Motion eliminates manual coordination and answers the question of “who’s doing what at when”, automatically. Here’s a short video [intro of Motion](https://youtu.be/eGSRlT-snnU).\n\nWhen we started Motion, our sole purpose was to make ourselves and our users more productive. We were frustrated that, despite impressive advances in software and AI in the last decade, productivity tools still require massive overhead and manual coordination. We set out to solve this problem in a way that “just works.”\n\nTwo and a half years, hundreds of product iterations, and thousands of user interviews later, our conviction in this mission is stronger than ever. Knowledge workers still spend 58% of their day coordinating work instead of doing work. With Motion’s resource planning automation, every company can dramatically increase their productivity.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=66313&key=user_uploads/307736/81d1dd91-0c7a-48d8-9818-fc2cb1016dc3)\n\n[Motion](https://www.usemotion.com/teams) automatically plans what each team member should work on each day based on their team projects and calendar. For each project or task, you can tell Motion how long it will take, its priority, and the deadline, as well as if there are blockers, other dependent tasks needed to be done before a particular meeting, available working hours, and/or which meetings are optional. Motion then automatically adjusts each team member’s calendar and task priorities into an optimal schedule. Whenever things don’t go according to plan (which they never do), Motion automatically re-prioritizes everyone’s tasks and calendar so everything gets done, helping destress teammates by offloading all the cognitive processing surrounding what to do next; instead you get to stay in that hyper-productive flow state that also feels really good.\n\nHere’s a video of how [Motion works in detail](https://youtu.be/4Higsz8GhP0).\n\nToday, we’re proud to announce that we have raised $13 million in Series A to continue our mission of doubling the world’s productivity.\n\nSignalFire led the round, with participation from 468 Capital and angel investors like Sam Altman, Michael Seibel, and Cyrus Mistry (early Google Calendar product lead). We’re excited to partner with these phenomenal investors as we work toward a future where tools automate coordination so teams can get more done. View our full press release on the funding here: \n\nWe’ll use the money to continue investing in product & engineering. Our top priority is improving our task planning automation algorithm. We believe the prioritization algorithm (the way in which Motion plans your tasks) is the real differentiation that no one else has nailed yet.\n\nSolving scheduling is a difficult engineering problem. There are so many variables to account for when personalizing a schedule to each user, and this must be done while satisfying performance and efficiency constraints. Solutions today ask users to do this manually. It’s easy for a team to dump all their tasks (which they’ll never finish) into an app. It’s difficult to figure out a great execution plan.\n\nImproving Motion also means improving everything around the algorithm that makes it useful, including the product, design, and infrastructure that allow people to use Motion. So we are aggressively hiring exceptional engineers who want to help double the world’s productivity with us. If that sounds like you, [please apply](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/motion)!\n\nOver time, Motion will automate more and more of our days. Motion will help manage and automate everything from top-level OKRs to individual projects and tasks, to daily planning, calendaring, meeting scheduling, and coordination. Currently, companies use half a dozen different tools to manage all of that manually, and it is very cumbersome to integrate them. Motion will integrate all of this functionality into one comprehensive view that is constantly re-prioritizing automatically.\n\nWe believe that fundamentally magnifying human output without increasing input (e.g. time) is a trillion-dollar market with billions of users.\n\nWe want to give a huge thank you to all of our users who make Motion possible. We’re grateful first and foremost that you’ve given Motion a shot and trusted us to help you manage your time. But we’re also grateful for all the feedback you’ve given us that allows us to improve. It’s extremely important for us to have a tight feedback loop between product development and user input in order to iterate rapidly.\n\nThank you for being part of this journey with us.

You then need to write a bunch more code to map what features your customers can access based on their subscription.\n\nThe result is a bunch of glue code that you have to maintain to keep your app’s DB in sync with what happened in your payment processor. You sync your DB through webhooks which are brittle, create race conditions, and often one of the hardest parts of your app to test.\n\nAnd whenever you want to change your pricing, this code is the most liable to break.\n\n# Solution\n\nFlowglad gives you solid state payments.

We cover all your design needs, from product to web design, creative design, and even no code development.\n\n[**See example designs**](https://www.figma.com/proto/AmRAnvyBxNrdPlRZFijTIB/Our-Work?page-id=0%3A1&type=design&node-id=3-3&viewport=1224%2C1072%2C0.18&t=nZ4pPtvomYvN1h1d-1&scaling=scale-down&starting-point-node-id=3%3A3&hide-ui=1)\n\n![](https://i.gyazo.com/b3210ba3878b2702f4f9d80e4321e6e0.jpg)\n\n# **Problem**\n\nGood design is now a non-negotiable for startups.\n\nBut there isn’t a single person that can do **all** the kinds of design that startups need: product, brand, graphic, web, and site development.\n\nThis forces every founding team into freelancer management hell: they have to source, vet, and onboard designers for each discipline. Half of those designers quit, ghost, or are fired within 3 months.\n\nThe alternatives are either to spend $100k+ / year on white shoe agencies or full-time hires or go to freelancer platforms that commodify design (including the work they’ll do for you!).\n\n# **Solution**\n\n* **Unlimited design requests,** completed one at a time.\n* **A dedicated primary designer with timezone overlap**. You’ll collaborate directly over Slack, video, and Figma\n* **1:1 design office hours:** talk design strategy with cofounder Harrison (founding designer at Imgur, RISD alum), up to twice a month - while supplies last!\n* **Full design coverage**: product, brand, web, and no code design / development—all included. If you ever need something outside of your primary designer’s skill set, we’ll match you with an additional designer\n* **Guild of vetted pros:** our guild of designers is invite-only. Harrison and I personally vet every single designer before they join. Our acceptance rate is lower than 2%\n* **Backed by community**: NUMI’s guild means that if your designer ever faces a challenge, there’s a whole community of world-class designers available to help unblock them\n* **Satisfaction guarantee**: if you’re ever unhappy with your designer, we’ll match you with another one and handle their onboarding seamlessly\n\n# **Backstory**\n\nWhen we got into YC, our startup was growing fast and so was our design backlog. Even with my cofounder Harrison’s design prowess (RISD alum and founding designer of Imgur) in the design community, we were surprised by how much work went into building and maintaining our design capacity.\n\nSince then, we’ve spoken with hundreds of startups who have the same problem. One YC founder told us “I sent personalized messages to over 300 designers but got no responses.”\n\nWe figured there had to be a better way.\n\n# **Interested?**\n\n**Special launch offer:** try us out with a two-week, $15 trial.\n\n**If you’d like to give NUMI a shot, **[**book a call**](https://cal.com/team/numi/design-chat-15min)** with us**. We’ll personally walk through your design roadmap and help you prioritize the most impactful design work.\n\nIf you’re just design-curious, watch our podcast [**Bottom Line Design**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDCuvx5TIrFjgUcSXp1ShKw) to see our interviews with design leaders from [YC and Instacart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMkkh2_3SLc), [Apple](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE7nKvQ2T78), [Zapier](https://youtu.be/-sDsruRS-tE), and [Nike](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhpzFDovsZM).", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JSv-numi-your-startup-s-design-department", "votes": 139, "created_at": "2023-09-13T15:17:53.613Z" } ] }, { "id": 13050, "name": "Kaiten", "slug": "kaiten", "former_names": [ "Agnoris" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/29bbfaa0a0820cef7bbf80f78a5dd93d5e98508c.png", "website": "http://www.onkaiten.com", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA; Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tel Aviv District, Israel; Remote", "long_description": "Kaiten is a discovery app that gives you access to culinary products and experiences from quality makers around the world. \r\nWe are home to hundreds of makers from around the world including restaurants, chefs, farmers, vineyards and even knife makers and ceramicists.

