We also give our retailer partners incremental trips that, in the past, they would have lost to competitors.  Aisle50 content, because much of it is in the form of offers that are paid for through Web or Mobile, compel the consumer to head to the store sooner rather than later.  \n\nEverybody wins: We drive trips to stores, new customers to CPGs and big discounts to consumers.",

In both art and dramatic play, children construct settings, create fictional characters, and act out fantastic storylines that would be the envy of many Hollywood scriptwriters. Yet, ask that same child to write out a story in a blank notebook or a word processor and you would be lucky to capture a fraction of the depth and splendor of his or her imagination. Play inspires and scaffolds the creative process from an early age, but there is a persistent gap between the origins of imaginative play (ages 4-5) and kids' adoption of the formal discipline of creative writing (ages 8-10).\r\n\r\nAt Launchpad Toys, we're using mobile devices like the iPad to bridge this gap between informal and formal learning, to harness the power of play to help children capture and share their ideas with other kids around the world. Our first product, Toontastic an app for the iPad, is a creative learning tool that blends constructionist and social development theories to empower young children to create, learn, and share their ideas through play.",

With my computer science background and his design acumen, we began programming iphone apps and making a living off of that for some time. After a series of iphone apps and businesses, we learned that we worked really well together and both had the passion and resilience to eventually build a successful business.Prior to GOAT, we had launched a few projects one of them being a social dining app called Grubwithus. The idea behind the app was to break social norms and bring people together through food at a restaurant. The app gained a good amount of attention at first, but there were a lot of friction points with coordinating people, dates, food and restaurants, and we eventually realized it was a hard business to scale and decided to shut it down.In 2014 Daishin, a huge sneakerhead since he was a kid, unwittingly bought a fake pair of Jordans off of another platform. The process was difficult - Daishin had to look through many photos of the same shoes, then look to see how trustworthy a seller was, how much the price would be with shipping and when he would receive them by. There was no standardization. When the shoes arrived, he realized they were fake and we both understood that the fake sneaker industry was a big threat. We knew there was a need for a platform to regulate the system and there wasn’t a solid tool out there to do so. We created GOAT to bring trust and safety to the sneaker market. "

    "long_description": "At its core GraffitiGeo allows users to leave brief reviews of restaurants, or for those too lazy to do that, to simply leave a \"thumbs up\" or \"thumbs down\" — it's like a highly condensed version of Yelp, or a \"Digg for the world\". These reviews and votes can be cast from the site's iPhone app or from the service's homepage. The homepage also features a stream of the latest comments to come in from other users, as well as a profile for each restaurant in the system that includes all of its votes and comments. There's also a nifty feature that lets you view a heatmap of your current region, so you can quickly figure out the hot spots in town.\n\nThe gameplay in GraffitiGeo gives you points for checking into certain locations, similar to FourSquare, but doesn't really let you do anything with them. With GraffitiGeo, you earn points for every action you take, be it voting on a restaurant or leaving a brief comment. Once you've reached a certain point threshold, you can use those points to start a \"mob\", which you can invite your friends to join. Mobs allow friends to pool their points, which can then be used to acquire territory, which corresponds to actual city blocks. Whenever someone votes on one of the restaurants on the block, the mob gets some street cred too. It's definitely going to be confusing at first, but it also brings a team element to gameplay.",

And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions.  \r\n\r\nNo global movement springs from individuals. It takes an entire team united behind something big. Together, we work hard, we laugh a lot, we brainstorm nonstop, we use hundreds of Post-Its a week, and we give the best high-fives in town. Headquartered in San Francisco, we have satellite offices in Dublin, London, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Berlin, Moscow, São Paolo, Sydney, and Singapore.",

It aggregates and organizes content being shared on the Internet as it happens, like eye-witness reports of breaking news, photos and videos from big events, and links to the hottest memes of the day. It does this by constantly indexing live updates from services including Twitter, Flickr, Digg, Delicious and more. When users search for a topic on Scoopler, they get the most relevant results, updated in real-time.\n\nScoopler has now become JustSpotted, a celebrity-tracking tool, meant to give fans an idea of what their favorite celebrities are up to at any given moment. JustSpotted, like Scoopler, is a data-aggregator, yet JustSpotted collects from Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare -- alongside their own data they’ll be collecting from users who actual spot celebrities in the wild. All the information we aggregate is publicly available and you can even do a search on Twitter yourself and find sightings of celebrities. We're just the first people to organize it on a map and in such a way that it's easy to consume and ENJOY.”\n\nJustSpotted is about connecting with celebs. All the sightings on our website are naturally occurring events where an everyday person bumps into a celebrity as a chance occurrence. Back in the day, when you saw a celebrity while you were out and about the first thing you would have done was phone or text a friend. In the new age of social media, the first thing you do is share it on Facebook or Twitter. This phenomena is already happening.\n\nThe service, which launches the week of October 11, 2010, is the latest creation by AJ Asver, Dilan Jarawardane and Benjamin Tauber.",

These photos are printed and mailed to one or more recipients every 2 weeks.\r\n\r\nPicwing also provides digital photo frames built upon a Linux kernel. Users can send an image from their desktop or phone, and within 20-30 seconds see it on a digital frame. The frames are mini Linux machines that the founders hope will eventually be able to support much more than image sharing.",

After receiving funding from Y-Combinator in 2007, we produced Adpinion, one of the first advertising networks to utilize user feedback to drive personalized targeting.\n\nOur core technology — the recommendation engine called SparseReduce — has since proved infinitely adaptable in such diverse problem domains as Amazon product recommendation, eBay auction discovery, image and language comprehension, and Twitter stream exploration.\n\nThe latest application of SparseReduce is Appsaurus, an app discovery platform which was released on the eve of 2010 to overwhelming critical acclaim.\n\nWe're backed by some pretty incredible investors: Harrison Metal, Mitch Kapor, Chris Sacca, Y-Combinator and David Parker to name a few. We're also proud to have Alexis Ohanian as an advisor.",

You can view postings (mostly gossip and secrets) from the whole community as well as get updates for when someone in your group of friends makes a post. The vast majority of their members appear to be women, with over 600 posts being made per day. These guys will also be taking a new spin on their idea, launching Disenchat.com, a place to post anonymously about your workplace. The system will verify your organization by email address (like Facebook) and let you start riffing. Outsiders will be able to see the existence of the forum and volume of posting, but not the specific comments.",

By providing a home try on program and giving the ability to make custom fit adjustments to all of their apparel, Vastrm allows its customers to finally hone in on and find the perfect fit for their unique body types.\r\n\r\nTang came up with the idea for Vastrm, which is a Sanskrit word for cloth, when a customer told him he had purchased a perfect shirt in Italy and has never been able to find the same fit again. He was considering flying back to Italy to track the shirt maker down, but Jonathan managed to adjust Vastrm shirts to the same fit.",

    "long_description": "Thread, a free online personal styling service for men, uses a combination of human stylists and a powerful algorithm to make it easy for guys to dress well. Thread was founded in 2012 by three guys—Kieran, Ben and Ben—who wanted to dress well, but found it difficult or frustrating to do so: they hated shopping on the High Street and were overwhelmed by millions of choices online. \r\n\r\nThread combines the best bits of tech with the best bits of personal styling: After signing up by completing a short questionnaire and uploading photos of yourself, you’re paired with a stylist who reviews your information and uses Thread’s proprietary algorithm to sort through thousands of items to create the best outfits for you. When you log onto Thread, everything you see is tailored to your sizes, budget, preferences and tastes. \r\n\r\nWe’ve raised $16 mm in funding from investors in the realms of tech, Artificial Intelligence and fashion, including Beringea, Balderton Capital, Demis Hassabis and Mustafa Suleyman (co-founders of Google-owned DeepMind), Andrew Jennings (former president of Saks 5th Avenue), Edgar Bronfman Jr. (former owner of Warner Music), Guy Hipwell (former head of online at Harrods and Liberty) and Shakil Kahn (founding investor in Spotify).",

Such attorneys usually have more flexible hours, lower rates, and greater interest in customer service than to their larger firm counterparts. The problem is that there is so many such lawyers; how is someone supposed to figure out who is right for them, and who has some time to take on their case? Fair question. Coincidentally, we started Lawdingo to answer just that. \r\n\r\nIf you're looking for a lawyer, we encourage you to try finding an easier way to get one to work for you. If you are a lawyer working in solo or small practice, we encourage you to find a more effective way to grow your law practice. \r\n\r\nWe also encourage you not to take our word for it. Read what Solo Practice University, the ABA Journal, FindLaw, AboveTheLaw, TechCrunch, Lifehacker, and others say about us. This isn't some fly-by-the-night company. This is the future of the legal industry. We hope you'll get in touch. \r\n\r\nLawdingo was started by Nikhil Nirmel (nikhil@lawdingo.com), an entrepreneur with a background at Yelp and Wharton Undergrad, and Dan Langevin , a ridiculously talented technologist who was formerly CTO of Lifebooker.

        "answer": "The company was co-founded by Sandro, a developer, and Urska, a designer & sculptor. Our journey began with building remote patient monitoring systems for medical clinics. However, as the public health system was slow in adopting new technologies, we saw an opportunity in the consumer market. We never went into this with the idea of being founders per se, we just wanted to build things that will help women. "

        "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?",
        "answer": "Our journey starts in 2013 when we won the Pioneers Challenge and met Michael Seibel, who later became one of our angel investors. We were really impressed by Michael's stories about the Y Combinator community and decided to apply to the program. The process was fairly vigorous and competitive, but our persistence paid off and we were accepted into the Y Combinator '14 batch. The experience itself was incredibly intense, as we were one of a few foreign, let alone hardware companies in our batch which made us work even harder to adapt to the different business mentality in Silicon Valley. Nonetheless, we successfully completed the program and moved on to fundraising on demo day. We were able to raise a significant portion of our seed round on the spot and immediately after demo day. Despite these challenges, we remained committed to our goals and were able to overcome the obstacles in our path, which made the experience a memorable and incredible one."
      },
      {
        "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?",
        "answer": "We stay connected with the Y Combinator community and maintain close relationships with our batchmates, other founders, and select teams from Europe. This helps us stay updated on each other's progress, find ways to help each other, and take advantage of Y Combinator resources and programs, which have been essential for growing our company and achieving goals."
      },
      {
        "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?",
        "answer": "Bellabeat started as a company focused on addressing the lack of attention given to women's wellness in the market with the mission to understand and improve women's health & wellness from a holistic standpoint. Over the years, we have evolved to become a leading solution for women's health and wellness. In 2014, we were a part of the top cohort at Y Combinator and raised a substantial seed round. This was followed by the launch of our flagship product— Leaf Nature, the first wellness tracker designed for women, the following year. In 2019, we introduced a membership program offering personalized health and wellness guidance, further solidifying our position in the market. We continued innovating and in 2021, we launched Ivy, a new wearable device that provides personalized health guidance based on a woman's menstrual cycle and biometric data. Throughout our journey, we made a significant impact, launching various Leaf editions, Time smartwatch, as well as Spring- a smart bottle. We’re proud that our products are not only helping women reach their full potential, but also accompanying them during the most important parts of their lives. "
      },
      {
        "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
        "answer": "Realizing the lack of attention given to women's wellness in the market, we founded Bellabeat with the mission to understand and improve women's health by utilizing the cycle as a focal point of women’s health and wellness. We noticed that women, in pursuit of knowledge about their health & well-being, only relied on information gathered through reading online, joining forums, or visiting their physicians. While these sources are great to educate women, they’re missing a key point that women need in order to understand their bodies on a daily—biofeedback.When creating Ivy and combing it with our personalized programs and cycle input, we wanted to give women the tools they need to understand their bodies every day, receive actionable advice, and see the change for themselves. By delivering timely and appropriate guidance adjusted to the different stages of the menstrual cycle, every individual user’s unique bio-responses, and lifestyle tracked through sensor technology, we’re introducing women to a way of life that is in sync with their natural hormonal rhythm. A way that leads to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier future where women start working with their bodies instead of against them to achieve their wellness goals. "
      },
      {
        "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
        "answer": "Our long-term vision is to revolutionize the understanding of women's cycle and wellness to empower them to live their full potential. By providing personalized guidance through our subscription option, we aim to bring a new perspective to women's health and wellness that goes beyond traditional approaches. Our goal is to become the leading femtech company in the world and help women lead healthier, better, and more equitable lives."

Then they wait to get a \"backpack request\" and ask their price. Finally, they confirm the deal, buy the items, deliver them and earn money. Shoppers on the other hand, search items from their favorite websites and fill out the item description. Then they give their location and find a traveler coming to their city. Finally they \"request backpack\" and confirm the deal. Within days they can get the product and save money.  \n\nbackpack is founded with a vision to provide every citizen of the world with a choice; the choice of buying organic, authentic, and cost effective products with minimum friction.\nWhether the product is state-of-the-art consumer electronics, exotic pashmina from the south-east, or even medication that are rare in some parts of the world and not so rare in others - we promise ourselves to get those products to your doorsteps. We would like to reject the counterfeits, we would like to reject the almost-originals, most importantly, we would like to not pay the heavy expense incurred, most of which we deem to be superfluous.

We solve two core problems:\r\n \r\nFor consumers: Lawn Love is a modern, seamless lawn care experience. Gone are the days of physical, in-person estimates, payments left under the doormat, and spotty service. We use a combination of high-resolution satellite imagery, public and private data sets, and human review to generate a personalized quote for your yard – all in under two minutes and without ever setting foot on your property.\r\n \r\nFrom there, you are paired with a skilled lawn pro who will show up and complete the work. You can coordinate everything from your smartphone or web browser, and the entire experience is streamlined and delightful.\r\n \r\nFor lawn pros: We start by bringing a pipeline of new customers straight to your door. No more spending hours hanging door hangers or dealing with snake-oil SEO salespeople. Just pick up whatever jobs you want, fill out your schedule, and you’re good to go. We also handle all the customer service, accounting, and collections; freeing you up to spend less time on the back-office work and more time in the field earning money. And that’s just the start: Our advanced job clustering and routing algorithms help build you much denser routes, allowing you to do up to twice as many jobs per day while slashing your fuel expenses and idle time.\r\n \r\nIn short, we’re democratizing software that was previously only available to large companies in the space, and giving small business owners tools to operate more efficiently and better compete with the big guys.",

We've taken a unique approach to changing the food delivery space and it's starting to pay off. Zoomer has stayed out of the spotlight so you won't find much about us online, but our charts are going up and to the right in impressive fashion and more importantly, we are growing and working with more and more restaurant partners, driver partners & hungry diners each day. We are backed by some of the best investors in the world including Foundation Capital, Y Combinator (S14), First Round Capital, SV Angel, Eric Ries and others. \n\nZoomer connects high volume delivery restaurants with independent delivery drivers. Our platform has been built to handle an extraordinarily high volume of concurrent deliveries. Restaurants leveraging the Zoomer platform are able to provide a better & more consistent delivery experience for their customer, which ultimately leads to a stronger bottom line. Independent drivers on the Zoomer platform have the ability to create their own schedule & increase their own efficiency, resulting in more earnings.  And of course, customers receive their orders dramatically faster than the status quo.\n\nThis is your opportunity to get in on the ground-floor. You’ll have a ton of impact – lots of freedom to evolve our processes, systems, partners, platform, stack and apps. We’re currently hiring across a number of teams,  there’s a full listing of our open roles at www.zoomerdelivery.com",

Planning your trip should be a joy, not a chore! We help people to travel responsibly, by booking direct instead of using traditional booking sites. Travellers get the best price and they help local businesses avoid unnecessary fees. \r\n\r\nTravel experts, content creators and the friends you always ask for recommendations can use The Guide to showcase their favourite places to stay and things to do. When you book one of their recommendations, you’ll get a discount from the business and they receive bonus credit to say thanks.\r\n\r\nThe Tab platform gives independent tourism businesses the tools to improve their online presence, be discovered, take direct bookings — and also to take payments. Our payment platform is uniquely designed for tourism businesses, handling over 100 currencies natively, and every payment type securely and easily.\r\n\r\nAs travel returns after a difficult period, it’s time for a fresh approach. That’s why we’re building a social commerce platform for tourism — helping to spread the benefits of tourism far and wide, and helping travellers make the most of their precious time abroad. \r\n\r\nWe're headquartered in London, and backed by Y Combinator (the investors behind Airbnb, Dropbox and Stripe).",

They turned this modernist gadget into a useful everyday kitchen tool by dramatically reducing the price of the machine and redesigning it from the bottom up for at-home functionality. Five years later, the sous vide machine is turning into a mainstream darling and the advent of the Nomiku Sous Chef Meal delivery program (launching on May 15, 2017) breaks the last barriers to make sous vide accessible to everybody.\r\n \r\nThe Nomiku Sous Chef launch comes at the heels of Samsung Ventures participating in an investment round in the startup.

With water savings up to 70% compared to traditional showers, Nebia was designed to make a meaningful impact without compromising on experience.\r\n\r\nAt the heart of our products is our unwavering dedication to developing groundbreaking sustainable solutions that stand the test of time. Every new iteration is made to solve a complex engineering challenge that has limited innovation for over a century. Our investment in R&D and product development is second only to our investment in the people who are making it possible.\r\n\r\nAfter several years working behind the scenes, we are extremely proud of what we have recently achieved:\r\n- $10m raised on Kickstarter\r\n- Products in 100,000 homes\r\n- 500+ million gallons of water saved (c. 2022)\r\n- 27 million kWh (27 GWh) of energy (approx. energy to heat 2,700 U.S. homes in one year)",

Bryan developed an interest in entrepreneurship when he first started reading PG during his PhD program. We met in 2015 when Bryan was running a product development firm and I was considering hiring his firm to build our early prototypes. Bryan decided to take the leap and offer to join as co-founder and we were off to the races. The company got started a little before that when I was a graduate student at Chicago Booth cooking for myself one day, using multiple appliances and taking 2+ hours to make an ordinary meal — and thinking that all these appliances could be automated. After a lot of customer research, it became clear that cooking was just one part of the journey to get a meal on the table and that if we wanted to deliver on the holy grail of quality and convenience, we had to control the full end-to-end experience from shopping to prepping to cooking to cleaning. Thus, Tovala was born."

After talked to a couple alums and a couple people that worked at YC, they made it very clear to us that it was a no brainer to apply. And I’m glad we did.Our experience applying and interviewing is one I won’t forget. I remember interviewing with Michael and Carolyn and Michael sending us down a rabbit hole of building a full size oven. Glad we didn’t do that 😂 . Going through the batch was fun. It was nice to have a cohort of people doing the same thing at the same stage. Wish I had more of that now, but there just aren’t as many companies of our size/stage around, in particular in Chicago. Fundraising was harder than we expected at demo day. Apparently people are scared of hardware + food companies. It took us 2 months to raise our seed round, but we did it eventually and things ultimately worked out."

It’s an excellent, cost effective way to commute, used by hundreds of thousands of Americans, but the industry is largely offline. It’s difficult to find, join, and start vanpools. \r\n\r\nWe build software that fixes this, making vanpooling simple and flexible. We believe that in a post Covid world, it will be more important than ever to rethink shared transportation and make it more adaptive.\r\n\r\nOur customers are organizations like transit agencies and employers who have existing vanpool fleets. We provide these customers with our SaaS platform that manages their vanpool programs. We capture real time information about open seats, then make those seats available to book through our app. We also make it easy for people to crowdsource and start new vanpools.",

        "answer": "Function of Beauty was created by beauty outsiders: two MIT grads and a chemist who believed that everyone deserves a custom product and should be empowered to create their own beauty journey. Engineer and MIT grad Zahir Dossa was trained to see problems as equations to be solved. But when he looked at the beauty industry, what he saw didn’t add up—real people were more than broad categories like “curls” or “dry,” so cookie-cutter solutions could never deliver transformational results. No wonder consumers never saw the results they were after. But making effective, customized products at scale was thought to be impossible.   Zahir teamed up with fellow MIT grad Josh Maciejewski and cosmetic chemist Hien Nguyen, combining their expertise in supply chain, sustainability, and data science to create something revolutionary in the beauty industry. They imagined enabling every consumer to create their own product based on a totally customized set of variables, made to order with bespoke craftsmanship and care. They imagined an algorithm-based approach that would let them constantly iterate and improve every formula. The most important variable at the center of their equation was the consumer, who—for the first time—could be honored with formulas as one-of-a-kind as they were."
      },
      {
        "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?",
        "answer": "We built a pioneering production facility and algorithm that allowed customers to co-create perfect, freshly crafted hair care formulas.  We focus on select, targeted, high-performing ingredients, expertly combined to work for optimal efficacy. We deliver freshly formulated, customized hair care right to customers, minimizing waste and ensuring you get everything they need  — and nothing they don’t.After building a successful DTC business, we set out to become an omni-channel pioneer and bring customization to the brick and mortar environment. In 2020, we designed and introduced a new concept and behavior for consumers - giving them options to mix their own custom shampoo and conditioner at home."
      },
      {
        "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
        "answer": "At Function of Beauty, our mission is to truly empower individuality and we are the first brand to deliver on this promise by offering a fully personalized response to the vast diversity of hair and skin goals that women and men have. There is no one size fits all product, and we believe customization is the ultimate response to consuming more sustainably by having the perfect product made just for you. Customization is a challenging task that most beauty brands have not been able to figure out. We developed a unique technology and manufacturing capability which allows us to create custom formulas at scale.  We saw an opportunity to make a difference."
      },
      {
        "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
        "answer": "We often get the question about how big is big for customization. We believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental evolution of customer behavior. Customization is  the future of beauty. It is a sustainable response to the consumer evolution and changing complexity of their beauty needs.  Today, nearly everyone can have access to custom formulas for their unique hair, skin and body needs. We want to continue to democratize access to custom beauty products over the next few years."

    "long_description": "At Extern, we’re solving the experience gap.  Extern created the remote Externship, a skill-building work experience that is easier for students to access, and easier for companies to run, than an internship.  Our mission is to help anyone discover and launch their career through professional experiences available anywhere at any time.  Since 2020, we’ve created and powered Externships for over 50,000 students on behalf of companies from Fortune 500s to startups.  \r\n\r\nAfter spending $100K on average for a 4-year degree, graduates find that almost 40% of entry level jobs on Linkedin required 3+ years of work experience. Internships are how many college students get this kind of experience, but the demand for good internships outstrips the supply. Internship programs are difficult to scale, they favor students who already have social capital, and they’re time-consuming for employers to run.\r\n\r\nExternships are short, online, project-based work experiences that employers can offer to hundreds of students using less resource and employee time than it would take to support an intern.  Extern makes the complex process of running an Externship completely turnkey with software and industry experts which in turn makes professional experience more accessible to more students.\r\n\r\nBy making work experience more accessible, Extern is driving the rapid mobility and upskilling needed for a new economy.  We envision a world where anyone can access work experience as a form of education – no matter their background, experience, or socio-economic status.  Come join our movement to reshape work, education, and credentialing for future generations with the Externship.\r\n\r\nExtern was born out of a pivot from Paragon One (W17) which initially focused on providing students with a career center-as-a-service platform, connecting them with industry professionals to receive career coaching and guidance.  Backed by Y Combinator, Foundation Capital, Launch Fund, University Ventures, and Learn Capital.",

We do this by deploying a grid of lasers (Free Space Optics) over the cities & town and bring cheap and fast internet for everyone. We enable anyone to buy 1 gig of data access at a time at a price they can afford. Sachetization of internet access is the foundation to rebuilding internet for all.

Independent developers, meanwhile, need a way to improve discoverability, extend their revenue stream and find a space in which content is rewarded based on quality, not marketing budget.\n\nThey are working to fix every one of those problems. They have built a discovery system that’s going to help you find games you truly love. Our community is a work in progress, but you can learn more on our blog.

        "answer": "Snapsuite is a toolbox for Brands, Agencies and Influencers who publish content on Snapchat.\r\n\r\n1. Publish: Snapchat app offers limited features and inconvenient workflows for Professionals. With Snapsuite, Publishers can post programmatically scheduled Stories with content created from any sources. \r\n\r\n2. Take-Over: Brands love take-overs. They give their Snapchat credentials to guests for 24 hours with *full* access. Snapsuite manages permissions safely for take-overs. We also provide a simple workflow where account owners can review Stories before their publications.\r\n\r\n3. Analytics: How many followers do you have on Snapchat? Professionals have to count them manually. Same for the number of views of each story ...that disappears after 24 hours. Snapsuite collects those data and make them available through relevant reports and KPIs.\r\n\r\n4. Competitors Analysis: Same as Analytics ...but for Competitors.\r\n\r\nWe will also support Instragram Stories in the future."

Bits provided intuitive but powerful tools for scripting, timing, character changes, audio control, and scene composition, enabling fast, high-quality creative expression.

I found available resources designed to help those with records get back on their feet woefully lacking. Unemployment among those with records was/is staggeringly high, leading to recidivism rates of close to 75%. I knew there had to be a better approach.\r\n\r\nI came up with a tech-enabled strategy, and began a plan for 70 Million Jobs, the first for-profit employment platform for people with records. I was accepted into YC and had success in profitably facilitating thousands with records land jobs. Unfortunately, COVID hit and cratered our revenue, forcing me to shut down the company.\r\n\r\nI remained working in reentry (it’s been 15 years now), and hatched an idea to build a community for the billion+ people (globally) that have records, who uniformly express their needs for jobs, housing, community, medical and legal help. Commissary Club aims to address all of these needs by providing each user their own AI agent that doesn’t merely answer questions, but actually solves the problem. For example, regarding employment, it will create the resume, search for the jobs, apply for the jobs, perform interview prep, arrange for transportation to the interview follow up.\r\n\r\nThe agent will introduce members to other members. Set doctors appts. Award tokens rewarding good behavior. Truly agentic."

    "long_description": "If it isn’t bad enough that smokers don’t realize the scientific facts about nicotine, most non-tobacco nicotine products are poorly designed and unappealing to use. The leading gum is sold like a pharmaceutical drug, with flavoring and packaging to match. Vapes provide a cumbersome, over-the-top experience — with use as tightly restricted as cigarette smoking itself, but more juvenile, conspicuous, and highly addictive. People want, and deserve, a better way.\r\n\r\nTherefore, we want to deliver nicotine users a superior experience, and at the same time give them a way to transition out of feeling dependent. In a better society, people wouldn’t carry around the sensation that they’re stuck with an involuntary habit. Our mission isn’t to encourage nicotine use among people who haven’t started. Unlike certain vapes or other products, ours isn’t the sort coveted by underage users on social media. Our mission is to alleviate the harm related to tobacco — first and foremost, by switching people away from the most harmful products.\r\n\r\nSo, at Lucy, we take an evidence based view of nicotine. Nicotine’s pleasurable properties make it an inevitable part of modern society. Therefore, minimizing harm in all nicotine products is key, in addition to giving people products and strategies for cessation. We feel that, as 1,300 people are dying of tobacco related illnesses every day in the US, the most important and immediate step toward a better society is giving nicotine consumers products they enjoy using that will cause less harm.\r\n\r\nOur first product is designed to appeal to smokers and encourage them to switch. And, looking ahead, we hope to secure approval in the future as a clinically proven smoking cessation aid, while continuing to participate in the FDA’s public hearings around how NRTs are best regulated. Our goals are simple: because harm reduction is a better strategy around nicotine delivery than abstinence or prohibition, we want to help improve public health — and reduce its costs — through a superior pure nicotine product.",

We're a YC W18 company with two products.\r\n\r\nRest (getrest.app) is an AI sleep coach for people tired of bad nights, whether that's lying awake for hours or waking up at 3am. It's built on the principles of CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), the method sleep clinicians recommend first, and turns them into a daily program with a coach you can talk to at any hour. No appointments, no waitlists. People use it to sleep well again without leaning on melatonin, sleep aids, or 2am doom-scrolling. Users often go from years of broken sleep to sleeping through the night in weeks. We build Rest with sleep scientists and behavior-design experts.\r\n\r\nPodcast App is one of the largest independent podcast players: a minimalist app with tens of millions of downloads that uses machine learning to build playlists around what you like.\r\n\r\nOur team has built consumer products with 100M+ installs, and our work has been featured by Apple, TechCrunch, Yahoo, Fast Company, and Fox.

        "answer": "My conviction to build Super came when I was a kid. I grew up in my family’s retail business, which served tier 2 cities up to rural areas. I learned that life was unfair in the rural areas compared to the capital city where I grew up. The GDP per capita is over two times higher in the capital city than in the rural areas; however, the prices of goods are two to three times more expensive than in Jakarta (BPS, 2022). The experience of witnessing this injustice in the rural areas compelled me to build Super. Our vision at Super is to democratize the pricing of goods in over 500 tier 2 and tier 3 cities and rural Indonesia. This ensures that rural consumers have access to affordable prices similar to those enjoyed by consumers in Jakarta. As a social commerce platform, Super has made a significant impact in rural Indonesia. We empower agents, including “warung” (micro SMEs) and individual resellers in rural areas, enabling them to become the Walmart of their community by providing affordable prices for their neighbors. Our commitment extends to contributing to technological disruption and fostering economic growth in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and across rural Indonesia. To achieve this, we are dedicated to building our business and core team in the rural areas of Indonesia.  First, unlike the norm for start-ups in Indonesia, we established our headquarters (HQ) in East Java in 2018. The first generation of consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce juggernauts have operated in Indonesia for over a decade, and investors have poured billions of dollars into their balance sheets. However, they could only capture 7–10% of the offline retail market. In parallel, Indonesia has over 500 second and third-tier cities and rural areas with a much bigger untapped market potential. So, we took a different approach by growing our presence with social commerce online to offline models in \\~50 cities across East Java and South Sulawesi. What sets us apart is that we empower community leaders to act as agents, leveraging their social capital and providing technology to sell basic necessities to their friends, allowing them to benefit from the more affordable prices. In the next few years, we will penetrate 450 more tier 2 and tier 3 cities and rural areas in Indonesia. Secondly, the first generation of e-commerce players relies on team members from our capital city, Jakarta. At Super, 95% of our full-time employees are based in rural areas, encompassing key team members across operations, supply chain, business development, and technology. We believe that the hands and minds of rural people can create a unique product experience for rural users, and thus, we trust them to become the backbone of our operations. In addition, we actively promote gender equality in alignment with SDGs. Over the past few years, female team members have grown substantially, resulting in a nearly equal gender composition."

        "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?",
        "answer": "In college, I knew my dream was to become an entrepreneur, so I have heard about YC since college. At first, I frequently listened to the YC podcast on how to start a company and manage the growing pain in blitzscaling ventures, and I was impressed with how YC can help founders find PMF and scale. Back then, I decided that if I started a company right after I graduated, I would apply for YC.My experience was unbelievable. Back then, it was still rare for YC to invest in Indonesian companies. I had the opportunity to meet Gustaf during YC's visit to Indonesia, where he conducted a roadshow seminar introducing YC to the local startup community. Following the workshop, I approached him and shared my business idea. To my surprise, he said I should give it a try. I didn’t expect much then because it was like shooting for the stars. Surprisingly, the YC process was very straightforward. After the written application, I traveled to Mountain View for the interview, and it was the most intense 10-minute interview I’ve ever had. Post-interview, Gustaf continued with additional questions, and we finally made it into YC.As expected, going through the batch has been one of my life’s highlights. YC taught us how to measure PMF through data and provided the unique opportunity for one-on-one office hours with esteemed CEOs like Steve Huffman from Reddit, Paul Bucheit, Brian Chesky from AirBnB, and more. It was beyond my expectation that YC helped us build a robust PMF and shaped founders from day one to be resilient and give the best fight in building a startup.After three months of the program, we finally had to fundraise during demo day. Michael Seibel and Gustaf have been very helpful in guiding us in preparing for the presentation, managing the data room, and navigating the offers on the table. Amidst the frenzy of offers, we successfully achieved our fundraising goal.YC was one of the best decisions I have made, and it has played a vital role in the company’s success. If I had to restart my startup companies, I would willingly do it all over again."

By cutting middlemen and inefficiencies in the food supply chain, users get ultra-fresh groceries with savings, meanwhile helping the environment by reducing waste by up to 3X.\r\n\r\nEven though COVID-19 increased the use of grocery delivery apps, grocery shopping remains largely offline (~95%) and represents a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. Calii is already cracking the $1T groceries market in its path to become the next-gen Amazon in LatAm.",

(aka Positive) is now available at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms stores in California, serving Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and the San Francisco Bay Area.\n\nPositive makes healthy prepared foods using fresh ingredients from local farms. Popular items include Vegan Kale Caesar Salad, Herb Chicken Green Goddess Salad, and Peanut Butter Overnight Oats.\n\nBehind the scenes we combine a JIT supply chain, in-house production, point-of-sale data and our own cold-chain logistics network to deliver freshly made food from our kitchen directly to grocery store shelves.\n\nWe started out hawking salads at WeWork, then set up wholesale accounts with third-wave coffee shops like Alfred, Stumptown, and Intelligentsia where we built initial brand awareness. Today we’re in 88 grocery stores across California and growing. \n\nTo find a store that stocks Positive, visit [positive.co/stores](http://positive.co/stores).",

You first choose your dish on Simmer, and the delivery companies just take care of logistics. Through this, we are able to charge affiliate revenue for every order.\r\n\r\nNo one has done this before because determining a city’s best dishes requires millions of users to leave dish reviews.\r\n\r\nOur unique insight is that all the data required already exists online, in blog posts, social media, newspapers. It just needs to be aggregated, analyzed, and indexed. We have built a custom sentiment analyzer to do just that.\r\n\r\nOur vision is to be the first place people go when ordering delivery. \r\n\r\nThe founders have backgrounds in engineering and data science from UChicago (their alma mater) and they have both worked at food tech companies like Lolli and Pops and Blue Apron.",

We solved this by creating a subscription model where drivers pay a monthly recurring subscription of 59 to 99 USD depending on their monthly revenue. This also generates a higher LTV with low CAC as well as high engagement and fidelity ratios.\r\n\r\nTraction: Since our launch, we have achieved over 2,000,000 processed trips with more than 200,000 users, we bootstrapped until we achieved half a million trips and entered YC.\r\n\r\nMarket Size: There are over 14,000 second-tier cities in LATAM, with more than 500 million people without any access to ride-sharing or technology platforms at all.\r\n",

Installing an actual CRM like Hubspot felt like a wrong fit for my informal relationships -- these people were 'my team,' not customers.\r\n\r\nDex is a lightweight personal CRM that’s easy to stick with. Key to Dex is a Chrome extension that enables you to manage relationships while you’re in Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, and the social apps you already use. Dex can also send you actionable reminders (daily, or based on your calendar events) to log your interactions for next time. By using Dex, you can:\r\n\r\n- Build stronger relationships, by sending you a nudge to follow-up.\r\n- Be more thoughtful, by helping you remember where you left off.\r\n- Become a superconnector, by making connections you wouldn’t otherwise remember.\r\n",

It is highly fragmented with a low NPS. The end user experience demands a significant amount of the customer's time, involving visits to a physical shop & avoidable back & forth. This is increasingly unviable for busy urban Indian women. We make it super easy by letting women place an order online, get fitted at the comfort of their homes, help them with styling their fabric & deliver the made-to-measure clothes directly to their doorstep.",

To find products, they go to one place; for services, they go to several others; and for healthcare, a few more. In Colombia, in average, a person must visit or consult more than seven places per year to meet the needs of their pets.\r\n\r\nWe built a digital platform where users don’t have to go anywhere else to meet said needs. With two main sections; products and services. In the products section, we have more than 4,000 references (among which you can find most of the brands of food, snacks, medicines, accessories and others). In the services section, we have more than 17 services, all the healthcare, beauty and entertainment services. All of the above delivered straight to your home and with the flexibility of choosing the date and time on and at which you wish to receive the order, including same-day deliveries for the main cities and accepting all payment methods, both online and cash on delivery.",

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)",

    "long_description": "Explorex — The Memory Layer for Physical Commerce\r\n\r\n~90% of Indian retail happens in person, yet offline venues have no memory of their customers. Restaurants run on disconnected tools, and every visit ends with zero data captured. Explorex fixes this by owning both sides of the dining transaction.\r\n\r\nAt the center is Elite, our consumer app that is redefining how people dine out. Diners see live table availability, browse dynamic menus, order, and self-checkout instantly — no waiting, no interruptions. Behind it sits our infrastructure stack: Bridge OS (the full-stack restaurant operating system), Clyro (WhatsApp-native CRM), and ReserveX — all feeding a single behavioral data layer.\r\n\r\nThat data layer is what makes Explorex fundamentally different. Delivery platforms only see orders. We capture real-world, in-venue behavior — what people order, how long they stay, how groups behave, how menus perform, how experiences shape spending. Because we operate the restaurant OS and the consumer touchpoint, this data is irreplicable.\r\n\r\nWe're now building Elara, an AI dining concierge that turns this data into real-time decision-making — factoring intent, context, availability, and historical behavior. This moves us beyond discovery into becoming the intelligence layer for offline commerce.\r\n\r\nToday, Explorex powers 250+ partner restaurants and 3M+ diners across Bangalore and Hyderabad, processing 8M+ transactions annually (18M+ lifetime), and operates at breakeven.\r\n\r\nExplorex is not a SaaS tool — it is the infrastructure layer for offline dining, with AI and consumer experience at its core. Think Shopify for restaurants, on its way to becoming the UPI of restaurant operations.",

What pulled us into building together was a shared frustration: the biggest problems around us weren't hidden — they were so normalized that nobody saw them anymore.\r\n\r\nDining out was the perfect example. Waving down staff to order, waiting for the bill, restaurants running on disconnected tools with zero memory of their customers — everyone had accepted this as just \"how restaurants work.\" We couldn't unsee it. The entire offline dining experience was broken, and because it had always been broken, no one was fixing it.\r\n\r\nWe decided to become founders because these status-quo problems don't get solved by incumbents — they require someone naive enough to question the default. That conviction became Explorex."

