Driver cuts semiconductor documentation from weeks to hours with AI.

What it is: AI platform that transforms thousands-page chip manuals into user-specific documentation. Targets both chipset suppliers and engineers who implement them.

Key metrics:
• $8M seed led by GV
• Promises 50% faster codebase understanding
• Saves weeks of employee documentation time
• Language-agnostic platform

How it happened:
• CEO Adam Tilton (ex-Nike, sold previous startups) faced documentation pain repeatedly
• Used ChatGPT to extract APIs from PDFs manually
• Co-founder suggested building platform at scale
• Targeted both suppliers and implementers
• Secured GV backing with proven founder track record

Why it matters: Technical documentation is a massive time sink. Driver shows how AI can tackle unsexy but critical B2B workflows.