Yep, SALES... sometimes a dirty word in the startup community, but read on—it’s not what you think! \n\n### **Why Collaboration Sell$**\n\nWe founded Accord to solve 2 surprising challenges while scaling sales teams:\n\n1. **Buyers don’t want to talk to you**. Today in the B2B world, 95% of the buying process is NOT spent with a seller… leaving you only 5% of their entire process to engage with. How are you supposed to close deals, especially with complex solutions, in this new world?\n\nThis is compounded by the major lack of focus on partnering with customers to solve their problems. Sellers aren’t taking into account the needs of modern buyers and how they want to evaluate & purchase. They push customers through a _sales process_ vs guiding them through a _buyer journey_.\n\n2. There’s no system to reinforce a collaborative, buyer-first approach – even if you had it all figured out! Nothing exists to map out the ideal process like there is in engineering (Github), Design (Figma), Product (Jira), etc.\n\n## **💃 Solution**\n\n**Shared workspace between you and your buyer** in order to: a) drive collaboration & focus on buyer’s needs & expectations b) reinforce a repeatable motion that empowers leadership to scale & up-level their team\n\nAccord creates a dedicated workspace between buyer & seller with everything needed to build a strong partnership & increase win rates, deal velocity, and time-to-live:\n\n1. Shared next steps & milestones to stay aligned together\n2. Resource hub to avoid sorting through 100+ email threads for a doc\n3.

We are leveraging this technology in the short term to build patient-specific tissues for drug safety and efficacy testing. Patient cells are taken from a biopsy, added to our proprietary 3D printed tissues, and then drug compounds are injected through the blood vessel network to mimic actual drug delivery in humans.

(S11 / W20)\n\nWe’re announcing [**Enveloop**](https://enveloop.com) — a developer-focused **message builder** and **API** that makes it easy to design & send beautiful emails and texts from your app using one simple implementation. And you don’t have to be a designer — we’re focused on making developers look awesome. 🤩\n\n### **📣 Why We Built Enveloop**\n\nDevelopers create apps. Apps need to talk to users. Simple, right? Unfortunately — multiple APIs, maintaining message content, design standards, delivery standards, handling failure/retry -- you have to figure it all out, and, over time, **it all becomes scattered in your code.**\n\n_Worse_ — the content is inaccessible to those that need to edit it because it’s mixed with the design & implementation — buried in your code with all that other complexity. That puts **you** in the middle of any update, big or small. Gross. \n\nWe’ve built a graceful service that solves this. It’s simple for developers, collaborative for consultants and their clients, and ready for fast-moving product & development teams. **It’s Enveloop.**\n\n### **💪 Our Solution**\n\nWith Enveloop, we offer developers:\n\n* A powerful & friendly-to-use message builder.\n* Loads of elegantly-designed templates to get you started quickly.\n* Intuitive formatting built with developers in mind (markdown, mustache, etc.)\n* A single API that supports multiple message types and providers.\n* Easy delegation of message content to others on your team (or to your clients!)\n\nAll this helps to **remove unnecessary code/complexity** from your app and **reduces superficial deployments**. And more is on the way, including support for additional message types and useful message analytics.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67598&key=user_uploads/24221/8b766f45-e4c3-4014-ac55-1c5b6cd8d23d)\n\n### **🙏 Our Ask**\n\nWe would love to have you try out **Enveloop**!

We offer online doctor’s visits, withdrawal medication prescriptions, and support for long-term recovery, using a protocol 6x more effective than most rehabs (2/3rds of which don't have doctors).\r\n\r\nMore than 3 million Americans are addicted to opioids, but 80% are not getting help, due to jobs, families, and privacy concerns. Meanwhile, there's a proven treatment that increases survival rates by 600%, and it's low cost, discreet, and convenient. It's called MAT, and it looks like treatment for anxiety or depression: medication plus therapy. However, doctors need a special waiver to prescribe the medication, which fewer than 5% of them have, so it's difficult to get, and most people are buying it on the street. Sadly, drug dealers aren't doctors: every 11 minutes another American dies of an opioid overdose, now the #1 cause of death for Americans under 50.\r\n\r\nOphelia is replacing rehab with telemedicine, using proven science and a consumer-first approach. The opioid treatment market in the U.S. is $15B, and 85% of opioid addicts have insurance that pays for it. We're treating roughly 400 patients with thousands more waiting.\r\n\r\nZack started Ophelia after losing his girlfriend to an opioid overdose, who found it easier to get medication from a drug dealer than a doctor.

