Ishaan Sehgal is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of Omnara, a software platform that provides a mobile and web interface for controlling AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Omnara is backed by Y Combinator.

Career

Sehgal founded Omnara to address the problem of developers being tethered to their terminals while working with AI coding agents. As he described on the company's Wellfound profile, the platform was built to turn agents like Claude Code into "long-running, asynchronous workflows" that can be controlled from a phone or web browser.

Omnara functions as a command center for AI coding agents. The platform allows developers to install a local tool via a command-line script, launch it within a project directory, and then monitor and control their coding agent sessions remotely through either a web interface or mobile applications available on both iOS and Android. Key features include real-time streaming of logs, code diffs, and approval requests, enabling developers to review changes, approve actions, or interact with their agent using voice mode while away from their desk. The platform also supports session handoff between local and cloud environments, allowing work to continue even when a developer's laptop goes offline.

The company, which has between one and ten employees, is backed by Y Combinator. Omnara's product is positioned within the growing ecosystem of AI-assisted software development tools, specifically targeting the workflow limitations that arise when developers must remain at their computers to supervise and interact with autonomous coding agents.

User reception, as highlighted on the Omnara website, has focused on the productivity gains from decoupling developer presence from agent operation, with users noting the ability to continue monitoring AI coding tasks without being physically present at their machines.
