It works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and pi, and it stores all your data on your cloud.**\n\n\n\n### The Problem: Coding Agents Don't Learn\n\nEvery engineering team building with AI agents already knows the issues.\n\n* Your senior engineer's agent debugs a tricky bug Monday. Your junior engineer hits the same bug Tuesday and starts from zero.\n* Every session begins with re-explaining your codebase and your conventions.\n* Architectural decisions made in code review evaporate the moment the session ends.\n* Your team is solving the same problems over and over, paying for the same compute every time.\n\nCoding agents do not communicate with each other out of the box. Hivemind closes the gap. An agent figures something out, every agent inherits it. Your worst run starts from your best.\n\nThe tools tackling this treat it as a memory problem. They give each agent a personal notepad. Siloed. Invisible to the rest of the team. And most of them do it by shipping your code and context to their servers.\n\nBut memory without learning doesn't make agents better.\n\n**We decided to go beyond memory.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102722&key=user_uploads/78090/51dc4451-7936-4e37-a0ad-e8139a646430)\n\n### Introducing Hivemind: Continual Learning for Coding Agents\n\nHivemind runs on a simple chain: **capture, codify, optimize, propagate.**\n\n**1. Trace capture.** Every agent interaction (prompts, tool calls, file reads, reasoning chains, outputs) is captured automatically as a structured trace.\n\n**2. Skill codification.** Repeated patterns across traces get codified into reusable skills. Mix of automatic detection and LLM-assisted extraction, with workspace-level scoping so skills don't leak between teams.\n\n**3. Skill optimization.** This is new today. Skills get trained and optimized. We've implemented SkillOpt (a text-space optimizer out of Microsoft, Shanghai Jiao Tong, and Fudan) directly into Hivemind. It improves each skill the way you'd tune a model, keeping only the edits that prove out on a held-out test.\n\nThat approach lifts agent accuracy by +19.1 points inside Claude Code and +24.8 inside Codex, and wins or ties on all 52 setups tested. It runs offline, so it adds zero cost at inference. Your skills get sharper over time instead of bloating.\n\n**4. Skill propagation.** Optimized skills flow into every agent's context at inference time, across every Hivemind-connected agent in your workspace.\n\nWorks across:\n\n* Claude Code\n* Codex\n* Cursor\n* OpenClaw\n* Hermes\n* pi\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102722&key=user_uploads/78090/e1bddec6-5c2c-4409-aa2a-dd28fd8b2405)\n\n### On Your Cloud\n\nThis is the part our customers care about most. Your traces, your skills, your cloud storage. The other tools in this space treat your codebase as their training data. We don't. Hivemind store data on your cloud storage bucket, which is the only way a continual learning layer should ever touch your source.\n\n### **Codebase knowledge graph:**\n\n* Hivemind builds a graph of your codebase\n* Agents reason over how files, functions, patterns, and prior fixes connect\n* Structure beats keyword search: agents retrieve relevant context instead of grepping blindly\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102722&key=user_uploads/78090/414a60d3-f2b1-4da0-8bec-236e44f16042)\n\n### Example\n\n> Your senior engineer's agent figures out a tricky migration pattern in your payment service on Monday.\n>\n> Tuesday, your junior engineer's agent hits the same migration shape in a related service. The skill has already crystallized, and SkillOpt has already sharpened it against the cases where the first version fell down. The agent executes it in one shot.\n\nRepeat work stops being repeat work.\n\n### The Results: 25% Lower Cost, 41% Fewer Tokens\n\nWe benchmarked Hivemind against memory tools using LoCoMo, the standard evaluation for long-horizon agent memory.\n\nHivemind matches Mem0 on accuracy.\n\n* **25% lower cost per 100 QA**\n* **41% fewer output tokens**\n* **31% fewer agent turns**\n\nSingle-agent benchmarks understate the real story. The compounding effect of org-wide skill propagation isn't captured in these numbers. In production, the gap widens every week as your trace library grows.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102722&key=user_uploads/78090/3df657fa-e32b-4329-a667-d055d39d93be)\n\nFull methodology: [deeplake.ai/hivemind](http://deeplake.ai/hivemind)\n\n### Why This Matters\n\nMost developer tools deliver linear value. Hivemind compounds.\n\n* **Week 1:** your agents stop repeating mistakes.\n* **Month 1:** they're learning from each other.\n* **Quarter 1:** your whole engineering org is operating with capability that survives team changes, onboarding cycles, and turnover.\n\nYour team's hard-won knowledge accumulates.