It scores 81.6% on our benchmark — ahead of human estimators (77.6%) and \\~20 points clear of the best frontier model. It runs in \\~2 hours vs. up to a week for a human.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106241&key=user_uploads/428748/ccaeb6b3-ba3f-4330-acd0-8e8ff779cca2)\n\n\n**The problem**\n\nBefore a contractor can bid a job, someone has to do a takeoff: read every sheet, count materials trade by trade, measure walls and roofs, cross-reference dimensions that live on different pages. It takes an experienced estimator 8–20 hours per project and years of training to do at all. It's the tax on every bid in a huge, fragmented industry.\n\nYou'd think a frontier model could do this now. It can't. Foundation models today aren't capable of understanding construction drawings to a level that is actually useful for a construction business. So this massive $2 trillion industry still runs on blueprints that are being analyzed by humans pretty much the same way they have been for the last few hundred years.\n\n**What we built**\n\nHandoff has developed H1: an AI model that understands and analyzes blueprints better than a human estimator, thus resolving this manual bottleneck once and for all.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106241&key=user_uploads/428748/e3a9fd8f-cdf2-48f1-b4d6-9e30aa807ec5)\n\nH1 has three layers:\n\n* **Scope analysis** — a detailed, trade-by-trade breakdown of what the project actually involves, read straight from the drawings.\n* **Takeoff with quantities** — a complete material quantity list per trade: framing members, sheets, linear and square footage, counts, all with units.\n* **Localized construction costs** — accurate pricing on those quantities, localized to your ZIP code.\n\nAll of it programmatic and autonomous. No human needs to be involved in the process of creating the entire takeoff. You can simply upload plans and get structured scope, quantities, and costed output back.\n\n**The benchmark (TakeoffBench-V1)**\n\nAs part of this, we are also releasing the industry's first takeoff benchmark that enables us and anybody else in the research community to compare models against 15 real, permissioned, PII-stripped residential blueprint sets, each paired with a consensus-validated expert takeoff.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106241&key=user_uploads/428748/b4f0b802-c841-403e-8867-5b1ac2e9fcb2)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106241&key=user_uploads/428748/abdfeb2b-4ed7-4764-bc47-a6305f6d8ff9)\n\nHere's how we performed on the benchmark:\n\n* Handoff-H1: 81.6%\n* human estimator (with takeoff software): 77.6%\n* best frontier model (Claude Fable): 61.4%\n\nThe rest cluster in the low-to-mid 50s (gpt-5.6, Claude, Kimi) down to 34.7% (DeepSeek-V4-Pro).\n\n**Try it**\n\nH1 is live in the [Handoff](https://handoff.ai) product and on the API.

In short, we became obsessed with creating the world’s most accurate API for construction costs and a knowledge base of construction logic.\n\nWe work directly with top suppliers like Home Depot and Lowe’s to integrate their catalogs into Handoff, giving our customers real-time pricing and inventory.\n\nWe’ve also trained Handoff on 10,000+ construction cost estimates we completed by hand while running a manual cost estimating service in our early days.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93974&key=user_uploads/428748/9349123e-4a79-47c3-a7b6-7cb7d0575a47)\n\n### **Send This to Your Contractor**\n\nAre you getting some remodeling work done?\n\nGet a free account on [Handoff](https://handoff.ai/) and generate an estimate for your project.

Then, a team leader guesses consensus and prioritizes. **This typical brainstorming process is far from ideal and has the following flaws:**\n\n1. **Single-threaded** - With only one person talking at a time, there is a single train of thought, and many good ideas are left unsaid and unexplored\n2. **Groupthink** - The desire for quick decisions and group cohesion can make bad decisions seemingly unanimous\n3. **Controlled by Leaders and Extroverts** - The loudest team members or those with the most authority can drown out the opinions of the more introverted and junior team members.\n4. **Self-censorship** - Fear of judgment and social anxiety can cause some members to withhold crazier ideas.\n5. **Poor engagement** - Doing nothing and waiting for the meeting to end passively is easy, especially remotely.\n\n—\n\n### **✅ The Solution**\n\nWe created a brainstorming tool for remote teams with built-in design thinking best practices from expert facilitators.\n\nIt’s a quick, customizable step-by-step process to unleash your team's creativity and prioritize.\n\n**Pathspace is easier to use than a “digital whiteboard” and more robust than a doc:**\n\n1. **Structured and intuitive** - Rather than a single generic interface like a doc or whiteboard, each step in the process has a unique user interface.\n2. **AI suggestions** - Leverage the power of GPT-3 to generate more out-of-the-box ideas.\n3. **Anonymous (no groupthink)** - Discover the best ideas and reach a democratic consensus with anonymous ideas and voting.\n4. **Organized and exportable** - Instead of scattered stickies that are hard to parse, we automatically keep everything organized so you can easily understand results and export them.\n5. **Customizable** - Create and customize Pathspace to your process by mixing and matching different tactics.\n\n![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/62d313720e07abf87ece7618/62df4aafd1d3f877f7a7d04d_Step%205.png)\n\n—\n\n### **Brainstorm for free.

We’re [Arjun](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arjun-iyer-916332/) and [Anirudh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anirudhrx/), co-founders of [Signadot](https://www.signadot.com/) and we’re simplifying the lives of developers building distributed cloud native applications.\n\n# **🎯tl;dr**\n\nSmartTests automatically catch breaking API changes in microservices without writing contracts or maintaining mocks. AI compares your new code against baseline behavior using real traffic and only flags changes that actually matter.\n\nDemo video: https://youtu.be/HHGgSKk2K_k\n\n# ❗️Problem\n\nMicroservices break each other all the time. A team changes their API response format, and suddenly three downstream services start failing in production. The usual solution is contract testing, but here's the reality: most teams either skip it entirely or abandon it after a few months.\n\nWhy? Current tools put the entire burden on developers. You have to write consumer contracts for every API interaction, maintain mock servers, and keep updating tests every time contracts change. It's exhausting busywork that pulls focus from shipping features. Teams know they should do it, but the tooling makes it feel like a second job.\n\n# **💡** Solution\n\nSmartTests flip the script on contract testing. Instead of forcing developers to predict every possible breaking change, we observe real API interactions and automatically catch contract violations. Write a simple test in Starlark, and our AI compares baseline behavior against your changes to spot what actually matters.\n\nNo mock servers to maintain. No contract files to update. No noise about irrelevant changes. Just fast, accurate feedback in your PRs that tells you when you're about to break something downstream.\n\n# 🏃How does it work?\n\nWhen you push code, SmartTests spin up lightweight sandboxes in your Kubernetes cluster and run your test scripts against both the new version and the baseline. These aren't mocked interactions—they're real API calls hitting real services in isolated environments.\n\nThe magic happens in the comparison. Our AI analyzes the responses from both versions and figures out which differences actually matter. Did you add a new optional field? Probably fine. Did you change a required field's data type? That's going to break things. The AI surfaces only the changes that could affect downstream services, so you get signal instead of noise.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90673&key=user_uploads/47401/298831aa-1812-4117-8461-1a77db646e8c)\n\n# **💯** Why did we build this?\n\nWe kept hearing the same story from engineering teams: \"We tried existing tools, but it was too much work to maintain.\" When developers abandon tools that should make their lives easier, the tool is the problem, not the developers.\n\nThe breaking point was talking to a team at a Series B company who had spent three months setting up comprehensive Pact tests, only to disable them six months later because they couldn't keep up with the maintenance burden. That's when I realized we needed to completely rethink the approach—AI could handle the heavy lifting leaving developers to focus on what they do best: building great software.\n\n# 👍 How do I get access?\n\nJust sign up using https://www.signadot.com/ and try our [Quickstart](https://www.signadot.com/docs/tutorials/quickstart/contract-testing) guide.