      },
      {
        "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
        "answer": "\\~90% of Indian retail happens in person, yet offline venues have no memory of their customers. A restaurant that has served someone fifty times knows less about them than an e-commerce site they visited once. This is the core problem: offline commerce is data-blind.\r\n\r\nFor restaurants, this means running on disconnected tools — one system for billing, another for reservations, spreadsheets for everything else — with no way to know who their customers are, what they love, or why they stopped coming. For diners, it means friction everywhere: flagging down staff to order, waiting for the bill, and a dining experience that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades.\r\n\r\nIt's a big problem because of the sheer scale of what's being left on the table. Food services in India is a massive market, and it operates with almost none of the intelligence that transformed online commerce. Delivery platforms captured the \\~10% of eating that happens at home; the 90% that happens inside venues remains a black box.\r\n\r\nWe decided to work on it because the problem was obvious but invisible — it had been the status quo for so long that nobody questioned it. We realized that solving it requires owning both sides: the restaurant's operating system and the consumer's touchpoint. That's hard, which is exactly why it hasn't been done — and why it becomes an irreplicable moat once you do."
      },
      {
        "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
        "answer": "Our vision is to build the memory layer for physical commerce — starting with dining.\r\n\r\nIf we truly succeed, walking into a restaurant will feel like the internet already works: the venue knows you, the experience is personalized, ordering and paying are frictionless, and an AI concierge (Elara) guides you to the best possible experience before you even decide where to go. Discovery, decision, and transaction collapse into one intelligent layer.\r\n\r\nFor restaurants, success means every independent venue in India operates with the data sophistication of an e-commerce giant — understanding their customers, optimizing their menus, and reaching high-intent diners directly instead of renting them from aggregators at punishing take rates. Think Shopify for restaurants: infrastructure that makes the merchant more powerful, not more dependent.\r\n\r\nAnd dining is just the beachhead. The same problem — physical venues with no memory of their customers — exists across all of offline retail. If we win dining, we become the intelligence layer for offline commerce broadly: the UPI of physical retail operations, a shared infrastructure that makes the real world as smart as the digital one.\r\n\r\nThe world that results is one where the 90% of commerce that happens in person is no longer invisible — where physical businesses finally compete on equal footing with digital ones."

We're starting by targeting consumer use-cases, and our first one is VTubing: an emerging type of content where creators use computer-vision and motion capture to pilot 3D avatars as content creation tools.\r\n\r\nAvatar content (also known as VTubing) has broken into the multi-billion-view-per-month category on places like Twitch and YouTube. This has given a new group of people the power to tell stories and present themselves on their own terms online while also protecting their IRL identities.  Our goal is to build the largest platform tools for this new movement. We're now  the #1 US VTubing app on iOS. \r\n\r\nWe also recently announced our seed funding: we're backed by Amazon, Two Sigma Ventures, MakersFund, YCombinator, and other great investors.\r\n\r\nApp Store: https://hyper.online/download\r\nTechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/12/hyper-raises-3-6m-from-amazon-and-more-for-its-iphone-based-vtuber-friendly-avatar-platform/",

We host 20+ live virtual running classes and races per day, where runners join and run together from all over the world through a mobile app. Each class is hosted by a live, certified run coach, that tracks all participants' distances, paces, cadences, and interval summaries as they lead the runners via audio through effort-based run classes.\r\n\r\nEach runner can chat with the coach and other participants of the run, as well as see in real-time the distance of every other runner, no matter where they run from. This creates an incredibly motivational experience. \r\n\r\nIn addition to our daily lineup of classes, Charge hosts virtual races, partnering with race directors and charities to offer a virtual racing experience, with an in-person feel.

    "long_description": "Dressd is AirBnb for clothes; a P2P clothing rental marketplace. Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or deal with cleaning the items. Our initial target market is sorority girls who can have up to 3-4 events per week that they need a new outfit/dress for. One of our core theses is that this idea couldn’t have existed at scale until now because resale apps like Depop & Poshmark paved the way for a P2P model to work after familiarizing users with the process of taking pictures of items, shipping, etc. \r\n\r\nAdvantages to our P2P model\r\n\r\n- Entrepreneur-led\r\n    - Similar to Depop, most of our growth will be spearheaded by a group of “top renters”\r\n- More variety in inventory\r\n    - Existing rental companies like Rent the Runway own all the inventory so they're limited to the brands they buy/partner with. Since we're P2P, our users can rent any item or brand that's in someone else's closet\r\n- Better margins\r\n    - we don’t touch any inventory or deal with the cleaning of any items\r\n    - Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or the cleaning of items. This means people renting out their clothing on Dressd are responsible for shipping things out & returning them in good condition\r\n\r\nHere are some of our links!\r\n\r\n[dressd website](https://dressd.com/stylist-waitlist)\r\n\r\n[dressd instagram](https://www.instagram.com/shop.dressd/)\r\n\r\n[dressd tiktok](https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdMPYFRY/)\r\n\r\nread about dressd in Yahoo!

        "answer": "Clear's journey traces back to my own experiences and passion for technology and skincare. As I transitioned from studying physics at Imperial College London to delving into tech, finance and startups, I encountered a personal struggle with skin issues (cystic acne) that persisted for over a decade. I had tried everything; from diets, to medications, to products to try and improve my skin, but had great trouble in identifying if what I was trying was actually working. Having turned to online social media skincare communities for support, I knew I wasn’t alone. So, this struggle, coupled with a genuine desire to help others navigate their skincare journeys with confidence, ignited the idea behind Clear; an app that helped people to track their skincare routine, skin progress, access a community of like-minded individuals on a similar journey, and get data-driven, unbiased product recommendations.The vision was not only to provide users with personalized skincare recommendations but also to fuel innovation in the industry, enabling brands to create more effective product formulations. My personal connection to the mission, being my own customer, fueled my decision to become a founder. Clear is more than a company; it's a commitment to revolutionizing skincare and empowering individuals on their path to healthier skin."

The application process was rigorous, requiring a clear articulation of our vision, market potential, and the problem we aimed to solve. Going through the Y Combinator batch was a transformative experience, marked by intense mentorship, invaluable insights, and a supportive community of fellow founders.Fundraising at Demo Day was a pivotal moment in Clear's journey. Presenting our vision to numerous, influential investors provided a platform to showcase the potential impact of Clear in the skincare industry. The experience not only facilitated crucial funding but also opened doors to valuable connections and partnerships. Y Combinator played a pivotal role in shaping Clear's trajectory, contributing to its growth and success in the dynamic startup ecosystem."

Founded by Ahana Banerjee, an alumna of Imperial College London, Y Combinator, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 awardee, Clear is more than an app—it's a community-driven platform reshaping how people buy, track, and share their skincare routines.From its inception, Clear has pioneered features that make it the Strava for skincare, offering users a comprehensive platform with selfie analysis data providing insights to cosmetic brands.Our growth story is one of organic success, with 10,000+ users achieved without any paid acquisition or marketing hires. We've been featured as one of the \"Best New Apps\" in the US App Store in 2023, underscoring our impact and relevance in the skincare space.Our community is at the heart of our success, contributing to over 500,000+ routine check-ins and 32,000+ posts, fostering engagement among skincare enthusiasts.

      {
        "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
        "answer": "The core problem Clear addresses stems from a lack of clarity and communication within the skincare landscape. Consumers find themselves grappling with uncertainty about which skincare products to use and whether these products are effective. Simultaneously, skincare brands face a challenge in understanding their consumers, hindering industry-wide innovation. Dermatologists, too, encounter difficulties in efficiently communicating with their patients.\\\\This problem is substantial because it permeates the entire skincare ecosystem. For consumers, the ambiguity around product efficacy can lead to frustration and wasted resources. Skincare brands, without a clear understanding of consumer behavior, struggle to innovate and tailor their products to meet genuine needs. Dermatologists, the experts in skincare, face inefficiencies in conveying information and prescribing effective routines.\\\\The decision to tackle this pervasive issue arose from a personal connection and a broader recognition of its widespread impact. I personally endured the challenges of skincare struggles, which fostered a deep empathy for others facing similar dilemmas. Recognizing the industry-wide ramifications of this problem, the decision to create Clear was driven by a passion for revolutionizing skincare journeys, providing clarity for consumers, empowering brands with actionable insights, and facilitating seamless communication between dermatologists and their patients.Clear's mobile app acts as a transformative solution by offering routine tracking and a dynamic social community. This platform enables users to objectively measure their skincare progress, connect with a supportive community, and receive data-driven product recommendations. For skincare brands, Clear becomes a conduit for real-time insights into consumer behavior and sentiment, leveraging product usage metrics and user-generated content. Moreover, Clear facilitates secure sharing of routine and progress data between users and medical professionals, allowing dermatologists to prescribe effective skincare routines seamlessly.In essence, Clear emerges as the bridge that resolves the communication gaps in the skincare industry, providing users with confidence in their skincare choices, brands with valuable insights, and dermatologists with efficient tools to enhance patient care in this $200B industry."

        "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
        "answer": "Clear's overarching vision extends beyond being a solution for current skincare challenges. Our aim is to become synonymous with skincare, a pervasive force in a $200 billion market. The long-term vision for Clear envisions a comprehensive ecosystem that transcends conventional boundaries. From being a single source of truth for skincare recommendations and self-tracking to delving into teledermatology, operating an expansive e-commerce marketplace, introducing a rewards program, curating engaging skincare content, entering the skincare market, and fostering industry-wide innovation through data-driven insights – Clear aspires to redefine and elevate every facet of the skincare experience.As Clear achieves its long-term vision, the world of skincare will undergo a transformative shift.

        "body": "🚀 **We just launched Clear Premium: the smarter way to track your skincare, discover what actually works, and feel confident in your skin.**\n\n👋 Hi everyone, I’m Ahana, founder of [Clear](https://getclearapp.com/), a skincare app helping tens of thousands of people take control of their skin through tracking, education, and community. We’re YC W21, and today, we’re launching something big: **Clear Premium**.\n\n### **💡 The Problem**\n\nSkincare is broken. People spend hundreds on products, but don’t know what’s working, what’s causing breakouts, or how to personalise their routine. Skin is complex, and most advice is vague, biased, or not designed for people of colour.\n\nAs someone who struggled with acne for years, I found myself wishing there was a way to _track_ my skin, get _honest_ recommendations, and see _real_ results over time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91922&key=user_uploads/543078/1890c5c9-36d4-4580-af64-7fdee16b3144)\n\n### **🧪 What We’ve Built**\n\n**Clear** is the app I wish I had when I was struggling.\n\nWith Clear, you can:\n\n* Log your routine + products\n* Take progress photos\n* Get ingredient breakdowns\n* Learn from a diverse, supportive skincare community\n\nAnd now, with **Clear Premium**, we’re giving people even more power:\n\n🔓 **Premium Features:**\n\n* Track unlimited progress photos\n* Smart routine analytics: see what’s really helping (or hurting) your skin\n* Compare products and ingredients side-by-side\n* Scan products for instant info\n* Export your routine and skin journal\n* More customisation, better insights, and no guesswork\n\n🎥 [Watch our premium launch video](https://youtu.be/8CzArSSg4ws?si=_VaCOIKZqzvai6jk)\n\n### **🛠️ Why We Built It**\n\nFor the past 3 years, we’ve grown Clear with very little marketing - just word-of-mouth from a passionate, underserved community. We’ve been used by 50K+ people across 100+ countries, featured on the App Store, and recently partnered with top dermatologists to help people get clinical guidance too.\n\nThis launch is a huge milestone for us. It’s our next chapter - one that gives our community more tools, more control, and a way to stop wasting time and money on trial and error.\n\n### **🎁 14-Day Free Trial**\n\nClear Premium is available now, and **every new member gets a 14-day free trial**. No strings attached. Just download the app and start exploring.\n\n📲 [Try Clear Premium now](https://getclearapp.com/premium)\n\n💌 Want to chat, collab or share feedback? Reach me at [ahana@getclearapp.com](https://mailto:ahana@getclearapp.com)\n\n---\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\nIf you know someone who’s struggling with their skin, or just skincare-curious, send them Clear. If you’re building in health/wellness/consumer tech and want to jam, I’d love to connect. And if you’ve launched a consumer subscription product recently, I’d love to hear what worked for you.\n\nThanks so much to the YC community for supporting us all the way from a 4-day-old idea to this launch, 4 years later 💙",

        "body": "**TLDR:** After noticing how much my diet impacted my productivity, I spent six months researching and A/B testing different diets to find one that gave me the most energy and mental clarity. Eventually, I found a protocol that worked — not just for me, but for dozens of my closest friends. But I couldn't find the time to cook consistently and no meal service met my standards. So I built my own.\n\n### **Problem ❌**\n\nAs a founder, I never had time to cook, so I’d always settle for Doordash meals that made me feel sluggish and low energy. After doing some research, I realized that most prepared meals have:\n\n* **Low quality and processed ingredients** - produce sprayed with synthetic pesticides and sauces filled with processed ingredients and artificial emulsifiers (neurotoxins that can harm brain function over time)\n* **Unhealthy oils** - full of low-quality vegetable and seed oils, which throw off your Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio (key to optimal cellular and brain function)\n* **Little to no fiber and protein** – dietary fiber and lean muscle mass are both huge components to regulating blood sugar (critical to sustaining energy levels)\n* **Packaging full of microplastics -** heating food in plastic containers leeches toxic chemicals and disrupts hormones\n\nAfter realizing that the way I eat can have a huge effect on my productivity levels, I started trying out “healthy” meal delivery services. Most tasted bad and claimed to be healthy, but after digging deeper, I realized it was mostly BS marketing with no real nutrition standards to back them up.\n\nThe Blueprint service appeared to be the best option, but after doing more research, I found that they just outsourced their food production to a company that uses seed oils and low-quality ingredients.\n\nEvery service I tried was compromised in some way. **I couldn’t find any options that hit all of the science-based health standards that I cared about and helped me perform my best.**\n\n---\n\n### **Solution 💡**\n\nI spent a long time doing research (and crunching studies with chatGPT) to come up with a strict list of rules for the food that I wanted to eat. Then, I found an experienced chef with over 20 years of fine dining experience and gave him a carefully curated list of approved ingredients for each meal.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88937&key=user_uploads/714052/e2221663-6c7b-4412-91ff-e4f7240f6c40)\n\nThe meals that he created were delicious, and after a few weeks, I started noticing I felt different. **I had more energy throughout the day, felt much less fatigue after a long day of work, and started sleeping better.**\n\nMy friends asked to join in and get meals from my chef, and many began to notice the same benefits that I did. That’s when I decided to offer this as a service to everyone.\n\n### **Our Ask ❤️**\n\nWe want Locale to be the best delivery service for people who care about their mental performance and long-term health.\n\n* **Have you found any nutritional hacks that have helped you be more productive?** Tell us what worked (or didn't).

We’re very excited to share the launch of nationwide shipping of America’s best eateries with you.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=66850&key=user_uploads/718129/1897c90c-b09d-4c66-93d6-e49871752d61)\n\n### **How We Started:**\n\nWe started with local delivery in the Bay Area, expanded to Los Angeles and San Diego. At the same time, we saw an overwhelming demand from customers across the country. \n\n### \n\n### **What We’re Launching:**\n\nLocale lets you order food from the most popular eateries across America for only $5 overnight shipping regardless where you live. Want to try Pizzana’s famous Cacio e Pepe pizza from LA? It’s $23 in store and the equally delicious frozen version is $23 on Locale.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=66850&key=user_uploads/718129/9ec5280b-6bd5-4629-a809-7f72b305212a)\n\n\n### **How It Works:**\n\nWe’re able to do this by purchasing frozen products from the top restaurants that they’re able to produce during their restaurant’s downtime. The minimum order is just $60. There’s so much good food on Locale that we’re confident you’ll have no problem hitting it.\n\nWould love for you to try us out and let me know your thoughts!

        "body": "Hey Launch YC, I’m Richie, cofounder of Forage Mail! 👋\n\nForage has seriously changed my relationship to my inbox, and I'm excited for more of you to experience it.\n\n[Watch demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM9X4DhtlJk)\n\n# **The Problem**\n\n Email is the glue that holds our lives together. Calendar invites, receipts, notifications, newsletters, (and more) all end up in our inbox. But, it's like a digital junk drawer that other people put things in and then we have to sift through them every day.\\\n\\\nAnd it never ends! Even if we get to the bottom today, it just fills back up again tomorrow.\n\n# **What is Forage Mail?**\n\nForage is not a new email app you need to learn. It’s an AI that plugs right into your Gmail account and filters out your low-priority mail. Then, it sends you a clean daily summary with everything it filtered out—including a TLDR of every newsletter you received.\\\n\\\nForage AI auto-labels emails, learns from your preferences, and gives you full control with custom rules. You can continue using any email app you prefer while Forage works in the background to streamline your inbox.\n\n\\\n**Works with every mail app**\\\nForage doesn’t replace your mail app. It connects to your Gmail account and runs in the background. So you can continue checking email as usual.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88022&key=user_uploads/77398/aa81e95d-0fc4-4db3-b556-d688020466f6)\n\n\\\n**A beautiful daily summary**\\\nForage sends you a daily summary email with everything it filtered out of your inbox. It groups emails by type and summarizes your newsletters—this makes it easy to skim, scan, and move on.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88022&key=user_uploads/77398/96d9596d-b4d9-4f30-b5a8-01e8db5aeed0)\n\n\\\n**A TLDR for every newsletter**\n\nEver find it hard to keep up with your favorite newsletters. Now, you can get the key points in your daily summary email and decide which articles you want to read in-full. Forage even gives you an estimated read time for each article.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88022&key=user_uploads/77398/2321939a-c461-4a89-8993-b51a305de075)\n\n\\\n**Protects your inbox from unwanted senders**\n\nForage makes it easy to unsubscribe from any sender with one click. You can also mute entire categories of email so they never show up in your inbox. Sometimes, senders don’t respect your unsubscribe request, but Forage is able to hide them anyway.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88022&key=user_uploads/77398/aa638edf-f448-422e-a003-f49726b5ea1e)\n\n\\\n**You’re always in control**\n\nForage AI makes intelligent decisions so it works well out-of-the-box. It learns from your preferences so it gets smarter the longer you use it. You can also create custom rules so you can decide exactly how your email is handled.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88022&key=user_uploads/77398/418dd868-14e5-4f10-ae8d-b1f39fc27ef1)\n\n# **How to get started**\n\nForage takes 30-seconds to set up. All you need to do is connect your Gmail account and Forage will create your first summary with the last 24 hours of email in your inbox. Then it will continue monitoring for new emails going forward.\\\n\\\n_We have a 14-day free trial, and you can get 10% off for life using the discount code LAUNCHYC10._\\\n\\\nWe’d love to hear your ideas, feedback, and questions!\\\n\\\nSpecial thanks to all the early testers who have helped guide the product over the last few months. You all are real ones. Thank you!",

Owners buy a real share of a property alongside a small group of vetted co-owners, each with guaranteed usage time every year. Unused weeks can be rented out or swapped for stays at other Ancana properties, so the ownership stays useful even as plans change. Ancana handles everything behind the purchase — setting up the ownership structure, vetting and matching co-owners, and managing the transaction — then runs the property year-round, from furnishing to bookings and maintenance. We operate in Mexico, the US, and Spain, each with different legal and regulatory requirements for ownership, and solving that structuring problem market by market is what makes the model hold up as we expand.",

Despite this growth, the only dedicated marketplace is difficult to use, doesn’t process transactions, yet facilitates over $600mm in vinyl exchanges per year. \r\n\r\nThis is why I finally decided to quit my job at Google and recruit my best friends from college to fix it. We’re all software engineers and have been passionate about music and vinyl since we were kids, and have $50k in records ourselves.\r\n\r\nWe started building a marketplace in July and launched our website 4 weeks ago.

To get the freshest produce, you need quick producer-to-end-customer delivery, not just quick warehouse-to-customer delivery. Membo lets you order food directly from hundreds of local food producers & organises delivery so you always get the freshest version of every product. Membo's CEO, Vahur Hansen, was an early engineer at TransferWise, and co-founder, Paula Kink, built her own healthtech startup. Launched in Dec 2020, we've grown 30% MoM for the past 8 months and have delivered over 4000 orders in Tallinn, Estonia.",

        "body": "TL;DR: Andi is **search for the next generation** using generative AI - visual, conversational and factually accurate. Instead of just links, [**Andi**](https://andisearch.com/) gives you **answers** in a fun and friendly way - like chatting with a smart friend.\n\nHey YC fam, we’re Angela and Jed and we’re building [Andi](https://andisearch.com/)!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73788&key=user_uploads/673843/6e575206-0716-407f-ba62-8228d473165c)\n\n### **✖️** The Problem\n\nWe all know search is broken, but it also has massive potential. Today, it’s full of ads, misinformation and SEO spam. With AI-powered search and chatbots the problem will get even worse, because LLMs make things up and bury the sources, and a new era of sponsored answers threatens to destroy trust online.\n\nWhat makes the web great is the high quality content that many producers spend hours researching, writing and creating. Google sells ads on their content without giving fair attribution or promotion. Now LLM-based chatbots give even less credit, or make sources up. Users have to spend more time fact-checking than searching.\n\n### **✅** Our Solution\n\nWith Andi, we want to make search 100x better. We’re building **practical** and **helpful** AI that is largely invisible to the user. We set a high bar on answer speed and accuracy and only show generated answers that have very high confidence. We focus on getting the building blocks like factual summaries and explanations right. We highlight and present rich information direct from sites rather than little snippets.\n\nWe make searching the web fun, interesting, and easy to understand. Our goal is to save you 15 - 20 mins by providing direct answers to questions, but only when they are _right_. Andi is **ad free**, **private** and **anonymous**, so you can feel safe online.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73788&key=user_uploads/673843/ceba85a8-d52d-4461-a816-708dff488213)\n\n### **🙌** What’s New\n\n📷 **Stunning visual results**: Search is more interesting, fun and useful with visual results that highlight the beauty and richness of content online, and enhance search with the meaningful information they contain.\n\n🤓 **Change your view**: Change how you see results based on what you need or your mood - with an entertaining **Feed**, an info-packed **Grid**, or simple **List** views. Results take full-advantage of large screens.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73788&key=user_uploads/673843/f1fc2871-7d14-462a-a149-c36a90f56a23)\n\n⚡ **Summarization**: Andi uses AI to select the best and most useful content from websites to display on results cards, generating short meaningful summaries for each. A **Summarize** button on every result gives you a short 200 word summary of the full content.\n\n🤯 **Explanations**: Understand complex topics with an **Explain** button on each result card that explains the content like you're in school.\n\n🪄 **Generate**: Get factually grounded and accurate tutorials, overviews, reports or other written content using the **Generate Text** button.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73788&key=user_uploads/673843/1e476f6b-177c-427b-ba23-c41c8828ecd0)\n\n### 🙏🏼 Asks\n\nTry it now at [andisearch.com](https://andisearch.com).\n\nIf you like it, please share it with your friends! 🙏🏼\n\nIf you want to use it on mobile, download the Progressive Web App!

It uses language models combined with live data to answer questions and summarize information based on the top sources.\n\nHey Fam, we're Angie and Jed and we're building [Andi](http://andisearch.com/). We're on a mission to unbreak the Internet and save the world from spam and ad tech.\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nIt’s become harder to find what you need online. Search is broken because results are overwhelmed with ads, clickbait, and low-quality content marketing. Even when the information you need is in there somewhere, you have to trawl through pages of links to content often buried behind ads and paywalls.\n\n---\n\n## **✨ Our Solution**\n\nAndi is a new type of search engine with an intelligent AI assistant that answers complex questions directly. It has a simple chat interface with visual cards. It's like messaging a smart friend who acts as an intermediary to online knowledge, and keeps you safe and productive online.\n\n### ⚙️ **How it works**\n\nAndi combines large language models with live data, reasoning and common sense. It's like a search of vertical searches and APIs. We use AI to understand questions and predict the best places to find answers, applying blacklist and quality filters. We retrieve and use live content in real time with semantic search ranking, rather than returning outdated information from stale models or a static keyword index. \n\n## **💙 Community fave features**\n\n👉 Get direct answers to questions\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64519&key=user_uploads/673843/4fe6c540-657b-4299-a362-a39ebd481748)\n\n👉 Visual results (a picture is worth 1,000 words!)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64519&key=user_uploads/673843/5723b727-30f2-4473-b9fb-46b3376c9cf8)\n\n👉 Reader mode: See content free from ads and clutter\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64519&key=user_uploads/673843/2f8a8522-6c43-4880-a013-bfb0e7e6dcb1)\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\nTry Andi!

        "tagline": "Our tech makes it easy, free, and secure to send crypto to your friends - no wallet required.",
        "body": "Hey YC community! 👋 We’re Ryan and Drew, and we’re building SolStar 🌟\n\nSolStar builds easy-to-use crypto tools for Discord communities. Our first product, SolStar Tip Bot, is like Venmo for Discord: send crypto to your friends with just a few clicks.\n\n![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/wIoPpjcf2tmVmuPZyaImGkOiYAZ7lQe8CzbPV8lArJdlQekgqnL8nkvZFru0Gf6PDT2FKH-R3_TNgh-ZEBvgwPmE4MYIP3pLSNe_J0FKMPS5CuDW2irjeyj9UhBrIaABn0okVds-gmfSEKKPCt8ZLsI)\n\n**The problem with crypto**\n\nCrypto is confusing and intimidating, with no clear entry point for beginners. To purchase crypto from scratch, a new user needs to:\n\n* Know what a crypto wallet is\n* Know where to sign up for one\n* Understand KYC and buy crypto on an exchange\n* Transfer from exchange to wallet\n* Manage to not lose their seed phrase\n\nIf these steps confuse you, you’re not alone. It’s even confusing to experts. This is ridiculous, and it leaves out 99.9% of internet users who aren’t heavy technical adopters. \n\n**SolStar makes crypto easy 🌟**\n\nSolStar makes it possible for anyone to use crypto—even your grandpa!\n\nAll you need to get started is a credit card. Skip the confusing steps above and dive in right away with a secure, approachable tool that makes crypto fun. You can add SolStar Tip Bot to your Discord, check your balance, and send a tip to a friend all within a few minutes.\n\nWhen you use SolStar, you’ll get a secure custodial wallet and easy access to your balance on our site.\n\n![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/tsVnxrqhqXvhpCffMLIPy_AlF4LSxutr3E2X8kfxEQ8VxrDdNdAae4fq5po1GycpQ5NclXNcsZxPxS04BBY7CAD6xYyGAS1YVFDT-wL7xR8JwHnvXx3fzhP0CSIi8YZNuPp5BVp1BS-w-_AyUvfWtVo)\n\nAnother feature we’re excited about - you can now buy tokens directly in Discord! Make it easy to join your community - no crypto experience required.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/CWak0ftirYZiVuZrqzSW_gaVtLibcCt2VAqVeHgkX4c14K1dTMJkF3cg_OI56KzVNmD55j-mM9VkBJWypGC7CuLNtjikFmBSCzQ_Q-QpTpok8G-43LAOg4P8be0yqRxOltCzWvQG9HOzcVg-NAJjTg8)\n\nAs an added bonus, you can interact with our Ask an AI tool, which features various personalities, including Antagonistic Viking, Honorable Julius Caesar, or Confused Isaac Newton.\n\n![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IwDm6-BbUGw3_hccj_gJ7CGyOtYOAIrL1iiffZYehQL94uU1w-B_OtvSIQsQhJDfsKayaL_tkHtLxlnUyZhM-xEWTNDTUNzQ73Cxm0j5aOK0EnJ4e6mQEcrTywU1jl7lpstok9QpF2YJiKsKUq_ik8w)\n\n**How It All Began ✨**\n\nWe’re a couple of software engineers who love crypto and gaming. We’ve spent more all-nighters than we can count hanging out in Discord, and we’re big fans of how it’s a user-friendly space to build community.\n\nWe wanted crypto to be more accessible and fun. There’s no better way to onboard people to crypto than to create a simple way for them to start using it in their own communities.\n\nWe wished we had something like SolStar, so we built it ourselves. \n\n**How you can help 💗**\n\n1. If you have a Discord Community, add SolStar for free: <https://solstar.finance/tip-bot-invite> \n2. If you belong to a Discord Community, tell your admin or community manager to check out SolStar: <https://solstar.finance/tip-bot-invite> \n3.

        "body": "Hi! Kadir and Griffin here to announce the launch of Lyra. 👋\n\n**TL;DR**\n\nLyra is a platform that makes spending Crypto every day possible. The platform provides an intuitive dashboard & chrome extension that allows you to create Visa cards on demand using the most popular crypto currencies.\n\n**Why we built Lyra? 🤔**\n\nThere’s currently only two methods to use your crypto what it was originally meant for, spending it. You have to send your crypto to an exchange and wait days for it to reach your bank account or hope to find a retailer that’s integrated a crypto payment processor. The reality is crypto users need an intuitive way to spend their crypto daily. Currently, there’s no way to spend crypto on the largest e-commerce platforms like eBay, Walmart, Target, etc without jumping through a bunch of hoops.\n\n**Solution - Lyra 💫**\n\nLyra provides a dashboard and chrome extension that makes spending crypto simple. Our chrome extension provides checkout assistance on top of all the functionality of the dashboard. At checkout on major retailers a Lyra checkout button will appear that displays all available cards to the user and auto fills their info with a single click! Lyra users don't have to expose their private keys or personal information. Your crypto, your keys. Choose any of the major cryptos, load up your balance, and generate your card. In three easy steps you’re ready to spend at any retailer of your choice. **_Check it out._** _👇_\n\n**Checkout**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65339&key=user_uploads/1005032/3fccb807-528a-4170-bc18-dd62b6225168)\n\n**Analytics**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65339&key=user_uploads/1005032/144dc451-0779-454f-a840-5bef91abacec)\n\n**Dashboard**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65339&key=user_uploads/1005032/831b6267-6ac1-4fcf-9ac4-bd45c11790c7)\n\n**Card Creation**\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/vYjyVMZ9EKGC8mMz7lB2GujsShPXQgWYCeywTxCHoVF560gUjgUMOjeta3kXeU0OdF21q4FkclkAuiqGctKddCHaduRwnw4NWR7Bf5YuCivAQKqMYpoMr1vTvYipit7iJloWC7RmTTcOxpARWCp5HHU)\n\n**Our Ask 🙏**\n\n1.

        "body": "Hey everyone!\\\n\\\nKadir and Griffin here! 👋\n\n[NFT Access](https://nftaccess.app/) is a multi-chain NFT ticketing platform that allows anyone to discover, create, manage, and attend events using pre-existing NFTs or new NFTs issued directly from our website.\n\n**Why we built NFT Access**\n\nIn short, traditional ticketing systems are tangled with inherent problems. Fraud is rampant, attendees that purchase tickets on the resale market often can't separate authentic tickets from fake ones and if they're able to purchase from authorized issuers the fees can cost up to 30% - 40% of face value. A traditional ticket has no use past the original event. We believe NFTs should serve the purpose of reusable general access tokens.\n\nThe event hosts have no benefit from the resale of their tickets, have no way to get data of the attendee if the ticket was resold, and the costs associated with issuing tickets is high. NFTs serving as tickets brings more revenue to artists, creatives and event hosts in the form of royalties from sales on the resale market, reduced production cost ( event can be created, new NFTs issued and ready to sell in under 5 minutes ), and prevents fake tickets because the blockchain provides us a trusted decentralized source for authentication.\n\n**Solution - NFT Access**\n\nOn NFT Access anyone can create an event. There's options to create multiple ticket tiers using pre-existing collections ( contracts ) or create tiers with new NFTs directly from the website.\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64258&key=user_uploads/1005032/bef3d8ca-33da-43be-b3bb-674b3381ecb9)\n\n**_The event page_**\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64258&key=user_uploads/1005032/47cccf6f-e78a-4794-9d28-c496d29d17e8)\n\n**_On checkout, attendees can view which NFTs have access to the event._**\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64258&key=user_uploads/1005032/9dfbd9e4-3e7d-4d58-b281-541983f13cc9)\n\n\\\n**Let’s connect** 🤝\\\nTwitter: <https://twitter.com/nftaccess_>\n\nEmail: [founders@nftaccess.app](mailto:founders@nftaccess.app)\\\n\\\n**NFT Access is publicly available, anyone can use it! 👇**\\\n[**https://nftaccess.app**](https://nftaccess.app)",

        "body": "> Hey everybody — it’s Sarup and Paul, the founders of [CodeCrafters.io](http://CodeCrafters.io).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64173&key=user_uploads/286989/672fcd25-74e0-49e0-b93f-8111386d6840)\n\n# \n\n# We once built our own Git from scratch\n\nAnd ever since, we’ve been obsessed with how popular devtools work.\n\nWe’d binge on books, blogs, videos to learn the internals of Docker, Redis, SQLite… but it just never felt adequate. Nothing could really provide us with the same level of confidence as building an actual project.\n\n# \n\n# So we created the experience we wanted\n\nWe launched 4 hands-on challenges of the _Build-your-own-X_ format on our site, and had 1000s of engineers go through them. We also began maintaining GitHub’s 15th most ⭐️ repo, [build-your-own-x](https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x).\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64173&key=user_uploads/286989/052818e0-2fab-4d57-8ed4-81dc336d4053)\n\n# Turns out, it’s a great way to master languages\n\nSenior engineers don’t come across many resources suitable for their skill level, so especially for them, CodeCrafters was a worthy investment of time. In addition to learning about how various devtools worked, they were:\n\n* Advancing their language skill (e.g idiomatic approaches)\n* Learning to design and refactor large code in a robust manner\n* Bonding with their teammates as they discussed approaches\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64173&key=user_uploads/286989/dc589502-0ed5-4f1a-815f-5ce0069fa9de)\n\n# So we re-imagined the learning experience\n\nThe experience is now organised around languages. The challenges now come with recommended approaches from language experts. Once you implement a feature, you can ask — _how would a Pro do it?_\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=64173&key=user_uploads/286989/4a2972b2-654c-4696-8041-f8e5c489887a)\n\nEngineers at companies like GitHub take advantage of their L&D budget to pay for CodeCrafters. To support teams that care about investing in their growth, we’ve introduced Private Leaderboards, a Slack app, and expensing workflows.\n\n# Asks\n\nWe can’t wait to help teams bond and grow with [CodeCrafters](https://codecrafters.io).\n\n* **Engineer**? Give CodeCrafters a shot, in your [favorite language](https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks)!\n* **Work in Engineering Enablement**? I’d love to learn about the different education initiatives at your company\n* **Well-wisher /** **existing customer**? Please send us a hi! It’s what keeps us going.\n\nI can be reached at [sarup@codecrafters.io](mailto:sarup@codecrafters.io) and over Twitter.\n\n— [@sarupbanskota](https://twitter.com/sarupbanskota)\n\nP.S. Think we’re the only ones crazy to build our own Git for fun?\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64173&key=user_uploads/286989/1c81f82a-7e46-4115-9d74-8230e6cd6207)\n\nWe asked Pete Koomen, co-founder of Optimizely, about [how he’s learning Rust](https://codecrafters.io/videos/pete).",

It has 56K+ GitHub stars. Most of the tokens generated on AnythingLLM go to on-device or open-source models. People aren’t just trying local AI here, they’re doing real work with it.\r\n\r\nThat open-source footprint feeds our enterprise business.