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102722&key=user_uploads/78090/6dfbd341-418b-4bd6-bd63-0d191625378c)\n\n### What's Next: From Skills to Custom Models\n\nBecause we store trajectories in Deeplake's tensor format, traces are ready as PyTorch datasets. A handful of advanced customers are already fine-tuning their own open-source models on the trajectories their Claude and Codex agents generated last week.\n\nSame data layer. Two paths to continual learning.\n\nFull tutorial and public examples shipping in the coming weeks.\n\n### Get Started\n\nTry Hivemind: [deeplake.ai/hivemind](http://deeplake.ai/hivemind)\n\nGitHub: [github.com/activeloopai/hivemind](http://github.com/activeloopai/hivemind)\n\nSkillOpt paper: [arxiv.org/pdf/2605.23904](http://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.23904)\n\nThree commands and your team's agents share one brain by end of day.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Qio-hivemind-continual-learning-for-coding-agents", "votes": 9, "created_at": "2026-06-08T23:07:52.598Z" }, { "id": 95919, "title": "Activeloop Scientific Discover: The AI Analyst for Scientific Research", "tagline": "Search, reason, and discover across 450M+ pages and 175TB of scientific research papers.

Today we launched **Meru Health Advanced** — a 6 to 12 month integrated psychiatry and therapy program for the patients standard care has failed most completely: treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, severe mental illness, and mental health stacked on chronic physical illness.\n\nEvery patient starts with a real diagnosis: comprehensive psychiatric visits, a 30–50 biomarker lab panel, and a coordinated team — psychiatrist, therapist, dietitian, care navigator — on one platform. Plus continuous biometric data via Whoop, HRV biofeedback, and lab-informed lifestyle and supplement protocols.\n\nAcross 17 peer-reviewed studies (Stanford, Harvard, UCSF, UC Davis, Washington, Rutgers), 55–67% of our patients achieve a 50%+ reduction in depression symptoms in 2–3 months — vs 19–33% on SSRIs. Accorded actuarial analysis: 55% fewer inpatient admissions, 31% fewer ER visits, 23% lower Rx costs.\n\n## **Demo video**\n\n\n\n## **What's the backstory?**\n\nKristian and his co-founders Riku and Albert founded Meru after Kristian had lost his brother Peter to suicide. Standard psychiatry couldn't help him; the antidepressants he was prescribed only made him worse. He wasn't an outlier — 30–40% of people with mental health conditions get labeled \"treatment-resistant,\" a phrase I read as a confession that the model itself runs out of options after the second or third prescription.\n\nA decade and 45,000 patients in, our 12-week Therapy program is enough for most. But the most complex patients needed something more: a psychiatrist who understands metabolic and lifestyle medicine, comprehensive labs, a dietitian, and a team that operates as one. That combination didn't exist anywhere. So we built it.\n\n## **What are your asks?**\n\n**1. Patient intros** — anyone who's tried the standard path and not gotten better, especially treatment-resistant and severe conditions, or mental health on a chronic illness. \n\n**2. Employer / benefits intros** — Advanced is built for the 6–12% of an employee population driving 30–50% of healthcare spend. Self-insured employers, CHROs, total rewards leads.\n\n**3. Payer intros** — actively expanding insurance coverage. Commercial plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid.\n\n**4. Amplification** — likes, shares, and tags on today's LinkedIn + X launch posts.\n\nTen years in, this is the closest we've come to building the program we wished my brother had had.\n\n— Kristian Riku and Albert  ", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QG6-meru-health-a-precision-whole-person-mental-healthcare-company", "votes": 15, "created_at": "2026-05-07T17:54:21.738Z" } ] }, { "id": 1936, "name": "Vimcal", "slug": "vimcal", "former_names": [ "AdSpecter", "CloudWorkout", "Cloud Workout" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/b12cac9857ae502090bf009e94dffb302617cdf0.png", "website": "http://www.vimcal.com", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA; New York, NY, USA; Remote", "long_description": "", "one_liner": "The world's fastest calendar, beautifully designed for remote teams.", "team_size": 9, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Productivity", "launched_at": 1525143899, "tags": [ "SaaS", "Productivity", "Scheduling", "Calendar" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2018", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Productivity" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Fully Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/vimcal", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2018/vimcal.json", "year_founded": 2018, "city": "New York City", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/vimcal", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/vimcal", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/b12cac9857ae502090bf009e94dffb302617cdf0.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 210528, "full_name": "Michael Zhao", "title": "Founder/Board Member", "founder_bio": "VC @ Eniac Ventures · Venture Partner @ Pioneer Fund · prev.