These environments spin up in seconds within a Kubernetes cluster **that you run** and scale well across hundreds of developers and microservices without incurring large infrastructure costs or maintenance burdens. These environments are built on top of “Sandboxes”, a new approach that is used in companies like [**Uber**](https://www.uber.com/blog/simplifying-developer-testing-through-slate/) and [**Lyft**](https://eng.lyft.com/scaling-productivity-on-microservices-at-lyft-part-3-extending-our-envoy-mesh-with-staging-fdaafafca82f) and we’re excited to make that available to everyone.\n\nWe launched about a year ago, with a focus on preview & test environments in Kubernetes. With our latest update, we’re adding the following new capabilities:\n\n* Developers can now run the **dev version of a microservice on their laptop** and seamlessly connect it to a shared Kubernetes cluster and start testing as though the whole application were running locally. They get 10x faster feedback by testing their changes in a live Kubernetes environment during active development. \n* Multiple such dev environments can be combined together to **test different microservices with each other** as they're being developed. This means developers can collaborate and get a feature spanning different microservices working end-to-end long before their code gets merged or hits a staging/production environment.\n\n### **How does it work?**\n\nJust as before, we use request routing (using a Service Mesh like [**Istio**](https://istio.io/) or a sidecar-based system that we built) to isolate these environments from one another in a shared Kubernetes cluster.\n\n![](https://ph-files.imgix.net/f5efe69b-ed3c-4306-af3e-c5d757877d7a.png?auto=compress&codec=mozjpeg&cs=strip&auto=format&fit=max)\n\nRead more about our launch [**here**](https://www.signadot.com/blog/bridging-the-gap-local-testing-in-shared-kubernetes-clusters), or watch a video of how teams use these dev environments here: [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXUmPJTdwm0**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXUmPJTdwm0\\*\\*)\n\n### **How do I get access**\n\nJust sign up using [**https://www.signadot.com/signup**](https://www.signadot.com/signup\\*\\*) and try one of our [**quickstart**](https://www.signadot.com/docs/quickstart) guides.

Discover issues before merging code and ship new features faster.", "body": "### 😎 **TL;DR**\n\nWe’re building a Kubernetes-based solution that enables environments, called Sandboxes, to test your microservices early in the development lifecycle. Unlike traditional environments, Sandboxes are lightweight and spin up in seconds. This makes it cost-effective to create test environments for every pull request, branch, and commit.\n\n### 🤔 **The problem with traditional environments**\n\nMost engineering teams use pre-production environments, called staging environments, to test against real-world conditions. However, testing on staging introduces the following challenges:\n\n1. Staging environments are typically shared among engineering teams and regressions introduced here block other developers. This results in frequent roll backs to unblock others.\n2. Since commits from various teams are co-mingled on staging, breakages take a long time to troubleshoot and fix. As the engineering team grows, this problem only gets worse and development slows down.\n\n### **😅 Enter Signadot**\n\nWith Signadot, DevOps teams can set up lightweight environments, called Sandboxes, that can be used to test each pull request/commit. Teams run a suite of integration and end-to-end tests for each PR without impacting others. This helps find issues early that would otherwise be found in staging (or worse … in production!).\n\nOur CLI/YAML integrates with CI pipelines to automate the testing of Pull Requests. As shown in the image below, Sandboxes encapsulate “services-under-test” connected to other dependencies running in Kubernetes. Sandboxes are lightweight to spin up and cost-efficient at scale.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65752&key=user_uploads/47401/edb398f0-819b-43f3-9152-9ba015164069)\n\n### **🤓 How this helps your team:**\n\n* Minimize rollbacks on staging and production\n* Increase the frequency of production deployments\n* Save on infrastructure costs using lightweight Sandboxes\n\n### **🤩 Try us out!**\n\n1.

This approach is novel because we are no longer looking at average signals and can be precise. It is like a police person trying to identify the speeding car, they won’t find it if they look at all the cars at once, rather they need to look at the speed of each individual car. This is the beauty of single cell genomics, we can now identify that speeding car.\r\n\r\nWhy now?\r\nThe biggest barrier for entry into the single cell genomics market are cost and data analysis. To that end, we have reduced the cost by 10-fold and built the computational infrastructure for scalability. Although single cell sequencing has only been around for about five years, we come from one of the top single cell genomics labs and were the first to process and analyze millions of immune cells. Thanks to our software solutions, we have been able to bring big data solutions to the immune system.\r\n\r\nWhere are we and where are we going?\r\nWe have generated a database of over 1 million immune cells spanning healthy, cancerous, and autoimmune immune cells and are growing through paid partnerships.

