-fish inspection time from roughly five minutes to under thirty seconds while achieving over 90% accuracy, standardizing QA processes and building proprietary multi-species datasets for the aquaculture industry. At this stage Octapulse is an early hardware-and-vision product company with no public API, developer portal, or programmatic surface; this profile tracks it as a lead in the API Evangelist network for future enrichment should a developer platform emerge.

Octapulse is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Aquaculture, AgriTech, Computer Vision, and Robotics.