What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "A close friend and classmate in graduate school, Lee Lin, encouraged us to apply. Lee went through YC in S09 (incidentally, the same batch as Stripe!) and supported us throughout our entire YC journey by providing valuable feedback on our application, giving us practical advice on the interview, and even flying into California just to attend our Demo Day! The written application itself was very straightforward. YC makes it extremely easy with their online application. If you are working on a startup or even just an idea, you having absolutely nothing to lose by writing and submitting an application! I will admit that the interview (in-person at YC’s HQ in Mountain View, CA) was quite stressful. The nervous energy that permeated the air of the lobby and lounge area, mere steps away from the rooms in which interviews were taking place, was palpable. Naturally, the interview was the classic 10-min rapid fire format. I recall one of the first questions we were asked was quite pointed: “Many have tried to build what you two are doing and failed. How are you guys different?” Deep breathe. Do not get defensive. Answer the question succinctly and confidently. The 10 min were over before we knew it. It was stressful, but fair. Afterwards, we went to Castro street in downtown Mountain View to have dinner. In the middle of dinner, we received the call that would forever change our lives (“We would love to fund you guys!”). We immediately accepted YC’s offer of funding over the phone. We ended up having about a month from our acceptance into YC until the actual start of the batch. In the interim, there were some housekeeping items to attend to such as sending copies of our startup’s incorporation documents and other legal documents to YC’s Legal team and Finance team for review so we could receive YC’s investment! While still in the Bay Area, shortly after our interview, I remember attending a pre-batch kick-off event where Michael Seibel welcomed us to YC. I recall Michael said (paraphrasing), “So, technically the ‘batch’ has not started yet officially… but ‘YC itself’ has already started. So… I suggest you all get started! Like, right now! You can literally start booking office hours today! Start building and talking to your customers! We’ll see you this summer!”) Before long the summer came and the formal programming of the batch began. Things moved fast and we quickly settled into what would become a familiar rhythm: Write code. Talk to customers. Write more code. Talk to more customers. Write even more code. Talk to even more customers. Rinse and repeat. The weekly small group office hours and dinner events were highlights of each week that served to inspire and invigorate. The first dinner event featured the co-founder of Airbnb as a guest speaker, and subsequent dinner guests included Garry Tan (now president of YC!), Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), and even a special guest appearance from the legends themselves - Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston! Demo Day and fundraising were the culmination of our three months of hard work during the batch. The event would be split over two days and held at the venerable Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Sadly, our batch (S18) would be the last batch to be hosted by the museum for Demo Day (due to the larger sizes of subsequent batches). Much like the lobby and lounge of YC’s HQ on interview day, the nervous energy in the backstage green room of the Computer History Museum auditorium was palpable with people pacing back and forth, meditating, or silently rehearsing their pitch one last time. Before long, it was our turn, and the Batch Director fitted the one of us who would be speaking (Olivier) with a microphone and sent us out on stage. The pitch exceeded our own expectations and was delivered with gravitas, poise, and even a touch of humor. The successful pitch was all thanks to the generous time and support of many partners, most notably our group partners Aaron Harris, Adora Cheung, and Yuri Sagalov, but also other partners including Dalton Caldwell. As soon as we finished our pitch, the “likes” from investors came flooding in through the Demo Day software. Fundraising is usually a tough slog and one has to usually deal with many rejections for every “yes” that they receive. The whole process can take several months to upwards of an entire year. We were very fortunate to be in the top-third of our batch in terms of ease of fundraising, with far more “yes” than “no” responses and we were ultimately able to wrap up our fundraising in less than a week. I will note that success in fundraising at Demo Day is not necessarily predictive of future success as a company - so do not get lulled into a false sense of security just because fundraising comes relatively easier to you at Demo Day. There is a quite a vast distance between the moment that one decides to start a company and the moment that one actually sees