Originally, DevOps was meant to empower developers with operational tasks, but instead, it evolved into a team that controls access and holds the keys to the information and systems needed to deploy and release quickly. \n\n📣 In every organization, a handful of exceptional DevOps 👨‍💻 engineers become the oracles of knowledge and the entire team relies heavily on their expertise. However, reliance on a few go-to experts inevitably becomes a bottleneck on the team's speed and ability to ship. Don’t you wish you had your expert DevOps engineer on a speed-dial, without actually bugging them? \n\n🤖 Introducing **Release AI**—a powerful tool that allows anyone using the Release CLI to get go-to DevOps engineers’ answers, without tying up the experts’ time. Developed with developers and engineers in mind, Release AI extends the capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4 public LLM with our extensive expertise in DevOps, providing you with relevant context, control, and content tailored to your organization's unique needs.\n\n👷‍♂️ In its initial phase, Release AI provides \"read-only\" access to both AWS and Kubernetes. This lets you engage in meaningful conversations with your AWS account and your K8s infrastructure. Looking forward, we plan to add more tools for commonly used systems, along with the introduction of write access, which will allow you to automate an even broader range of your 🤹‍♀️ daily tasks.\n\nHere are some examples of what you can do with Release AI:\n\n🐳 **Talk to your Kubernetes clusters**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74153&key=user_uploads/423512/d5b71075-1a25-4f12-a49f-0a95aa14d4c9)\n\n🧑‍💻 **Talk to your AWS infrastructure**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74153&key=user_uploads/423512/9fcdd298-b284-4fdc-96d9-f33eed3d2dab)\n\n💰 **Keep track of your AWS spend**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74153&key=user_uploads/423512/8a11fe73-1851-4908-b27c-43bd5a57d9fb)\n\n⏰ **Create Cron Jobs and Reminders**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74153&key=user_uploads/423512/19ce66c3-4694-41f7-9ef2-0eae0ead7dc4)\n\nWe have a [Slack community that you can join](https://join.slack.com/t/release-ai/shared_invite/zt-20dxgp2o0-ePCXzsag6l8_i4HwOgRItg) to talk about Release AI.

Our platform serves as a one-stop shop for all of your environment requirements. We have taken our most popular feature and are now offering it as a stand-alone product for free!\n\n⚡️Instant Datasets is one of the most popular features of the Release platform because we make the management of pools of data easy. Release’s Instant Datasets workflow means you don’t need to worry about managing the creation of databases from snapshots. As new snapshots arrive they will automatically be incorporated in your dataset. Instant Datasets allows you to easily create multiple pools of datasets and distribute them to your teams and it cleans _🧹_ up after itself.\n\n![](https://4032318958-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2FuFlNpsifRLmeTcT73L4S%2FScreenshot%20from%202022-05-03%2011-59-14.png?alt=media&token=b4529430-e7d6-4767-a10b-aa3493a5f51d)\n\n_Using the built-in replication functionality of services like RDS, Instant Data sets creates pools of databases for use wherever production data is needed._\n\n📀 Data is one of the most important aspects of any environment. Without real data to support it, the code or running containers lose much of their usefulness. Often, the complexities and burden of distributing production or production-like data is an “exercise left to the reader” when looking for providers of environments or a development platform as a service. **Your ephemeral environments are only as good as your data!** At Release we built a version of Instant Datasets, day 1 for this very reason. **We are now making it available as a stand-alone product** for you to incorporate into any local development process, ci/cd pipeline, etc!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73732&key=user_uploads/19885/644c642f-b0e7-43a8-b3bb-448466031ba9)\n\n_Dataset with one in use, one starting up, and one available for someone to use_\n\nSetting up and using Instant Datasets is super simple:\n\n✅ **Create a Release Instant Datasets account** [**here**](https://beta.release.com/instantdatasets/register)\n\n✅ **Create a cloud integration**\n\n![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/3STD6S6crrkGBxL6aCHoSnwL-IjTFkSst_fhdIYfPD7IMU6WxQOkSDH2iQYJjMINA8Gjn06eLSLryyizQ8G6Rd3ojR6-9mSp7_VlO4qe-D5K4wNKDbmbi7novSesgN36EZMPk9IHdVH-sgNH6D9aPGQ)\n\n_Cloud Integrations are how Release talks to your cloud provider on your behalf_\n\n✅ **Create a dataset**\n\n![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nFZIdkEW320QyNNKumPmVO4iIaqEn2ZFZhTnAS7zqfWzDnmamR_-Rsr07n10EK5sP7rWJVP4BZSH_YYhT0WZlZLkXz4otjEv8t0-8FLRvXTbA2DZwrI7TYmIfynQIgtplP2ngL2OMHSP1XUn0MAIWNo)\n\n_Release lets you control cost, security and performance of you dataset_\n\n🏁 **Checkout a database and use it in your environment for as long as you need it**\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/3DP_hXM8pCFjWAGo6jpK1eKHM3qMu3sWdcPSJWzkTMboho8nI8aFh1HRIfNCplYbGdMgYLhkdgL6s6ixavx597PSOJxByen1wRRsINuj1upAxO1EPuF0S9pW8o1pAxQ99IKqnZzmixt1dd_idPJkVpk)\n\n![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/b0SiudL37kwJyHl2_wED4gOGv4GvQcustSeSu4Y_-TIaVTCA6g8GcmJGD1YpCBX3ehZV8n69soCZZDocrcFfV4CTt57Dlp2BiP2wHwMb3jWLeGxuPhIsuYyllHL51bTNdbsIOkjg8n33c48TYO0Wt5U)\n\n_Release provides you with everything you need to connect to your dataset_\n\nWe wrote a 🚀 [quick-start guide](https://docs.release.com/release-instant-datasets/quickstart) and made a 👣 [walkthrough video](https://vimeo.com/849156936) to help you get started.\n\n❓ Although the standalone Instant Datasets has a few limitations compared to the Release platform version, we are actively working on resolving them in the upcoming weeks. Currently, we support RDS and Aurora in AWS, with Google Cloud support coming soon. Additionally, we will be adding the capability to pause databases on a schedule to save resources and money, as well as the ability to cleanse production data before creating a pool of databases. All of these features exist in the Release platform and are being added to the stand-alone product currently.\n\n### Our Ask 🙏\n\n**Please give Instant Datasets a **[**try**](https://beta.release.com/instantdatasets/register)**!** Our customers, as well as the team at Release, have found it incredibly valuable to build and test with production-like data. In fact, it's how we develop all our products, including Release.