AnythingLLM desktop requires little or no setup and _just works_ out of the box, while also being highly customizable.\n\nAnythingLLM is also [open-source](https://github.com/anything-llm/anythingllm).\n\n—\n\n# The problem: Consumer AI needs to be the magic box\n\nThe problem is that there are no easy-to-use, privacy-preserving, and customizable desktop AI assistants for everyone. Many existing solutions are either too complex for a non-technical consumer, not privacy-minded, do not offer the needed customization for the consumer, or are point solutions - leaving the user to figure out how to connect the dots.\n\nWe figured out early on from our open-source \"Chat with your documents\" GitHub project that many consumers do not have a deep understanding of how AI works, nor should they have to just use any AI tool. They just want to chat with their documents or have a personal agent that can do things for them. They also want this to just work without having to setup a complex infrastructure. Starting a docker container, opening a term, or running a script is too high a technical barrier, but privacy is **non-negotiable**.\n\n# Our solution: AnythingLLM Desktop\n\nOur solution is AnythingLLM for desktop. It is an all-in-one desktop assistant that includes RAG, agents, embedding, and more all in one package. It is designed to be easy to use, privacy-preserving, and customizable. All of this is packaged in a way that is easy to understand and modify for even a consumer who only has a \"Newspaper headline\" understanding of AI could use it and get the outputs they were looking for without subscribing to a cloud service, installing any software, or having to setup any infrastructure.\n\nAnythingLLM Desktop is designed to be that magic box that just works.

We are also building AnythingLLM because we believe that the accessible consumer AI market is underserved and has too many technical hurdles. There are many great tools and projects, but piece-mealing them together is certainly not the ideal way for a consumer to experience AI or leverage it properly.\n\nWe also believe open-source LLMs will always be at par for consumer use cases, and adoption and integration of hardware into consumer devices will be commonplace. AnythingLLM will be able to leverage all of these advances as time goes on while remaining privacy-minded.\n\n# Our Asks\n\n[Today, we launched on Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/anythingllm) and are looking for feedback and support. We are also looking for feedback on what else we should add to AnythingLLM Desktop to really make it a one-stop shop for everyone to use.\n\nContact: [founders@mintplexlabs.com](https://mailto:founders@mintplexlabs.com) | Website: <https://anythingllm.com>",

        "body": "Hi everyone, we’re Faza, Gery, and Albert, aka the team behind Payable!\n\n### 👋 Team\n\nFaza, Gery, and Albert were classmates back in Bandung Institute of Technology, #1 engineering school in Indonesia. We have been friends for almost 7 years and in early 2022, we started building Payable.\n\nPreviously, Faza worked at BCG helping enterprises to build their own digital ventures. Gery worked at Shopee Singapore as a Tech Lead, building robust systems at scale handling >1 million QPS. He even managed two PhDs in his team even though he is a bachelor’s graduate. Albert worked at L’Oreal, the biggest beauty company in the world to set up their social commerce business in Indonesia and grew it by 10x.\n\nDuring his time in L’Oreal, Albert realized how effective it is when beauty advisers sell products directly in WhatsApp, but it’s also very apparent how bad the payment infrastructure is (non-existent, actually). This led us to realize how massive the problem is, and how uniquely qualified we are to help solve it.\n\n### **❌** Problem\n\nIn Indonesia, online commerce is a really big thing, but almost half of those don’t happen on e-commerce sites, but rather they happen on apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Line, etc. Here, the payment infrastructure is basically non-existent. Everyone is still using bank transfers which create a huge pain for sellers because they have to spend hours manually reconciling hundreds of transfers every day. This also hurts the buyer’s experience since they have a very limited range of payment options.\n\n### ⚡️ Meet Payable\n\nThere are actually a number of existing online payment solutions in Indonesia, but all of them are too expensive and too hard to use for these small and medium sellers, hence they are stuck to doing manual bank transfers. But with Payable, we’re providing them with an online payment infrastructure that is 6x cheaper and much easier to use compared to the existing solutions.\n\n### ⚙️ How it Works\n\nWith Payable, sellers can easily create payment links, and send it to their customers via WhatsApp, Instagram, or other chatting apps. Their buyers can open the link and pay with various payment methods. After the payment is done, the seller will instantly get a notification and it’s all reconciled automatically.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65481&key=user_uploads/205368/003301ce-766c-4f7c-a847-b056ad83f4ad)\n\n### 🙏 Our Ask\n\nIf you know anyone who is selling stuff through WhatsApp or Instagram in Indonesia, we’d love to learn about their use case! Please hit us up at [founders@payable.id](mailto:founders@payable.id)!",

        "body": "**TL:DR** [Blacktop Hoops](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2jBJ-Hnqp8) is a streetball-inspired multiplayer VR basketball game with the most natural basketball mechanics ever designed for virtual reality. It’s built for VR with plans for full cross-platform play across console, mobile, and desktop. \n\nHi we’re Nathan and Maciej, founders of [Vinci Games](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/blacktop-hoops-by-vinci-games) and developer of Blacktop Hoops. We’re building the first AAA single player and multiplayer basketball game for VR. It’s built with intuitive mechanics so you can shoot just like Steph Curry and dunk like Lebron James.\n\n### **Problem**\n\nOver the last decade sports games have been monopolized across all major platforms with an extremely limited selection of games for players. Games like NBA 2K, FIFA, and Madden release games each year with extremely poor user reviews and limited innovation. With the rapid growth of VR adoption, no true AAA competitive sports franchises exist on VR. \n\n**Solution** \n\nBlacktop Hoops is designed with ultra-natural mechanics which allow players to chain together flashy dribble tricks, shots, and high-flying dunks to finish off AI or real-world opponents in epic games of arcade basketball.\n\nWe’ve worked with pro streetball players and dunkers like [King Handles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkU86a4MUmo) and [Jordan Kilganon](https://www.instagram.com/jordankilganon/?hl=en) for mocap animations for the game so opponents feel realistic and respond dynamically to how you play.\n\nWe also brought on world-class voiceover talent including [Bobbito Garcia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbito_Garcia) (NBA Street), [Dante Basco](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm5o3NFV5OM) (Avatar the Last Airbender), and [Renee Montgomery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renee_Montgomery) (ex-WNBA Allstar).\n\n### **Founders Backstory**\n\nLast year we had a crazy idea: could you build a VR basketball game that felt as natural as playing in real life? I spent my entire life playing basketball and previously worked at Oculus and Unity. Our CTO Maciej had spent 18 years at CD Projekt RED as the lead game designer on Witcher 1 - 3. Early last year we spent two months building a prototype of a VR streetball game. After we released it on Reddit, it hit the frontpage of every major VR subreddit including /r/Gaming, /r/Virtualreality /r/Oculus, /r/SteamVR, /r/PSVR, and /r/Playstation. From that point we knew we were onto something big.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\n1. Download and play **Blacktop Hoops - Alpha** on Quest or Steam. Share your feedback with us at [founders@vinci-games.com](mailto:founders@vinci-games.com). \n   1. [**Play on Oculus**](https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/4416817901687071/) or [**Play on Steam**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1945250/Blacktop_Hoops/)\n2. For **Investors** shoot us an email at [founders@vinci-games.com](mailto:founders@vinci-games.com).\n3.

Investors love this opportunity, but **it’s impossible to predict if a studio’s next title will be popular**, make money back or land well. \\\n\\\nGames are expensive to make and are inconsistently successful.\\\n**This is called hit based risk, or as we dubbed it ‘hit-risk’**\n\n### 🤔 **Why Roblox?**\n\n**There will always be at least one popular platform people make games for**. At the moment, it’s Roblox with a 2bn$ market and over 200mm MAU. We’re also deeply familiar with the platform, having **previously built an agency that grossed 500k$ of revenue in 6 mo** and partnered with brands including Unilever.\n\n### 🔎 **The Insight**\n\nIndie game developers **have a tendency to never finish projects they start.** After doing the fun parts like the game loop, closing out the game for release is often too difficult, boring and resource intensive. Every game developer (on Roblox) that we know has  at least 2 unfinished or abandoned projects.\\\n\\\n**There are 10 million developers registered on Roblox in comparison to 44k on Steam.** Compared to the years AAA takes to produce one title (or 6-18 months in mobile), **on Roblox the average time to develop a game can be as little as 2-3 months.**\n\n### 🎉 **There's a Solution!**\n\nWe work with these unfinished/abandoned games and we’re able to acquire/ receive **a share of these projects**, while **partnering with the original developer** who is usually **glad to work together** just to see their vision come to life.\n\nThis gives us a much bigger market of unfinished games to acquire and mass **produce for faster and cheaper.** Meanwhile, the original developer gets to make money back from their idea at a fraction of the time and effort.\\\n\\\nEffectively - it’s the revenue of gaming with the predictability of B2B SaaS!\n\n### 🤯 **What next?**\n\nOnce at least a game takes off, it **proves the validity of it’s idea.** Then we can dedicate larger, longterm resources and grow the game’s IP exponentially, turning it into a **multimedia franchise (movies, toys, etc) building more revenue streams beyond the game.**\n\n### 📊 **Our Stats & Games:**\n\n* **51,828,645** total play sessions\n* **84.6%** average like ratio\n* **497,554,992** hours of engagement (#roadto1B)\n* **190,608** daily active users\n* **331,595** favourites\n* **4** original games\n* **3** brand partnership games\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65554&key=user_uploads/1016774/a3806f6e-88a8-4d52-b9d5-a7e31b799d62)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65554&key=user_uploads/1016774/3f72a0a1-34b7-4448-9df1-77b690ad92b5)\n\nThanks so much! \\\n[tom@roforco.com](mailto:tom@roforco.com)\\\n[roforco.com](http://roforco.com)",

We want to leverage short-form video & Live streaming to create a new buyer & seller experience.\n\n* Live streaming is a game changer in secondhand fashion. Connecting with an audience in real time, answering all questions at once and selling to the highest bidder is the most effective way to move inventories - way more than managing static listings for months. It is also a unique compelling experience for the buyer.\n* Short videos have become one of the most powerful means for discovery in fashion. We developed a social Feed where our community can share inspiration, styling tips, outfits, etc. This is a place for users to find their next fashion ideas and creators to get known.\n\n### 👋 **Meet the Jamble Team**\n\nWe’re 3 French founders 🇫🇷, we grew up in the same Parisian district and have a longstanding relationship together. We’re all experienced resellers - Aymar and Louis used to run an online vintage shop together while Jeremy is a crazy sneakerhead. We started in France in 2021 before relocating to the US.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65291&key=user_uploads/998576/fd6e0c77-e586-4688-ad49-32afe8e03af6)\n\n### 📱**How can I try Jamble out?**\n\nWe launched a couple of month ago on iOS and you can download the App here 👉\n\n<https://apple.co/3Pfwran>\n\n### **☎️ Contact Us**\n\nFeel free to say hi!\n\n[aymar@jambleapp.com](mailto:aymar@jambleapp.com)\n\n[louis@jambleapp.com](mailto:louis@jambleapp.com)\n\n[jeremy@jambleapp.com](mailto:jeremy@jambleapp.com)",

        "body": "Hi everyone! We’re the team behind [Rubbrband](https://rubbrband.com/). We’re building a highly controllable way to generate images.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbkMARYxdBI>\n\n**Problem:**\n\nGenerating images in your own unique style is difficult with the current AI tools. Creatives want specific controls over aspects of an image, like the color palette, as well as control over which model they’re using to generate images.\n\nAdditionally, consistently reproducing that style is difficult because AI models don’t have the ability to remember past interactions and preferences. This makes it hard for artists and designers to achieve their desired results repeatedly.\n\n**Solution:**\n\n**Rubbrband Workflows** allow creatives to design steps for generating images repeatably.\n\nBy setting up a workflow, you can define a sequence of steps that produce consistent results. This ensures that every image generated follows your specific style and preferences, eliminating the variability often encountered with other AI tools.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81865&key=user_uploads/270510/aa30399b-e4ee-4f76-b0db-35c223885eb4)\n\nRubbrband offers the following features:\n\n* 🎨 **Highly controllable**: Enjoy detailed control over color palettes, reference images, and other controls.\n* 🖼️ **Access to thousands of models**: Utilize any CivitAI checkpoint or LORA for your image generation needs.\n* 💡 **Smart Prompting**: Get suggestions for image styles in your prompts to enhance your creative process.\n* 🧩 **Extensive Node Library**: Access over 20 nodes, including SD, ControlNet, Masking nodes, GPT-4, and more.\n* 🛠️ **Simplified Playground Interface**: Use workflows in an intuitive, easy-to-navigate Playground page.\n* 🌐 **Community Sharing**: Share your workflows and discover others’ creations on the Community page.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81865&key=user_uploads/270510/aeb2f636-44ce-4e58-85fe-11d9a903513b)\n\nRubbrband is available to use [here](https://rubbrband.com)! \n\nWe would love to hear your feedback!

        "body": "### **What is Rubbrband?**\n\nRubbrband is a CLI tool that enables developers to rapidly experiment with and train the latest open-source ML models. For example, Rubbrband allows you to fine-tune your own version of Dreambooth’s Stable Diffusion in just 1 line of code:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69806&key=user_uploads/270510/85f6ebcc-2d0f-49ce-adb9-e2dbb7c23253)\n\n### **Who are we?**\n\nWe’re college roommates who met at orientation at UC Berkeley. Together we grappled with open-source ML projects that were very difficult to set up (due to CUDA and python dependency conflicts), and even more difficult to apply on our specific research problem. While the state-of-the-art looked magical, it always seemed to be out of reach.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69806&key=user_uploads/270510/8cdbfa6d-330c-459f-8d00-c6983ab47480)\n\n**Jeremy** (Left) - Former ML researcher at CNMAT at UC Berkeley.\n\n**Darren** (Middle) - Former ML researcher at UC Berkeley focused on MRI.\n\n**Abhinav** (Right) - Former RL/ML researcher at Berkeley AI Research Lab.\n\n### **The problem**\n\nThere’s a deluge of breakthroughs in Machine Learning every week.\n\nHowever, it’s extremely challenging for developers to leverage these open-source works to solve their own problems. _This is primarily due to the fact that researchers and ML developers optimize for development velocity, and not for reproducibility or extendibility._\n\nAs a result, the entire Machine Learning space seems to be held together with duct tape, as people throw together undocumented scripts to start training runs, which always seem to break one week later.\n\n### **The solution**\n\nWith Rubbrband, **we want to bring a world-class experience to training ML models**. By creating a simple Python library that abstracts away training environments (CUDA drivers, pip dependencies, and C libraries), and exposing a few commands of interest, _developers will be able to rapidly experiment with the bleeding edge in Machine Learning_. By doing so, developers will be able to solve hard problems that otherwise may have remained unsolved.\n\n### Our ask\n\n[Check out our open-source project, and give it a star! ⭐️](https://github.com/rubbrband/rubbrband)",

He spent the last 4 years as a Product Manager at Facebook where he patented half a dozen AI technologies. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Cornell University.\n\n[**Jason Goodison**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonlevigoodison/) **(CTO)** is a Software Engineer and [Tech YouTuber](https://www.youtube.com/@JasonGoodison) with 138k subscribers. Before YC, he worked at Microsoft for 3 years and graduated with distinction from the University of Waterloo.\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\n**The average completion rate for online courses is below 9%** because they are not designed for our short attention spans. Oftentimes courses are 20+ hours of content, but only contain 1-2 hours of actionable insights. Students don't want to consume long-winded lectures.\n\n**Today’s generation wants to learn from their favorite creators!** We asked over a hundred top creators what was holding them back from creating a course. The top cited reasons were:\n\n1. The time commitment required to script and film a traditional video course\n2. Not knowing where to start and how to effectively monetize a course\n3. Worries about piracy of video-on-demand courses\n4. Not being able to coach each student to the extent they’d like because their time doesn’t scale\n\n \n\nCourses allow creators massive monetization potential without dependence on advertisers; however, **many of the best creators are deterred from selling information products altogether because no platform today fits their needs.**\n\n## **✨ Our Solution**\n\n[**Pair**](https://www.pairai.com/) **is the first mobile video course platform built by creators, for creators.** We are removing all the barriers holding creators back from launching information products.\n\n**Our platform is specifically designed for structured learning through shorter**\\-**form video** with our average video length being about 5 minutes. We pride ourselves on offering more actionable insights through 2 hours of total video than traditional courses provide in 20 hours. Not only is this a much better experience for students, but it also lowers the burden on creators to launch their courses. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69766&key=user_uploads/1052399/1dddeb6d-e65d-4066-9654-71ce177db429)\n\n**Unlike other platforms, we only make money when our creators make money.** Creators keep a generous 90% of sales and we take 10%. With this alignment of incentives, our product roadmap prioritizes helping course creators maximize their long-term revenue above all else. Our out-of-box white label solution optimizes specifically for course sales and helps any creator seamlessly launch their course and craft a world-class sales funnel. We have handcrafted this experience after spending the last 4 years launching multiple 7 figure courses ourselves.  \n\n**Our platform also allows any creator or educator access to powerful engagement tools like streaks, badges, and leaderboards** to create daily habit and build a lucrative and retentive content business. These tools were previously reserved for unicorn companies like Duolingo, Calm, and Headspace with large in-house engineering teams until we decided to democratize them 🙂\n\n**Pair also offers robust tooling to prevent ripping of your content** and to actively search for and file takedown requests on the off chance piracy does occur. As course creators ourselves, we know firsthand how terrifying piracy is.

        "body": "### TL;DR: Credit card processing fees are outrageous, and credit card declines account for nearly half of all subscription churn — we're solving these problems once and for all. coil allows you to seamlessly accept bank payments from customers with a simple experience they'll actually use — no account, routing, or microdeposits needed.\n\n# The Problems\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69567&key=user_uploads/82730/36640ff2-f625-49d1-93b1-b7fc00187466)\n\n### 📉 Delinquent Churn\n\nIf you rely on credit cards for your subscription payments, you’re probably familiar with churn from credit card declines. Recurring credit card charges are declined [15% of the time](https://www.chargebee.com/blog/making-sense-credit-card-declines/#:\\~:text=According%20to%20Visa%20and%20Mastercard,card%20machines%20of%20the%20web.) and account for [48% of churn](https://www.pymnts.com/subscriptions/2021/almost-half-of-subscription-churn-caused-by-preventable-friction-in-failed-payments/), making them the single largest source of churn for most subscription businesses.\n\n### 💸 Processing Fees\n\nAmerican businesses spent over [$138B on credit card processing fees](https://nilsonreport.com/mention/1586/1link/) last year, which is only growing. With Visa and Mastercard controlling more than 70% of the market, they have no incentive to reduce these fees themselves. This is especially painful for businesses that sell high-ticket items or operate on low margins, where every single percentage point can move the needle.\n\n# Our Solution\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69567&key=user_uploads/82730/6478a091-1af2-4a1c-b14f-1660f235b380)\n\ncoil tackles both of these problems by getting to the root of the issue: credit cards. We’re building a new, seamless experience to help you collect payments via bank transfer (ACH/RTP) instead of credit cards and handling all of the complexity behind the scenes.\n\nOur first product is a “Pay with coil” button that can be added directly to your pre-existing checkout flow for one-off or subscription payments. When a customer uses coil for the very first time, they’ll securely link their bank through Plaid. Afterward, they can verify their identity through an SMS or Email verification code, allowing authenticated payments in seconds. You can checkout the returning flow here:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69567&key=user_uploads/82730/f090bdc8-de04-437a-a8a6-daf8abc36a06)\n\nThis is already a huge improvement over today’s ACH experience, and we’re just getting started. Over the coming months and years, we’ll continue to flesh out the scenarios and integrations necessary to become the default payment method for a post-credit card world.\n\n# Asks\n\n* Reach out if you're looking to reduce your processing fees or eradicate churn from credit card declines — all YC companies will receive priority onboarding.\n* Share with anyone you think might be interested in moving past cards to reduce fees & churn.\n\nYou can reach us at [founders@trycoil.com](mailto:founders@trycoil.com)",

        "body": "Hey all, I’m Josh, Co-Founder of Overlord, with my friend Eddie. We’re aiming to build the Holy Grail of productivity apps - an AI agent to replace self-control.\n\nHere’s our landing page: [www.overlord.app](http://www.overlord.app)\n\nHere’s the link if you want to chat with it: [chat.overlord.app](http://chat.overlord.app)\n\nImagine you hired someone to stay awake 24/7, sat behind a big computer screen, monitoring you - knowing where you are (GPS), what website you’re on (Mac integration), what you spend money on. They can take actions: texting/calling you, charging you money, blocking your iOS/Android apps, blocking websites on your Mac, texting friends if you’ve fallen off the wagon.\n\nOverlord has been in a closed beta for about a year, and has had hundreds of thousands of messages sent to it by users. It’s specifically meant to be weasel-proof, so we’ve put a lot of effort into making sure there are no easy workarounds. Our target users are the type of people that have their friends manage their Screen Time passcodes, and have web blockers all over their Mac.\n\nHere are a few examples of what Overlord can do:\n\n* **Staying sober:** “Send a video blowing 0.00 on a breathalyser each night at 11pm, or text Jane: “John has skipped his evening check-in. Ensure he’s not relapsed”.”\n* **Undistracted on Mac:** “Lock me in from 9-5 each day on my Mac. Annoy me if I go on anything unrelated to work, and block if I go on any rabbit holes. Work is anything coding related.”\n* **Not skipping cardio:** “When I enter the gym, make sure I send a photo of 10 mins cardio, or charge me $5\".”\n* **My personal screen block:** “Block Instagram at all times, allowing me 1 min an hour, 15 mins if I send a photo of a meal, and unblock on Friday/Saturday nights from 7pm-4am. Charge me $50 if I disable Screen Time Permissions.”\n* **Mac productivity to co-founder:** “Track my Mac. Send a text to my co-founder of my total productive time each day at 11pm.”\n* **Showering after gym:** “When i get home from the gym, make sure I send a selfie if my hair wet within 30 mins or lose $5”\n\n**_No processed food:_** “Each time I spend money at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, make sure I send a receipt (with the exact amount spent to ensure I’m not cheating) and it must not have anything processed on it. Also no purchases from any dollar pizza store. If I do, charge me $50.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Cr1A0j6LBec\n\n**_Morning routine w/ screen blocking + charging:_**\\_ “Call me to wake me up at 7am, and block my apps at this point. I must send a photo of my fridge at 7:05, a video brushing teeth by 7:10, a photo of a coffee by 7:20, and a photo outside by 7:30 (unblock my phone at this point). If I miss any of these, call me, then if I am not telling you I’m taking action on the phone, charge me $1.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/TVSTbu3jwKA\n\n**_Getting to work immediately:_**\\_ “Once I arrive at the office, I must start a 2hr focus session on my Mac within 15 minutes. If I exit this, or spend more than 10 mins distracted or inactive total, charge me $5 and text my co-founder that I’m distracted. Block all distracting sites.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/I0NvyW7RQYM\n\n**Asks:**\n\n1. Give it a go at [chat.overlord.app](http://chat.overlord.app) ! See if any goals you can set up with it would be useful to you. No login required.\n2. Comment down below if there are any goals/capabilities you’d like to see - there’s a bit of a learning curve to Overlord, but it can be extremely powerful once you get the hang of it.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=96453&key=user_uploads/254744/79482180-f44e-41da-8397-d2cd197eec85)\n\n\nHappy New Year!\n\nJosh",

        "body": "# TLDR: Storyboarder is a tool and platform that enables anyone to create, buy, and sell webcomics. Over 650,000 users have used Storyboarder to make movies like Black Panther, Cruella, I Tonya, and Modern Family — and now we're expanding to webcomics.\n\nHi Everyone! We’re [Charles Forman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iminlikewithyou/) and [Joe Watkins](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-watkins-06925295/), the founders of [Storyboarder](https://storyboarder.com/).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69867&key=user_uploads/73262/1d6bac9f-7694-4132-b0e9-b6f55630014f)\n\nIf you have an idea for a story, you can use Storyboarder to tell it by adding characters to a scene and typing in dialogue - the tool will automatically generate the shots you need to tell your story. You can post episodes of your story to the platform as part of a series, and other people can buy the episodes to read them.\n\n## 🤬 **Currently, it’s too hard to make webcomics - You have to be able to draw!**\n\nIn East Asia, the webcomic (or digital manga) industry is a $12B market - and it’s rapidly growing to the rest of the world. People are addicted to reading webcomics. For example, the largest company in the space, Webtoon, has 100M MAU and generates $1.2B in annual revenue. The problem is that the variety and appeal of webcomics is constrained by the number of webcomic artists - you need to know how to draw to make a webcomic.\n\n## 💜 **We make it easy for anyone to make webcomics!**\n\nStoryboarder is a 3D scene editor. You pick a scene. You add characters. You type in what they say. Storyboarder makes the panels for you, and then you can edit them as much as you want. We have a world class rendering system, so everything ends up looking absolutely beautiful!\n\nStoryboarder is also a platform for posting your comics as episodes in series. After your readers read 5 of your episodes, they can pay the equivalent of 20 cents to read additional episodes.\n\n## 🧔🧔‍♂️ **Why are we building this?**\n\nI, (Charles), was working on making a movie. I wanted the story to be good, but I had no experience. Pixar uses storyboarding as a tool to iterate on their stories. They can see each version of their movie and rapidly iterate on it. Being the creative / engineer that I am, I made a storyboarding tool so I could create storyboards without having to draw. I released the tool, Storyboarder, and 700K people use it to storyboard movies and tv shows like Black Panther, Cruella, I, Tonya, and Modern Family.\n\nWe were ready to start shooting my movie in March of 2020 - then the pandemic hit. We realized we wouldn’t be able to make the movie. So I focused on Storyboarder. Working with some of the best writers, directors, and storyboard artists in the world, I saw a bunch of fantastic storyboards for movies that would never be filmed. They were cancelled because of covid. I realized that there are tons of stories that never see the light of day because they can’t get made into movies.\n\nBeing depressed about COVID, I spent time on Clubhouse, where I met my cofounder Joe. We talked a lot about the world of online fiction and webcomics and how it relates to storyboarding. We learned that Webtoon is huge and makes tons of money, but very few of their stories appeal to us, or many people I know. Webtoon creators are a particular type of person that need to know how to draw.\n\nI used to make videogames. I started OMGPOP (YC06). We built 35 games and a game called “Draw Something” We sold the company for $200M. Joe was running a team of ML engineers at Google and worked on computer vision at Waymo. So we thought we could combine forces to build the next generation of storytelling with online 3D tech, game tech, and AI.\n\nJoe and I thought, what if we make a tool where anyone can make webcomics without having to draw? The stories created would appeal to so many more people. We did the math: 3 out of 10 Americans buy e-books: 100M people X $12 (ARPPU on Webtoon). That’s $1.2B. 10X Globally: $12B!\n\n## **Checks all the boxes:**\n\n✅ **Making stories is important and fun!** \\\n✅ **Huge Market: $12B.** \\\n✅ **Built in 650K Users.** \\\n✅ **Previous YC06 videogame company with success: $200M Exit.** **\\#29 Top YC Exit.**\\\n✅ **Investors include**: David Karp (**Tumblr Founder**), Andrew Kortina (**Venmo Founder**), **Jonathan Glick** (NYT), **Andy Artz** (Best man in the world), other top secret celebs and good looking rich people.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69867&key=user_uploads/73262/c4ddcafc-e38e-49f9-8259-b90af30cfb5c)\n\n_Various gingers: Laura (Joe’s partner), Joe, some freakishly tall guy, and Charles._\n\n### **The Ask:**\n\n🚀 Do you want in on this rocket ship?

KURUKURU is a 3D engine in the browser to allow every storyteller to create, publish and monetize comics.\n\nThis is a page of a comics story (aka webtoon, manga, manhwa)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70027&key=user_uploads/1139029/ddde28f5-c960-4ffb-a7ef-8a421be9b6a3)\n\nCreated with KURUKURU\n\n**Reality:**\n\nWebcomic platforms like Webtoon generate $1.2B+ in ARR from comics sales, engaging 90M+ monthly active readers. Tapas, a webcomics platform, was sold for $550M. Over 2B people watch anime globally, and the total market cap of anime, webtoon and comics is $47.3B in 2022.\n\nCurrently, creators make comics by drawing, which requires art skills and is incredibly labor intensive and time consuming.\n\n**Solution:**\n\nDemo: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tie8VSk3iPY>\n\nKURUKURU is an all-in-one 3D engine and platform that enables every storyteller to create, publish and monetize comics. By uploading or generating characters, posing panels, and applying stylized filters, anyone can make comics in minutes, not hours.\n\n**👧🏻 Optimized for comics storytelling.** Characters take up >90% of panel areas. KURUKURU offers easy and detailed control of characters to express those \\~feelings\\~.\n\n**🖼️ Making art in clicks.** Creators want panels that look like hand-drawn art, not photorealism as in traditional 3D engines. KURUKURU has proprietary filters to render webtoon, manga, and comics styles (w/ provisional patent pending), in addition to continuous integration with generative AI.\n\n[**🔮**](https://emojipedia.org/crystal-ball/)**User generated content + oceans of assets.** Comics creation is art asset heavy: character poses, props, backgrounds. KURUKURU offers massive amounts of native assets, and encourages creators to upload, share and trade.\n\n**🧙‍♀️Character generation.** Working with the 3D art teams behind games like Genshin Impact and Onmyoji, we’re building powerful character generation tools with a variety of aesthetics that Gen Z and Gen Alpha love.\n\n[**🚀**](https://emojipedia.org/rocket/)**Share everything through a link**. Collaborate in realtime.\n\n[**💰**](https://emojipedia.org/money-bag/)**Helping creators from distribution to monetization.** Comics creation is a whole journey, and creators need so much more help and support than a great tool!\n\n**Who are we?**\n\nTwo frens who like to draw and write ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶…⋆ฺ\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70027&key=user_uploads/1139029/278f04cb-2d65-4557-a5dd-e6b13ef2be2a)\n\nFengjiao has had a fascination with visual storytelling her whole life. In college she wrote and created several animated films, some of which went viral. A veteran from MIT Media Lab, Adobe and Vimeo, she made algorithms on generative animation and AI.\n\nIn 2019, she co-created a webcomics series, 少女，香草，及其他易燃物 (Girl, Herbs and Other Inflammable Objects), which was accepted to Dongman, a Chinese webcomics platform. Trying everything out there to get her comics done, Fengjiao developed deep insights in the comics creation process, from story to art, and saw the total vacancy of advanced technology in this space.\n\nIn 2022, she teamed up with Yiping, a fellow creative, and financial engineering guru, who developed large-scale trading systems for SMBC Capital Markets, & former analyst at Alliance Bernstein since graduating from Columbia University. In their bedrooms, the two concocted the first prototype of KURUKURU. In 6 months, KURUKURU landed in the hands of the first cohort of creators that the founders befriended on Reddit.\n\nWe are fortunate to be backed by supportive investors and experts in the field, including YC, Joi Ito and Louis Kang @ GMJP, Ben Casnocha, Amrit Rao and Anne Dwane @ Village Global, Habib Haddad and Calvin Chin @ E14. Our founding advisor [Peter Dolch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterdolch/) orchestrated content systems & warehouses for HP, Merriam Webster and AT&T, and has been a strategic advisor to numerous startups including WOMP and Gentle Beast.\n\n**Ask**\n\nTell your friends/cousins who love comics, manga, animation, anime, visual storytelling … about us.

We infuse AI agents into the game development process, starting at QA all the way to player simulation.\n\n**Trailer**: [ ](https://youtu.be/ZezZjkuY75M)\n\n### The Problem\n\nIn the gaming industry, quality assurance is a critical yet often labor-intensive process. One among many. Studios invest countless hours in testing games for bugs, balancing gameplay, and ensuring a smooth player experience. The repetitive and manual nature of these tasks not only strains resources but can also lead to missed opportunities for innovation and improvement. Releasing unfished or undertested games is one of the largest pain points in the industry.\n\n### The Solution\n\nAt [nunu.ai](http://nunu.ai/), we've developed multimodal AI agents that revolutionize the way game studios approach these challenges. Our AI agents are designed to automate and enhance various aspects of game development, starting with quality assurance. These agents are capable of playing games, reasoning, and adapting, all while providing valuable insights and feedback. With minimal adjustments, our AI can adapt to any game, offering interpretability and interactability unprecedented in the industry.\n\n### Why Now\n\nIn short: Large Multimodal Models. Here is why:\n\n1. Generalizability: Unlike other systems, our AI requires minimal retraining and can adapt to any game instantly.\n2. Interpretability: Our agents can explain their actions and decisions, similar to interacting with a human player. They're capable of generating detailed reports on their observations.\n3. Interactability: Studios can interact with our AI in real-time, altering tasks, and engaging in dialogue to gain deeper insights.\n\n### Our Ask\n\n* If you know any game studio that benefits from our AI agents, please intro us.\n* We want to be seen, if you like our progress share it with people 🙂 Here is our launch tweet.",

Here’s how it generally works:\n\n1. You tell Clearspace what apps/websites you want to use less\n2. Clearspace requires you to do **_something_** to unlock them\n\nThis turns out to be incredibly effective for habit change - we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of users, most cut their screen time in half permanently by adding a time buffer before using their addicting apps.\n\n**Today we’re rolling out a new mode within Clearspace, one that requires you to do pushups to unlock your apps.** Every pushup you do earns a minute of scrolling, which you can use now or save for later.\n\nAlong the way we’re pretty sure we built the best pushup detection in the world. Here’s what it looks like\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80566&key=user_uploads/115827/acf3d5aa-ea6a-4570-a44e-9d6b5d3dc38e)\n\nWhy we built this:\n\nChanging our habits requires changing our environment. And even though we’re spending more of our lives online, our tools for changing our digital environments are _incredibly_ limited. That’s where we come in. We’ll help you set up a digital environment that is aligned with your goals rather than big tech’s bottom line.\n\nSome ways we allow you to create your ideal digital environment:\n\n* Create scheduled windows where you can freely access apps, (or they’re blocked entirely)\n* Write notes to yourself that you’ll see before every app open\n* Build your streak each day you stay under your scrolling budget\n* Add accountability partners who get notified if you break your budget or delete Clearspace.\n* Turn off social feeds entirely on the web\n* Walk or run to open your apps (as measured by Apple Health)\n\nGet started on iOS [here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clearspace-reduce-screen-time/id1572515807)",

We enable creators to quickly generate music videos or B-roll that matches their content.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69403&key=user_uploads/1216864/cd976d12-1661-4738-9eea-fa5bcbb70c0e)\n\n# 😓 **Problem**\n\nContent creators often have audio content (music, podcast, etc.) that struggles with engagement on video platforms like Youtube, Tiktok, and Instagram. They want to use AI video generation to create a compelling visual pair for their content, but existing solutions are not accessible. A combination of costly hardware requirements, programming knowledge, and constant research upkeep prevents them from using the technology.  \n\n# **💡 Solution**\n\nDecoherence is an intuitive, no-setup application to create all of your generative videos. It gives creators the ability to work at 10x the speed: quickly generating B-roll content or animating their music in minutes rather than days. It works by analyzing structure in generated images, converting audio signals into motion effects, applying them over time, and stitching images together to make a full video. \n\nSee the full [product demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDlAyyQDuw8):\n\n# **🤖→🎨 Why us?**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69403&key=user_uploads/1216864/f497f999-d57d-4287-9c12-2e3e7f8d7a78)\n\nWe are engineers with experience bringing bleeding-edge technology, autonomous vehicles and next-gen internet satellites, into production at a global scale. \n\nWe met at Amazon Robotics where we shared a deep appreciation for robotics because it was **software that _literally_ moves**. In early 2022, we found a similar spark when we typed in a few words and received back beautiful images from AI image generators. We think things are always more fun when they **move**, so we applied our background in computer vision to bring the images to life in the form of video. \n\nWe learned to turn tech demos and research into products used by thousands at Amazon. We’re applying that experience to Decoherence by building a product that anybody can pick up and use. \n\n# **🙌 Ask**\n\n**Interested in creating video?** Shoot us an email at \\\n[getaccess@decohere.ai](mailto:getaccess@decoherence.co), and mention “**YC Launch**”! We will bump you up the waitlist!\n\n**We are looking to chat with content creators!** If you know any that may be interested in a tool like this, we would appreciate an introduction.