it get off the ground. Unfortunately, the reality of startup life is that the journey across this distance (and beyond) can often be emotionally brutal; rife with feelings of intense loneliness which have to be balanced against a massive faith in what you are doing – a faith that is hard to sustain alone. We can truly think of no other partner we would want more than YC in embarking on such a journey. Special thanks to our group partners Aaron Harris, Adora Cheung, and Yuri Sagalov. They did NOT read drafts of this write-up, but we can unequivocally say that we would not have made it this far if it were not for their support and wise counsel." }, { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "After our YC batch formally concluded in Sep 2018, we have kept in touch with the YC community through YC’s internal social network Bookface (think of it as a combination of LinkedIn, Quora, and Wikipedia). > Olivier: “I check Bookface at least once a day and it has been an invaluable source of knowledge, tips & tricks, and sometimes much needed humor/relief from the occasional ennui that comes with the territory of being a founder.”Alumni Demo Days (a dress rehearsal / practice-run of Demo Day in which the audience is made up of YC alumni / affiliates instead of professional investors) are also another excellent way for alumni to remained connected with the YC community. > Olivier: “I have attended every single Alumni Demo Day since becoming an alum. For the W19 and S19 batches, I was fortunate to attend in-person in San Francisco. These were very fun, well organized events and doubled as a kind of ‘YC mini-reunion’ of sorts - I miss them greatly. All subsequent batches (W20, S20, W21, S21, W22, S22) I have attended were done remotely through Zoom. Remote Demo Days have also been well organized (and with great music!), but naturally, they cannot compete with the experience of being in-person!”" }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "Alpha Vantage began as a passion project created over winter break while the co-founders were in grad school together. Our first major inflection point came less than two months after Alpha Vantage went live, when a large incumbent/competitor called Yahoo Finance abruptly pulled the plug on their market data API, resulting in a massive influx of self-proclaimed “Yahoo Finance shipwreck survivors” (users who were previously using the Yahoo Finance market data API) coming to Alpha Vantage. Seemingly overnight the number of our active users and the number of API queries processed jumped by over 10x. We have never looked back since." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "High quality financial market information (e.g. stock price data of publicly traded companies) has traditionally been available only to large organizations/institutions and generally inaccessible (or very high friction to access) for individual end users. Companies such as Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters have created multi-billion dollar businesses catering to these large organizations/institutions and a specific type of user: the Wall Street trader. Traders in the modern day; however, are different. Traders today more closely resemble software developers who would prefer to access data via API as opposed to a closed-system such as a Bloomberg terminal (an expensive piece of financial hardware that one would find in virtually every financial institution). We know this for a fact because the exponential adoption and the intensity of usage of our APIs from the earliest days of our company all the way to the present have proven this time and time again." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/alpha-vantage", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2018/alpha-vantage.json", "year_founded": 2017, "city": "Boston", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpha-vantage-inc/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/alpha_vantage", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/alpha-vantage", "github_url": "https://github.com/alphavantage", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fccb7b1e6dbde25d668a442439b79122df4f20cd.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/video_event/42/1534806485332-jb35l938txj-93b07f210ff9101acc71ee93df098fcb/a510b61aa204d7c68ad0fdd2bd25bb1b.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAQC4NIECABPQ2AHNW%2F20261020%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261020T022641Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=017f2a2d3643907ee3fabb5a31514115644e98967f9346e250e7e838624ad1a2", "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/86c06613e203e363249cd5677cc9d1e3928ce7ea.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 233513, "full_name": "Olivier Porte", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "I was born in London, UK and raised in Tokyo, Japan and the Bay Area. \nI co-founded Alpha Vantage in 2017, an API/dev tools company that was fortunate to be in the Summer 2018 batch.