It was scattered across Code, Ghost, Intercom, Gitbook, email, and very long Slack messages.\n\nWe built Typedream so you can **build and publish websites really quickly** and keep it all in one place.\n\n### **🧠 \"I'm not good at design. I just want to think about what to say\"**\n\nIt takes a lot of effort and time for me to try to design a website and I just don't have time for that.\n\nWe built **good & modern default styles** into Typedream so you can just quickly put in your content and add some minimal styling to make your website immediately look amazing. We also equip you with **built-in assets and tools**, such as animations, gradient colors, icons, backgrounds, and illustrations, to help you build your site.\n\n### **🤯 \"Most website builders are just too complicated for me to build my site\"**\n\nMost websites don't require the full functionality of Wix/Squarespace. We made Typedream with **simplicity in mind**. The interface is similar to Notion/Google Docs and the options are limited & opinionated. This turns out to be **liberating** for most of our users as it allows them to **focus on their content instead of worrying about small details**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/b4e51032-b942-4257-9da5-f85aa419fad9)\n\n\n# **Solution: Quick & easy website building 🚀**\n\nTypedream bridges the gap between Webflow and Notion by allowing you to **build great and beautiful landing pages** while still being **easy and quick for sharing content**:\n\n* A familiar text-editing interface\n* Add Buttons, Cards, and Navbar in just 1 click\n* Built-in animations, gradient colors, backgrounds, icons, and illustrations\n* Opinionated design options\n* Automatically responsive on mobile\n\n# **Start for Free:** [**typedream.com**](http://typedream.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/70887ba0-d0ad-4366-8be5-e2f89782c06e)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/0fdb5e39-6251-4afe-a2a0-3ccba33e80d1)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/fa8eb5a8-d6be-4831-92d4-21ed444e94b5)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/f90f8c6f-5719-48ce-b4ba-b1281d757d4e)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/62977f6f-0a51-43fa-a732-764d0b944a24)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64220&key=user_uploads/399683/d2b2cfbe-b26c-4898-b863-5bc639e6e118)\n\n# **Visit us at** [**typedream.com**](http://typedream.com)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Gho-typedream-the-go-to-website-builder-for-founders-digital-creators-and-web3", "votes": 45, "created_at": "2022-06-30T09:29:30.956Z" } ] }, { "id": 13239, "name": "BuildBuddy", "slug": "buildbuddy", "former_names": [ "Hyperlink", "Flame" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/bd37712a664bd3d0f09c27d1816b43518fb60775.png", "website": "https://buildbuddy.io", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA;

Five years ago, I built Alloy Automation (YC W20), an integration platform backed by a16z and YC that connected SaaS tools and powered financial workflows for companies like Amazon.\n\nLast year, I made a call that felt risky: walked away from a growing business because I could see the moat eroding. Integration infrastructure was getting commoditized. We pivoted to [Kinter.ai](http://Kinter.ai).\n\nHere's what we saw: The real problem in accounting is execution capacity, not data. Most finance teams close their books 14-21 days after month-end – not because they lack information, but because the work (reconciliation, accruals, journal entries) still happens manually. Every \"AI\" tool in the space is basically a co-pilot: you ask it something, it helps you do the work faster. The work still lands on a person.\n\n**What we built**: AI agents that run accounting workflows proactively, inside existing ERPs (QuickBooks and NetSuite), without waiting to be prompted. One agent does payroll. Another monitors for accruals throughout the month and drafts proposals. Another reads invoice attachments to extract prepaid expense candidates. All actions go through a human approval step before touching the books. Full audit trail on everything.\n\n\n\nWhat surprised us building this:\\\n\\\n1\\. The hardest part isn't the AI, it's the data. We had an early customer where we were silently missing 2,300 bills because of a pagination limit in the QBO API. No error, no warning. Just missing data. Reconciliation built on incomplete data isn't reconciliation.\n\n2\\. Finance teams aren't afraid of AI, they're waiting for it. We’ve had over 600+ conversations with Controllers & CFOs. The reaction to \"an AI that does your close\" wasn't fear. It was a relief. People went into accounting to solve hard problems, not to copy numbers between spreadsheets at 11pm.\n\n3\\. Trust is built incrementally. We shipped human-in-the-loop approval flows before broad autonomy. The confidence threshold to let an agent post a journal entry is higher than the threshold to let it flag an anomaly. We design for that explicitly.\n\n4\\. The integration layer we built at Alloy turned out to be the prerequisite. You can't build a trustworthy accounting agent if you can't reliably read bank feeds and write back to ERPs. The connectivity problem isn't solved by the model.\n\nSee more at [kinter.ai](http://kinter.ai) and read our manifesto here: kinter.ai/manifesto\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103611&key=user_uploads/247875/b5349615-6f28-4ee8-a030-9cd5a50c5f6a)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Qx9-kinter-agents-that-run-your-accounting-close-proactively-not-on-demand", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2026-06-22T03:49:06.516Z" } ] }, { "id": 13273, "name": "Dropbase", "slug": "dropbase", "former_names": [ "Sanau", "Castodia" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1e161edccc732227e99414008db01b3c382b9908.png", "website": "https://dropbase.io", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Dropbase is a prompt-based app builder that empowers developers to create custom back-office software fast and efficiently.\r\n\r\nWith Dropbase, you can build backend panels, order/billing dashboards, and internal tools that can fetch data and trigger action across any database or service.\r\n\r\nKey Features:\r\n* Rapid development of backend panels, order/billing dashboards, and internal tools\r\n* Seamless data fetching and action triggering across any database or service\r\n* Intuitive prompt-based interface for streamlined app development\r\n\r\nDropbase customers are companies in support and operations-intensive industries such as financial services, telecom, logistics, and retail that want to:\r\n* Dramatically reduce software development costs\r\n* Enhance operational efficiency\r\n* Accelerate the creation of tools to empower business teams ", "one_liner": "AI app builder for internal tools.

This creates a disconnect between founders and their key financial metrics, leading to overspend, lack of confidence, and missed goals.\n\nTo get the answers you need, you’d typically export that data into a spreadsheet and then run some calculations.\n\nHowever, the problem is that historically, your accounting software and spreadsheet have always been disconnected, relying on clunky extensions and periodic CSV dumps. This leads to broken, outdated spreadsheets and wasted time cleaning and managing data.\n\n**Why do we still put up with this?