        "body": "# TL;DR\n\nHi there! We’re Rangel and Ahmad and today we’re excited to be launching [the Drop on Kickstarter. The Drop is our wearable AI pendant and app](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rangel/the-drop-fully-automated-nutrition-tracker) that automatically tracks what you eat throughout the day. \n\n[Watch the launch video here!](https://youtu.be/wa0rATqlnQU)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86073&key=user_uploads/635063/1041e0f0-9ce8-42e6-ad9e-885502231d89)\n\n# How it works\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86073&key=user_uploads/635063/356232f6-9e59-4216-afa8-b0f7c808b541)\n\n[The Drop](https://www.getdrop.ai) uses **computer vision and AI** to know when you're eating food. Once the smart AI chip on the device classifies something as food, the LED light turns on and the device starts recording what you're eating. Afterwards, the cropped image of the meal will be sent to the cloud for analysis. The algorithms will then break down your meal into **calories, protein, carbs and fats**, which you could see right away in the app on your phone.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86073&key=user_uploads/635063/3d7365f6-f033-44b4-9867-59268af954c8)\n\n# Why are we building this?\n\nWe launched [Rex Nutribot on WhatsApp](https://www.rex.fit) in December 2023. We made calorie tracking as simple as sending a photo or a text to a friend. More than 20,000 users later, we learned that nutrition tracking is still not a solved problem. Every solution on the market requires **too much input from the user**, and most don't manage to create the habit to track what they eat. \n\nA real solution needs to be as **user-friendly and intuitive** as fitness tracking is. It needs to be a wearable that you can just put on in the morning and forget about. For that reason we developed The Drop: the first fully automated nutrition tracker.\n\nBy fully automating meal tracking we want to **enable everyone to learn what and how much they eat**, understand their eating habits and transform their diet to optimize for health and longevity.\n\n# The team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86073&key=user_uploads/635063/79e0e320-e8ee-4934-a7e1-0a4e5ebb6627)\n\nOur core team consists of Harvard and ETH Zurich engineers and we are backed by two of the largest and most well-known incubators: [Y Combinator](https://ycombinator.com) and [Entrepreneur First](https://www.joinef.com). Our co-founder and CTO, [Ahmad](https://www.rex.fit/contacts/ahmad), is a computer vision engineer who previously worked in autonomous retail with a Masters in Robotics from ETH Zurich, and our co-founder and CEO, [Rangel](https://www.rex.fit/contacts/rangel), is an AI engineer who graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard. We met at Entrepreneur First in Paris in 2022 and have been working together since. \n\n# Get the Drop\n\nYou can find more information and [pre-order the Drop by backing us on Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rangel/the-drop-fully-automated-nutrition-tracker). Pricing starts at **199 USD** and it is available in **3 colors**: carbon black, metallic blue and gold. Early adopters and beta testers will start receiving their devices in the summer. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86073&key=user_uploads/635063/bc268686-845b-4419-9d5c-ee88333bc390)\n\n",

Setting up that infrastructure takes away precious time and money. You need a standard for logging your data so that you know how your models perform. **Babylog (bah-bee-log) provides a standard where all device, model, and prediction information are coupled.**\n\n* If you don’t have a data stream from production, you have no idea what your models are seeing and no way to evaluate their performance.\n* If something suddenly changes in the real world and with it the distribution of your inputs, things could go very wrong so you’d likely want to know (i.e. stop signs suddenly turning blue = Tesla becoming a murder machine)\n\n## Our asks\n\n* [**Go check us out on GitHub and don’t forget to star us ⭐.**](https://github.com/thebabylonai/babylog)\n* Check out our [website](https://www.babylonai.dev), and play with our library and mock dashboard.\n* If you’re interested, have feedback or criticism, or think we should talk to someone, please either:\n  * schedule a chat with us: <https://superpowered.me/rangel>\n  * shoot us an email at [founders@babylonai.dev](mailto:founders@babylonai.dev)",

        "body": "Hi there –\n\n[Stew](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stew-fortier/) and [Stefan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanli/) here. We're building Type.ai.\n\nType.ai is an [AI writing tool](https://type.ai). We help marketers and creators write high-quality content remarkably fast.\n\nType makes it effortless to access the most powerful capabilities of today’s large language models. Type’s AI can instantly generate and transform any text – it picks up on your intent and the context of your document as you write.\n\nWe’d love to give you early access [here](https://type.ai/).\n\n## The problem\n\nCompanies spend billions of dollars on content marketing each year, but creating great content is hard. Finding compelling ideas and articulating them in a way that will resonate with an audience requires constant experimentation and iteration.\n\nAI will radically reduce this friction by making it easier to generate and refine ideas, but it's still hard to get today’s large language models to give you what you need.\n\nYou must either become a “prompt engineer” or use AI writing tools with rigid, template-based interfaces that constrain creativity and produce mediocre content.\n\n### The solution\n\nWe've built a flexible, fast document editor that lets a user quickly surface powerful AI commands by hitting cmd + k as they write.\n\nType’s AI commands help with the slowest parts of writing, from generating drafts to rewriting content to suggesting what to create next.\n\nThe more you write, the better Type’s suggestions get. Type’s AI understands the context of a document – it can generate or transform text quickly and accurately. \n\nWe combine the flexibility of a product like ChatGPT with a powerful document editor. The result: Type is fun to write in!\n\n### The founders\n\nWe started building this because we were surprised nobody else had. Writing is not a “one-shot” activity! You need a flexible canvas for refining your ideas as you write.\n\n[Stew](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stew-fortier/) (CEO) is an entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for writing. [Stefan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanli/) (CTO) is a software engineer with previous experience building advanced document editors.\n\n### Start writing with Type\n\nIf you are planning to write a bunch this year, please drop your info below and we will send you an invite ASAP:\n\n👉 [Request an invite](https://type.ai/)\n\nThanks!\n\nStew & Stefan",

        "body": "Hi, everyone!\n\nStew and Dan here from [Foster](https://foster.co/).\n\nFoster is a button that lives inside Google Docs. Writers can tap it to get collaborative support on their writing within 24 hours.\n\nBehind the scenes, we’ve built a collective of writers, editors, and experts who love jumping into first drafts and helping improve them.\n\nFoster contributors do much more than spot a missing comma; they can give you ideas on how to make a story funnier or how to make an argument air-tight.\n\n### **Quality writing wins**\n\n**Writing on the Internet follows a power law.** The _best_ piece of writing on a topic tends to have an exponentially larger impact than the average piece.\n\n**But writing great stuff is hard.** Most writers publish into the void, hoping for constructive feedback that never comes.\n\n### **We help writers and content teams produce better writing**\n\nFoster’s [Chrome extension](https://foster.co) lets anyone summon editors and experts to appear directly inside of their work and help them produce something great.\n\nAll drafts on Foster are privately routed to vetted contributors who we believe will be able to push them forward.\n\nMost automated writing and grammar tools can only catch relatively minor errors. We’re focused on what we consider to be the harder part of the process: how do you turn a rough draft into something timeless?\n\n### **Foster is easy to use**\n\nWriters never have to leave Google Docs to use Foster.\n\nHere’s what the process looks like:\n\n1. Write.\n2. Share the draft with Foster.\n3. Receive constructive suggestions.\n4. Rewrite and incorporate the best feedback.\n5. Publish.\n\n### **Writers love it**\n\nThe most common word we hear from our early users is “[Amazing](https://share.cleanshot.com/NNMuxM).”\n\nCoincidentally, many of our early users are YC founders or Hacker News regulars. Both of these drafts were sent through Foster prior to being submitted to HN: [We need a middle class for startups](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31327219),  [What's the Future of IDEs?](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29304667)\n\nAnd while it’s exciting to see individual pieces improve, many writers tell us that using Foster has elevated their writing skills generally ([Tweet](https://twitter.com/tomcritchlow/status/1535404631123173376)) and motivated them to write more ([Tweet](https://twitter.com/liuxi/status/1511191555796729862)).\n\n### **We’re ready to support your writing**\n\nToday, we’re ready to help everyone produce better writing.\n\n**You can sign up for one of our new plans and get high-quality support on your next draft here:**\n\n<https://foster.co>\n\nYou can use the code “FIRSTDRAFT” for a free month of the Hobbyist or Basic plan.",

Instead of filling out paperwork and waiting 6 months for a check, our software instantly applies rebates and manages the settlement in the background.\n\n# The Problem\n\nClean energy products have higher upfront costs while competing in markets defined by the importance of affordability (e.g. 60% of appliances are financed). Rebates are designed to offset these higher costs, but because rebates are complicated and not surfaced during buying decisions, consumers today choose products that are worse for both the environment and their wallets.\n\n# The Solution\n\nWe solve this problem by partnering with retailers to enable them to transform government and utility rebates into dramatically lower prices for their customers. This solution saves consumers money, increases retailer sales, and helps deploy rebates faster than ever.\n\nStarting with EV Chargers, we qualify consumers for all applicable rebate programs in real-time and advance their savings at checkout. After purchase, we work with the consumer to process the rebate and manage the settlement with the rebate issuer.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69740&key=user_uploads/1202385/15a9b94d-59cc-4ebd-9cd8-2e27ba1df34a)\n\n# The Team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69740&key=user_uploads/1202385/124cba11-ebdf-48b4-b7c4-56a3fa67421a)\n\nWe’ve both spent the last half decade helping merchants grow their businesses. Andrew was an engineer at Affirm, building servicing and payment systems scaling to billions of dollars in GMV. Thomas launched and GM’d markets for DoorDash both domestically and abroad. \n\nAs new homeowners we were both struggling to figure out what rebates were available and how they actually worked… and we’d spent weeks researching climate tech! Fellow consumers and retailers agreed, so in January of 2023, we started Upfront.\n\nWe're determined to help make clean energy products the obvious choice for consumers to stamp out the nearly 1 gigaton of CO2E emitted from America’s 124 million homes annually.\n\n# The Ask\n\n* If you sell a product that receives government and/or utility rebates (especially EV chargers)–we’d love to chat!

        "body": "**Tl;dr: Vaero is AI software to help patent lawyers work 5x faster. It drafts an entire patent application with AI based on invention information. The software includes a complete platform for patent lawyers to use AI for reviewing patent applications, responding to office actions, and enhancing invention disclosures.**\n\n**🔬 The Problem:**\n\nPatent lawyers spend hours drafting patent applications, which can be dozens and even hundreds of pages long. Patent applications include lots of detailed technical description about inventions in a formalistic way that is slow and laborious to write. Many patent lawyers find writing these technical descriptions to be their least favorite part of the job given that it can be tedious.\n\nMoreover, the time-consuming nature of patent application drafting is also a major business problem for patent attorneys. Budgets per patent application have been on a flat or declining trend over the last two decades due to increased client demands. As a result, patent attorneys find themselves having to write patent applications with a smaller and smaller budget, which has led to increased time pressure. In some firms, patent application drafting has become an unprofitable loss leader that only serves to retain clients for more profitable legal services.\n\nIn addition to drafting patent applications, patent attorneys also deal with large volumes of documents in the other parts of their job. They often have to analyze long patent documents; they have to respond to patent application rejections from the patent office, which can be dozens of pages long; and they have to work with varying levels of invention information, which range from a few sentences to entire manuscripts.\n\n**🪄 The Solution:**\n\nVaero is AI software built specifically for patent lawyers to speed up their patent drafting and other daily tasks:\n\n* Vaero drafts an entire patent application using AI based on the same inputs that patent lawyers use\n* Patent applications are written to the highest legal standards, based on our CEO’s ten years as a patent lawyer including at one of the biggest U.S. law firms\n* Automatically review existing patent applications to assist with legal analysis\n* Enhance invention disclosures from inventors\n\n**⭐️ Why us?**\n\nWe are [Bryant](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryant-lee/) and [Earl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/earlhathaway/), 2nd time founders whose prior startups have collectively raised $80M+.\n\n* Bryant has been a patent lawyer for ten years and previously co-founded Cognition IP, a legal tech startup in the patent field which achieved 7 figures of annual revenue and was backed by Khosla Ventures, Mayfield Fund, and Y Combinator. He was a patent lawyer at Covington & Burling, one of the biggest law firms in the U.S., and graduated from Harvard Law School where he was on the law review. Prior to that he was a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon.\n* Earl previously co-founded a successful legal compliance startup called DataGrail (Series C, raised $84M), which sells privacy software to the legal departments of large enterprises. Prior to DataGrail, he has been a technical and product leader at many startups.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/WX1askFb1Wr4isgeEJJNjiF-3ksFsLa67Kwt93RZ6TiiDP1b7VxjVq-CCnnk0uIKtCO3_7WucjnKx0xtXdPaiRKu1F7BSyqtTgmAH0CBVdcu6X6NRZEH932WhuTkR4ki404crxQuF0WdWQJMOyRPDLg)\n\n**🎉 Interested?**\n\nIf you’re thinking about how to draft patent applications more efficiently, book a [call](https://calendly.com/bryant-lee-sf/15min) with us or reach out to [founders@vaero.co](mailto:founders@vaero.co)",

        "tagline": "Do you like free flights? We'll help you get *lots* of them in economy or business ",
        "body": "# **TL;DR**\n\n[Pointhound](https://pointhound.com) helps you earn and redeem your credit card points for free flights to amazing destinations 🛫🏝️🗼\n\nIf you’re like us and like the idea of getting free flights _for free_, read on! 👇\n\n# **🤫 The situation — and a big secret**\n\n120m Americans have credit cards, but almost none of us know how to use them or which one(s) to get. We think that cash back cards are the best because they give us, well, cash back.\n\nThe reality is, instead of cash back, earning **points** when you spend will get you _far, far_ greater ROI than cash back — upwards of 10-15x, in fact, when you use your points to book flights.\n\nBook flights with points, you say? How do I do that? Great question: by **transferring** **your points** from your credit card portal (like Amex) to an airline (like Delta) and booking with an airline.\n\nExample: let’s say you found a flight that retails for $1000. If you booked that flight through your credit card’s travel portal, it would cost you 100,000 points (or $0.01 per point — the industry standard). By transferring your points from your credit card’s portal to the airline flying the route, it might only cost you 90,000 points. Not bad.\n\nBut If you booked the Delta flight through their partner, Air France-KLM’s website, **it might only cost you 10,000 points** — 10x cheaper!\n\n_Yup, really._\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Ybt3eTOD1Q5hY_qPmvTpU0Zr7PRHjgPk-esFb3v5pENdVIscLo6Nx1UQmHWCtw09Xl7m_Se3vOw4U-jXu-l7ChWZlejksxzGW-q-NmmL7Hm9YO5ECgCUfjRvBkq6TKvypbtIQpBDP0ozp8En53VjWSw)\n\n# **❌ The problem**\n\nOk, so now we understand that earning points are better than cash back, let’s talk about the problem:\n\n* Figuring out which point-earning credit card(s) to sign up for is complex.\n* Knowing which card you should use to maximize the points you **earn** is even more complex.\n* And figuring out how to **redeem** your hard-earned points for good, no, _great_ value may be the most complex.\n\nSure, there are the blogs and content-heavy websites that _try_ to help you navigate the world of points. But they require you to read and digest thousands of full-length articles to understand what to do.\n\nAnd there are a few companies who have built flight search tools for points, but none seem to holistically address the complexities of both **earning** points and **redeeming** those points. Oh, and they also charge you a monthly fee.\n\n# **✅ The solution — Pointhound**\n\n[Pointhound](http://pointhound.com) is a _completely free_ way to help you earn and redeem your points for free flights 🏝️☀️\n\nOur goal is simple: to simplify the complex world of credit card points and airline miles. We do this by providing our users with a few delightfully designed tools. Our tools help you:\n\n**Redeem your points**. Not sure how to use your hard-earned credit card points? You’re in luck! Our flight search engine searches over 140 airlines at once and surfaces incredible deals using your points and miles. And our [Top Flight Deals](https://pointhound.com/explore) page shows you the cheapest flights from your home airport to destinations all over the world.\n\nWe then tell you where you should transfer your points from (ex. Chase) and to (ex. Air France-KLM Flying Blue) to get the absolute best deal using your points.\n\nFor example, I just booked a flight from SFO to Tokyo in business class for only 60,000 points, when the retail price was $6500 – more than 10 times cheaper when booking with points! _Now you can too._\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/G-JvDBpItFU2r2HzbXVzxX3jmIAv9YP8nluGgDZ5aFrRdvs20-jrNVTM6ygH38DBfCst80WZOCxapnecQY207t-7zeaHSbkQIJk26v39PM_3QJWNfWmVsxv4NYv8faNMhB12r7c7n7h7xS8xQmS79yo)\n\n**Earn more points**. Newly obsessed with finding and booking free flights and want to get more points? Our personalized credit card algorithm helps you get the right card(s) for you so you can maximize the points you earn (and free flights you can get).\n\nOur goal is to equip the “points beginners” – many of us who have a card or two and would like a simple product to help us earn and redeem our points for free flights.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1Q51EUtGWI6LLfJtSPthI-q2QN2dSowTFKu_D8_KX5k957PRhe73c01FhSiEKK9wrrA2jymjG-bA-gUk5n91Ym-_-uV8Ywp9JkfrAlZMPWtgxot1uGm3BbNvMUZsEZh3i3B6CtFuWehXmDhbXKfk8eQ)\n\n# **👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Why us**\n\nWe’re a mix of point junkies _and_ point beginners. We understand our user, because we _are_ our user.\n\nWe can relate, but we also ask questions and listen. Learning from our users directly is critical.\n\nWe’ve seen industries in need of a shake up — we’ve been here before. Our founding team previously founded and built the consumer startup, [Feather](https://livefeather.com/), a YC S17 company, where we raised $75 million from Kleiner, Bain and NEA, and sold the business.\n\n* [Jay Reno](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayjreno/) 👨‍✈️ - Co-founder & CEO\n* [Jake Malone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakemalone/) 👨‍🏫 - Co-founder & CTO\n* [Samantha Clark](https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarksamantha/) 👩‍🎨 - Co-founder & CPO, Design, Brand\n* [Jeffrey Flynn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreynflynn/) 👨‍💻 - Founding Engineer\n\nWe’re combining our consumer experience building Feather with our passion for travel to build a once-in-a-generation travel business.\n\n# \n\n# **🙏 Asks**\n\n1. Find and book yourself a [free flight](https://www.pointhound.com/explore). _Is that a real ask?_ It sure is.\n2. Share with your friends who you think might love booking free flights! _Thanks in advance_.\n3. Please share feedback by sending an email to [founders@pointhound.com.](mailto:founders@pointhound.com) _But, like, pls don’t spam_ 🤞.\n\nWe’ve made Pointhound free for everyone, so if you find this at all valuable, your support and upvotes would be super valuable and motivating for us.\n\nHappy (free) flying! 🛫☀️",

        "body": "Hi YC 👋🏾, we’re Tosin, Christopher, and Adeyemi operating from Lagos, Nigeria.\n\nChow Central is building restaurant chains for Millennials and Gen Z living in African cities who want high-quality and healthy meals. Think of us as Chipotle for African meals. \n\nChow Central started as a fun experiment shortly after we graduated from University.  We created a virtual restaurant page on Twitter to sell affordable meals and also help underutilized restaurants get sales during the Covid lockdown.\n\nWe relaunched 18 months ago, currently active in just one region and we are doing over $80,000 in monthly revenue.\n\nWe have modified our approach, we operate a central kitchen to improve quality and maintain consistency. We then partner with highly-vetted underutilized commercial kitchens to serve as our fulfillment centers. \n\nOur customers love our delicious recipes and our faster & cheaper deliveries. Our approach of leveraging underutilized kitchens allows us to initially launch in a location with minimal capital investment.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73617&key=user_uploads/902934/4b087e33-4f96-45e7-adf8-2811c6cd3e8b)\n\n\\\nWe operate two restaurant brands:\n\nFirstly, 500chow is a high-quality restaurant that serves delicious local African delicacies. Our second restaurant is a healthy grill, shawarma, and barbecue restaurant.\n\nMillennials and Gen Z in African cities who want to order meals online are still underserved. There are over 50 million of them, if we can serve 5 million of them once every month with an average spend of $8, this represents a $5B market opportunity. \\\n\\\nChris and Yemi previously built industry-leading products at Moniepoint. Tosin previously worked at Vendease (W21) a restaurant supply-chain company.\\\n\\\n**How can you help?** \n\n* Refer us to your friends visiting or living in Lagos, Nigeria\n* [Check out our newly released mobile application](https://chowcentral.onelink.me/bvtE/t8dfjd86) and give feedback on the user experience (Pro tip, set your location to Lekki Phase 1)\n\n  Want to talk about food?

        "body": "Hi folks! We’re Saba and Debanjum from Khoj and we’re working hard to make personal AI accessible to everyone, including your mum and grandad 😇\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74032&key=user_uploads/1201614/8190dfd3-b9b1-4314-99ec-b6ce76241019)\n\n## Summary\n\nKhoj is an open-source, personal AI application that helps you extend your digital brain. It's built by a team that scaled personal AI assistance for enterprises to 10s of millions of daily active users at Microsoft. You can try Khoj on WhatsApp at [\\+1 (848)-800-4242](https://wa.me/18488004242)\n\n## The Problem\n\nComputing capabilities have advanced at a staggering rate over the last few decades, but our individual capabilities have stagnated. Petabytes of data have been digitized, and yet our tools to engage with them hover somewhere around fuzzy search.\n\nWhile we were building more advanced tools for enterprise assistance, we realized that there weren’t good equivalents to helping individuals across work and life.\n\nI've to make sense of what is covered by my health insurance plan in some outdated PDF, track down stray notes I made during my 100th daily standup meeting, or look for that one email I sent back in 2018 to Carl. The current set of tools for this just doesn’t cut it.\n\nAll the while, the surface area occupied by our digital interactions is making us less happy and more distracted.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74032&key=user_uploads/1201614/e3d51fab-e8ef-4db1-b3ac-0fddecc6e899)\n\n## The Solution\n\nWith Khoj, we're creating your open-source, superhuman companion to tackle these challenges.\n\nRight now, you can use Khoj’s desktop app to search and chat with your existing notes and docs (see below!). Instead of awkwardly keyword searching, you can have a natural conversation with your knowledge base. Hundreds of technical, advanced knowledge workers are already using this. It supports fully offline chat and search. [See the docs](https://docs.khoj.dev/#/setup).\n\nBut technical capability shouldn’t limit access to great digital assistance. That's why we're rolling out the ability to access [Khoj over WhatsApp](https://khoj.dev/whatsapp) as well.\n\nWe’re building your companion with two key principles in mind:\n\n1. We build in the open with a diverse community from the ground up, so humans stay at the center of it all\n2. Personal AI is coming. We intend to create it in a way that is both trustworthy and accessible\n\n![](https://khoj-web-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/chatdemo.gif)\n\n## The Team\n\nDebanjum and Saba met while building and scaling enterprise personal AI assistance at Microsoft. They became fast friends while bonding over hiking in the PNW and hacking on fun side projects together.\n\nSaba has studied CS @ UIUC, built resilient data pipelines for high-frequency trading at Two Sigma, and developed the ML infrastructure at a YC biotech startup.\n\nDebanjum is a published researcher with a double Masters in Math and CS at BITS and Dartmouth respectively. He helped create Hillhacks, an Indian hacker conference that's been running self-sustained for 9+ years.\n\n## The Ask\n\nTell us what you'd like out of your own personal superhuman companion at [team@khoj.dev](mailto:team@khoj.dev).\n\nChat with Khoj on WhatsApp at [\\+1 (848)-800-4242](https://wa.me/18488004242) or by using the QR code below. You can also send it voice messages! 🎙️\n\n![](https://khoj-web-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/khojwhatsapp.png)\n\n",

        "body": "Hey everyone! **Trey Benedict** & **David Gordillo** here from **Pure** to talk about our recent Precious Metals marketplace launch (2nd Launch of the Batch!). Our coin-scanning app launch gathered over 1K+ downloads and over 700 active users in a month, we thank you for your support 🙂\n\n### **TL;DR:**\n\nWe built an order-book-style marketplace to buy precious metals products such as gold/silver coins & bars. [**https://collectpure.com/**](https://collectpure.com/)\n\n### **❌ Problem**\n\nBuying & selling physical precious metals is very difficult. Most people wouldn’t even know where to start.\n\nA quick Google search will lead you to retailers that charge a “premium” of 10-30% over the current spot price, practically burying the consumer in fees.\n\nIndustry incumbents are highly predatory, taking advantage of consumers, especially older people who are interested in tangible assets.\n\nA similar front comes with selling precious metals; imagine “Cash for Gold” places that are offering -30% back of spot, taking advantage of unknowing sellers. There are barely any options to be able to sell precious metals online, we are changing that with a safe, simple process.\n\nPhysical precious metals is a massive market ($55B+) and exploding due to the rising inflation within the last 3-5 years, but the bad actors need to go.\n\n### **✨ Solution**\n\nWe built a platform for buyers & sellers to efficiently trade precious metals products that are assayed by the world governments and leading refineries and assayers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73870&key=user_uploads/1135457/37b06359-cdf3-475e-90e7-739bdce24e6b)\n\nEffectively, we have lowered the premiums on precious metals to 3-5% by creating an order-book-style marketplace, down from 10-30% previously.\n\nThe key is to provide transparency of manufacturing premiums, spot prices, and historical trends in price to be able to provide the most efficient solution for purchasing physical precious metals. These will update after one week of the site launch to start giving predictions similar to Kayak’s flight advice.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73870&key=user_uploads/1135457/0cdd9e9c-4865-4c83-8f6a-959492b22bc0)\n\nIn order to carry out a streamlined marketplace, we needed a heavy-duty logistics solution, that’s why we partnered with the largest wholesaler of precious metals in the US, as well as the US Mint to secure a depository vault in the Las Vegas airport. All items are double-insured, with armed security 24/7. (Yes, we have a mini Fort Knox).\n\n### **🔦 Asks:**\n\nIf you are interested in purchasing Gold or Silver for orders over $2K please shoot me an email to [**trey@collectpure.com**](mailto:trey@collectpure.com). More than happy to chat!\n\nIf you know a gold bug, please send them our way! We would love to onboard them to our platform.\n\nIf you’d like to test the platform with a small purchase, this is the best entry to gold: [**https://www.collectpure.com/product/1-gram-argor-heraeus-gold-bar000199**](https://www.collectpure.com/product/1-gram-argor-heraeus-gold-bar000199)\n\nThanks!",

        "tagline": "We provide real-time pricing data & analytics to numismatists about their certified rare coins.",
        "body": "Hey everyone 🙂 [@Trey Benedict](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1135457) & [@David Gordillo](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1477652) here from [@Pure 🪙](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29053) to talk about our recent app launch for physical certified rare coins (sorry crypto fans these are real coins).\n\n### **TL;DR:**\n\nWe have built the first aggregate index to provide the **$11B Numismatics industry** with real-time pricing & population data for all certified rare coins.\n\nCertified Coins are typically of higher value ($1k-$20m), that are authenticated and graded on a scale of 1-70 by services such as PCGS, NGC, & CAC. These are physical coins made from precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.\n\nThe current state of the industry is plagued with asymmetric information, fragmented databases, and steep learning curves, causing many market inefficiencies. Pure aims to tackle these problems, and provide transparency to the industry as a whole.\n\n### **⭐️ Team**\n\n[Trey Benedict](https://www.linkedin.com/in/treybenedict/) **(CEO)** UC Berkeley Econ + DS 23’\n\n* 10+ years of Numismatic experience at the Smithsonian, Heritage Auctions, KLRC & Tangible Investments.\n* Purchased, graded, and sold over $20m worth of Rare U.S. Certified Coins.\n\nDavid Gordillo **(CTO)** Dropped out to pursue Pure\n\n* Full-Stack Engineer & Security Specialist\n* Sneaker Automation Developer & Collector\n\nShoutout to [Harrison Resnick](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hres/) & [Carter Watts](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carter-watts/) as well for being a part of the founding engineering team & being fellow collectors of Comics & Cars!\n\n### **❌ Problem & Current State of Numismatics**\n\nSimilar to sports cards, highly valuable coins are certified by third-party graders such as PCGS, NGC, and CAC. These entities authenticate the coins and assign them a condition rating, which scales from 1 to 70.\n\nHowever, due to the nature of the industry, many problems arise for participants such as encountering:\n\n1. **Asymmetric Information** of Pricing, Population, and Provenance of Certified Rare Coins.\n2. **Fragmented Databases** with misaligned and outdated descriptions, difficulty of navigation, and data entry errors.\n3. **Steep Learning Curves** in Numismatics often lead new collectors to purchase overpriced or even counterfeit Certified Rare Coins.\n\n### **✨ Solution**\n\nPure has created the **first aggregate index** of all U.S.-certified coins, with over 7+ million historical auction records across 72,000 different types of rare coin varieties.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/bbb572b7-2646-41f6-8d21-f77607b626cf)\n\nSimply **Scan, Tap, or Enter** the certificate number associated with a certified coin to be able to view all associated pricing & population data.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/807d05f5-b331-4f68-bcb5-6da2c955c84d)\n\nPure has created an overview for **real-time tracking and analysis** of coin inventories, benefiting collectors, dealers, and auction houses.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/d940e71f-b95d-4374-b606-6d27c77b1403)\n\nPure goes beyond analyzing historical data, by identifying **valuable collector traits** such as toning, mint luster, and eye appeal through the use of computer vision.\n\n### **How & Why Numismatics?**\n\nWe are collectors at heart, whether it be sneakers, cards, comics, or coins we have always collected something since we were young. Numismatics is a small niche community that happens to be one of the largest by market size, but the least technically involved. Over the years we have witnessed the revolution of sneakers through StockX & Goat, to sports cards, pokemon & Funko through ALT & Whatnot. It was only a matter of time before rare coins... However, we needed to catch the infrastructure of Numismatics up to speed first before diving deeper, hence this launch!\n\n### 🔦 **Asks:**\n\nIf you are Numismatist or know a friend who is: test [here](https://apps.apple.com/app/collect-pure-scan-rare-coins/id6446706268) 🙂\n\nInterested in learning more about Numismatics or Bullion: send us an email to [founders@collectpure.com](https://mailto:founders@collectpure.com)",

And since they're subscription-based, the less work they do per query, the more they profit.\n\n**What we built:** Webhound is a research agent where you set a dollar budget and it keeps searching until it's used. $5 or $100 — every dollar goes into deeper search, more sources, and real verification. The output is either a cited research report or a structured dataset with source URLs per cell.\n\n**What's new:** Today we're launching Webhound Agent — a full research assistant with a workspace.\n\n* **Start research from chat.** Describe what you need, the agent proposes a session with an editable budget and model. You confirm before anything runs.\n* **Multi-step pipelines.** Chain steps together — \"research X, then extract Y, then write a recommendation\" — and they run automatically in sequence.\n* **Analyze your existing work.** Ask the agent about any report or dataset. It reads the full document and answers with citations.\n* **Organize everything in folders.** Nested workspace with drag-and-drop, working directories, and folder-scoped context.\n* **The agent remembers you.** It learns your research interests, budget preferences, and working patterns across conversations.\n\n**How it works under the hood:** Research sessions run a plan-execute-verify loop. The planner decides what to investigate, the executor searches the web and writes a cited report, and the verifier checks every claim against its sources. When the verifier finds gaps, it sends the work back. This cycle repeats until the budget runs out.\n\n**Pricing:** Pay-as-you-go. No subscriptions. $5 free credits to start.

        "body": "Hey everyone, Moe here.\n\nWe're building Webhound — AI research agents where you set a budget and the agent keeps researching until it runs out. More budget = more sources, more depth.\n\n**How we got here:** We started with a product (now called Datasets) that builds structured tables from the web. It worked, but we hit a wall: as datasets got bigger, costs exploded and context became unmanageable. And for open-ended datasets, we never had a clean answer for \"when should the agent stop?\"\n\nSo we rebuilt everything around two ideas: costs that stay linear with time, and giving users direct control over depth.\n\nThe new architecture is a **Planner-Executor-Verifier loop**. Executors get fresh context each run. Planner and Verifier work from summaries and can search over what's accumulated. Runs until budget's out.\n\nWe tested it on traditional deep research as a sanity check. At $3-5, it beat the top result on DeepResearch Bench. At $15, it way outperformed it, even running on older models (gemini-2.5-flash). So we shipped it as Reports and put the same architecture into Datasets.\n\n**We now have two products:**\n\n* **Reports** = cited research docs (competitive analysis, market research, system design). Always uses the full budget—more budget means more sources and deeper coverage.\n* **Datasets** = build structured tables from the web, or upload your own and enrich with new columns. We can access LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and most other sites. Examples: lead lists with company info, competitor feature matrices, lists of VCs filtered by thesis, GTM leads with emails. Stops when complete, or at budget, whichever comes first.\n\n**Asks:**\n\n* **Try it** – [**webhound.ai**](http://webhound.ai), $5 free. Honest feedback welcome.\n* **Spread the word** – if it's useful, share it with anyone you know doing a lot of research (investors, analysts, consultants)\n\n– Moe\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97405&key=user_uploads/1444435/fceaddd4-53f4-438f-930d-a4bf18bf97ce)\n\n(Demo Video for Reports: [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEGJBudvmsE**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEGJBudvmsE))",

        "body": "Hey everyone,\n\nWe’re [Moe](https://www.linkedin.com/in/moe-khalil-73a2371a1/) and [Theo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/theodor-schmidt/), and we’re building [Webhound](https://webhound.ai).\n\n# TL;DR\n\nWebhound is an AI research agent that builds custom datasets from web research. Instead of spending weeks manually gathering data, simply describe what you need and Webhound automatically finds, extracts, and organizes it into structured datasets you can export.\n\nSome examples are:\n\n* “Find 100 AI/ML YouTubers with 50K-100K subscribers, their email addresses, and latest video view counts.”\n* “Track pricing, features, and customer reviews from both Reddit and Youtube for 30 CRM competitors including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.”\n* “Collect 500 vacation rental listings in Bali with photos, pricing, amenities, and guest reviews from multiple platforms to analyze market trends.”\n* “Identify 200 early-stage e-commerce startups on Shopify or WooCommerce, along with founder names, contact emails, and product categories to build a lead list.”\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG1SiKznpHs&pp=0gcJCcEJAYcqIYzv\n\n# **❌ The Problem**\n\nData collection is painfully manual and slow. Need to research 100 competitors? That means visiting 100 different websites, copying information into spreadsheets, and repeating this process for every data point.\n\nThis creates two major problems:\n\n* **High effort:** Hours of tedious manual work, clicking through sites, and organizing data\n* **Slow speed:** What should be quick research turns into weeks of work\n\n# **👷 Our Solution**\n\nWebhound makes data collection effortless and fast.\n\n**Effortless:** Simply describe what you need in plain English. Webhound handles everything in the background while you focus on other work.\n\n**Fast:** A fleet of parallel search agents collect data simultaneously across multiple sources, turning weeks of manual work into hours.\n\nExport clean, structured datasets as CSV, Excel, or JSON.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92035&key=user_uploads/1444435/a0229371-c973-42ca-8383-bf35d6bb99c7)\n\n# **🙏 Our Ask**\n\nWant to try Webhound? Access is currently limited to 5 datasets per week and one at a time, but if you're interested in higher limits to automate your research workflow, please reach out to us at [**team@webhound.ai**](mailto:team@webhound.ai).\n\n# 👬 **The Team**\n\nMoe and Theo have been friends for 6 years and were roommates in college (in the room where Evan Spiegel founded Snapchat).\n\nSince graduating, Moe’s built a bunch of AI search tools, including Instaclass (turn any topic into a full search-backed course) and Remy (think Perplexity, but for video).\n\nTheo went deep on data, building and scaling Quicklime, where he helped film studios and streaming services collect the info they needed to make smart bets.",

Searching short-form video content**\n\n* Search TikTok or YouTube Shorts for clips made by creators.\n* Settle for recommended clips that don't quite match what you need.\n* Get filtered back into _the algorithm_.\n\n**2. Manually looking through long-form videos**\n\n* Open ten tabs with the top results on YouTube to look through them all.\n* Waste time scrubbing through long videos looking for the moments you want.\n* Miss valuable insights buried in obscure content.\n* Give up searching altogether.\n\n### We built Remy to solve this.\n\nInstead of treating videos as single units, [Remy](https://www.useremy.com/) understands what's happening inside every second of every video. It's like having a brilliant research assistant who's watched everything on the internet and can quickly find the exact moments you care about.\n\nThink of all the knowledge trapped in hour-long podcasts, conference talks, interviews, and tutorials. Remy sets it free by building you personalized playlists that connects the dots across thousands of sources—turning an overwhelming sea of content into a clear story that matters to you.\n\n<https://youtu.be/3n0zeaghQVs>\n\n## **🔎 How Remy works:**\n\n1. Tell Remy what you're curious about\n2. Remy searches through the internet's video content\n3. Remy curates a playlist of perfectly clipped moments for you to watch\n\n## **✨ Perfect for:**\n\n* 📚 Learning new skills: **\"Gordon Ramsay explaining expert knife techniques\"**\n* 🎯 Product research: **\"Professional skiers talking about best skis of 2025\"**\n* 🔍 Deep dives: **\"070 Shake talking about the music scene in New Jersey\"**\n* 📰 News & updates: **\"What does Sam Altman think about what's happening with AI regulation?\"**\n\n## **🤨 What makes Remy different:**\n\n* Real-time search across billions of videos\n* Smart clipping that captures full context\n* Conversational interface for natural discovery\n* Playlists that make sense for your search, not just random clips\n\nAs your searches evolve, Remy understands the context and narrows down results in real time, finding clips that otherwise might be buried deep within hours-long videos. Have questions about a clip it found? Just ask in the chat and get answers rooted in the content Remy found for you.\n\n### Give Remy a try today to discover videos you never knew existed.\n\n<https://www.useremy.com/>",

Yet, the process to redeem those points for outsized-valued flights is quite convoluted. Everyone wants to redeem an international first class ticket for 70K points, but few know how and the process can take up to 30 hours to fully optimize.

