Beyond roles.

People are more than the roles they are given.

AI and new tools are expanding what individuals can do.

ystory builds AI products that help people move beyond assigned roles, define their own work, and turn their abilities into value others can see and use.

What we buildWhat we believe

People are more than the roles they are given.

For a long time, people’s potential has often been defined by things they did not fully choose: where they were born, what they studied, where they worked, the titles they were given, and the lines on their resumes.

We believe people are more than those labels. A role can describe someone at a point in time. It should not define the edge of what they can become.

A new shift is happening.

AI and new tools are expanding what individuals can do. More people can learn faster, build faster, define broader problems, and create value beyond the work they were assigned.

But the systems that evaluate talent and connect people to opportunity still rely on narrow signals: titles, resumes, company names, nationality, and familiar credentials.

Products for people who define their own work.

ystory builds products that help people use AI and new tools as leverage, make their capabilities visible, and move with confidence beyond assigned roles.

  • Define your own work

    Move from assigned tasks to problems worth owning.

  • Use AI as leverage

    Use AI to extend thinking, craft, and judgment.

  • Make capability visible

    Turn what you know and build into outcomes others can understand, trust, and use.

Two early products from one belief.

Supaboss and Linko Pass serve different audiences, but start from the same belief: people need better ways to define what they can do, show their work, and connect it to opportunity.

Supaboss

In development

Use AI as leverage. Take on larger problems.

Supaboss helps developers and knowledge workers use AI agents as leverage, move beyond assigned tasks, and take ownership of larger outcomes.

Linko Pass

In development

For people building opportunity across borders.

Linko Pass helps international professionals in Korea create and share hiring profiles that show their experience, context, and potential more clearly.

Principles

  • People before labels

    We see people before titles, resumes, backgrounds, or markets do.

  • Tools should amplify people

    AI should widen what people can attempt, not reduce their work to automation.

  • Define the problem, not just the task

    We build for people who want to understand and own the work, not only complete what is assigned.

  • Make capability visible

    Real capability should be discoverable, explainable, and connected to value.

A note from the founder

ystory grew out of years spent building products, leading teams, and helping people tell their career stories.

For more than 15 years, I have built software products and teams as an engineer, product leader, and CTO at Korean technology companies Naver and Kakao, as well as startups.

Again and again, I met people whose abilities were larger than the roles available to them. Their work showed real depth, but not always the full range of what they could do.

Through mentoring more than 100 developer job seekers on careers, resumes, and interviews, the same pattern kept appearing: many people were not lacking ability. They needed better ways to connect evidence, context, and opportunity.

AI changes what individuals can attempt. But tools alone are not enough. People also need ways to define the problems they want to solve, show what they can do, and turn conviction into contribution.

ystory builds products for that shift.
