Paxel
A builder profile from how you actually code with AI
The Easy Way In

What It Is
Paxel is a new Y Combinator tool that looks at how you actually work with AI coding assistants. It reads your session transcripts from Claude, Codex, and Cursor and turns them into a personalised builder profile — your habits, your patterns, and how they change over time.
Most of us build alone, with no real sense of how anyone else does it. Paxel gives you a mirror: which models you reach for, when you're most productive, how long your prompts run, how often you ship, and the archetype that best describes how you build.
What It Measures
Your profile is built across five dimensions, pulled straight from your real sessions.
Steering
How you direct the AI — the way you frame goals, set constraints, and course-correct.
Execution
How you actually ship — your pace, your iteration loop, and how often you get things out the door.
Engineering
Your craft — structure, quality, and the technical decisions that show up across sessions.
Product Instinct
How you think about what to build and why, not just how to build it.
Planning
How you scope and sequence work before diving in.
Stays On Your Machine
Paxel runs locally via Docker. Your working tree, your .env files, and your raw transcripts never leave your machine — only the profile it generates does.
See how you build.
It's free, it runs locally, and it takes a few minutes. Find out which archetype you are.

Let's set up your agent ecosystem.
This page is one job. The whole thing is a set of them running off the same foundation, the folder your AI works out of, the brief on how you like things done, the accounts it can reach and the skills that run off all of it, so your admin gets done the way you would do it. It is what I teach one to one, on your own machine and against your own work, and the quickest way to find out what yours would look like is a proper chat about it.