We built AI solutions for the industry long before the AI boom, gaining a deep understanding of its regulations and company-specific challenges. With the rapid evolution of GenAI, we’ve focused on building AI agents tailored for this space.\n\nWe realized that for any vertical AI agent to succeed, companies need a foundational platform that unifies data silos, structures varied data formats, and enables real-time inferencing. That’s why we built PIE.\n\nA specialized platform like PIE is crucial for AI agents in consumer finance because they must:\n\n* Understand business logic across systems, products, customer interactions, and company policies\n* Execute actions based on insights derived from unified data\n* Navigate complex federal, state, and company-specific compliance requirements\n\nConsumer finance lenders and collections companies operate with fragmented tech stacks - CRMs, Lending Management Systems, payment processors, dialers, email and SMS softwares. This results in siloed data, leading to lost insights and limited automation capabilities. Without unified data, AI agents remain one-dimensional and fail to reach their full potential.\n\n## What PIE Does\n\nAt its core, PIE is a robust data integration and intelligence platform that:\n\n* Connects to all of a company’s existing systems\n* Normalizes and structures disparate data formats into a unified schema\n* Enriches internal data with relevant external sources\n* Maintains real-time synchronization across all systems\n* Generates inferences and insights that are directly usable by applications and AI agents\n* Provides a standardized intelligence layer for AI applications\n\n## Why This Matters\n\nThis unified data foundation enables our AI agents (ProAgent, ScoreGenie, and more) to access complete context for every customer interaction. With PIE, an AI agent handling a collections call can simultaneously understand:\n\n* Account delinquency history\n* Previous payment patterns\n* Cross-channel interaction records\n* Demographic information\n* Communication preferences\n* Regulatory requirements\n* Propensity to pay scoring\n* Affinity for settlements, offers, and discounts\n* Channel affinity\n\nThe result: Consumer finance AI agents built on PIE have full situational awareness, enabling personalized interactions that drive results and seamlessly automate complex workflows across systems. \n\n## How It Works\n\nWe've built PIE as a modular system with:\n\n* Flexible connectors for all major systems in collections and consumer finance, leveraging our deep industry expertise to build scalable integrations quickly\n* A scalable data processing pipeline handling millions of records\n* A secure multi-tenant architecture with strict data isolation\n* Real-time bidirectional sync to maintain system integrity\n* Custom inference models for consumer finance and collections-specific insights\n\nPIE connects to all customer systems, standardizes incoming data, analyzes millions of records, and generates actionable insights that help collections specialisits and AI agents to implement novel strategies and maximize payments.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88664&key=user_uploads/78759/f6ef8576-fbe7-4519-9108-5b22beac3b64)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/N44-pie-prodigal-intelligence-engine", "votes": 6, "created_at": "2025-03-16T20:21:51.960Z" } ] }, { "id": 1989, "name": "Calii", "slug": "calii", "former_names": [ "Clinea", "Calii", "Calii (was Clinea)" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fdc1dade5d599753363072ccca1f464b94be4308.png", "website": "https://calii.com", "all_locations": "Monterrey, N.L., Mexico; N.L., Mexico", "long_description": "Calii is building the future of grocery shopping in LatAm by delivering ultra-fresh produce and thousands of grocery items in less than two hours– with savings and less waste!\r\n\r\nFounded by Stanford engineers, Calii is taking a full-stack, tech-driven approach connecting directly with producers and brands, automating the food supply chain end-to-end, and delivering to users’ doorsteps via a network of micro-fulfillment centers.