It uses that context to answer questions, produce daily briefings, surface reminders and follow-ups, keep projects warm, and support recurring workflows through autopilot.\r\n\r\nUnlike a chatbot that starts fresh with every conversation, jo maintains context over time. It can work proactively, but it does not give itself unlimited authority over a user's accounts. Summaries and briefings can run automatically when configured. Sending messages, changing calendars, making purchases, sharing private information, and other consequential actions require user approval.\r\n\r\njo is available on Mac and the web. The Mac app requires Apple Silicon. People can also use the same jo account and memory through mobile web, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Native mobile apps are planned but are not available yet.\r\n\r\njo is private by design. Each user has isolated cloud infrastructure and storage where applicable. Relevant information is sent to jo's services and the selected model provider only when a request or enabled feature needs it. jo uses model-provider endpoints and terms designed for zero retention or equivalent no-retention and no-training treatment. jo does not train AI models on users' raw communications, Google Workspace content, screen context, or voice data.\r\n\r\njo is generally available with no waitlist. It supports individuals and families. Each family member has a separate private jo, memory, boundaries, cloud machine, and storage, with controlled sharing for coordination."

See the current product at [askjo.ai](http://askjo.ai).\\\n\\\n====\\\n\\\n**TL;DR -** [jo](https://askjo.ai) is a personal AI that runs on your Mac and a private cloud machine we host for you. It knows your life, improves itself autonomously, chats via  Telegram and WhatsApp, and never shares your data. Less \"chatbot\" and more \"a second brain that does things.\"\n\n<https://youtu.be/7u6vxYF44rI>\n\nHey YC! We're [Kevin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liveink/) and [Pradeep](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pradeepelankumaran/), co-founders for a decade and consumer builders since the mid-2000s. For the last few years, we’ve iterated on an experience that’s zero compromise. It’s easy to use and gives consumers control over their privacy. \n\n🧠 **jo knows you.** jo improves over time as it learns your preferences, kids' schedules, travel habits, and work context. It reviews its own notes nightly and gets better as you use it. We’ve found the continuity over time to be immensely useful.\n\n🏠 **Your machine, your data.** Every jo macOS desktop app user also gets a dedicated cloud machine and storage. Personal data (photos, local files) never leaves your Mac without approval. Powerful cloud inference runs the best available models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Kimi with more on the way) on top of cloud providers that are barred from training on your data. \n\n⚡ **10x faster, everywhere you already are.** Voice on your Mac. Text &amp; voice on  Telegram and Whatsapp. Consistent  memory and personality, 24/7.\n\n**What it does**\n\n* On your Mac, jo notices your browsing patterns and group chats, then clips related content (runs locally, doesn’t leave your Mac).\n* Sends morning briefings with weather, calendar, and reminders pulled from Gmail and Google Calendar, continuing on from where you left off the night before.\n* Controls a real browser with anti-fingerprinting and a high success rate to check availability, compare prices, and research.\n* Searches across every messaging platform conversation(including groups) and email to find things you've forgotten.\n* Runs background automations you set once: \"Every Thursday, send me a ideas for what to do this weekend\"\n* jo will not send emails or messages, but will draft and suggest your emails (Gmail).\n\n \n\n## **The self-organizing digital you**\n\n* Unlike other AI assistants, jo self improves to maximize  usefulness and fun.\n* Scan back as many months of your browser and messenger history as you want for jo to work with. \n* Scheduled and autonomous recurring work compounds data and preferences, all stored on machines you have access to with strict exfil policies.\n\n \n\n👉 **Sign up for the beta:[ ](https://askjo.ai/signup)[askjo.ai](http://askjo.ai)** (first 100 people skip the onboarding and can download ASAP)\n\n**Other things jo does**\n\n* Find Warriors v Lakers game tomorrow from my email, go on stubhub for tickets, pronounce them expensive, and suggest hockey games instead for that weekend to take a 9yo to.\n* Keep an eye on the “No Priors” podcast every day and send summaries in a specific format whenever there’s a new episode.\n* Mentioned a topic from a friend inside a group chat, found and did deep research on the topic when asked later. \n* Scanned all Gmail receipts and learned a bunch of facts about our families’ preferences, guessed which family members each one applied to and used it for later gift selection.\n* Get the guest list from a Partiful invite in my messages\n* Built a profile of what we like to read and send us recommendations on a schedule\n* Import your OpenClaw folder and settings\n\n## **Coming soon**\n\nNative mobile app, multiplayer (shared family/team assistants), trusted purchases, grocery shopping.\n\n**Built on open-source roots.** We stand on the shoulders of giants and contribute back.\n\n👉 **Sign up for the beta:[ ](https://askjo.ai/signup)[askjo.ai](http://askjo.ai)** (first 100 people skip the onboarding and can download ASAP)\n\nPlease share your feedback.

See the current product at [askjo.ai](http://askjo.ai).\\\n\\\n————————————\\\n\\\njo is a voice-first digital personality that works alongside you every day – a smart and efficient new friend who saves you time and money while improving your quality of life.\n\nAs of now, jo runs only on macOS desktop, and only on Apple Silicon. [Sign up for the waitlist here.](https://askjo.ai)\n\n<https://youtu.be/Vat9_5nX92w>\n\n# **What Makes jo Special?**\n\n_JARVIS_ and _Samantha_ are assistant archetypes created within the scarcity mindset of an obsolete age. Instead of waiting for you to ask, jo helps you proactively at the edge.\n\nAlways a ‘hey jo’ or ‘⌘-j’ away, jo works _alongside_ you, helping with the low stakes but high frequency actions that make up the high stakes ones - keystrokes, taps, speech and screen. A new type of assistance for a new age.\n\njo’s built on top of a set of local and remote LLMs, vector storage and tight audio/network macOS native desktop code that unlock a new set of composable primitives for how humans interact with AI efficiently.\n\nIn practice, jo gets you halfway to most of the way there for common workflows, building user trust for its next phase of development where we push towards autonomous completion of high stakes / low frequency projects.\n\n* **Speak or type to jo, it will speak and type back** – latencies are low enough that you can lean on jo all day as AI on your side that works hard for you.\n* **Ask jo to run pre-filled, custom-integrated searches to get info in seconds**\n  * “pull up facebook marketplace to buy a new kettlebell and pull up videos of starter workouts on youtube”\n  * “search flights to new orleans next weekend for 3 people”\n  * “Arcane on netflix”\n  * “new backpack under $100 on amazon”\n  * “draft an email to city of sf asking for reimbursement on pothole”\n  * “find the email from amazon where i bought the white table”\n* **jo's \"Live Summary\" follows your browsing around and summarizes the three key points of anything you read, rapidly refreshing with each page change.** \n  * Generated using local LLMs that will be upgraded quarterly\n  * You can also preview links in your browser ‘Arc’-style by pressing ⌘ while hovering over them.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86433&key=user_uploads/133/4f2180f8-53ca-4bc2-b7e2-03467bb603fc)\n\n* **jo syncs on the backend with both work &amp; personal Google Calendars to help you manage your time better.**\n  * Finds open slots, and helps you plan your day effortlessly.\n  * _“Hey jo, find time for lunch with Sarah next week.”_ Done.\n  * jo also groups proposed meeting slots smartly with existing meetings to increase long blocks of non-meeting time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86433&key=user_uploads/133/7a0716b3-74a9-4390-97ba-93d54ffda7c3)\n\n* **jo remembers** choice information privately across many facets, uses that on every interaction to build a better picture of you, and actually attempts to be better (with your feedback).\n* jo is also **connected to a curated set of the big cloud LLMs** that you know and love, with comparable and controllable data access. Raw horsepower is available by default.\n* jo has a redundant architecture across LLMs, TTS and STT. As local and remote models improve in capability, **jo will inherit new abilities rapidly** as we build trust &amp; tech towards truly agentic behavior\n\n[Sign up for the waitlist here >](https://askjo.ai). We are sending invites out every day.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86433&key=user_uploads/132452/c4be1773-a13c-49f2-be9a-722bd1262175)\n\n# **Why jo Feels Different**\n\n* **Natural and intuitive.** You actually talk to jo like you would a friend. No weird commands to memorize or crazy prompt engineering. No switching models.\n* **Ridiculously fast.** jo works as fast as you can speak. Summaries, browser tasks, calendar checks—it’s all instant since we built the app using native Swift for Apple Silicon and have spent weeks cutting latency across multiple integrated systems.\n* **No distractions.** jo’s got a clean, focused interface that keeps you in flow state.\n\n# **Designed For Composability**\n\njo’s new usability primitives are concise distillations of learnings over the course of a year from preview versions of jo on telegram mobile, group chat experiences, single-player experiences and now macOS desktop.\n\n1. \\*\\*\"Fast comms\"\\*\\*\\\n   We speak faster than we type. We can read faster than we can listen. jo uses text and audio in/out, in parallel. Get the gist by listening, get the rest by reading.\n2. \\*\\*\"Async execution\"\\*\\*\\\n   jo works _alongside_ you, not blocking your work loop. Handoff stuff for jo to do. If you're an engineer, it’s like spinning up many new Actors for your life.\n3. \\*\\*\"Work before I get to it\"\\*\\*\\\n   jo kicks things off for you before you expend more cognitive effort. Start with the gist, then review the main points, then read the details.\n4. \\*\\*\"Save the important\"\\*\\*\\\n   jo captures choice information privately in many facets, uses that on every interaction to build a better picture of you, and actually attempts to be better with your feedback.\n5. \\*\\*\"Be my agent\"\\*\\*\\\n   jo pushes new info you care about to you, and reaches out on your behalf.\n\nChainable primitives like these wind up being compelling when they're composed into your ad hoc demands. \n\nUsing these primitives is the first step to building daily trust for true “agency”, where jo can execute high stakes goals (ex: organize and pay for expensive things, or draft and send critical emails). \n\nWhile it’s possible even now to “close the loop” with high stakes projects (for example jo sending an email or paying for a flight), we realized the trust building required needs a path, which is the true blocker.\n\n# **New Things You Can Do With jo**\n\n**Improve a low-stakes/high-frequency pattern you may do every day**\\\n“read hacker news” — With jo, you can now command-hover using jo over every interesting link in the list, getting an exec summary inline. Since this type of reading is usually ritualized behavior, jo will prioritize helping you process more info vs saving time. Soon, you can \"clip\" a live summary to save for later.\n\n**Start off a high-stakes, low-frequency request:** \\\n_\"find me a free weekend in the next month and show me new york flights\"_ — jo's connected to both your work &amp; personal calendars and will run this search using google APIs, find the open weekends, and then pull up google flights in your browser with all the relevant info pre-filled. It's faster than you at this and you can chain more steps.\n\n**Complicated ad hoc requests:** \\\n_\"will i see a good sunset tonight in pacifica, and where can i eat after?\"_  — jo will use a pre-connected weather API, find temp and visibility, construct the answer, and will likely present the awesome Taco Bell on the beach as one of the places to eat without opening any browsers.\n\nWe are working towards jo being able to ambiently push you showtimes for this weekend for the new Ghibli movie because it knows (with your permission) that you and your 7yo like watching them together.\n\n## **Engineering at jo**\n\nBuilding jo is an ongoing systems engineering and LLM application/design challenge. We believe latency and quality trumps all for daily-use products like jo and are obsessed with improving both every single day. We’re just now scratching the surface and are sanding down the rough edges with this preview release. We’d love your help with unraveling any unexpected behavior you see.\n\nWe ship very fast with very small, very tight teams. Reach out if you:\n\n* Are a very senior macOS / iOS engineer AND/OR\n* Understand the nuances of fine-tuning local models\n\n# **FAQ**\n\n* **How do I try jo?**\n  * [Waitlist is here >](https://askjo.ai)\n  * We are sending invites every day. First come, first served.\n* **Why a waitlist?**\n  * To ensure our systems keep up with the scale and usage.\n  * To find and fix any bugs.\n  * To listen to our early adopters and build.\n* **How does jo use LLMs?**\n  * We run remote large models on Azure with contracts requiring no data sharing.\n  * We run local small models on your machine for just the “live summary” feature (as of now).\n* **How do you save &amp; share my data?**\n  * We use hosted Postgres and a local vector data store running on our servers. \n  * We send text to remote LLMs that are run on Azure, with “no data sharing” protections in place.\n  * In our preview period, we’re using 3P audio transcribers and synthesizers, and you are also subject to their (sometimes changing) policies. More details upon request, and we are working to stabilize this.\n* **Hardware specs needed?**\n  * Any Mac with a “M” chip\n    * M2+ works best\n    * M1 works fine but live summaries are a touch slower\n  * At least 8GB shared RAM, more the better.\n* **Will there be mobile apps?**\n  * Yes, shortly.\n  * They will have similar functionality but will most likely start with just remote LLMs.\n* **Is my mic on all the time?**\n  * No, only when you turn it on manually.\n  * If you opt-in to the “hey jo” feature – if and only if jo’s mic is enabled, the system mic will remain on listening for the “hey jo” voice trigger\n* **Can I turn off ‘hey jo’?**\n  * Yes. jo will still activate when you press ‘⌘-j’\n* **Can I use jo with just a chat window and turn off all audio?**\n  * Yup, if you prefer. You can turn the audio input and audio output together and individually, on/off\n* **Is jo always watching my screen?**\n  * No. Once you enable live summaries and active screen sharing, jo will only have access to the frontmost window on your desktop.\n  * When this feature is turned off, no screen content is transmitted or processed.\n  * Any screen that’s being cached remotely expires after 10 minutes.\n* **Why pre-filled searches and not running the searches yourself?**\n  * Faster, chainable, more relevant, more control on the user’s side\n* **Can I get more detailed summaries than the short “live summary”?**\n  * Yes, you can ask further questions of jo about any browser window/tab or (for now) select apps we support.\n* **Can I get my favorite local model to be the jo LLM?**\n  * Not yet, but soon.\n* **Are you working on a local-only jo?**\n  * That’s privileged info.\n* **How much does jo cost?**\n  * jo is free to use during the preview period for the next 3 months.\n  * More pricing details in early 2025.\n\n**Team**\n\njo was created by [Pradeep Elankumaran](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pradeepelankumaran) &amp; [Kevin Li](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liveink/). We’ve been building consumer products for over a decade now.

Imagine being able to prompt characters that exhibit human-like behaviour into Minecraft, The Sims, or Animal Crossing into existence._\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79373&key=user_uploads/1552350/b97ac917-413b-465d-af9a-9d43c9091de3)\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLpG4LrLf60\n\n# Why Now?\n\nThe advent of large language models and diffusion models presents an incredible opportunity to solve three seemingly intractable problems in open-world games and simulations:\n\n1. It is hard for humans to write code and script interactions between assets, characters, and the environment to design fun games and experiences\n2. It was impossible for NPCs to display human-like behavior and have true agency in these 3D worlds\n3. It is hard to create new 3D assets, worlds, and non-playable characters\n\nWe founded ego to build an AI native simulation engine to solve all three problems - and we’ve started by tackling the first two. \n\n[ego](https://ego.live) is an AI-native simulation/game engine and platform where users can create and share 3D animated characters, worlds, and scripted interactions all using natural language. Imagine being able to prompt games like GTA, The Sims, Minecraft, or Animal Crossing into existence.\n\nIn the age of Gen AI, it is finally possible to build a **game engine that is also a game**.\n\n# Simulations on ego\n\nOver the course of YC, we built and launched two experimental games with our simulation engine: [TownWorld](https://docsend.com/view/ig6t2shuz26z7wha) (a 3D simulation of the Stanford Generative Agents [paper](https://hai.stanford.edu/news/computational-agents-exhibit-believable-humanlike-behavior) - [tweet thread](https://x.com/peggy_wang/status/1767656498212356597?s=20)) and [CharacterIdol](https://www.characteridol.ai/) (a game where user-prompted generative agents compete to entertain American Idol-style judges…also powered by LLMs). All of the character personalities, conversations, memories, and routines/movements in these games are fully generated by AI.\n\n[Townworld](https://youtu.be/6mPWFFTYebU):\n\n[CharacterIdol](https://youtu.be/j-R1am-kOTY):\n\nThis is where we found the massive opportunity to meaningfully make progress toward our vision of gaining usage of our simulation engine - _making it really easy for a user to make and share a game featuring agents in bounded or unbounded 3D space._ We are keenly aware of the sheer amount of time users spend talking to [character.ai](http://character.ai) [characters,](http://character.ai/) as well as the sheer amount of time young creators spend learning Lua code to script simple games and experiences in Roblox. What if we enable humans to interact with agents in immersive 3D worlds without the creators themselves needing to write complex Lua scripts or learn 3D modeling? What if summoning an agent was as simple as filling out a DnD character sheet?\n\n# Why is this a big deal?\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79373&key=user_uploads/1552350/4fffe41d-d395-4029-bc04-15e83365f347)\n\nSince time immemorial, humans have built tools to bring their internal worlds to life. The sandbox, the dollhouse, a tree branch shaped like a rifle - all examples of tools we use to bolster our imaginative capacity to dream new worlds, characters, scenarios, and stories into existence. The closest we’ve come as a species to actualizing our imagination has been through the use of game engines to create simulated open-world experiences and games. AI is about to democratize the strongest tool we’ve had to realize our imaginations, and ego will be the simulation platform and engine that will power this new possibility.\n\n_Animal Crossing_, _The Sims_, _Garry’s Mod_, _Skyrim_, _Minecraft_, _Roblox,_ and _GTA_ - all hit games that empower players to explore, create, and roleplay in immersive 3D worlds. However, video games are hard to build and even harder to keep releasing fresh content for. Outside of the studio system, independent [modders](https://www.nexusmods.com/) have spent countless hours extending these games’ shelf life with new experiences and [characters](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/98631), despite heavy technical challenges, and even outright hostility from the original game publishers. \n\n# Team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79373&key=user_uploads/1552350/b74846e9-8f20-4c19-9069-4f070a3838b2)\n\n[Vish](https://linkedin.com/in/astrophysicist) led the FB AI Applied Research team and the Meta Horizon Scripting team.

        "body": "Hey everyone – [Ryan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-ali/), [Josh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-passell-37939a152/), and [Adi](https://linkedin.com/in/aditya-ganapathi) here!\n\n**Tldr:** \n\nWe’re building [Purple](https://www.heypurple.ai/), an AI leasing assistant for landlords and property management companies. Our customizable AI answers questions directly from your listings and books prospective tenants for tours after only 10 minutes of coaching via chat.\n\n**Problem:**\n\nProperty managers deal with the pain of manually messaging prospective tenants around the clock in order to fill their vacancies. The questions are often repetitive and can come at any hour of the day through multiple channels (SMS, email, Facebook Messenger), adding overhead to their already busy schedule. However, responding to leads instantly is critical to convert quality leads in competitive rental markets.\n\nBig PM companies solve this problem by using structured leasing processes that take advantage of their standardized offerings and policies (i.e. similar floor plans, flexible tour scheduling with on-site leasing offices, etc.). SMBs who run a scrappier business and can’t pay for custom software are left without a solution – we noticed this when we saw a mom & pop PM company we’re working with respond to hundreds of inquiries per week (they even hired a VA to help with the load).\n\n**Solution:**\n\nWe provide a customizable AI leasing assistant that responds to every property inquiry and books prospective tenants for tours.\n\nLLMs and Generative AI provide a critical layer of intelligence required to quickly set up customized leasing assistants for SMBs. Our AI will:\n\n1. Learn about your properties and policies by scraping your data (website, listings, etc.)\n2. Customize the style/flow of its responses through a quick conversation \n3. Answer prospective tenant questions 24/7 and will check with a human when unsure about how to answer\n4. Sync with your calendar and book prospective tenants for a tour\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78171&key=user_uploads/1194190/3e938368-7c6d-4d89-b9e4-3d259a8df6af)\n\n**Founding Team:**\n\n* Josh & Adi grew up together in Palo Alto and have been drinking the startup Kool-Aid for a long time, while Josh and Ryan met and became friends on their first day at Cornell in an economics class\n* Before YC, we worked on a few different projects together – our first was an AI video dubbing tool. Our second was PurplePill, which used AI to automate selling your goods (sold over $25k of goods)\n* After seeing the growing number of small businesses listing rentals on Facebook Marketplace, we realized an opportunity to help solve a larger problem which led us to what we’re working on today!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78171&key=user_uploads/1194190/6def6d14-88b6-43c7-8006-e241254447de)\n\n**Broader vision and why now:**\n\nWhile we’re starting with leasing, our ultimate goal is to equip all types of small business owners with AI virtual employees that can help with everything from digital marketing and sales to customer service and operations. With over 30M small businesses in the U.S. alone, one-size-fits-all software was never going to cut it – we’re creating the AI-first Operating System for SMBs. \n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nWe would love an intro to your property manager or to chat if you’re interested in what we’re building!

        "body": "**Hey, we're Jesse and Michael. We were sick of weather apps being wrong so we built a better one.**\n\nToday we're launching the next iteration of Precip. It’s anchored on our own minute-by-minute rainfall forecast which is the most accurate in the US. \n\n<https://youtu.be/q2jSqBh8sk4>\n\nIt all started with a gap most people don't know exists: accurate weather history. \n\nWe first ran into it a decade ago, while building a farming data-science startup in YC. \n\nMost weather providers just show you the last forecast and call it history. \n\nWe do it differently. \n\nWe use high-resolution radar to measure what actually fell. \n\nThe result is 60% better rainfall measurements than just using NOAA's HRRR analysis.\n\nToday we're introducing the next evolution of Precip: our own minute-by-minute rainfall forecast. Instead of a false alarm about rain that never shows up, or getting drenched without warning, Precip tells you when the storm will hit your precise location, how intense it'll be, and how long it'll last, right on your lock screen.\n\nAnd it's not just guessing. Our benchmarks show Precip's minute-by-minute forecast is the most accurate in the US by a large margin: 85% more accurate than Apple Weather and 52% more accurate than Google Weather.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=117439&key=user_uploads/5724/e3eba11a-751f-45a7-9402-4faafee56141)\n\nHere's what we found doing the research: There are dozens of published \"state of the art\" models that couldn't beat simple, non-deep-learning approaches, even ones from journals like Nature. None of the \"foundation model\" approaches shipped by the big players worked either. \n\nThe reason is twofold: low-quality training data (this is why we had to start with the most accurate history) and the wrong model architecture for this specific problem.\n\nSo if you're like us and don't want to get caught in the rain, download Precip: the first truly exceptional weather app since we lost DarkSky. <https://link.precip.ai/get-precip>\n\nAnd if you're building your own product and want the best weather data, check out our API where you can pull data directly or connect your tools via MCP. <https://api-docs.precip.ai>",

        "body": "Hi, We’re [Ayman](https://linkedin.com/in/aymannadeem) and [Dylan](https://linkedin.com/in/dylan-drover), co-founders of [Nuanced](https://www.nuanced.dev/). \n\n**TL;DR:** Nuanced detects AI-generated images. We help companies like dating apps, ad platforms, news sites, and marketplaces distinguish human-authored materials from AI-generated content. \n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/L399NC0PSyrui-w5rRnJiBPSd_V0eoiaQKJcDB291blx6uiGn9NdkJA8ByQGESJXSJNsMFmZ_AmRodnNG9sygxAP3dPKKCk7o7DKhkTpoVOeVj4SchRZixQPmXJw7pLX4C0sMTwpD-U-zHVPZ7GDmd8)\n\n# \n\n# **We’re solving the authenticity crisis**\n\nNo one wants to lose users because of fake AI content. Consumers lose trust in a platform flooded with AI-generated content, risking churn and reputational damage.\n\nAs AI-generated content surges, distinguishing it from human-made material becomes vital for trust and authenticity. Existing detection technologies fall short, resulting in a $78B annual deepfake expense, and amplify growing problems such as misinformation and identity verification. \n\nOur solution has three parts: \n\n1. Easy integration via our [API](https://nuanced.stoplight.io/docs/nuanced-api/4l8bca59wmrl5-nuanced-api). \n2. Privacy-first, [custom zero PII models](https://blog.nuanced.dev/blog/2024/01/07/the-glossily-rendered-elephant-in-the-room-or-why-we-are-building-our-own-models/). \n3. Staying ahead of [AI-generated threats](https://blog.nuanced.dev/blog/2023/11/05/how-generative-ai-has-transformed-the-online-spam-and-abuse-landscape/) with our dedicated research team.\n\nWith Nuanced, you’ll never have to compromise user privacy, build costly internal systems, or take on complex integrations.\n\n# **How it works**\n\nNuanced provides a service that identifies AI-generated image content. Our models are trained on a wide array of architectures, such as Dalle-3, Midjourney, and SDXL, with continuous integration of data from the latest AI image generators. As AI-generated images evolve, so do we.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/uBHUedbK3fR5oYpkxcyfrG4DBjLVjYL0Jni83s8CbQK0G0y6vCJgt6ebZJGxUHHV6G8T5HjRWVh568IkHDNKkOI_0uphQitm6AOfet8zKv4hudJciLCYucpUiUSvoYe4OAC7KoBbgts-UJlQRlZJQmE)\n\n# **Our story**\n\nDylan and I met while studying engineering at the University of Waterloo. Each of us brings over a decade of tech industry experience. I was on GitHub's engineering team for over 7 years, addressing challenges like scaling abuse mitigation for 100+ million users. While at GitHub, I saw AI-driven threats evolve and evade traditional detection techniques, which led me to found Nuanced.\n\nDylan has a decade of machine learning experience spanning industry and academia, culminating in a 6-year tenure as an Applied AI Scientist at Amazon. \n\nWe both agreed that online content creation and consumption were rapidly changing, making it harder to discern reality from convincing hallucinations. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78200&key=user_uploads/1552616/4be4899f-ab76-47c2-a484-1aa39add3b41)\n\n# **Our asks**\n\n* **Give it a try:** use [this playground](http://13.59.173.43:7860/) to see Nuanced in action, and check out our [developer docs](https://nuanced.stoplight.io/docs/nuanced-api/zza4t0r053k8d-verify-image) to learn more. \n* **Flag incorrect results.** If we get something wrong [here](http://3.140.239.1:7860/), flag whether it was real or fake to help us improve our outcomes over time. We have provided a GIF below outlining how to flag incorrect results. \n* **Schedule a call:** to learn more, book a live 1:1 demo using [this link,](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ1oDN9pRF-xSoO2NiV-mUZP4lwg7RJI1fd-W6v1WyJX5rt_b9gJyBx5goNLX9xF4nuAILLBOzix) or by emailing us at [demo@nuanced.dev](mailto:demo@nuanced.dev).\n* **Customer intros:** we’d love intros to companies that have image verification needs, such as user-generated content platforms.

We’re on a mission to enable everyone to create, share, and enjoy the magic of AI-generated videos with consistent characters.\n\nCheck out [the most popular video](https://youtu.be/WnAzSG9PFO8) made with Eggnog - it got 100k views on Twitter in 24 hours! Paul Graham even said it was funny!\n\n### AI Videos don’t have consistent characters\n\nAI videos exploded in the past year, and we saw a deluge of content that was funny, spooky, and whimsical. But one thing has held these videos back from really being ready for primetime – AI video creators can’t create scenes with consistent characters.\n\nCreators try every trick in the book to give their wizard the same wizened face from one scene to the next, but no matter, the wizard always looks different.\n\nInconsistent characters kill so much of the magic of AI videos. It’s hard to get invested in the protagonist of a story if they look different in every scene!\n\n### Eggnog\n\nEggnog gives creators the control to design their characters exactly how they imagine and lets them use those characters in cinematic scenes. This unlocks AI video creation that is immersive with characters that viewers get attached to.\n\nCreators can also use and remix characters made by other Eggnog users, allowing creators to build worlds in a collaborative and social way.\n\nWe use a special mix of open-source diffusion models and post-processing to give creators control. Until now, the average creator couldn’t make a truly cinematic scene without a Hollywood budget for actors, sets, cameras, etc. Scenes from Interstellar, Dune, and Jurassic World were impossible to make without millions of dollars and months of time. But Eggnog changes that.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79488&key=user_uploads/587051/bc4cf951-1c5c-422f-9a80-46b6f92c4b1f)\n\n### What’s next?\n\nCharacter consistency is the foundation of entertaining AI video, but it’s only the beginning. We’re excited about a future where users can remix characters and scenes to build infinite storylines.\n\nWe’re going to make it possible for viewers to get engrossed in a cinematic universe and then expand on that universe in a collaborative and social way.\n\n### Team\n\nWe’re excited to empower the most creative people to tell the best stories.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79488&key=user_uploads/587051/f0cf8ab7-c747-44a8-87d6-c442985384c8)\n\nA bit about us— \\\n[Sam](https://linkedin.com/in/sam-plank-042b1199): BA in Applied Math from Harvard.

        "body": "\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98342&key=user_uploads/72181/7afbff3c-0ba0-4254-8473-0810886e91fa)\n\nHi everyone, we’re [Marie](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marie-schneegans/) and [Michae](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelfester/)l, and we’re building [14.ai](http://14.ai): the AI-native customer service agency. Our customers include AI glasses company Brilliant, men’s health supplement company Sperm Worms, Nordic lighting company Creative Lighting, and luxury skincare brand Yon-Ka. Michael previously co-founded Snips, an AI voice platform acquired by Sonos.\n\n**The problem: the death loop of customer service**\n\nWe’ve all been there: you have a simple problem that you take to customer support, but you’re forced into a never-ending cycle of being passed between different agents and explaining your situation for the (n + 1)th time.\n\n**1. The burden of effort:** If a customer is working harder than the company to solve a problem, the system has failed.\n\n**2. Fragmentation:** You start a chat on your phone, move to your desktop, and have to explain your account number and issue for the third time.\n\n**3. Dumb automation:** You talk with a chatbot that acts as a gatekeeper, not a helper.\n\n**4. Costly, slow onboarding:** Onboarding a new customer support agent brings an expensive and time-consuming burden.\n\nTraditional BPOs (Business Process Outsourcing) try to solve this through headcount in low-cost regions, and rely on manual processes and legacy CRMs that are slow to adapt and prone to error. This approach does not work.\n\n### **The solution: [14.ai](http://14.ai) is the AI-native customer service agency**\n\nWe are a full-service agency built from the ground up with AI as the core engine.\n\n#### **1. High-touch concierge**\n\nExcellent service guides everything we do. After our customers hand over their existing integrations, we tell them to stop answering tickets; now, it’s our problem. This level of service extends to our customer’s customers. We offer the best customer service in the world, and we are always working to stay that way.\n\n#### **2. Low constant onboarding**\n\n[14.ai](http://14.ai) goes live within hours. We take away the burden of onboarding new customer support agents and begin answering your tickets immediately. We get our customers to inbox zero on day zero.\n\n#### **3. Agentic resolution**\n\nMost bots just provide “how-to” links. [14.ai](http://14.ai) actually does the work. We plug in to your company’s most complex processes, autonomously verifying purchases, generating shipping labels, and triggering refunds in a single, seamless flow.\n\n#### **4. Outcomes, not tools**\n\nOur AI engineers operate our own highly tailored software for automation. Customers only see the parts they actually need to see: reports, CX metrics, resolved conversations, VIP or high-touch integrations, and the like.\n\n#### **5. The human-AI feedback loop**\n\nOur human team is supercharged, not replaced. We also service our customers around the clock, 24/7.\n\nOur full-time AI engineers are based in San Francisco and are responsible for answering every support ticket, automated or not. Every time we encounter an edge case, that intervention is fed back into our agents - they become smarter every day.\n\n### **Who is this for?**\n\n**E-commerce companies, mobile applications, fintech companies, healthcare companies, and more.** These are types of companies we’ve worked with already and have seen huge impact with. Customer relationships begin with a 7-day free trial, allowing for onboarding and for potential customers to confirm that there is a fit.\n\nEvery customer we have onboarded repurposed their support teams before their trial even finished.\n\nWe thrive where volume is high and customer support is managed by a number of human customer support agents, either domestically or overseas. If you’re a company with a backlog of support tickets, even better: we’ll take care of your entire backlog on Day 1.\n\n### **Our ask**\n\nWe want to be your customer service. If you’re tired of managing a fragmented support team, fighting with legacy BPOs and VAs, or having a backlog of support tickets, we’d love to talk.\n\n**Visit our website at[ ](https://14.ai)[14.ai](http://14.ai) or book an intro call with us here.**\n\n### **Also! We’re launching the world’s first autonomous consumer brand: GloGlo**\n\n[GloGlo](https://gloglo.com/) are rapid glucose gummies designed for Type 1 diabetics, high-performance athletes, and more. They are built to deliver rapid and reliable carbohydrates, meeting quality-of-life pain points that glucose tablets don’t address and elevating the consumption experience from existing options. The brand is powered by [14.ai](http://14.ai), meaning we are owning and operating GloGlo from the ground up. GloGlo is a blueprint for how B2C companies can operate at a world-class level autonomously, while delivering the best possible customer experience. Check it out at [gloglo.com](http://gloglo.com).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98342&key=user_uploads/72181/4e04b858-df53-4a09-a82b-7edaace7ce4b)\n\n",

