YC QM
Generated on 16 Oct 2026 from the YC QM catalog page
QM is an open-source AI workspace that helps teams research, build, and automate work through a web interface and Slack. Each person gets a personal workspace, while shared channels and projects let teammates collaborate with an agent.
Deploy QM on DigitalOcean to run it on your own infrastructure, using your choice of supported models.
What you can do with QM
- Find answers: Search across connected documents, email, databases, and the web.
- Build internal tools: Create web apps and share them with the people who need them.
- Automate recurring work: Schedule tasks, monitor changes, and trigger workflows through webhooks.
- Move development forward: Work with repositories, run tests, open pull requests, and monitor CI.
- Collaborate with context: Maintain personal and shared memory, files, and reusable skills.
Built for teams
Administrators control available models, agent harnesses, permissions, and sharing policies. QM supports multiple harnesses, including Pi, OpenCode, Codex, and Claude Code.
This Droplet Comes ready to use

Software Included
This Marketplace listing does not include a detailed software list.
Creating an App using the Control Panel
Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.
Creating an App using the API
In addition to creating a Droplet from the YC QM 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB YC QM Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
'{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"ycqm"}' \