Takes weeks of setup and GTM engineers to deliver quality.\n* **Inconsistent output.** Output such as assets is only as good as the rep's prompting. Near impossible to generate high quality output consistently.\n* **Designed for solo work.** Chat and projects are optimized for individual work. Requires Github repos for sharing skills across the team.\n\n## The solution: one agent to take accounts from cold to closed\n\nIn April, we shipped the industry’s leading AI experience builder, letting founders and reps create on-brand, personalized decks, deal rooms, landing pages, and more. 9 out of 10 reps told us it gave them an edge in competitive deals.\n\n**Today, we're launching the automation and collaboration layer around all of it. One agent that takes an account from cold to closed.**\n\nMutiny can now:\n\n1. **Access all your data and tools to automate workflows.** Mutiny connects to your email, calendar, CRM, call recordings, Slack, and 50+ other tools to extract context it needs and then do the work on your behalf.\n2. **Create buying experiences and track engagement.** Mutiny stores your brand and marketing content, builds assets for every deal, and shows you exactly how buyers engage.\n3. **Works out of the box for any rep, not just the AI experts.** We pre-built the highest-leverage skills and routines for reps and marketers, so everyone gets expert output on day one.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103964&key=user_uploads/220306/be9b21e6-7623-4201-9800-49e87ed1fe28)\n\nIn practice, this means Mutiny helps you:\n\n* Create deal rooms and update CRM records after every prospect call\n* Draft meeting prep and personalized decks ready for tomorrow's call\n* Map buying committees, with a personalized market report for each persona in their inbox\n* Surface top ABM accounts, with personalized sites and sequences ready to send\n\nOne person with Mutiny can now run the motion that used to take a full team.\n\n## The best GTM teams already run on it\n\nRippling, Snowflake, Uber, and GitLab are among the 3,000 companies using Mutiny to win deals.\n\n> We've always invested heavily in personalized content for our enterprise accounts, but we can't do that for every deal. Mutiny lets our commercial reps create that same caliber of content on their own. Our sales team was genuinely shocked at the quality. Turning call transcripts into something slick and deal-ready is a huge unlock for our reps.”\n>\n> \\- Hillary Carpio, VP of Marketing, Snowflake\n\n> It's been game-changing to give our sellers Mutiny's design capabilities. Right off the bat, it's reducing dependency on marketing and expediting time to publish significantly.”\n>\n> \\- Gabriel Ginorio, Senior Growth Manager, Rippling\n\n> I was blown away by the new Mutiny agent. I can create personalized content for my deals in minutes without waiting on anyone. It's a game changer for sellers.”\n>\n> \\- Celeste Cote, Account Executive, Vanta\n\n## Differentiation: Ship quality work on day one, with fewer tools\n\n1. **Great at the work customers see.** Most tools only shuffle data behind the scenes. Mutiny creates the assets that move the deal, and automates the work around them.\n2. **Pre-loaded with GTM playbooks.** Get to quality output really quickly without being a GTM or AI expert.\n3. **Full visibility.** Most of the buying process happens behind closed doors. Mutiny shows who opened your assets and what they read, so you can sell even when you're not in the room and engage new stakeholders with context.\n4. **Run by anyone on the team.** AEs, BDRs, marketers, and CSMs use Mutiny in self-serve mode, not through a marketing or design queue. That changes the volume economics of personalization.\n5. **One agent, not a stack.** Mutiny consolidates ABM, sales enablement, and AI sales agents into a single agent built to help reps and the marketers who support them.\n\n## Get started today for free\n\nSign up for free at [MutinyHQ.com](http://MutinyHQ.com).