Currently, this requires a large number of tools and product managers to pull all the insights together. By integrating all these tools we can make this easy - no integration needed, no extra vendors, no extra javascript, and workflows to guide engineers through feature development._Get in first._ By already being used by our customers, we’re the default for each additional tool they add. It’s the technical co-founder and early engineers building the MVP and integrating the first product tools, not PMs. By focusing on engineers we can be their preferred choice and get in first. Additionally, we can ladder our tools - for example, session recording is used much earlier in the life cycle of the product than others like the CDPs helping us get in earlier than competing products._Be the pipeline for product and customer data._ Traditionally, as companies scale their data warehouse becomes the source of truth and non-warehouse native tools (like product analytics) become less relevant. By being their core pipeline from connecting their data to their warehouses we can remain sticky for the life of our customers. And by providing this infra, we ensure the data we have remains comprehensive.##" } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/posthog", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2020/posthog.json", "year_founded": 2020, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/posthog/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/posthog", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/PostHog/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/posthog", "github_url": "https://github.com/PostHog", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ccbd4a516fad6b8adc9892a766f23308db7a6cda.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Brad Flora", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/brad-flora" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 330819, "full_name": "James Hawkins", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "cofounder at PostHog\n\n", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/j-hawkins/", "x_url": "https://x.com/james406", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/d5c234d7654af82b2d5c405637dcf9ee0e51268a.jpg" }, { "user_id": 400222, "full_name": "Tim Glaser", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/timgl/", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/cdd2589b8ec6303aa76c3d16bcc8ad56fd403132.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 104329, "title": "Site Reliability Engineer (US -

And they mostly rely on their Sales team to capture that data. But processes and data requirements change fast and different stakeholders just add more data fields into their CRM until it becomes too cluttered to be usable.\n\nWe found that the average Salesforce instance has 757 fields to maintain and update.

Wheat reaches anthesis in 38 days. Breeding programs run 4–6 generations a year instead of 1–2. \r\n\r\nGrowRush takes that same chamber to commercial production scale, where every harvest is also a labelled phenotype training pair flowing back to Jeeva. The unit is paid for by what it grows; the science works because the unit is identical to the chamber the AI was trained on.\r\n\r\nEvery cycle produces proprietary genotype-to-phenotype data the next generation of models needs.

We are backed by the iconic American VC Y Combinator, Artiman Ventures and even angel investors like Anand Chandrashekaran, Austen Allred, Martin Basiri to name a few. \r\n\r\nWe won the Best App award (for learning) by Google, mBillionth award by Bill and Melinda Gates, and even won Startup of the Year by TieCon.\r\n\r\nAndroid App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edurev\r\nWebsite: http://edurev.in/\r\niOS App (beta): https://apps.apple.com/in/app/edurev/id1529835494", "one_liner": "Learning App for 400M Indian Students like a Netflix for Education", "team_size": 24, "industry": "Education", "subindustry": "Education", "launched_at": 1584158280, "tags": [ "Education", "eLearning", "India" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2020", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Education" ], "regions": [ "India", "South Asia", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/edurev", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2020/edurev.json", "year_founded": null, "city": "Chandigarh", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://in.linkedin.com/company/edurev", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/edurevin", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/TheEducationRevolution", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/edurev", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1e6a86b48fb942874f774cbfcbb5cfdeaaef5cb9.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 332080, "full_name": "Hardik Dhamija", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-Founder & COO: EduRev", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/hardik-dhamija-25bb4044/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/h_dhamija", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/60e5419a7a3f7e45737644f70e0d6545e6d5092d.jpg" }, { "user_id": 335012, "full_name": "Kunaal Satija", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Founder, CEO at EduRev ", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://in.linkedin.com/in/kunaalsatija", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/kunaalsatija", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/f0ebf7345e6b867fac98c94575388c8c977abc75.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [], "launches": [] }, { "id": 13391, "name": "Spenny", "slug": "spenny", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c5eab8ce312ccd084d88910aa9abc81700929490.png", "website": "http://spennyapp.com", "all_locations": "Bengaluru, KA, India", "long_description": "Spenny is the Acorns for India.

With Spenny, they just connect the card and invest every time they spend.\r\n\r\nWe're growing 67% WoW since launch, with 3,000+ users and $15,000 in AUM. Indians put $500Bn into their bank accounts annually. We charge 1.75% of the AUM for investments. That's a direct ~$9Bn market in India alone.\r\n\r\nPotentially every time a user makes a transaction, we make money. And in that sense, the timing for Spenny couldn't have been better: 1 Trillion+ transactions are expected in 2021 because of factors like Whatsapp launching its P2P payments in India for its 400M users. And the emergence of UPI means every Indian has a virtual bank account now. \r\n\r\nMore interesting revenue models develop from the transaction data insights of our users. We analyse the rich data to A) up-sell more financial products like insurance etc., and B) create brand loyalty programs & partnerships.\r\n\r\nWe acquire customers at minimal CAC by bank partnerships. We leverage the banks' existing users, by integrating with their mobile app. In turn, we invest into their mutual funds.\r\n\r\nOur long-term vision is to become a one-stop asset management solution for millennials.", "one_liner": "Acorns for India.

The pandemic spurred interest among new investors, and our AUM has grown 3x since April 2020. And we’ve done this with a cost of acquisition that is 10% of the industry average. \r\n\r\nHere’s the problem we see. Only 10% of the 100 million middle-income Indian workers have invested in the markets. This is despite the fact that they save ~30% of their income, making this a $325B potential market in assets under management. \r\n\r\nHowever, current investment apps in India are built for active investors. With over 16,000+ mutual funds and 5000+ stocks to choose from, they are far too complicated for beginners, who make up most of the market.\r\n\r\nWe’re building an AI - driven investment planning software that is designed for beginners.