We are live with companies like AngelList, Mindbody, and Plotly.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/65f672d8-ad2b-4f01-843a-75653e4010ab)\n\n**Problem**\n\n* **Scaling customer support with headcount is expensive:** Human resources account for 90%+ of customer support expenses.\n* **Customer support agents burn out:** Support tasks incur large amounts of manual, repetitive, and ungratifying work that humans don't need to be doing, causing burnout, turnover, and reduced quality.\n* **Customer support is more than a chatbot on a website:** In an API-driven world, customer support tools need to evolve with the company’s tech stack. Existing AI-powered solutions are not delivering on the promise, resulting in sub-par customer experience and low NPS and CSAT scores.\n* **Company resources are siloed across systems:** As companies grow, so does their expert knowledge. It is hard to access at scale, and keeping employees up-to-date is nearly impossible.\n\n**Solution**\n\n* **Comprehensive data indexing:** Markprompt addresses the root of the information access problem by indexing all available knowledge within a company, setting the foundation for a robust system of record to feed the AI. This includes:\n  * Salesforce Knowledge databases\n  * Salesforce and Zendesk tickets\n  * Notion wikis\n  * GitHub repositories, discussions, and issues\n  * Company websites, docs, guides, blogs\n* **An API-first approach:** Markprompt is built from the ground up with an API-first approach. Every feature, from indexing and processing of data to generating drafts, triaging tickets, creating chat replies, or triggering automations, can be achieved via our APIs. Markprompt also provides SDKs (such as React hooks and components) and no-code tools to enable integrations at all touchpoints in the customer journey.\n* **Deep integrations:** Markprompt works well within existing support platforms, such as Zendesk and Salesforce. And with our APIs, it is possible to build custom integrations to accommodate any setup.\n\nHere is an example of a bespoke ticket deflection and triaging system built with our React libraries:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/52faa2d8-f529-4ce4-8314-a3f6e5cba849)\n\n**How we help**\n\n* **Efficient ticket deflection:** Deploy AI-driven chatbots and ticket deflection systems that efficiently handle routine queries, allowing support teams to focus on more complex cases.\n* **Accelerated case resolution:** Use automated drafts to streamline case resolution, ensuring faster response times based on the up-to-date expert knowledge.\n* **Actionable AI agents:** Enable AI agents to perform user actions, such as processing refunds or canceling a subscription, with high accuracy.\n\n**Who we are**\n\nWe are life partners, and passionate about design and AI. Michael previously founded Snips (acq. by Sonos), a privacy-respecting voice AI platform that now powers all voice interactions on Sonos speakers. Marie and Michael previously founded [Motif](https://motif.land), a collaborative docs platform based on Markdown and React. While building Motif, we realized that the tasks of maintaining company expert knowledge up to date and providing stellar customer support are intimately connected, and both can in large part be automated. This led us to build Markprompt.\n\nWe are backed by founders and operators at Algolia, Microsoft, Snowflake, Stripe and Vercel.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/19f7c2ed-c74f-4e4a-b959-454f7645b039)\n\n**Our asks**\n\n* **Introductions:** We're looking for tech-savvy companies processing 1000+ customer support tickets per month. Please let us know if you have connections to these companies, especially folks leading Eng or Customer Support. Please introduce us via [founders@markprompt.com](mailto:founders@markprompt.com).\n* **Book a demo:** [here](https://calendly.com/markprompt/30min).\n\n ",

        "body": "**TL;DR**: phospho enables software engineers to train and build with the latest robotics AI models, even on low-cost hardware. Companies like NVIDIA, Hitachi, [rerun.io](http://rerun.io) and [comma.ai](http://comma.ai) use phospho to control robots intuitively, train advanced models and push the frontier of AI robotics.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/72EOUeDMUYc?feature=shared\n\nImagine asking ChatGPT “What should my robot do next?” with a picture of what your robot sees attached. Add some bells and whistles, and you have VLAs (Vision Language Action models), the latest AI robotics architecture.\n\nVLAs reach never-seen-before levels of generalization, which could finally bring robots out of factories and into our homes. “The ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner” (Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia).\n\nSo why aren’t VLAs more popular in robotics?\n\n# The problem\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90566&key=user_uploads/1345093/14eb12de-bee4-4dd6-8cc8-c84257b14b5c)\n\nFirst, let’s find some data to train your model. Guess what: even if you find public datasets, they likely won’t work for your specific robot and setup. So you’ll need to use some software for humans to control the robots and collect this specific data. Of course, such software usually doesn’t exist or doesn’t work. Today, controllers are built from scratch for every project, by engineers, for engineers.\n\nSecond, you train the model. This is where you shine.\n\nThird, now that you have trained a model, you can’t “just run” your tinkered AI model in a lab on a $20,000 robot arm. You need a lot of software glue to make robots move. For example, powering on a robot can take up to 10 minutes, and keeping it idle requires dozens of specific instructions to avoid breakdowns.\n\nOverall, we found that the traditional robotics software stack is too specific to the available hardware, too closed source, and too prohibitively expensive to reproduce robotics research papers. This is because every robotics team, from garage hobbyists to giants like Figure, Tesla, and Physical Intelligence, build their stacks from scratch and won’t share them.\n\nNobody works together. Robots still suck. How can we reach physical superintelligence with this absurd stack?\n\n# Our solution\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/q7f3XKadKxQ\n\nWe believe robotics is too important to let roboticists do it alone. Robotics is the next step in our civilization, and every human brain should be able to help us reach this goal. Building an intelligent robot should feel as fun as vibe-coding a web app.\n\nThat’s why we are releasing phosphobot, an open-source app to control robots intuitively and train the most powerful AI models for the cheapest robots possible.\n\nWe handle the piping and nitty-gritty, so you can focus on what matters: making your robots do cool things.\n\nphosphobot is written in Python and TypeScript, with software engineers in mind. It’s just another API, with a nice frontend, that you can “pip install” and connect to your stack.\n\nIn the coming weeks, the plan is to support even more affordable and capable robots, let you train even more advanced AI models, and keep the app simple enough so it’s still fun.\n\n# Key features\n\n* 🕹️ Control your robot with a keyboard, a leader arm, a Meta Quest headset or via API\n* 📹 Teleoperate robots to record datasets in LeRobot dataset format\n* 🤖 Train SOTA action models like ACT, gr00t n1 or Pi0\n* 🔥 Use action models to control robots\n* 🌐 Connect remotely to your robots\n* 💻 Run on any OS (macOS, Linux and Windows)\n* 🦾 Compatible with the SO-100, SO-101, WX-250 and AgileX Piper\n* 🔧 Extend it with your own robots and cameras\n\n## Train your first robotic action model today\n\nGo to our Github repo ([phospho-app/phosphobot](https://github.com/phospho-app/phosphobot)) and get started in minutes.\n\nDon’t have a robot? Order one here: [robots.phospho.ai](http://robots.phospho.ai)\n\nWant to integrate custom robots, train more complex models or have a specific request?

In contrast with social media algorithms that optimize for engagement, we’ve designed our system to promote depth and serendipity.\n\n**Motivation:**\n\nWe’ve spent our entire lives learning from personal blogs, essays, and articles on the Internet. Despite advancements in search and recommendations on all the large social media platforms, we still have a hard time consistently finding high-quality writing that is interesting to us. \n\nThat led us to the question:  \n\nIf there are fantastic recommendation systems on closed social media platforms, why isn’t there one for the open internet?\n\nSince prototyping the first solution months ago, we’ve spent countless hours discovering, reading, and sharing great finds that our “Internet buddy” has recommended to us. \n\nWe’re excited to launch the Browser Buddy app – try it now and let us know what you think! \n\n<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/browser-buddy/id6752281959>\n\nIf you have any questions, reach out to [support@browserbuddy.com](mailto:support@browserbuddy.com)",

Anyone could describe an idea, turn it into a mini app, and publish it from their phone.\n\nWhile building it, we realized the problem was much larger.\n\nThe internet is already full of remarkable interactive work: games, simulations, visual explanations, data stories, music toys, and 3D worlds. But it is scattered across personal websites and temporary links.\n\nWe usually discover these experiences through screen recordings on X, watch someone else use them, and lose them when the timeline moves on. There is no simple place to discover this work, follow its creators, or find what they make next.\n\nSo today, we’re launching Whip Web.\n\nIt is a YouTube-style feed where every post is an interactive experience. You can play directly in your browser, search by creator or interest, explore creator channels, and like, comment, or see play counts.\n\nFor creators, Whip turns a link into a channel and an audience. For everyone else, it makes the interactive internet easier to explore.\n\nHow you can help\n\nTry a few experiences and tell us what we should improve or add next.\\\n\\\n<https://whip.run/?utm_source=bookface&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=web-whip&amp;utm_content=launch>",

You can play with what others make, remix it, or describe your own idea and publish it to the feed.\\\n\\\n<https://youtu.be/jIwNViSc-B4>\n\n## **Hey, we're Samagra and Agam**\n\nWe met in high school and have been building and hacking together for the last 4 years. \\\n\\\nWe built Whip because over the past few years, we noticed a growing community of people using AI to vibe-code things purely for self-expression and entertainment.\\\n\\\nBut most existing vibe-coding tools are like individual workspaces. You make something, share a link, and then it disappears into a group chat, a tweet, or a folder. There is no real place for these creations to live, spread, get remixed, and build a community around them.\\\n\\\nSo we built Whip. Its a mobile app where the feed itself is made of interactive AI creations. Every post is something you can tap, swipe, or play with. A trivia game for your friends. A countdown for your event. A tiny game someone made in 2 minutes because it was funny.\\\n\\\nAnd if you like something, you can remix it into you own version and publish it back to the feed. Creating something new is just as simple. Describe what you want and whip builds it on your phone. \\\n\\\nWe want Whip to become the social home for people who make with AI. Not just serious tools or productivity apps, but playful, weird, useful, disposable, personal things too.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101722&key=user_uploads/396588/53d04b8b-a89f-466f-8128-6ef25128455f)\n\n\n## How you can help\n\nDownload Whip and make your first app. Scroll the feed, try a few creations, remix one you like, or describe your own idea and publish it.\\\n\\\nDownload Whip:  <https://whip.onelink.me/iNbJ/92po4rio>",

Justin quickly joined, and all three founders met for the first time when Diandre came to Seattle to perform as [Bandlez](https://www.instagram.com/bandlez/), the music project he co-founded. Justin is an engineer extraordinaire, first cutting his teeth on large-scale data processing during his time at Microsoft Azure. Diandre is a professional musician who has performed all over the world and written music with big names, including [Shaquille O’Neal](https://open.spotify.com/track/2oCzWh04Rt4WBr7StVUCHe)!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78937&key=user_uploads/1320080/71009b68-f2c7-400e-afbc-466111c5784a)\n\n# **🔇** The Problem\n\nMusic production technology has become increasingly democratized over the years, but creating a piece of music that you are proud of is just as challenging as it’s ever been. These days, most music is made by combining multiple audio recordings of individual instruments (called music samples) into a full song. Music sample libraries are easy to use which has led to massive growth for companies who provide them ([Splice,](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/splice) [Output,](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/output) etc), but they have a few key issues:\n\n* Professional music producers are often prohibited from using sample libraries due to [copyright strike concerns](https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/17/21140838/justin-bieber-changes-running-over-asher-monroe-synergy-splice-sample-melody).\n* Amateur music producers feel a lack of authenticity when using sounds made by someone else and struggle to make meaningful changes to them.\n\nGenerative AI offers a unique opportunity to build music creation tools that are easy to use and offer fine-grained artistic control. Unfortunately, existing AI music platforms ([Suno,](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/suno-279f) [Boomy](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/boomy), etc) offer very little customization and next to no ability to modify any generated output.\n\n# **🎵** Our Solution\n\nOur team at Soundry AI has led the charge by launching the first-ever text-to-sample generator. Our proprietary foundational latent diffusion transformer offers state-of-the-art audio quality due to the efforts of our research team and partnerships with leaders in electronic music production. As you can see in [the video below](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT3k4VV5yrs&ab_channel=SoundryAI), musicians like Diandre can use our tool to create unique, high-quality, copyright-free samples perfect for their music projects.\n\nThis past week we released our newest product: [Infinite Sample Packs](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fEfYkkon7YI). Now, all that a user needs to do is click a button to get accurate stylized sounds. Professionals have praised the quality and specificity of the sounds, and amateurs have been thrilled with the simplified interface.\n\n# **📢** Call to Action\n\nIf making music is your thing, we’d love for you to try our sample generator [here!](https://soundry.ai/) We’d be so thankful if you to share our product with all of your musical friends, and if you have any questions then please reach out via [founders@soundry.ai.](mailto:founders@soundry.ai) We can’t wait to hear from you!",

Writing a book is hard— **writers on average take 8-12 months to complete a 100,000-word novel. That’s too slow!** For the rest of us non-writers, we have fleeting passions wanting to turn those interesting fantasies 🧚‍♂️ in our minds into stories. Most of the time, these fantasies remain in our brains 🧠, never shared with others. Because of that, there are fewer good stories in the world, which is why Harry Potter or Game of Thrones seem so precious.\n\nBut it doesn’t have to be this way.\n\n🪄 **The Solution**\n\n**With HeartByte, we make it 10 times easier and faster to write fiction.** 🤩 We build an effortless flow that guides a creator through writing an entire novel 💅. We help users overcome writer’s block ✌️, and provide editing support and workflow management. We enable users to spend more time imagining 👁 and less time writing word by word.\n\nWe want using HeartByte to be like having your **personal writer's studio**, where you can easily exchange ideas, get inspired, and complete each other's sentences with AI.

        "body": "**TLDR:** Rove Miles is the first universal airline mile program. Earn up to 25x miles on everyday spend, hotel stays, flights, and through partner programs—all on top of your existing credit card rewards. Then, redeem those miles effortlessly across 12 global loyalty programs, 140+ airlines, and 200,000+ hotels at up to 90% off.\n\n[https://youtu.be/LsYKowedGn4](https://youtu.be/LsYKowedGn4?feature=shared)\n\nHey everyone! We're [Max](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmorganroth/) and [Arhan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arhanchhabra/), founders of [Rove](http://rovemiles.com), and we're excited to launch the first universal travel loyalty program that works across almost every airline and hotel in the world.\n\nBefore Rove, we founded startups at Wharton and Harvard—connecting people through specialized Bluetooth software and revolutionizing edtech recruiting. Between scaling businesses and attending class, we traveled to over 50 countries for free in business and first class, leveraging credit card points and loyalty transfers. But our friends? They were stuck on the sidelines, locked out by complicated rules, outdated credit requirements, and high fees.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89835&key=user_uploads/815885/c7172baa-a6d9-48fd-89c4-deb60b29c891)\n\n_Arhan and Max_\n\n### **The Problem: Gaps in Accessibility and Usability**\n\nTravel rewards today exclude millions, especially young people. Over 70 million Americans can't access premium travel credit cards, leaving a majority of Gen Z—the generation most eager to travel—unable to earn a meaningful number of miles and points across airline and hotel loyalty programs, which provide discounts of up to 90% compared to standard credit card travel portals. Unlike markets like Hong Kong and Singapore, where earning miles is easy and part of everyday life, Americans face unnecessary complexity and high barriers.\n\n### **Our Solution: Rove Miles**\n\nRove Miles makes travel accessible and rewarding for everyone. We've unified 12 major international loyalty programs into a single, universal currency that's easy to earn (always on top of your existing credit card rewards) and simple to redeem:\n\n* Earn miles on over 7,000 merchants by activating the [Rove Shopping](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rove-shopping/jkklhhheomgefgljanpobgabooknjlbf?authuser=0&hl=en) chrome extension before your purchase.\n* Earn up to 25x miles on hotel bookings made through [Rove](https://rovemiles.com), which can be earned instantly for non-refundable stays to cover your flight there or add extra free nights.\n* Earn 3x bonus miles on flights on top of the miles you get from the airline when booking through [Rove](https://rovemiles.com).\n\nSoon, you'll also earn Rove Miles from dining, in-store purchases, and transferring existing points in from partner programs.\n\n### **Rove’s Transfer Partners**\n\nRove’s initial loyalty program partners are:\n\n* Air France-KLM Flying Blue\n* Air India Maharaja Club\n* Accor Live Limitless\n* Aeromexico Rewards\n* Cathay Pacific Asia Miles\n* Etihad Guest\n* Finnair Plus\n* Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club\n* Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles\n* Qatar Airways Privilege Club\n* Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus\n* Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles\n\nMore programs are coming soon, with our current partnerships covering all three major airline alliances. With Rove Miles, your points become 2-3x more valuable compared to traditional credit card redemptions, even on hotels where high-value redemptions can be even harder to find. Soon, you will be able to use miles on unique travel experiences, such as events, festivals, private jet charters, or flying in zero gravity!\n\n### **Join Us on This Journey**\n\nWe're building Rove Miles to make free annual vacations accessible to everyone, effortlessly. Stop missing out—turn your everyday spend into unforgettable travel experiences.\n\nStay tuned,\n\nMax and Arhan",

We're [Max](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmorganroth/) and [Arhan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arhanchhabra/), founders of [Rove](https://linkedin.com/company/rovecard/), and we're thrilled to introduce the first travel credit card for young adults. Our journeys began at Wharton and Harvard, where we built ventures around specialized Bluetooth software to connect people at events and a B2B edtech recruiting platform for schools and startups. We scaled our ventures by day and slept on planes by night, traveling the world for free.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79108&key=user_uploads/815885/cf150984-2142-40ce-b084-59f3848706f9)\n\n_Arhan and Max_\n\nDespite travel-hacking our way to over 50 countries, none of our friends could do the same. The barriers? Stringent credit requirements based on outdated underwriting algorithms (FICO), ludicrous fees, and antiquated software systems turned the dream of free travel into a complicated puzzle. We may have been able to hack the system, but we always wished for one that didn’t need to be hacked and rewarded users by default instead.\n\n### **The Problem: Gaps in Accessibility and Usability**\n\nRight now, the travel credit card market fails to serve the people who want to travel the most. Existing cards are like computers were in the early 2000s: they work, but they’re expensive, many people can’t access them, and even those who can struggle to use them without help. We’re building the iPhone of travel cards—one that’s easy to use, readily accessible, and seamlessly intuitive. These two market inefficiencies create one of the best opportunities in consumer credit in decades.\n\n### **Our Solution: Rove**\n\nRove is here to democratize reward travel, finally offering the first-ever no-annual-fee travel card for Gen Z. We use advanced algorithms and data aggregation systems to underwrite users in a radically more accessible way. By using people’s cash flow from connecting to their banks, as opposed to outdated data points like mortgages and decades of credit history, we can more accurately underwrite an entirely untapped demographic of users.\n\nBut we didn't stop there—we want reward travel to not only be available to young adults but easy to use too. Our platform introduces the first-ever portal for direct redemption of airline loyalty deals, making the process of traveling the world for free as effortless as it should be. With our alliance of partner airlines, the average Gen Z spender can earn a free annual trip overseas. Soon after our card launch, we’re leveraging better data and software technology to maximize user rewards across an accessible suite of financial products.\n\n### **Experience Rove**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79108&key=user_uploads/815885/bd0013cf-e9b8-4bff-a03f-719f6ebcf17a)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79108&key=user_uploads/815885/6379bf8f-ebfb-4d4f-99e6-e36ba1f54d4c)\n\n### **Join Us on This Journey**\n\nWe're on a mission to make the world more accessible to young adults everywhere by building a financial suite of products geared toward travel. In the short term, that’s our travel card. In the long term, it’s about expanding access to products globally that allow users to travel based on their spending and savings, leveraging our data flywheel to better underwrite the billions of underbanked people across the world.\n\nIf you're tired of missing out on travel opportunities because of credit barriers or complex points systems, Rove is for you. For now, our [waitlist](https://rovecard.com) is only available through the invite code _YCLAUNCH._ The first users to sign up will receive a Founders Edition of Rove.\n\nStay tuned,\n\nMax and Arhan",

During Army training, my ankle almost gave out during a ruck. That's when I realized being fit but fragile is still a liability.\n\n### Problem\n\nFixing my ankle was more painful than the injury itself. PT meant hours off work, generic exercises, and $200 a visit out of pocket. And even then, it only treated the injury, not the underlying weakness.\n\n### Meet Adapted\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99406&key=user_uploads/1032232/d89e036e-c103-4368-8a83-e5ab1a53a7f7)\n\n[Adapted](https://www.adapted.app/) is an AI physical therapist for athletes.

I’m excited to show you what we’re building.\n\n> This feels like upgrading voice dictation on my Mac _making it work how it should work_.\n\nThe desktop experience is the best way to use Aqua yet. It lets you talk easily into any app and comes with:\n\n\\- **Fine-tuning:** can have up to 800 custom words/phrases at a time, no pronunciation tuning required.\n\n\\- **Context Awareness:** automatically identifies relevant words and phrases in the active application. This uses system accessibility APIs (not screenshots, like some others) and is heavily processed on device before inference to preserve privacy.\n\n\\- **Command recognition:** the system now shows you what it's going to do before it does it. \"Deleting…\" or \"Adding to list…\" or \"Fixing Spelling…\"\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86308&key=user_uploads/1652937/f10f3395-e52f-487a-a34f-10b598444c68)\n\nWe've also spent a ton of time getting **better out-of-the-box accuracy.** Our core transcription engine is the most accurate real-time system that we know of. **We scored 3.2% WER on Librispeech clean, significantly better than the next best real-time system we tested (Google) at 5.5%.** We also released a benchmark that tests accuracy & human-friendly formatting which showed that out of the box, Wispr Flow makes 10x as many mistakes as Aqua Voice for emails and technical writing. The full write-up including audio and code is available [here](https://withaqua.com/blog/benchmark-nov-2024).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86308&key=user_uploads/1652937/9762e173-97c9-46b5-9e2e-e7e8ea073105)\n\nEveryone uses dictation for different reasons - I started in sixth grade (dyslexic) with Dragon Professional and always wanted it to be more than a clunky substitute for the keyboard. Hopefully Aqua Desktop can be that for some of you.\n\n\\-Finn",

Imagine dictating to a professional writer who can clean up your phrasing, fill in words, and understand your intent.\n\n🟩 Watch our demo video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwSAKg1YafM):\n\n**🔴 Problem**\n\nDictation still **sucks**:\n\n* It's not very accurate.\n* You have to learn specialized commands.\n* Edits require the keyboard.\n\n[**Finnian Brown**](https://linkedin.com/in/finn-brown-3b0b56113) has never been a very good speller (he’s dyslexic) and has been using dictation software since the sixth grade, when his dad got him set up on Dragon Dictation to write papers for school. It's always been easier for him to dictate—despite the janky software.\n\nDictation has remained surprisingly rigid in the era of LLMs. They make a lot of mistakes (see Siri lmao). All existing dictation services rely on learning a set of specialized commands.\n\nThey struggle to distinguish between filler phrases/commentary and stuff you actually want to write down.\n\n**🌎 Aqua**\n\nAqua innovates on this paradigm by fusing real-time audio and an LLM to understand your intent. It does as much of the writing and formatting as you ask it to.\n\n**Accuracy is King 👑** - Better than Whisper! - we use an MoE transcription architecture to have a lower WER than Whisper-largev3 in real-time.\n\n**Think Don’t Type 🧠** - Aqua can execute arbitrary commands. You don’t need the keyboard. Most people talk **twice as fast** as they can type.\n\n**Make Writing Chill 🏝️** - Aqua reacts naturally to feedback and can recover from mistakes if you tell it to!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79717&key=user_uploads/1653094/f99f4176-5433-45ca-89be-738edeb4746c)\n\n🙏 **Asks**\n\nTry Aqua Voice!

        "body": "**TL;DR:** [Fluently](https://getfluently.app/) is your personal AI English tutor — 20x cheaper than a human tutor and available 24/7. Built for people who already know the basics but want to speak fluently.\n\n### **Problem — Getting fluent in English is hard**\n\n* **Fluency only comes from regular speaking practice:** The only way to truly improve is to speak consistently and iterate on your mistakes. There's no shortcut.\n* **Most language apps aren't built for speaking:** They're essentially games for beginners - they won't give you the real-time speaking practice you'd get from actually talking to someone.\n* **Nobody gives you the honest feedback you need:** Most non-natives feel anxious about their mistakes but never actually hear about them - colleagues stay polite, and even tutors rarely provide the detailed, personalized feedback that would help you truly improve.\n\n### **Solution — Get actionable feedback on every call**\n\n* **Learn on the go:** Fluently is always available for a real-time conversation - just open the app and start speaking. No scheduling, no waiting.\n* **Personalized insights:** Fluently analyzes your real speech and pinpoints exactly where you need to improve — whether it's pronunciation, fluency, or vocabulary.\n* **Actionable feedback:** Practice pronunciation, improve fluency, and grow your active vocabulary to boost your English skills.\n\n### **Who is this for?**\n\n* **Non-native speakers** who want to finally speak English fluently and confidently - not just \"know\" the language, but actually use it in real conversations without hesitation or anxiety.\n* **International companies** who understand that communication efficiency directly impacts business results. Companies already invest in language training for their employees - Fluently makes that investment practical and measurable, helping teams communicate more clearly with clients, partners, and each other.\n\n### **Our ask**\n\n* 🎓 **Intros to multinational companies** that invest resources in their employees' growth, **especially in English learning**. Please, email [yrebryk@getfluently.app](mailto:yrebryk@getfluently.app).\n* **👉 Sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhnAZ-BAuzcKhaB5QFvtLgYHCt6v1Q-r1hKuBMwMkzs8ykjQ/viewform) to get access.** We’re onboarding our users one by one.

Try it on our website!**\n\nHey YC, we’re Dylan and Qiong, the co-founders of Lumona. After working on a product search engine, we’ve decided to build a new general search engine that incorporates those insights, and more, to make search better.\n\n# **❌ The Problem**\n\nIt’s hard to find quality information online to help you decide which product to buy, which restaurant to go to, or whether a red flag is beige. You can easily get a list of links, an AI-generated answer, or even a summary of relevant Reddit threads, but you’ll then have to comb through the many new tabs you open, make sure the AI isn’t giving you fake news, and still go to each thread to make sure the commenters weren’t spam themselves. If search engines know so much about their results and users, why can’t they make something better that integrates all 3 into one result so you don’t have to spend your evening opening and closing tabs?\n\n# **✅ Our Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=84330&key=user_uploads/1635225/ab12b1fe-c995-4798-a98e-6a242e913253)\n\nLumona is our answer to that question. We believe that search should be something that builds trust, reflects what you find valuable on the internet, and, most importantly, helps you find the information you need. Instead of expecting you to blindly trust our AI, we give you reasons to by supporting it with information from real people and platforms you already trust. Instead of expecting you to sort through Reddit comments or YouTube videos to find that one comment or moment, we sift through them for you and give you the information you need, all on the same page. Instead of making decisions harder by giving you contradictory ads so that we can make more money, we give you the information you need to make the best decision for _you_.\n\n<https://youtu.be/bTWQ30DC7as?si=x-JriyasrAETILnF>\n\n# **🙏 Asks**\n\nTry it at [lumona.ai](https://lumona.ai).

Instead of wading through pages of clickbait Google results or adding ‘reddit’ to your search, we deliver you products you’d otherwise spend hours researching for by compiling Reddit and YouTube reviews about the product.\\\n\\\nI’m working on Lumona alongside two fellow MIT Class of 2024s, [Philena Liu](https://linkedin.com/in/philena-liu) (left), our CPO, and [Qiong Zhou Huang](https://linkedin.com/in/qiong-zhou-huang-627243141) (right), our CTO. We have been working together since meeting during our sophomore year at MIT, recently winning HackMIT this past September. As part of MIT’s student-run Web Lab class, we taught over 300 students modern web development. As Gen-Zers ourselves, we’ve grown up being influenced by the content creators we watch every day and buying products online. We’ve spent hours combing over r/SkincareAddiction posts and watching YouTube videos to get to the skincare routines we have right now, and that’s where we want to help.\n\n---\n\n# **❌ The Problem and ✅ Solution**\n\nProduct research takes time. As a teenager, I had acne that was painful and affected my self-esteem, and to solve this problem I was willing to spend hours looking for the right product because if I was wrong I would break out for weeks and make it worse. Before Lumona, I would’ve had to do this:\n\n1. Research on Reddit, YouTube, and Google for what makes a good face wash for the skin type I have (combination)\n2. Search Amazon for “face wash for combination skin”\n3. Look into each of the individual Amazon products\n4. Cross-reference each product with reviews about it on Reddit and YouTube\n   1. Reddit: Google Search “{product name} reddit”\n   2. YouTube: Search on popular skincare influencer’s channels for the product\n5. Decide which product I want to buy\n\nLet’s look at that same process with Lumona:\n\n1. Search on Lumona for “face wash for combination skin”\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79201&key=user_uploads/1635225/b625fcee-a485-453b-91fa-73094129d95c)\n\n2. Research each product on Lumona, with the Reddit reviews and YouTube videos about the product already being associated with it\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79201&key=user_uploads/1635225/210013d4-23c9-4dfa-83b7-83ff2ed85206)\n\n3. Decide which product I want to buy\n\nBy serving Reddit and YouTube reviews directly alongside the product, Lumona simplifies the product research process into one tab and search while giving you more confidence when you’re buying a product.

By offering cutting-edge tools for professionals and amateurs alike, OddsView is the one-stop shop for all sports bettors.\n\n[Here’s a preview!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDu9O6vXqbg)\n\n### **The Team: 👨🧔‍♂️👨👨👨**\n\n[Henri](https://linkedin.com/in/zhanghenri), [Davis](https://linkedin.com/in/davistong), [Akaash](https://linkedin.com/in/akaashp), and [Ajay](https://linkedin.com/in/ajaykoritala) roomed and studied Computer Science together at Rutgers. They later worked at Amazon in NYC where they bonded with Akaash’s high school friend [Anthony](https://linkedin.com/in/anthony-ter) (Verkada) over entrepreneurship and newly legalized sports betting. Henri eventually quit to become a full-time sports betting consultant, where he experienced firsthand the lack of modern betting tools. Together, he and Davis built a profitable live tennis betting tool for themselves before bringing on the team to build a comprehensive solution that later became OddsView.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/rPtgZ-tnJmvtrGr9TpT2N0qpOsk5cX00C6r3L_7ZKeVx2yE-2NaEAmgxGk0S4QMKqiBU_dKtjoZ0OWZa5pv2moZsY1lxW6heb4ru_lgAeWUYRqmjO8JG0x_hUWXSvXTv56Sx_5T6Qzib_gRibSFU4bY)\n\n### **Our Ask 🙏:**\n\nPlease share our website with any friends or family who sports bet! 🥳\n\nAnd please follow our [twitter](https://twitter.com/odds_view) and [linkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/oddsview)!",

We are a social, bid/ask style marketplace with counterparty security and favorable financing terms.\n\n❌ **The problem**\n\nThe secondary ticketing marketplace is fundamentally broken. Fees have skyrocketed, while the user experience has deteriorated. As giants such as Ticketmaster and SeatGeek have moved towards lucrative primary sales in partnership with large venues, they have disenfranchised a whole class of live event attendees.\n\nMany have naturally aggregated themselves on grey markets on legacy social media platforms (think Facebook marketplace and Reddit) to avoid institutional barriers and attempt to find better pricing/execution. These social platforms are not designed to house this type of exchange.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78886&key=user_uploads/1410116/aaead000-ef6c-4e10-ac85-0cc03a7a3b9c)\n\n🔥  **Our solution – the StockX of tickets** (StockX uses a bid/ask style model for collectible sneakers and streetwear)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78886&key=user_uploads/1410116/8ae6c463-3456-4f1c-83c5-4c63c4626f4d)\n\n* A two-sided marketplace for tickets: buyers can opt to “buy now” or bid, while sellers can opt to “sell now” or ask for a higher price, all with a publicly viewable transaction book\n* Counterparty security: CrowdVolt intermediates transactions with secure payment processing, avoiding fraudulent activity and scams; third-party issued tickets are automatically transferred between counterparties\n* Social: gone are the days of buying or selling from an anonymous blue dot on Ticketmaster; concerts are communal events meant to be experienced with others, so we’ve made buying and selling a social experience with social media integration and messaging\n* Financing: sellers do not wait until event occurrence to receive payouts, but rather receive payment within days, alleviating the cash flow burden\n\nCheck out our promo [here](https://youtu.be/WszI6Jfi650)!\n\n**🌃 Background**\n\n[Josh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-karol-4b1a97143/) and [Max](https://linkedin.com/in/max-hammer-2360571b2) grew up down the street from each other, while [Aria](https://linkedin.com/in/ariamohseni) and Josh met in college. We have diverse professional backgrounds across tech, finance, and consulting, but a common love for EDM (Aria is also a DJ, having played at iconic New York venues including the Williamsburg Hotel and Virgo Night Club in front of crowds numbering 2k+). We are avid attendees of this genre of events (80+ in 2023), and know the secondary marketplace experience through the existing mediums is poor, so have opted to rebuild it ourselves.\n\n_A few years ago…_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78886&key=user_uploads/1410116/adf1e869-6351-48ec-b912-d88b7b01efa3)\n\n_Now!_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78886&key=user_uploads/1410116/a49dd802-e56f-44fa-8d9c-64d0af809737)\n\n**Our ask 🙏**\n\nWe’ve started in our hometown, New York, with our favorite genre of music, and will look to expand to other geographies and primary point of sale in the future.\n\n* If you know anyone working in the live events space – ranging from artists to event managers to promoters – let us know! We’d love to connect.\n* If you’re a fan of dance music, festivals, or raves (or have friends who are!) – hit us up at [founders@crowdvolt.com](mailto:founders@crowdvolt.com)!\n* Sign up now at [https://www.crowdvolt.com](https://www.crowdvolt.com/) if you’re in New York, or join the waitlist for your city at <https://www.crowdvolt.com/waitlist>!",

        "tagline": "Meet Stompy, the world's first open-source general-purpose humanoid robot",
        "body": "At [K-Scale Labs](https://kscale.dev/), we are building the world’s first open-source general-purpose humanoid robot.\n\n### The Problem\n\nIn recent years, domains like NLP and computer vision have benefited enormously from the [bitter lesson](http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html) that general methods that are able to leverage computation are ultimately the most effective. The ability to scrape the internet for large, in-the-wild datasets has brought these fields from working well on academic benchmarks to becoming useful real-world products.\n\nHowever, although [there is evidence](https://robotics-transformer-x.github.io/) that the same scaling laws likely apply to robotics as well, the field is stymied by lack of access to the same large, in-the-wild datasets that work well in other domains, resulting in foundation models with poor cross-embodiment and out-of-distribution generalization. While there has been a [surge of investment](https://agilityrobotics.com/news/2023/opening-robofab-worlds-first-factory-for-humanoid-robotsnbsp-xxna2-g9mhr-rnk52) in trying to grow these datasets, we view the [capital-intensive](https://www.therobotreport.com/figure-raises-70m-to-commercialize-humanoids/), [factory-first](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/figure-announces-commercial-agreement-with-bmw-manufacturing-to-bring-general-purpose-robots-into-automotive-production-302036263.html) approach as unlikely to generate the scale and diversity of data required to make these robotics foundation models match the state-of-the-art seen in other fields.\n\n### Our Solution\n\nWe designed and built a fully-featured humanoid robot that anyone with a 3D printer and some time can build on their own. We are releasing it for anyone to build themself, along with an operating system that will enable the robot to perform basic task and learn from experience.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79758&key=user_uploads/216598/4ba0e510-77a0-4703-8df4-4d04593c537a)\n\nOur robot, Stompy, is a 4-foot humanoid robot featuring the claw gripper from the recent [Universal Manipulation Interface](https://umi-gripper.github.io/) paper, designed so that each part fits on a 256 × 256 3D printer bed, with a total bill of materials costing less than $10,000. We’re using carbon fiber PAHT, but in principle, any reasonably strong plastic could be used instead. Our actuators are quasi-direct drives with between 6:1 and 8:1 reduction ratios, meaning that all the joints on our robot are low-inertia and back-drivable, with nominal torque values from 3-12 Nm. Each robot features a hot-swappable 48V 15Ah battery pack, which can power it for over an hour.\n\nWe started designing Stompy from scratch shortly after the start of the YC batch. In the last three months, we built five different iterations of the hardware as we’ve ironed out issues with assembly, part reliability, motor torque, and gripper design. Having worked with a number of robots in my professional career, including the Stretch from Hello Robot, the Spot from Boston Dynamics, and the early prototypes of the Optimus from Tesla, I feel confident saying that we have the best general-purpose hardware design for our BOM cost - and we are going to give it away for free.\n\n![Image](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GILolqbaEAAzDUv?format=jpg&name=large)\n\nAdditionally, we have built the software tooling to train policies in simulation, using simulators like Isaac from Nvidia, and translate those policies to the robot. This enables anyone to get started developing models for simple tasks for free. We will also release the VLM we’ve trained in-house as a foundation model for the robot perception stack, enabling developers to learn task-specific policies in a data-efficient manner.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79758&key=user_uploads/216598/2379dd19-b364-4990-958c-007b258bc1d7)\n\n### About Us\n\nOur CEO ([Ben](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/216598/linkedin_redirect?key=f2e912c331dc16e3f6c704008aeced6a0055e4ec)) is a robotics researcher and engineer who has worked on robotics foundation models at Tesla and Meta AI. At Tesla, he wrote the CUDA kernel behind the voxel occupancy network, which served as the first perception foundation model to run in the Optimus. At Meta, his papers on speech and robotics representation learning have been cited over 2000 times.\n\n### Our Ask\n\nIf you are interested in either building, buying, or developing a humanoid robot, please send an email to [ben@kscale.dev](mailto:ben@kscale.dev) with your request. We’re working towards a future where anyone with a few 3D printers and some scrappiness can start a robot factory, and anyone who wants a humanoid robot will be able to get one.",

You carry a name from Gmail into the CRM, a time from the CRM into Calendly, a note from Calendly into a doc. AI showed up and mostly became an eleventh window to paste into. \r\n\r\nSauna is a hybrid of AI and software standing on one shared brain. It holds your context and hands you real software built on top of it. You talk to it like a chatbot and use what it builds like an app: software for the path you repeat, AI for the edge that never repeats. Keep it to yourself, or share the brain with your team. \r\n\r\nThe clearest way to see it is a tool doing what its whole category cannot. An ordinary Calendly shows a stranger your free slots. Your Calendly writes the invite email itself, because it knows how the two of you know each other, and it offers a board member the slot over your gym block, because it knows which of your busy hours bend and for whom. \r\n\r\nWordware is the team behind it, 15 people backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator with a $30M seed, the largest in YC's history. We build from an office in the Presidio, fifty metres from Crissy Field beach, and we work absurdly hard because we can see and feel the outcome every day.",

Domain experts and engineers can now iterate 20x faster with prebuilt tools, API deployment, tracing, and more.\n\nCurrently, prompting is mostly done by engineers inside the code base.