Too many great ideas die waiting for resources: design, content, ops. We started Mutiny to let sellers and marketers move at the speed of their ideas, building experiences that wow buyers and close deals.\n\nMutiny 1.0 started as a big success: $72M from tier 1 investors like Sequoia/YC, 8-figures in ARR, and beloved by the best GTM teams in the world. But it was built on a SaaS foundation, which puts the execution onus on humans. No matter how much we injected AI, we couldn’t unlock the real power of automation.\n\nSo we killed the SaaS product and rebuilt the whole thing from scratch, this time agent-first and with even bigger ambitions.\n\n**The solution: Meet the new Mutiny.**\n\nMutiny is the first AI agent that gives GTM teams full autonomy to create whatever they need to hit their goals, on brand and personalized.\n\nYou can overcome every challenge when prospecting and closing deals:\n\n* A tailored prospecting page for a senior exec at your target account.\n* A polished business case that sells for you when you're not in the room.\n* A curated customer story that creates urgency.\n* A competitor comparison that takes your rival off the table.\n* A deal room your champion is proud to share, .\n\nOne person with Mutiny can do more in an afternoon than a team in a month.\n\n**The best GTM teams love the new Mutiny already.**\n\n30,000+ assets published. Users from Rippling, Snowflake & startups say:\n\n* Speed: 4.5X faster to create assets\n* Quality: 100% said it meets or exceeds their design bar\n* Impact: 4 out of 5 reps are more likely to hit quota with Mutiny\n* Edge: 89% say it gives them an edge in competitive deals\n\n**Differentiation: Quality is what sets Mutiny apart. It’s 100% on brand.**\n\n1. **On-brand, every time.** Mutiny extracts your colors, fonts and visual style from your website to set the guardrails, so every asset looks and sounds like you.\n2. **Personalized, automatically.** Mutiny researches your prospect and pulls in your CRM data and call transcripts, so every asset is instantly tailored to the account. Their challenges, relevant metrics, case studies, industry messaging and logo are all personalized.\n3. **Full visibility.** Most of the buying process happens behind closed doors. Your champion is forwarding decks & pitching you in meetings. Mutiny shows who opened your assets & what they read, so you can sell even when you're not in the room & engage new stakeholders w/ context.\n4. **Proven GTM best practices.** Our agent has analyzed top-performing GTM assets and frameworks and built templates for every deal stage. The agent applies your brand and context so you get a polished asset in minutes.\n\n**Sign up for free:** [MutinyHQ.com](http://MutinyHQ.com)\n\n**Comment “Mutiny” on our X or LinkedIn post & we’ll triple your credits for free.**\n\nEmail us: [jaleh@mutinyhq.com](mailto:jaleh@mutinyhq.com), [nikhil@mutinyhq.com](mailto:nikhil@mutinyhq.com)\n\nIf you know AEs, sales leaders, or marketing leaders at fast-moving B2B companies, we'd love an intro.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PtJ-mutiny-your-ai-agent-for-creating-anything-customer-facing-used-by-uber-rippling", "votes": 18, "created_at": "2026-04-15T15:33:43.131Z" } ] }, { "id": 2015, "name": "Synkrino Biotherapeutics", "slug": "synkrino-biotherapeutics", "former_names": [ "SF17 Therapeutics" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/075baf0892710c7766a502a96091aa7dc37059b8.png", "website": "http://www.synkrino.bio", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; Oakland, CA, USA", "long_description": "", "one_liner": "Synkrino's AI, SATIS is a powerful, unbiased discovery system for…", "team_size": 2, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Drug Discovery and Delivery", "launched_at": 1526443476, "tags": [ "AI-powered Drug Discovery", "Biotech" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2018", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Drug Discovery and Delivery" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/synkrino-biotherapeutics", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2018/synkrino-biotherapeutics.json", "year_founded": null, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/075baf0892710c7766a502a96091aa7dc37059b8.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 218058, "full_name": "Jason Barbour", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasondbarbour/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/ceb7317422c07a84cb8f50caa71c0a5bac1ce38b.jpg" }, { "user_id": 258809, "full_name": "David Ott", "title": "Founder/CTO", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidott4", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/c46092f7990fbcd080d8a153f34a2bdee12de287.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [], "launches": [] }, { "id": 2016, "name": "dNovo", "slug": "dnovo", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/22ea7b2ff1e1af9ded028f1c3a9d1ad91f17021f.png", "website": "http://dnovobio.com/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; San Jose, CA, USA", "long_description": "At dNovo, we are curing hair loss by creating new hair, de novo.