YC!\n\nSarah here — I’m a co-founder at Stable, and we provide companies with a business address and virtual mailbox so they can manage their mail online. \n\nToday we’re thrilled to share that we’ve launched in Texas and Florida (+ with a special deal)! \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71235&key=user_uploads/89898/eccd3582-fed8-444e-aed8-ab2015d0a242)\n\n**📬 About Stable** \n\nWe launched Stable in the middle of the pandemic when companies were shutting down offices and going fully remote but still needed a physical address to use with the government, IRS, banks, and other vendors.\n\nBut after working with more than 1400 companies like Jeeves, Indiegogo, and Airbyte, we’ve realized that no one likes managing physical mail – whether they’re remote or working out of an office. \n\nSo in addition to helping companies open, view, forward and shred mail online, we’ve built features that save companies dozens of hours every month – from startups that just need a business address to incorporate to growth stage businesses processing 1000s of pieces of mail a month. \n\nHere’s what we’ve launched recently.\n\n* Search across all mail by sender, receiver, or

These agents can output audio and video, listen, and respond like real participants. \n\n\n\nToday, we're excited to introduce the Output Media API. With this API, you can easily build live, interactive AI agents that can listen and react to meetings in real time. \n\n### 📈 The Problem and Solution\n\nFor developers, building AI agents have become much easier with APIs like the [OpenAI realtime API](https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-realtime-api/). The difficult part is actually getting your AI agent into a video conference. This is because there are no APIs to send and receive low-latency video streams from Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet etc.\n\nThe solution is to use a service like [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai) which provides an API to create virtual participants that can join video conferences, receive the real-time data from the conference, and display the agent as a participant in the meeting. \n\n### 🤖 AI Agents as a Web App\n\nThe Output Media API works by rendering any web app into ultra-low-latency audio and video, and streaming that into your video conference through a bot.\n\nThis functionality makes it possible to develop AI agents that listen to the meeting audio and react in real-time, in just a few steps:\n\n1. Develop a webpage that listens to and reacts to audio coming from the microphone (e.g. via [getUserMedia](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia))\n * [Recall.ai](http://Recall.ai) sends the mixed audio of the meeting to the webpage microphone so your agent can listen to what’s being said\n2. Send a [Recall.ai](http://Recall.ai) bot to a meeting and configure it to show the webpage you developed\n\n```\n// POST /api/v1/bot/\n{\n \"meeting_url\": \"https://us02web.zoom.us/j/1234567890\",\n \"bot_name\": \"Recall.ai Notetaker\",\n \"output_media\": {\n \"camera\": {\n \"kind\": \"webpage\",\n \"config\": {\n \"url\": \"https://{YOUR_WEBPAGE_URL}\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### 🚀 Getting Started:\n\n* Check out our [Output Media Guide](https://docs.recall.ai/docs/stream-media).\n* We’ve built 2 sample apps using Output Media, with walkthroughs of how they’re built.\n * 💻 [Voice Agent Demo](https://github.com/recallai/voice-agent-demo) lets the bot have a conversation with meeting participants, using OpenAI’s [realtime API](https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-realtime-api/).\n * 💻 [Real-time Translator](https://github.com/recallai/real-time-translator-demo) displays live meeting translations on screen for a spoken conversation.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85172&key=user_uploads/316225/39433a6c-c885-402b-922f-5d477117fde6)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/M9k-recall-ai-output-media-api-ai-agents-that-talk-in-meetings", "votes": 13, "created_at": "2024-10-31T03:20:30.529Z" }, { "id": 75617, "title": "Recall.ai — The universal API for meeting bots", "tagline": "A single API for meeting bots on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack and more.", "body": "Hey all!\n\nWe’re building [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai), a single API for you to get meeting data from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=75617&key=user_uploads/316225/e4c4cc37-13fb-493d-900f-fb8124655197)\n\nThe data you receive includes:\n\n* Video recording\n* Audio recording\n* Transcription\n* Participant names\n* When people spoke in the meeting\n* When people joined/left the meeting\n* When people turned their cameras on/off in the meeting\n* What device someone is joining from\n* …and 10+ more pieces of meeting data.\n\n🎥 [**Click to watch our 2 min demo**](https://www.loom.com/share/60a7500d2a8c40c3b05a88dca376107e)\n\n## The Problem\n\n* Building robust meeting bots takes 1000s of engineering hours.\n* Running the infrastructure is a big operational burden, and complicates your architecture.\n* Companies like Gong have a team of 5 engineers dedicated to running this infrastructure to be stable and scalable.\n* People are building hacky workarounds like bots that screen-record Zoom in a web browser, but this breaks frequently.\n* Some meeting platforms (eg. Google Meet, Slack) don’t even have APIs.\n\n## The Solution\n\nWe provide 1 simple API that abstracts over differences between meeting platforms (even for platforms that don’t have an API). We run, monitor, and scale the complex real-time video infrastructure - so you can focus on building your core product.\n\nThis allows our customers to get into production in a week instead of a year.\n\n## Use Cases\n\nWe work with 150+ companies today that ingest meeting data, like Grain, Apollo.io, BrightHire, Fellow, and more.

When we got there they told us they ran out of charcoal for the hookah, so we said “We came here for that, is there anywhere we can order and receive it now?”, that is when we realized that the concept of fast delivery for e-commerce didn’t exist not only in mexico but in the world. So next day we launched an e-commerce store called 99minutos where anything you bought there got delivered in less than 99 minutes within mexico city.

We started creating all the technological advances in a delivery experience that non of the huge delivery companies have not even today. 1 year later after creating the base for the company we received a 1M investment from a logistic consultant company…. this is a long story but to make it short we almost went bankrupt for 3 years due to this investor until in 2018 we were able to buy our shared back from them and that is when the company really kicked off. For me those 3 years were the years i most learned of my bad decisions, but it helped the company have great margins due to the fact that our investor was going bankrupt and couldn’t pay us for the sales we made. So 2018 the company grew to chile, started opening more cities and not only operating them locally but also connecting them. 2019 we tried to raise a 5M round already selling more than 5M a year and having positive ebitda, but back in 2019 there where no international investor or at least active for mexico so it was very difficult to raise money, we decided to apply to yc and got in. We raised 5M in 3 days in Safe’e something that was really new for us. 2020 we continued our growth, 2021 we raised 25M from kaszek and Prosus, opened 4 more verticals: fulfill99, ruta99, punto99 and Cash99. 2022 we raised 82M from Oak hcSo now we have operations in 4 countries, more than 70 cities combined, more than 8k employees, still growing 3X every year ." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "Have a prime experience in any logistical solution from your ecommerce. At first is was just fast, cheap and reliable, when we launch the average delivery time in mexico was 12 days. Now most companies have fast delivery but 99minutos give the entire logistics circle for ecommerce so you can give your customers a amazon prime style delivery without selling in those marketplaces. Where we will handle their inventory, delivery in hours, full visibility, more drop off pick up points than all delivery companies combined, we offer cash on delivery, saas for routing tools, etc." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision?