Our clients range from AI tinkerers developing their ideas to large companies using Wordware as their whole LLM backend.\n\nIt’s a tool (an IDE) that enables you to quickly build custom AI agents for specific use cases, like legal contract generation, marketing content automation, invoice analysis, candidate screening, generating PRDs, and many more. We call applications built on Wordware ‘WordApps’ because you can create them using natural language—in other words, using words (pun intended).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82674&key=user_uploads/89898/b9693831-0217-438e-a787-e99a4d9d7031)\n\nOur core belief is that the domain expert—not the engineer—knows what good LLM output looks like. For example, lawyers building legal SaaS need to be deeply involved in the process, and working directly in the codebase or going back and forth with engineers isn’t the way to go. Most of our clients are cross-functional teams, including less technical members, who need to collaborate with engineers on LLM applications, such as assessing prompt outputs, and care about the speed of iterations.\n\nWe are in production with 7 YC Companies and looking to give other early-stage companies with their AI Stack on fire unreasonable amounts of attention. Start for free or book a demo at [www.wordware.ai.](https://www.wordware.ai/)\n\nI met Robert (my CTO) at the University of Cambridge.

        "body": "Hey everyone! We're Allan and Lawrence, and we're building Willow.\n\n**TLDR**: Willow is an AI dictation app that writes anywhere on your computer. Designed for those who rely on email, messaging, and AI prompting workflows to work 4x faster.\n\n→ [Try it for free on Mac.](https://WillowVoice.com)\n\nYou can get set up in minutes and start dictating right away.\n\nLaunch video: https://youtu.be/8q9FRS8Km5U\n\n### **Why we’re building Willow Voice**\n\nWe spent an entire year pivoting across different industries before landing on Willow.\n\nWe started out building for assisted living facilities. The product didn’t land, but we discovered that dictation was a tool to help them stay connected and independent. That showed us how powerful voice could be.\n\nThen, we pivoted to building for medical clinics. We saw how AI scribes were saving doctors hours on documentation and letting them focus on patient care.\n\nThrough all these pivots, one thing became clear. Voice dictation is a superpower for anyone who types a lot. It’s 4x faster and easier than manual typing. \n\nWhy isn’t voice the default way we interact with our computers? Because the technology just wasn’t there—until now.\n\nThat insight led us to build Willow: fast, precise, and personalized voice dictation designed for how we work today.\n\n### **The solution: Willow Voice**\n\nWhat makes Willow special is that it’s not just basic voice typing. It’s smart, fast, and sounds like _you_. Here’s how:\n\n* **Context-awareness**: Willow looks at what you’re working on so it can get technical terms, names, and phrases right.\n* **Custom dictionaries**: You can add your own words—like company names, industry terms, or team slang—so they’re always spelled correctly.\n* **Smart correction and formatting**: Willow automatically fixes mistakes and adds structure—like formatting emails, breaking up paragraphs, and handling punctuation.\n* **Personalization** _(beta)_: We’re working on making Willow sound just like you—adjusting tone and style depending on what you’re writing.\n* **Privacy**: Willow runs in the cloud for speed and accuracy, but we never store or collect your voice or data. Privacy is our top priority, and it’s built into everything we do. There’s an optional, opt-in setting for users who want to help improve the model, completely anonymized.\n\nIt’s 40%+ more accurate than built-in dictation tools, works in under a second, and is so good that most users replace nearly all their typing with it.\n\n### **Who’s using Willow**\n\nPeople with heavy typing workflows love Willow because it helps them move faster and get more done. This includes: \n\n* **Engineers at YC** companies use Willow to prompt AI tools like Cursor up to 4x faster.\n* **Managers at Github, Canva, and Webflow** rely on it to brainstorm, take notes, and write docs hands-free.\n* **Sales teams** use Willow to reply instantly on Slack, email, and CRM tools.\n* **Busy professionals** drowning in email use Willow to clear out their inbox in minutes, not hours.\n\n### **Our ASK**\n\n**Try Willow Voice** → [WillowVoice.com](http://WillowVoice.com)\n\nIt helps you get work done 4x faster, just by talking rather than typing.\n\nIt’s free to start and works instantly on Mac. We’d love to hear what you think!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90217&key=user_uploads/1946827/bc11a0ad-17c4-4f8e-b7e8-339fa9fea0bb)\n\n",

        "body": "**TL;DR:** BeeBettor makes sports betting simple. Research and make your bets in one place without having to cycle through 40+ apps.\n\n### **The Team 👨‍👨‍👦**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83852&key=user_uploads/383908/6a3d95cc-5a45-4f6d-9168-9801c5a4ceac)\n\n[Jordan](https://linkedin.com/in/jordan-murphy-645319178) is a Math graduate from the University of Waterloo who put his degree to use by becoming a professional sports bettor before being banned from most recreational sportsbooks for winning too much.\n\n[Matthew](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathyou-wolfe) is a Computer Science graduate from the University of Waterloo who saw how well Jordan was doing with his betting and worked with him to automate a lot of the process. BeeBettor v1 was born.\n\nWe’ve been friends since the first grade and have lived together throughout university.\n\n### **The Problem 🚩**\n\nCurrently, sports bettors download more than 40 sports betting apps to get the full experience. At each one, they must go through a long KYC process. This can take months to complete. Then once their 40 accounts are active and funded, finding the best price is a painstaking process involving third-party tools to search available offers.\n\n### **The Solution 💸**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83852&key=user_uploads/383908/1ccaf241-6e2b-438b-84fb-924894b931ba)\n\n[BeeBettor](https://beebettor.com/) aggregates all these accounts into one app and automatically gives sports bettors the best price. We’re currently in a closed beta with one sports betting company that allows users to place bets through our app.\n\nOur GTM is a subscription power tool that allows users to research sports betting picks and shop around for the best price. We’ve reached **$10.4k MRR** and grown a user base that enables us to learn and iterate fast. This product is building the foundation of our vision regarding both the technology and the users.\n\n### **Why now? 🚨**\n\nRecent changes in the sports betting industry have made it easier to take a sportsbook live in most states. Coupled with the fact that the top two operators handle over 80% of the legally wagered dollars in the United States, it means there is a _very_ long tail of sports betting companies struggling to get a share of the market. They are desperate for users and want to work with us to solve that.\n\n### **Our Ask 🙏**\n\n* If you know someone who works at a sports betting company, we’d love to talk to them. Contact us via email ([**founders@beebettor.com**](mailto:founders@beebettor.com)) if you know someone!",

        "body": "# **TL;DR:**\n\nEmergent is the best vibe coding tool for transforming your ideas into fully functional, production-ready apps. No developers are required.\n\n# **🚀 Introducing Emergent 🚀**\n\nEmergent is your on-demand CTO and founding engineer, reinventing product development. Our state-of-the-art (SOTA) coding agents deliver production-ready, full-stack applications with stunning UI and real backend, transforming ideas into market-ready products. No developers are required.\n\nWe go beyond just prototypes and mockups. Emergent ships fully functional apps with real backend, databases, and integrations -- built and deployed without ever leaving the platform.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/lT2dRng4fc0\n\n### **😖 The Problem:**\n\nShipping products is hard for non-technical builders, due to expensive engineering talent, inflexible no-code platforms, or AI tools that produce half-baked prototypes. As a result, most ideas never make it past the whiteboard or overcome the barriers to real-world execution.\n\n### **🤓 Our Solution:**\n\nEmergent redefines how a product gets built. At its core, Emergent is more than a coding assistant. It's a fully integrated platform that autonomously builds, tests, and ships software. What Emergent stands for: \n\n* Conversation-to-code transformation: Describe your product in plain language — Emergent handles architecture, logic, and implementation.\n* Fully Autonomous End-to-End Development: Our agents plan, build, test, and debug apps fully autonomously to produce shippable apps.\n* Built-in deployment: Ship fast and learn faster. Emergent manages the entire product lifecycle, from concept to customers.\n\n### **👷🏽 Why We're Building This**\n\nEmergent aims to democratize access to advanced software creation, empowering new builders to turn their visions into reality without traditional barriers. We’ve watched great ideas get stuck on whiteboards because building them was too hard, expensive, or slow. As engineers and builders, we saw that AI could change this by writing code, truly understanding what’s needed, and building complete solutions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90629&key=user_uploads/529149/9ae44e4c-78fd-4811-9566-0f53818ded4c)\n\n### **🥷🏼 Emergent In Action**\n\nJust two weeks after our alpha launch, users built over 10,000 apps on Emergent. These range from simple, elegant landing pages to complex SaaS tools like AI notetakers, Slack bots, and Figma plugins — endless possibilities.\n\nHere are some apps built by our users:\n\n* https://youtu.be/coGyUTUrpJY\n* https://youtu.be/yXdk_feMJ4E\n* https://youtu.be/etipqXln6zY\n\n_Please note: Emergent is still invite-only, but we’ll be launching to the public soon. Want early access? Use code: #**EMERGENTFORYC**_\n\n### **🦄 Team**\n\nEmergent was founded by twin brothers **Mukund Jha (CEO)** and **Madhav Jha (CTO)**, who are dedicated to democratizing product development and making it more accessible.\n\n* Mukund was previously Co-Founder/CTO at Dunzo -- India's first quick commerce offering (backed by Google and Reliance). He is a graduate of Columbia Engineering and has experience working at Google.\n* Madhav got his PhD in Theoretical Computer Science from Penn State University and was a von Neumann postdoctoral fellow at Sandia National Labs. He was the founding member of the research team that built and shipped Amazon Sagemaker.\n\nOutside of work, the Jha brothers enjoy spending time with family and friends in both San Francisco and Bengaluru.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90629&key=user_uploads/529149/7a9a91b8-2795-4fb5-87a5-14fc77d238c3)\n\nxoxo\n\nTeam Emergent 🫡\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90629&key=user_uploads/529149/7f26b476-30f1-47f5-bbe1-b042c03c58a5)\n\n",

        "body": "Hey everyone, we're Marcos and Harrison, co-founders of Palmier (YC S24).\\\n\\\n**TL;DR**\\\nPalmier Pro is a video editor built for AI, where Claude and Codex can edit your timeline directly: trimming, reordering, and generating footage. We used it to make 15+ cinematic AI launch videos for YC companies and it's now open-source and free to download at [palmier.io](http://palmier.io).\\\n\\\n**The Problem**\\\nMaking AI videos today means bouncing between tools constantly.\\\nGeneration.\n\n* You generate a clip in Runway or Higgsfield, import it into Premiere, realize one section doesn't work, go back to the generation tool, regenerate, reimport. That loop repeats dozens of times per video.\n\nIteration.\n\n* Because generation and editing live in separate apps, your workspace is a mess and it becomes extremely hard to keep track of good takes, bad takes, reference images, and reference videos.\n\nRepetition.\n\n* You still spend hours sorting through footage, finding the right takes, and manually adding keyframes, effects, and captions. It eats into your productivity and leaves you with less time for the actual creative work.\n\n\\\n**Our Solution**\\\nWe built a full-fledged professional video editor with two things in mind.\n\nWe made AI video a primitive, not an add-on. For each clip, we track the prompt, model, and references so you can iterate directly inside the timeline instead of bouncing between apps.\n\nWe made everything operable by AI. By using our built-in agent, or connecting to yours via MCP, AI agents can help:\n\n* Save hours of work by automating the grunt work in editing: finding key moments in long videos, captions, file organization, and more.\n* Create first draft edits from your footage. The tools let AI understand your videos and draft a first cut directly in the timeline.\n* Use AI generation models to create footage, b-roll, sound effects, voiceovers, and music and drop it directly into your project.\n\n\\\n<https://youtu.be/yPm224dLmVI>\n\n\\\n**Asks**\n\nDownload Palmier Pro at [palmier.io](http://palmier.io) — it's free and open source.\n\nFollow us on [X](https://x.com/) and [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/).\n\nIf you work a lot with AI video or are looking to explore it, we would love to chat.

And this only gets worse as the codebases and teams get larger. Furthermore, context switches get more frequent, and general productivity starts to decline.\n\n# **🔑 Solution**\n\nPalmier tackles this by having an individually trained AI model for each unique codebase. This ensures the most accurate and precise understanding of the code.\n\nPalmier lives in your GitHub repository, and thoroughly checks every PR request:\n\n* Palmier automatically creates a concise yet precise description of the changes being made, trains on every past PR made, and opens issues for the most accurate context. No more guessing games trying to find why a change was implemented.\n\n  ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83365&key=user_uploads/1645879/576e5722-9289-4f48-b894-a8e20662c982)\n\n* Palmier scans your changes and suggests improvements: this can be as simple as variable name changes to more complex changes, such as performance optimizations. With a couple of clicks, you can implement these suggestions and commit them without leaving GitHub.\n\n  ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83365&key=user_uploads/1645879/4f35aa2d-445f-4ce4-9e79-e2c260aa64db)\n\n* Palmier will scan CI/CD issues and suggest fixes to failed tests that are related to the code changes (coming soon).\n\nWith Palmier chat, you can onboard any codebase 10x quicker. Whether it’s understanding what certain code does, how it interacts with other components, or where in your code a certain feature is implemented, Palmier gives you the most accurate answers and avoids hallucinating by always citing its sources.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83365&key=user_uploads/1645879/6536e3cb-8477-47b8-85aa-0bd178dd01f4)\n\n# \n\n# **🚀 The Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83365&key=user_uploads/1645879/5ce7d590-a9d3-464c-81a3-53f7e30fb4a8)\n\n[Marcos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcosrico) CEO (left), [Harrison](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harrison-tin-a260321b3/) CTO (right)\n\nThe Palmier team consists of Marcos and Harrison, both graduates of UC Berkeley with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. With experience working at big tech like LinkedIn and Microsoft, we started Palmier to tackle the productivity problems we personally faced while working there: large code review cycles, many review iterations, and onboarding never-ending codebases. We are both extremely passionate about improving software developers’ lives and are on a mission to make every developer do what we love doing most - building! Feel free to reach out to any of us at any time!

        "body": "**tl;dr:** You’re probably a great dev but a terrible marketer, and you should use video because we’re making it cheap and easy thanks to our SOTA deepfake model and platform.\n\n[Check out my video message to you:](https://youtu.be/q8xAigH8HbE)\n\n### **The problem**\n\n**Video is expensive** to produce. It is used for branding rather than performance and is usually the last resort employed after everything is exhausted (ads, SEO, etc.). Yet, it is the **highest performing media** out there. It can engage leads and clients (branding, masterclasses), sell (UGC), and make internal documents more engaging (FAQ, trainings).\n\n### **The solution**\n\nBy building a **SOTA deepfake model** and a **platform to generate videos**, we’re making it insanely easy to create and grow your audience with video, regardless of your goals: \n\n* **Clone yourself** with 2 minutes of video, or use one of our avatars\n* Input a text or voice script \n* Generate a **fully edited, engaging video** complete with subtitles & media in a few clicks\n\nAll of it is also **available via our API** 👀\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82652&key=user_uploads/1144769/9d686868-b27d-40d5-94b4-16e0e1fa3731)\n\n**What’s magic?**\n\n* Make it engaging with body language control & camera angles\n* Preview your video before generating it\n* Get a ready-to-post video in 2 minutes (subtitles, media, etc.)\n\n### **Use cases**\n\n**Branding**\n\nSocial media is where you can do the most business. **Even if you’re shy**, you should leverage video on social media to share stories, knowledge, and engage. **If you record ONE good 2-minute video** of yourself, you’re **set for life.** \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82652&key=user_uploads/1144769/70427a3a-f3ea-45f2-859f-60f892b2107a)\n\nWe just released a feature that will help you generate your **first LinkedIn video** and get ahead of the release of their “shorts” feature - try it out!\n\n**Education** \n\nOne of the most effective marketing strategies is to **educate your prospects** on how to solve their pain - you can use lead magnets (free training videos in exchange for their email or action on their part), or generate video documentation on your platform to convert/upsell.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82652&key=user_uploads/1144769/8b5b68a7-bd2f-4ab5-8373-a0ee0b8ac075)\n\n**Promotion (screencasts, UGC)**\n\nHaving influencers sell your product is a huge pain: you need to find them, brainstorm ideas with them, pay them, give them an affiliate plan, etc. How cool would it be to generate **100 ads for your product effortlessly**? That’s what we allow doing with our UGC avatars. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82652&key=user_uploads/1144769/71bf797c-5bed-4da8-a407-280d16a53e49)\n\n**Entertainment**\n\nYouTuber Kwebblekop (15m subscribers) has created an automated pre-production pipe that then calls our API. He generates **1000 shorts/month** with the platform, and his channel is growing with an entirely automated workflow.\n\n### **The founders**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82652&key=user_uploads/89898/1996a343-1054-43cf-b460-7ae01c51e5e3)\n\nWe met 10 years ago while working at French scale-up Teads. After our first failed startup together in 2016, I (Laodis) worked on several projects involving video: movies, masterclasses, TikTok (25k subscribers)… But during all of it, **the hardest part was production**. Working on AI projects last year, it became obvious that the single pain that was the most meaningful to solve was helping people access video without the production costs and effort getting in the way. \n\n### **Our Asks 👇**\n\n* You can generate your first videos right now by [filling out this form](https://tally.so/r/mOGgLK) to **get an onboarding code** and pinging me on Twitter ([@LaodisOfficial](https://x.com/LaodisOfficial))\n* If you want to play around **with our API**, reach out to [@BrivaelLp](https://x.com/brivaellp) on Twitter",

It records your trips, uploads them securely to the cloud, and gives you evidence in case of incidents.\\\n→ **100% free to use on iOS & Android**\n\nDownload here:[ https://onelink.to/fk9tyg](https://onelink.to/fk9tyg)\n\n**🎥 Demo Video**\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz5eFEN_WNw\n\n**The Problem: Dashcams today are too expensive, messy, and complicated**\n\nDashcams are incredibly valuable: some insurers offer **up to 30% discounts** to drivers who are equipped with one, and footage can make all the difference in resolving accidents or preventing fraud.\n\nYet most drivers still don’t use them.\n\nWe’ve spent weeks testing the most popular dashcams on the market. What did we find?\n\n💸 High cost (up to $550)\\\n🔧 Installation headaches — some even require professional wiring\\\n📼 Local-only footage (SD cards, no cloud)\\\n🚙 Easy to steal if left in the car\n\n📸 Here's what that looks like in real life:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91925&key=user_uploads/1979026/14f1457a-7457-4463-9d3d-7e08e114cd81)\n\n**Our Solution: Weel replaces all of that with a simple app**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91925&key=user_uploads/1979026/189d2815-2212-4495-80f4-d82616412f65)\n\n\\\nWeel is a smartphone app that offers:\n\n* **External dashcam** — Records the road ahead and provides incident evidence in case of an accident\n* **Internal dashcam** — Designed for professional drivers (taxis, VTCs, delivery) to ensure security and accountability\n* **Smart navigation** — Real-time GPS guidance with traffic-aware routing\n* **Cloud & encryption** — Video footage is uploaded via Wi-Fi and encrypted for secure storage\n* **Accident analysis** _(in beta)_ — Automatically analyzes and describes what happened during a crash, to simplify reporting and defend the driver\n\n**Why are we building this?**\n\nFor months, we’ve been speaking with both professional and everyday drivers — many shared stories of accidents where, without any footage, they lost time, money, and even saw their insurance premiums double. They had no way to defend themselves.\n\nWe believe that access to protection, evidence, and safer driving shouldn’t be a luxury — this kind of technology should be available to **everyone**, for **free**.\n\n**What’s next?**\n\nOur goal is to develop a full suite of AI computer vision features such as:\n\n* **Real-time alerts** — Warnings for risky driving behavior to help prevent incidents\n* **Augmented reality navigation** — Smarter, clearer GPS guidance using AR overlays\n* **Video-based traffic reports** — Automatic detection of traffic jams, hazards, and incidents from user dashcams\n\nto create a large, connected and safe driver network improving traffic flow across cities.\\\n\\\n**🙏 Ask**\n\nWant to help us make driving safer for everyone?\\\nTry Weel for free today on iOS & Android →[ ](https://onelink.to/fk9tyg)[https://onelink.to/fk9tyg](https://onelink.to/fk9tyg%5C) \\\n\\\nIf you have feedback, product ideas, or just want to connect — feel free to reach out at [**raphael@weel.live**](mailto:raphael@weel.live).

        "body": "# **TL;DR**\n\n **Fast, Scalable Analysis:** Simplifine’s fine-tuned LLMs orchestrate Agent Graphs for complex data and literature analysis at scale, making it 10x faster—all powered by natural language.\n\n**Tailored for Researchers**: Our solution integrates the entire research workflow, from literature search to note-taking, citation management, and analysis. Focus on your research without the hassle of tools that don’t scale with your data.\n\n**No Programming Needed**: Researchers shouldn’t need to learn new languages or wait for engineers to analyze big datasets. Our fine-tuned LLMs enable experts to conduct large-scale analysis using complex techniques—no programming required.\n\n### **Team**\n\nWe’re [Raveen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raveen-kariyawasam-84b368295/), [Ali](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alikav/), and [Ege](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ege-kaan-duman-445731173/)—longtime friends from the University of Oxford. Raveen and Ege are Rhodes Scholars, while Ali is a PhD student in Healthcare AI at Oxford. Together, we’ve authored over 30 publications & articles across 10+ fields at top institutions/organizations like the University of Oxford, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Duke, McKinsey, and the World Health Organization. Having experienced the outdated research processes firsthand, we’re now on a mission to change that with Simplifine!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83568&key=user_uploads/1641010/7e05728d-7810-4f97-88ac-fd5a1f4da5fb)\n\n### **Problem**\n\nAs Oxford researchers, PhDs, and Rhodes Scholars, we’ve worked across various fields and institutions. But no matter the context, we’ve consistently faced the same challenge: **_managing a chaotic array of tools and coordinating with multiple people in our research pipeline._**\n\n·      **Complex Citation and Code Conversion:** We spend countless hours managing citations, converting papers into code, and ensuring our data is correctly processed to work with that code before we can even begin analysis.\n\n·      **Time-Consuming Scaling:** Scaling that code to handle larger datasets becomes even more time-consuming, adding to the complexity.\n\n·      **Collaboration Delays:** Large-scale analysis requires collaborating with engineers and data scientists to optimize computationally intensive experiments. This leads to significant delays, as everyone needs to get up to speed and manage tools for data analysis alongside citation management and figure generation.\n\n### **Solution**\n\n[Simplifine](https://www.simplifine.com) consolidates every aspect of the research process into **one intuitive platform, supercharged with fine-tuned LLMs and Agent Graphs**. Whether you’re conducting a literature search, managing sources, writing, coding experiments, or generating figures across data warehouses—_Simplifine handles it all with natural language._\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83568&key=user_uploads/1641010/d3dc15cd-317e-4739-b7f6-3ae5c3476cb6)\n\nDesigned specifically for researchers, our platform eliminates the inefficiencies and frustrations of juggling multiple tools. With LLM agents at your side, you can tackle large-scale analysis from the start, moving as quickly as your mind does!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83568&key=user_uploads/1641010/9183de53-5e62-4b43-a1d7-fe571dceba9a)\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nWe need your help to spread the word and sign up to use Simplifine – [www.simplifine.com](https://www.simplifine.com)\n\nIf you know anyone in academia or industry who conducts research—whether they read, write or code—please connect us with them!\n\nOur email: [founders@simplifine.com](mailto:founders@simplifine.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83568&key=user_uploads/1641010/7291b438-cdbe-42c3-9452-4a3fa0fbb694)\n\n",

With faster consumption habits, finding specific information for work or topics you care about often ends up with you prompting an LLM or typing into a search bar.\n\nYou can subscribe to newsletters, but they tend to be lengthy and rarely specific enough for the applications or areas that matter to you. More than half of them remain unopened, and less than 1% actually lead to a click-through.\n\nThen, there are podcasts, web articles, and blog posts scattered across the web and your different devices. Not to mention research papers, which hold highly valuable insights but are hard to find through a simple browser search and often end up unnoticed.\n\n## 📜 **Knowledge back on a scroll**\n\net al. turns scrolling into a smarter habit. You tell us your interests and what sources you follow and we curate a personalized feed of short insights you can scroll through daily.\n\nWe use LLMs to extract content from your newsletters, research papers, podcasts, and more by navigating through all the relevant links to identify the original piece of information.

        "tagline": "Open-source, local-first alternative to Claude Desktop: an AI coworker with a memory of your work as plain Markdown, and work surfaces you can build yourself.",
        "body": "**TL;DR**\n\nRowboat is an open-source AI coworker with two parts. (1) Memory: it turns your email, meetings, and notes into a living knowledge graph, saved as plain Markdown files on your disk. (2) Work surfaces: a built-in email client, meeting notetaker, notes, and browser, plus apps you can build or install from the community. The assistant helps inside the work itself, not just in chat.\n\n16,600+ GitHub stars - Front page of Hacker News twice in 2026.\n\n<https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat> ·[ https://www.rowboatlabs.com](https://www.rowboatlabs.com)\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et5yQABJ3xI>\n\nHey, we're Arjun and Ramnique.\n\nAt our previous startup, we built a deep-learning product for enterprise support reps at Fortune 100 brands like P&amp;G. The models took live notes, suggested replies, and recommended actions while reps were on calls or handling emails. Coinbase acquired us in 2021. One lesson stuck: it's not enough for the AI to be right. The help has to show up where the work is happening.\n\nSo we built Rowboat around what we call \"work surfaces\": dedicated areas for email, meetings, notes, browser, and parallel coding, where the assistant helps inside the workflow itself rather than only through chat.\n\n* **Email client:** Rowboat has a simple email client that sorts incoming emails into important vs. everything else, and pre-creates drafts for important emails. As you edit and send emails, it takes notes on your style, so future drafts get closer to your voice.\n* **Meeting notes:** We built a Granola-style local meeting notetaker. Notes are stored as plain Markdown files on your machine. After a meeting, Rowboat feeds the notes back into the knowledge graph and updates the relevant people, project, and topic notes.\n* **Browser:** We added a built-in browser, isolated from your main one, where you can log in only to the accounts you want the assistant to help with. The assistant uses browser-use skills to navigate websites.\n* **Parallel coding:** The code-mode inside Rowboat lets you spin up multiple instances of Claude Code or Codex and either work with them directly or let Rowboat use your work context to orchestrate them. We built an ACP (Agent Client Protocol) client in Rowboat for this.\n* **Notes:** Rowboat has an Obsidian-style local note-taking system. It comes with graph view, bases view, and voice notes. You can also sync Google Docs files and edit them inside Rowboat.\n\nAn example email work surface - triage plus pre-drafted replies in your voice:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106800&key=user_uploads/189004/b957ae9a-2186-42a4-a0cd-3e56554221c7)\n\nYou can also build your own work surfaces inside Rowboat (web apps). Each app gets its own UI and a background agent, and can use all of Rowboat's tools, product integrations, and your work memory. For instance: an app to manage GitHub activity, project tracking, or ads campaign management. There are a few community apps at launch that you can search and install. Publishing your own is one click from inside Rowboat: connect your GitHub and it creates the repo and registers the app for you.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106800&key=user_uploads/189004/1c8fea41-3dbe-4a41-8202-9a1564531d71)\n\nAll of this is powered by the Brain: a knowledge graph of your work that Rowboat builds and maintains automatically, so every surface starts with full context. We did a Show HN on it a few months back: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46962641>.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106800&key=user_uploads/189004/ed015055-6816-4b6f-b9de-ab17364f7ddf)\n\nAs an example that ties some of these together: you can create an app inside Rowboat that collects feature requests from your email, meetings, and Slack and ranks them, then uses Claude Code to draft a first version of the top-ranked feature, pulling prior context about it from your knowledge graph.\n\nRowboat is local-first: data is stored as plain Markdown files you can read, edit, or delete anytime. It is Apache-2.0 and works with any LLM, including local models through Ollama or LM Studio. You can also use your ChatGPT subscription. It works on Mac, Windows and Linux.\n\n**Shipped in public**\n\nEvery major Rowboat release has launched on Hacker News:\n\n* **Rowboat CLI** (Nov 2025): front page, 131 points. A Claude Code-style CLI agent for everyday work, two months before Anthropic's Cowork.\n* **Rowboat Knowledge** (Feb 2026): front page, 205 points, #1 on GitHub Trending.

        "body": "**Tl;dr:** [RowBoat](https://www.rowboatlabs.com/) is a pre-trained customer support LLM agent that seamlessly plugs into your systems, handles customer conversations, and performs tasks just like an expert human agent would.\n\n# **Problem**\n\nCustomer support is one of those rare opportunities for a brand to connect directly with its users. The best brands know this and invest heavily in coaching their human agents to deliver a great support experience.\n\nBut when it comes to automated support, most solutions rely on LLMs that aren’t specially designed for customer support and can’t learn from experience. This often leaves users stuck with impersonal and long FAQ-style responses in small chat windows, often missing the help they actually need.\n\nInternal teams might see some early wins with a public LLM + RAG setup, but that progress usually hits a wall fast. Before long, engineers are spending more time debugging common LLM issues instead of focusing on what actually matters: delivering great customer support. As a result, customer satisfaction rates (measured by surveys) get nowhere close to that of human agents.\n\n# **Solution**\n\nRowBoat is built and fine-tuned specifically for customer support\n\n* **Pre-Trained:** RowBoat is trained on a vast corpus of support conversations and further refined through self-play. It's like hiring a highly experienced customer support agent right from day one.\n* **Brand-Aligned:** RowBoat automatically indexes your public and internal knowledge, fine-tuning itself to align with your brand.\n* **Continuous Improvement:** RowBoat learns from every user interaction. When connected to your user metrics, such as resolution rates, RowBoat critiques its own performance to optimize for them continuously.\n\n… for internal engineering teams to build exceptional customer experience\n\n* **Plug & Play:** A drop-in replacement for GPT-4+ class LLMs, RowBoat offers immediate improvements in resolution accuracy. Our SmartRAG system readily integrates with your existing Elasticsearch or embedding-based retrieval systems for improved grounding.\n* **Tool Use & Personalization:** Equipped with a library of predefined functions, RowBoat can interact with and perform tasks on internal and external APIs. This makes RowBoat’s conversations highly contextualized to the user. \n* **Self-hostable:** RowBoat can be hosted inside your company’s cloud, especially for privacy-sensitive use cases.\n\nSeamless conversations…\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83046&key=user_uploads/189004/99fef1b6-674c-4deb-902b-15ecdc895efe)\n\n… with continuous coaching\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83046&key=user_uploads/189004/cdb3fce5-1446-45c0-afaa-fa8b49135deb)\n\n# **Who we are**\n\nWe're a team of three engineers who have worked together for the last 7 years.

        "body": "**TL;DR:** **BrowserOS is an open-source, AI-native browser that automates your tedious web tasks**. Just describe what you want in plain English—like \"find software engineers from my LinkedIn requests and add them to a google sheet\"—and watch an AI click, type, and navigate on your behalf, all running locally with your logged-in sessions. We're an open-source and privacy-first alternative to Comet, Dia, Chrome.\n\nWe are grateful for all our early supporters — 4.3k+ Github ⭐, 25,000+ downloads and an active discord community of 1000 folks!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93960&key=user_uploads/105063/b11e5c5f-8e15-4375-a62e-ed1ddbaa428b)\n\n### **🤔 Why Now**\n\nAI coding tools made developers 10x faster. But a billion knowledge workers still grind through browser busywork. Copy-paste. Click. Repeat. Even we spend half our engineering time on mindless browser tasks. It's ridiculous—AI writes our entire codebase but can't click a button.\n\nSo what’s blocking the browser’s ‘Cursor moment’?\n\n### **🧨 The Problem**\n\nWe think it comes down to three big problems preventing mass adoption of AI agents for knowledge workers, especially at enterprises:\n\n**1. Can't access your logged-in sessions.** Most agentic solutions today (like ChatGPT Operator, Manus) run on remote computers. They can't log into your Gmail, LinkedIn, or company tools. So they fail at every real task you actually need help with.\\\n**2. Tools are fragmented.** You've got agent builders that use MCP servers. Others that only do browser automation. Some that just call APIs like Zapier. There's no single solution that lets you build an agent using all these approaches together.\\\n**3. Closed source:**  Most other popular browsers come from search/ad companies who want to track you and sell ads. They lock you into their LLMs, hide how things work, and send your data to their servers. That's a dealbreaker for enterprises who can't send sensitive data to third parties.\n\n## **🥳 Our Solution**\n\nBrowserOS is an open-source, privacy-first browser built to solve these problems by design.\n\n1. It's just a normal browser you download and run on your machine. You log into websites like you always do. But now agents can use those logged-in sessions to actually do useful work - they can browse the web just like you would, using your existing logins.\n2. We support both MCP servers and browser automation. You can stitch them together to build agents that handle complex workflows. Need to pull data from a website, process it through an API, then update a spreadsheet? One agent can do it all.\n3. We're fully open source. You can see our system prompts, change them if you want. Bring your own API keys or run models locally with Ollama. Your data stays on your computer.\n\nKey features of BrowserOS:\n\n* **Build agents with plain English** - Just describe what you want. No coding required.\n* **Use any LLM you want** - Bring your own API keys, switch between models, or run everything using local LLMs\n* **Still a normal browser** - It's Chromium underneath. All your Chrome extensions work.\n\n### **🚀 The future**\n\nHere's what excites us: a billion knowledge workers spend 60-80% of their day in browsers. Every enterprise runs on web apps—Salesforce, SAP, Workday, internal tools. These workers waste hours on tasks that make them miserable. Filing expense reports. Extracting data from dashboards. Setting up ad campaigns.\n\n**We think browsers will become new operating system where AI employees live and work alongside humans.** Imagine a world where IT builds an “expense report agent” once, every employee benefits. Someone shares their “Facebook Ads agent” publicly. You fork it, tweak it for your workflow. The mundane work gets automated while humans focus on what matters.\n\nThis kind of automation only works in browsers. Not everything has APIs, but everything has a web UI. If an agent can click and type like a human, it can automate any web app—from legacy enterprise software to the latest SaaS tools.\n\nWe're building the best browser for this future!\n\n### **🏋️‍♂️ Team**\n\nWe're twin brothers who've been building products together for years. We spent the last 6 years as engineers at Google and Meta.\n\nNikhil worked on Instagram Reels and Facebook Feed Ranking backend—deep C++ and systems work. Nithin was an ML engineer on YouTube Recommendations and worked on building Youtube’s first Large Recommender Model (LRM).\n\nWe feel this gives us the perfect mix of experience to tackle a massive C++ codebase like Chromium while building a powerful agent and AI layer on top.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93960&key=user_uploads/105063/5b10f1a2-86df-4154-a02b-52ae465cea00)\n\n### **🙏 Our Ask**\n\n* **Star us on [GitHub](https://git.new/browseros)** to support our mission.\n* **Download [BrowserOS](https://www.browseros.com/)**; it’s available for macOS, Windows, and Linux!\n* **Join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/YKwjt5vuKr)** to help shape our roadmap.",

Today, we are launching one of the pieces, a seamless UI to spin up a TPU cluster of any size and providing an out-of-box notebook to fine-tune LLaMa 3.1 models. **Try us at **[**felafax.ai**](https://felafax.ai?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch-yc)** or check out our **[**github**](https://github.com/felafax/RoadRunnerX)**!**\n\n## 👋 Introduction\n\nHi everyone, we're Nikhil and Nithin, twin brothers behind Felafax AI. Before this, we spent half a decade at Google and Meta building AI infrastructure. Drawing on our experience, we are creating an ML stack from the ground up. Our goal is to deliver high performance and provide an easy workflow for training models on non-NVIDIA hardware like TPU, AWS Trainium, AMD GPU, and Intel GPU.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82653&key=user_uploads/105063/96b92f10-55b4-4137-a100-23bea3e5c4c6)\n\n## 🧨 The Problem\n\n* The ML ecosystem for non-NVIDIA GPUs is underdeveloped. However, alternative chipsets like Google TPUs offer a much better price-to-performance ratio; **TPUs are 30% cheaper** to use.\n* The cloud layer for spinning up AI workloads is **painful**. Training requires installing the right low-level dependencies (infamous CUDA errors), attaching persistent storage, waiting 20 minutes for the machine to boot up… the list goes on.\n* Models are getting bigger (like Llama 405B) and don't fit on a single GPU, requiring complex **multi-GPU** orchestration.\n\n## 🥳 The Solution\n\nToday, we're launching a cloud layer to make it easy to spin up AI training clusters of any size, from 8 TPU cores to 2048 cores. We provide:\n\n* **Effortless Setup:** Out-of-the-box templates for PyTorch XLA and JAX to get you up and running quickly.\n* **LLaMa Fine-tuning, Simplified:** Dive straight into fine-tuning LLaMa 3.1 models (8B, 70B, and 405B) with pre-built notebooks. We've handled the tricky multi-TPU orchestration for you.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82653&key=user_uploads/1765/d34757cd-a366-4dcb-9491-0d03f46520a7)\n\nIn the coming weeks, we will also launch our open-source AI platform built on top of JAX and OpenXLA (an alternative to NVIDIA's CUDA stack). We will support AI training across a variety of non-NVIDIA hardware (Google TPU, AWS Trainium, AMD and Intel GPU) and offer the same performance as NVIDIA at 30% lower cost. **Follow us on **[**Twitter**](https://x.com/nikhil_sonti)**, **[**LinkedIn**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/felafax/)** and **[**Github**](https://github.com/felafax/RoadRunnerX)** or updates!**\n\n## 🙏 How You Can Help\n\n1.

We worked together at Palantir in the manufacturing vertical, where John focused on industrial chemicals while Shaashwat worked on commercial defense. Our work on the ground exposed some incredible risks to American advanced manufacturing, particularly around how data is managed (or mismanaged) in an operational context.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83242&key=user_uploads/778384/3aca7221-84cd-4454-8351-e9e47bdf051b)\n\n### **Problem**\n\n* Data is stored in many formats, including various ERPs, PDFs, Word documents, and Excel files, across multiple different systems on the factory floor.\n* This setup makes it difficult to answer basic questions, and answers are more often found in the heads of subject matter experts rather than in an easily accessible, uniform platform.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nOur solution enables manufacturers to:\n\n* Auto-integrate their disparate data into a singular knowledge base\n* Query this knowledge base in natural language to provide visibility across their core processes.\n* Implement workflows on top of this knowledge base to increase automation and improve overall decision-making.\n\nBy capturing and leveraging operational knowledge more effectively, this will ensure American manufacturing can continue to expand capacity in the coming decades.\n\n### **Why Now?**\n\n* A wave of retirements, coupled with insufficient incoming skilled labor, will open up an estimated [**2\\.1 million unfilled advanced manufacturing roles by 2030**](https://nam.org/2-1-million-manufacturing-jobs-could-go-unfilled-by-2030-13743/).\n* This knowledge loss necessitates increased efforts to automate processes and manage data more effectively to ensure these factories continue running at full capacity.\n\n### **Curious for More?**\n\nThanks for reading!

        "body": "### What is DreamRP?\n\n[DreamRP](https://www.dreamrp.com/) lets creators earn money by turning their characters into chatbots. For example, George R.R. Martin could charge fans to chat with a Jon Snow bot.\n\n### TL;DR\n\nAI roleplaying is wildly popular, but no existing platform focuses on the most impactful component of the experience: the creators who make the characters. With a more ethical implementation of AI and the right creation and monetization features, DreamRP has unlocked AI roleplaying for the most talented and successful creators.\n\n### What’s up with AI roleplaying?\n\nAI-driven roleplaying chatbots are going through a weird phase right now—grassroots demand for the experience has nearly outpaced the platforms that provide it. Offerings from companies like [Character.ai](https://character.ai/) and even Meta’s new [AI Studio](https://ai.meta.com/ai-studio/) emphasize practical GPT-like assistants, but leaderboards are filled with fantasy heroes, movie villains, and anime waifus. On their coattails are many scrappier alternatives (even the small ones reach hundreds of thousands in ARR), as well as an enthusiastic open-source community [fine-tuning their own roleplaying models](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1bv2p89/new_rp_model_recommendation_the_best_one_so_far_i/) for home-brew solutions like [SillyTavern](https://sillytavernai.com/). It’s no surprise that 12 of the top 20 applications using [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/) this month and [6 of the top 20 Gen AI web products](https://a16z.com/100-gen-ai-apps-3/) are mainly used for AI roleplaying.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83756&key=user_uploads/596461/49947cd3-0555-403b-ae54-271b3ec1109f)\n\n### What they’re all missing: a creator focus\n\nCompeting in such a crowded space is challenging. With open source now advancing the frontier with models like [Flux.1](https://blackforestlabs.ai/) and [Llama 3.1](https://llama.meta.com/), once-rare levels of performance and innovative features are becoming commonplace. Pushing the boundaries of uncensored content frequently [leads](https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAi_NSFW/comments/1d9fz5f/yodayo_removing_nsfw_content_and_now_its_garbage/) to an [early death](https://www.reddit.com/r/aisekai/comments/1afim30/aisekai_is_shutting_down/?rdt=55501). User acquisition ads that were previously effective are now being [priced out](https://web.swipeinsight.app/posts/temu-s-ad-surge-sparks-dtc-turmoil-unraveling-meta-s-ad-cost-chaos-4612).\n\nAll of these platforms neglect a crucial component of the roleplaying experience: the creators who make the characters. Even with the best models and features, refining the character prompt, image, and scenario to be engaging takes effort and imagination, and users frequently need to dig through junk to find a character that performs well. When the tech is commoditized, the platform with the best creators has the best content and, therefore, the best product.\n\n### Untapped potential\n\nWhere are the best creators? Despite fans' demand for their content, the artists, authors, and other creators who traditionally make works of fiction are nowhere to be seen on these platforms. To them, current platforms are actually taboo: so marred by ethical concerns over industry usage of AI-generated art and the scraping of training data that even being associated with AI would [ostracize them from the creative community](https://x.com/Yuumei_Art/status/1813861897198096886). \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83756&key=user_uploads/596461/2e20d054-1d26-4e3c-bc1f-6c56fdbd56b0)\n\nWhat users are left with are inconsistent fan-made renditions of popular characters and a lack of community around the content itself. Stigma over using roleplaying chatbots has limited the sharing and discussion of these experiences in the vibrant fandoms surrounding these creators and their works.\n\n### Enter DreamRP\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83756&key=user_uploads/596461/4f926d9a-c190-4c43-9de7-48e18a52610b)\n\nWe are [Phillip](https://linkedin.com/in/philliphuang) and [Nina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nina-hu-91a53577/), and we built [DreamRP](https://www.dreamrp.com/) to empower creators in the AI roleplaying landscape. With an implementation of AI that addresses the ethical concerns of the creative community, specialized creation tools, and monetization features that reward creators for their work, DreamRP removes the barrier separating creators and their fans. With our platform, creators who previously would’ve been canceled for even mentioning the syllables “A” and “I” in adjacent sentences have onboarded onto our platform, created characters, and publicly promoted them to their fans on social media. Join us as we transform this exciting new medium of entertainment with the most talented creators and their immensely passionate fanbases.\n\n# **If you’re a creator—or know someone who is—come check us out at **[**dreamrp.com**](https://www.dreamrp.com/)** or get in touch at **[**founders@dreamrp.com**](mailto:phillip@dreamrp.com)**.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83756&key=user_uploads/596461/9bc99028-74fc-4563-b4ec-dc238f1a8e8c)\n\n",

        "title": "Streamable 🔵 Never IRL Stream with Issues Again.",
        "tagline": "Powering the biggest IRL streams today",
        "body": "# **TL;DR:**\n\nStreamable makes sure many of the biggest IRL streams stay alive under poor network conditions.\n\n# **The Main Problem:**\n\nWithout [Streamable.run](http://Streamable.run), streamers that stream outside and encounter poor network conditions, will disconnect from Twitch or Kick. Their stream will end, and their thousands of viewers get kicked from the stream. By the time they reconnect, most of their viewers have gone on to do something else.\n\nNang, being a streamer himself and being friends with many streamers, felt these issues firsthand and knew that all IRL streamers were frustrated with the current solutions available.\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nCloud Hosted Streaming Servers. Our product sits in between the streamer and the streaming platform, which allows for a clean solution to many problems IRL Streamers face:\n\n🔵 100% Stream Drop Protection: When a streamer encounters poor network conditions when streaming IRL, our system automatically switches their screen to display their most popular clips and let the viewers know that connection has been lost and that the streamer will be back soon. \n\n🔵 Remote Stream Management: Bigger streamers have remote teams that are not necessarily at the streaming location. The streaming server allows team members and moderators to edit and manage the stream from anywhere in the world.\n\n🔵 Switch without ending stream: Without Streamable, streamers only have one input to their stream, causing them to need to end the stream in order to switch cameras (for example, switching from Desktop camera to IRL phone camera). With Streamable, they can switch cameras while livestreaming with a press of a button in our UI.\n\n🔵 Collab Stream: Streaming platforms accept one input to the stream, making it impossible for streamers to share the same camera feed when collaborating. Streamable allows streamers to share inputs with other streamers with on-platform friend requests, so that all streamers can share the same camera easily.\n\n# **Progress So Far:**\n\nIn the past 3 months, we’ve gotten a stable product that is the best on the market. We are also powering many of the biggest streamers and working with production teams for Adin Ross’ Brand Risk, Sperm Racing, FaZe Clan, EdwardKSo, etc. \n\nThrough working with these streamers, we’ve discovered that the IRL streaming industry is growing extremely fast, has very underrated cultural relevance, and is currently extremely underserved. We believe streamers deserve so, so much better, and that’s what we’re here to do, starting with this first product!\n\n# **ABOUT US:**\n\n🔵 Nang Ang is a top Twitch streamer in the Software & Game Development category and has a B.S.&M.S @ CMU in Computer Engineering. He has been sharing his startup and entertiaing projects on Youtube and Twitch, and has grown a community of over 200k followers and 30 million total views on social media.\n\n🔵 Manav Bokinala has built across infrastructure, AI, and consumer products — from co-founding an AI-powered app builder, to architecting distributed systems for an AI GTM platform, to shipping a consumer social app. He's now focused on solving the hardest problems in live streaming infrastructure.\n\n# **Our Ask:**\n\nIf you IRL stream or know any IRL streamers - check Streamable out at <https://streamable.run>! We’re sure you’ll love it\n\n# **More Links if you’re interested:**\n\nFollow Streamable on X: <https://x.com/streamabledotrun>\n\nFollow Streamable on Instagram: [https://instagram.com/streamabledotrun](https://x.com/streamabledotrun)\n\nJoin our Discord: <https://discord.gg/pb8ynsztYB>\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85482&key=user_uploads/1119010/b1d5c5ca-f339-46ab-a55c-d8c794d10017)\n\n",

        "body": "**The Problem**\n\nNearly 50 percent of relationships end in a breakup or divorce. For the 140 million couples in the US, daily connection is getting harder, not because of a lack of love, but because of emotional drift, missed communication, and growing incompatibility. Careers, social media, and the relentless pace of life turn quality time into background noise. And this problem will only increase for the next generation of couples and friends.\n\nWe believe most relationships don’t end suddenly. They slowly fade from a lack of consistent emotional connection.\n\n**The Solution**\n\nCandle is a private space for couples or friends to connect every day, simply and intentionally.\n\nWhat started as a swipeable question game has evolved into a full platform:\n\n• Daily Prompts and Games: Rotating questions, quizzes, audio, and photo prompt challenges!\n\n• Local Date Ideas and Events: 60 curated ideas that refresh every week, usable anywhere in the world and on any date range!\n\n• Canvas and Countdown Widgets: An interactive way to leave notes, doodles, drawings, and status updates directly on each other's home screens, a playful way to stay connected even when you're apart. Set countdowns directly on your home screen for when you see each other next, trips, dates, and more.\n\n• Streaks and Progress: Reward streaks through small daily or weekly moments of connection together\n\n• Adaptive Decks: Personalized, smarter questions over time\n\n• Shared Albums and Memories: A visual log of your relationship\n\nWhether long distance or living together, Candle helps people create daily emotional momentum, the often overlooked key to long-term connection.\n\nYouTube Launch Video:\n\n[**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PHArmvw4qw**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PHArmvw4qw)\n\n**Since launching our beta 5 months ago!**\n\n**We’re currently at:**\n\n• 110k MAUs\n\n• 46k DAUs\n\n(active = someone who’s completed a card connection with their partner)\n\n**The Team**\n\nParth (ex Asana, ex Twitter engineer) and I, Alex (ex iOS/Architecture at Apple, ex flight systems at NASA), have been friends for quite a while and have built multiple projects together, including shopencore.ai, a tool to search across hundreds of resale sites in one place.\n\nCandle is the result of everything we learned during our long stretch of pivots and side projects. It’s the first thing we’ve built that people not only use, they come back to daily, and a core problem that we’ve faced ourselves. That’s what makes us excited to keep going :)\n\n**Links**\n\n**• Download the app! —&gt; [https://www.trycandle.app](https://www.trycandle.app/)**\n\n• Join the Community: r/candleapp ([https://www.reddit.com/r/candleapp)](https://www.reddit.com/r/candleapp/\\)%5C)\n\n• Follow the journey: [https://www.instagram.com/candlecouples](https://www.instagram.com/candlecouples/)\n\n• Support email: [support@trycandle.app](mailto:support@trycandle.app)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93206&key=user_uploads/342376/f7d11824-0d56-46ca-b702-4d1932653149)\n\n",

At best, current solutions have you respond to preset messages to evaluate your pronunciation and word choice.\n\nThe only effective solution for this is non-technological: a language tutor. Having a tutor can be awesome, but there are real downsides: these can be costly ([$20/hour on italki on average](https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/italki-Salaries-E348674.htm)), difficult to schedule, and have a high upfront cost (finding a tutor you like often forces you to cycle through a few that you don’t).\n\n# **The solution**\n\nWe set out to redefine what a language learning app can be—not by building on existing solutions, but by starting with the experience of a human tutor.\n\nISSEN is a true language tutor, accessible anytime from your computer or phone. Conversations can be as structured or open-ended as you like—dive into focused grammar lessons or have a casual chat about your day. Over time, you build a relationship with your AI tutor, which means that as they get to know you, they tailor conversations and lesson plans to your needs–but will never judge you when you make a mistake! Plus, our AI tutors are deeply multi-lingual, so if you are a Danish/Mandarin Chinese native looking to learn Gujarati, ISSEN is the app for you.\n\nOur mission is to transform language learning by delivering the connection, effectiveness, and fun that, until now, only human teachers could offer.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sftLFew6eM>\n\n# **The team**\n\nWe’re Mariano and Anton, co-founders who met at Stanford and share a passion for language learning. Mariano is a former crypto engineer and VC at a16z, and has dedicated years to mastering Japanese. Anton, a native Spanish, English, and Italian speaker, spent seven years at Palantir kickstarting and building Palantir LATAM and leading infrastructure as Chief Architect of Infrastructure, Security, and Hosting.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85733&key=user_uploads/2292308/a8d89083-8164-46a6-9854-60ad8bae9245)\n\n# **How you can help**\n\nIf you’re serious about improving your foreign language skills—or know someone who is—you can try the app now at [issen.com](http://issen.com).

Everything you'd get from a $500/month coach, at a 50x lower price. \r\n\r\nFounded in 2024 by WHOOP and AWS alumni, HYBRD is built by hybrid athletes.

        "body": "Lifters, runners, triathletes, cyclists: you can now turn your personal AI agent into a fitness coach with HYBRD. Once you connect to the HYBRD MCP, your AI agent will be able to: \n\n* Access and understand all your historical training data\n* Use that data to make workouts and training plans\n* Push those recommendations to your device (watch and/or phone) so you can execute the workouts\n\n**To get set up, just paste this into Claude / Muse / Instinct:** \n\nset up <https://hybrd.com/resources/mcp-setup/skill.md> \\\n\\\nMillions of athletes already build training plans inside their favorite AI tool. But those tools have no access to wearable data, no memory from one session to the next, and no way to get a workout from the chat window onto an athlete's watch. HYBRD MCP closes that gap.\n\nThe first thing you should try with HYBRD MCP is to ask something like: \n\n* Across all my runs, when did I have the best ratio between grade adjusted pace and heart rate?\n* What was my most consistent phase ever? \n* What was the difference between my Napa Marathon prep and Boston Marathon prep?\n\nThen have it write you a training plan for your next goal: \n\n* Using the workouts I did most consistently, come up with a plan for Ironman California\n* Help me ramp back up to what I used to lift while maintaining my running volume\n* I’m traveling and will only have access to hotel gyms for a while, modify my current training plan\n\nHYBRD will write those workouts back to your wearable and phone, so you just have to click “start” and you’ll get guided through the plan\n\nYou can also use our companion mobile app to make tracking lifting easy, or track your runs using your phone’s GPS if you don’t have a smartwatch. \n\nHYBRD will manage your wearables connection, be a system of record for your training plan / completed workouts, and steer LLMs towards giving better fitness coaching\n\nThe experience gets especially magical with tools like Muse or Instinct, which can proactively check the local weather, block off time on your calendar, order the right fueling for you etc. \n\nSleep, recovery and nutrition data support are coming in the next few days. \n\nWe have a few thousand athletes on HYBRD so far, check out what they’re doing with it below: \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/ba90bd48-3082-495a-97de-a5b4bcb80d5d)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/cd6fc55c-c6e3-4cd1-9adc-89e6e0429da4)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/df460c1b-8fe8-46bf-b60c-6b13ebbdebd8)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/1fa83022-70ae-49cd-8c18-613955ff486b)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/e99327d7-3a83-4373-8ce7-e1948cd1e8d3)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/9a2561b4-c0b7-4d60-822b-05f0184ee4df)\n\n",

We’re the team behind HYBRD - Ruiters, Shoe, Ben, Michael and Mats. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100595&key=user_uploads/1315661/b570d491-7243-4a3c-8660-ca425a646339)\n\nWe’re excited to share that today **HYBRD is becoming a coach in your pocket.** It’s like having a $500/month private coach on call 24/7. We provide a world-class training plan, then adapt it based on your life, progress, and recovery to keep you on track. \n\n\\\n[LINK TO DEMO VIDEO](https://youtube.com/shorts/PgPKkJqbYs0)\n\nASK: [TRY IT NOW ON THE APP STORE](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hybrd-get-faster-stronger/id6670271875)\n\n\\\n**Introducing HYBRD Brain**\n\nHYBRD Brain is our AI-powered coach built on top of HYBRD's structured training plans. Tell Brain about your schedule, sport mix, travel, or injuries — and it restructures your entire plan accordingly.\n\n## **⭐ Why HYBRD is different**\n\nThese aren't ChatGPT-slop training plans.\n\nWe've partnered with Alex Viada (creator of the term \"hybrid athlete\") and his Complete Human Performance team to use their world-class programming as HYBRD's foundation. Our agent adapts those plans to you while preserving best-in-class athletic methodology.\n\n(Alex also bought an iPhone just to use HYBRD)\n\n**HYBRD Brain can coach you to achieve anything**\n\n* Training for a marathon but also playing soccer twice a week? HYBRD Brain adjusts your running volume.\n* Tweaked your Achilles and need to back off temporarily? HYBRD Brain rebuilds your training block.\n* Traveling for work and missed three sessions? HYBRD Brain recalculates what comes next so you don’t lose momentum.\n\nInstead of forcing you to follow a plan that breaks on contact with reality, HYBRD Brain builds a plan that adapts to you. \n\n**HYBRD actually does things**\n\nChatting with your health data is cool, but not useful. Most apps just regurgitate your charts back to you (you know how to read a graph) and recommend the CDC's 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week.\n\nThese tools feel disappointing because they don't know your actual goals and constraints, like upcoming races, equipment and your schedule, so they can't do anything meaningful with the data they collect.\n\nHYBRD understands your goals and proactively proposes adjustments that fit your plan. Unplanned workouts, missed sessions, fatigue, cross-training, new PRs… HYBRD recognizes these moments and reorganizes your schedule around them.\n\n**HYBRD uses ALL of your workout data**\n\nEvery workout you do is a puzzle piece in a broader picture of performance. But fitness tracking data is siloed across multiple domains. You might track your running data on a Garmin, your sleep/recovery on WHOOP and your strength training in a spreadsheet. \n\nIt kinda works if you’re _just_ a runner or _just_ a lifter.\n\nBut more and more people are becoming “hybrid” athletes who focus on strength _and_ cardio, so they’re left stitching together multiple data sources to see the full picture.\n\nDo it wrong and you risk “cardio killing your gains”\n\n**HYBRD is adaptive to your history, current level and progress**\n\nHYBRD integrates with all leading wearables and data sources, pulling in your full workout history and deduplicating it. From that data, we give you a holistic view of your strength and cardio fitness, normalized for age, gender, and weight, as a single score you can track over time.\n\nCycling, running, rowing, lifting: we interpret it all to model your physiology and personalize your plan.\n\nSay you want to train more like Alex Viada. You probably aren't deadlifting 700lbs and logging 15+ hours a week (yet?). We scale the fundamentals of his programming down to exactly where you are now.\n\n**FitBench**\n\nOk, it wouldn't be an AI launch without benchmarking.\n\nWe built **FitBench**, a benchmark that evaluates an AI coach across four dimensions: Scientific accuracy, athlete safety, recommendation actionability and conciseness across 25 common coaching scenarios. We used Opus 4.6 as an LLM-as-a-judge to score HYBRD Brain against current ChatGPT and its predecessors.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100595&key=user_uploads/1315661/c6e545d7-114b-4cc5-9e1f-806f7197e7d2)\n\nBut how does that compare with human coaches?\n\nWe had HYBRD sit for the **Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)** exam, which is the gold standard in coaching. You need 70% to pass (half of all human test-takers don't make it). HYBRD scored 77%.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100595&key=user_uploads/1315661/4cfa2415-0d8f-4106-850b-f15fcf307d54)\n\n\\\n**Our Story**\n\nBen, Mats, and Shoe all met while working on getting WHOOP to PMF. At the time, outside of work, Mats was training on the US national rowing team and Ben + Shoe were making their first forays into Ironman training.\n\nWe realized that fitness hardware was getting really good, but also was being commoditized. (Just take a look at Coros brutally undercutting Garmin prices)\n\nFor all the data being collected, existing products weren’t providing real coaching to multi-disciplinary “hybrid” athletes like us, partly because none were built to handle strength + cardio data, and partly because models weren’t good enough. \n\nMost athletes are still following static PDF plans they found online, or \"adaptive\" apps that fall apart the moment cross-training enters the picture.\n\nWe teamed up with our co-founder and CTO Ruiters (a senior AWS engineer at the time) and Michael (our founding engineer) to solve that with HYBRD. \n\nIf that problem resonates with you, [try a 7 day free trial of HYBRD!](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hybrd-get-faster-stronger/id6670271875)",

The training plans are by world-class coach Alex Viada, the guy who literally wrote the book that started the _hybrid athlete_ movement. We personalize his plans perfectly to you based on your data and preferences.\n\n**You can check out a demo here:** https://youtube.com/shorts/WCzKPLmS_A4?feature=share\n\n**Asks**\n\n* Get ridiculously fit so that you live longer and show up as the best version of yourselves for your friends and families\n* Do this by trying our 7 day free trial (find us on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hybrd-get-faster-stronger/id6670271875))\n* Stay motivated by joining our free weekly workout clubs in San Francisco and Boston (email me at [mats@hybrd.app](mailto:mats@hybrd.app) to join the groupchat)\n* Pay it forward by sharing HYBRD with the most athletic people you know\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/2636ea96-f4e3-4c5a-9fb9-03a49e4d7e30)\n\n(pictured above is Alex Viada - if you’re not familiar, he wrote the first book on hybrid training and an inspiration to many, many coaches and athletes in this space. He bought an iPhone just to try HYBRD and we’ve since launched a partnership to provide his training plans on the platform)\\\n\\\n**Ok.. I want to be strong and fast, but what are you actually building?**\n\nWe break down the silos between your cardio, strength and wearable data to give you a complete view of your performance.\n\nThen we use that data to personalize training plans from world-class coaches to you. We’re ex-WHOOP, ex-US national rowing team, triathletes / ultramarathoners ourselves and are building the training platform that we wish had existed for us.\\\n\\\n**Why do I need a separate app for this?**\n\nEvery workout you do is a puzzle piece in a broader picture of performance. But fitness tracking data is siloed across multiple domains. You might track your running data on a Garmin, your sleep/recovery on WHOOP and your strength training in a spreadsheet.\n\nIt kinda works if you’re _just_ a runner or _just_ a lifter.\n\nBut more and more people are becoming “hybrid” athletes who focus on strength _and_ cardio, so they’re left stitching together multiple data sources to see the full picture.\n\nDo it wrong and you risk “cardio killing your gains”\n\n**What are you guys doing about it?**\n\nFirst, HYBRD integrates with all leading wearables and data sources. We pull in as much historical data as we can. We pull in your workouts and deduplicate them.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/ea007cfa-7a37-4fe1-ac3a-cf3766489e8f)\n\nThen, we make it really easy to track your weightlifting, CrossFit, HYROX - things that aren’t well suited for tracking on a wearable.\n\nYou can use text to input your workout to our AI logger - or, simply upload a picture of your training journal, a whiteboard from a HYROX gym, or a screenshot from an app you already use.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/d7b6ae82-a69f-44ef-85de-eafad05467e6)\n\nBased on that data, we provide a holistic view of your strength and cardio abilities, normalized for age/gender/weight and give you a single score (analogous to a chess Elo score) that you can use to track your progress.\n\nCycling, running, rowing, lifting data can all be interpreted and used to model your physiology.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/40a31bf9-1e3d-4cf3-98e1-f8b3ea2cd8a4)\n\nThat gives us all the information we need to know to personalize a training plan for you.\n\nFor example - lets say you want to be more like Alex Viada, the guy I mentioned above. You might not deadlift 700lb+ and be training 15+ hours a week (yet?), so we can scale down the fundamentals of his training plan to whatever is right for you:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/316c1a00-295f-4498-a9a7-52a70ed43a06)\n\nThese training plans have been developed by likely the most reputable coaching organization in hybrid athletics - Complete Human Performance (shout out to Alex as well as Trevor Tartaglia and Ariana Scalfo!)\n\nAnd once you have that workout plan, we can push it directly to your Garmin (Coros + Apple Watch coming soon), so you can easily run through the workout on the go.\n\nYou’ll be motivated to keep making progress by pushing up your Training Score, which is the first metric to encapsulate both strength and cardio training load, developed by us and Anna Cruse, the Director of Applied Health and Performance Science at the University of Utah.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/c04f9964-96e3-457c-a1e5-b03c8fd2fc8c)\n\n**Where is this all going?**\n\nWe’ve already had hundreds of thousands of workouts get processed when HYBRD was a tracking-only app, so we’re really pumped about taking things to the next level by adding in adaptive programming.\n\nWe’re going to keep adding more plan types (HYROX, triathlon coming soon) as well as more personalization levers (probably sleep + recovery etc.)\n\nRight now we’re iOS only but stay tuned on the Android side.\n\n**Who are you to tell me how to get stronger + faster..?**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/3a16ba00-2b5e-4607-bda2-b0152ec649a2)\n\n**Well, we’ve got a great team!**\n\n(from left to right)\n\n* our CTO [**@Matt Ruiters**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1833503) was a USA Rugby All-American and a former senior SWE at AWS\n* [**@Caroline \"Shoe\" Shoemaker**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1862703) was the first analytics hire at WHOOP, later GM for a productivity app portfolio at Appex and is racing an Ironman this weekend\n* CEO [**@Ben Katz**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1851275) led growth at WHOOP, later GM for a fitness app portfolio at Appex and is also racing an Ironman (against Shoe) this weekend\n* Our founding engineer Michael Battaglia is a former WHOOP software engineer and rowed for Cornell\n* [**@Mats Terwiesch**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1315661) was a core product manager at WHOOP, was concurrently on the US National Rowing Team, ran a 50mi ultramarathon last weekend and previously published health + AI research at Harvard\n\nand we’re just getting started!",

We’re [Gray](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gray-newfield-447b9b111/) and [Noah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-newfield-208a40129/), co-founders of [BeerMe](https://beerme.world/).\n\n**The Problem:** Sending money should be as engaging as other forms of digital content.\\\nAs we spend more time online, our options for self-expression (text, audio, photos, video, gifs, emojis, reactions, and stickers) have flourished. But payments feel about the same as they did 10 years ago.\n\n**The Solution:** BeerMe makes sending money fun and expressive.\n\nSend an old friend a couple beers ($16) on his birthday. Text your daughter a coffee ($5) to brighten up her finals week. Slack your team little treats ($4 each) at the end of a long sprint. With a curated library of tokens, any moment becomes an occasion.\\\n\\\n**Demo:**\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulsKCkjobHE>\n\nLike all social media content, tokens can be sent via private, anonymous links on any platform where people stay connected. Transfers are instant, global, and free. Track and manage tokens, swap for other options, or cash out USDC to any crypto wallet or exchange.\n\nWith BeerMe, there’s a token for every moment.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\n1. **Sign up** with your phone number at [BeerMe.World](http://BeerMe.World) before 10/30 and **we’ll send you a free Founder Mode token** ($1).\n2. **SOGO (Send one, get one)** Send someone a token, tell us about your experience by DMing [@BeerMeWorld](https://x.com/BeerMeWorld) on X or emailing [noah@beerme.world](mailto:noah@beerme.world), and we’ll send you a beer ($8).\n3. Want to send a token that’s not available yet? Reach out to [noah@beerme.world](mailto:noah@beerme.world) and **we’ll custom-make you a token** and add it to the platform.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=84970&key=user_uploads/2246500/bbd835cc-7424-47e8-9b9f-5af96f227157)\n\nIf you’ve already signed up for BeerMe, contact us directly for your Founder Mode token.\n\nAny feedback is appreciated. Thanks so much for your support!",

        "body": "Hi everyone!\n\nWe’re JZ and Blake. We’re tired of seeing people make generic AI slop so we built a platform to make beautiful visual assets with AI.\n\n**TLDR**\n\nStewdio is a collaborative platform for creative teams to use all the generative tools to make stunning images and videos with AI.\n\nTry our platform if you want to use AI to generate beautiful visuals. Use code **LETMECOOK** to get 20% off for 3 months.\n\nWe are also an AI-first creative agency. If you think our launch video is cool, reach out to [founders@stewdio.ai](mailto:founders@stewdio.ai) so we can make one for you.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/ZD4Vuk96P54\n\n**😵‍💫 Problem: Too many subscriptions and too little control**\n\n1. Right now, image and video models and tools are scattered across 10+ platforms (Veo, Kling, Hailuo, Flux, Sora, etc.)\n2. The dominant turn-based chat interface makes organizing assets and ideas a mess\n3. Generation feels like a slot machine. Trying the same prompt over and over again to get the perfect result is not only expensive but also draining\n\n**😆 Solution: Realtime Collaborative Canvas**\n\n1. All the best image and video models are in one place, with one subscription\n2. A Figma-like multiplayer canvas workspace to organize assets, work in parallel, and let ideas flow (no more 2-minute freeze and digging through the chat history)\n3. Fine-grained image editing features like inpaint, creative expand, and upscale. So generation no longer feels like pulling a slot machine\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92515&key=user_uploads/1946061/bf7b204c-5226-4f0a-8d88-086451701ab5)\n\n🤼‍♂️ **Team: Creative Technologists**\n\nJZ (CEO): Brown CS, started a consumer AI startup in college, hackathon winner, music producer.\n\nBlake (CPO): Brown CS + Film grad, took a consumer AI startup for 0 to 1 as a founding engineer, won festivals as a filmmaker before startup.\n\nWe became friends in college while making music videos together. We are as much creatives as we are technologists, so we are super excited to see our users use our platform to make music video + visualizers (including work for Quavo and Loco), advertising storyboards, and architectural renderings. Hope to see your work soon!\n\n🙏 **Ask:**\n\n1. Try the platform yourself\n2. Reach out to [founders@stewdio.ai](mailto:founders@stewdio.ai) if you need beautiful videos",

        "body": "Hey guys! We are Blake and JZ - co-founders of Cekura.\n\n## ⏳TL;DR\n\nCekura built an AI browser agent that can read how-to articles and navigate the product to verify if the articles are still valid. It saves documentation/customer success teams at SaaS companies hundreds of hours per week.\n\n<https://youtu.be/JJR7hz3dPaQ>\n\n## 😱 Problem: Things Break When You Move Fast\n\nThe engineering team is releasing a new feature — hoorayyy! Guess who’s not excited — the documentation team. So many help articles are no longer up-to-date. They are now faced with 2 options:\n\n1. Finding and reading through all the relevant product help articles (this will take literally 100+ hours of manual labor per week for some companies), or\n2. Hoping that a dissatisfied customer will file a complaint instead of quietly churning.\n\n## 🤩 Solution: AI Documentation Checker\n\nCekura’s browser agent will check if your documentation is up-to-date by following the instructions in your documentation like a real user! It can:\n\n1. Set up proper sandbox environment (i.e. admin vs non-admin users)\n2. Perform actions like a real person (reading the page, scrolling, clicking, etc)\n3. Record session replays to show you exactly what was wrong with the documentation\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85776&key=user_uploads/1690295/a8b33dd1-efb0-40d5-87cc-d14c798c563a)\n\n## 🤝 Team\n\nBlake and JZ both graduated from Brown with a computer science degree this year. They worked on countless projects together, ranging from independent creative projects to a consumer startup with thousands of users (known by batchmates as the team that pivoted from making music videos to AI browser agents).\n\n## 🙏 Our Ask\n\nDo you work at a SaaS company with a huge knowledge base of help documentation? Email [founders@cekura.io](mailto:founders@cekura.io) to put documentation maintenance on autopilot!",

Maurice **constantly understands its environment**, makes decisions, remembers what is sees and where, and learns from you.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85667&key=user_uploads/938249/cc03013d-d569-4272-93d8-e7a3c7f0a6b8)\n\n**This system comprises:**\n\n🧠 A **multi-agent** orchestrator running specialized models locally and in cloud 🤖 **Real-time manipulation** models controlled by our own transformers\n\n🦾 A **full data pipeline** to collect arm data, train in the cloud, run inference on the platform\n\n💬 **A 100% interactive platform**, that can be steered vocally or through its prompts\n\n📈 An **eval pipeline** for our brain’s decision making, to progressively make it better\n\nMaurice learns your space, remembers context, and makes autonomous decisions about where, what to do next.\n\n**It’s also ready to build on:**\n\n* **All the compute required** is onboard (uses a Jetson Orin Nano)\n* Shipped with a **teleop arm** to train it quickly\n* **SDK to access the agent**, steer it, give it new functions to call\n\n  ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85667&key=user_uploads/938249/1459c238-8aff-4226-acec-5c3c3770f57c)\n\n\nAnd as a user, you can customize it, collect data quickly to train it, and even change the hardware.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85667&key=user_uploads/938249/1039d908-0523-43d5-a70e-8d6d00971063)\n\nThis allows Maurice (and future robots) to learn several kinds of physical tasks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85667&key=user_uploads/938249/ed3e71f0-37cb-498d-8448-57f2ebb47178)\n\nFinally, Maurice is already reliable enough for us to do live, autonomous demos!\n\nWe're also developing a larger robot that can reach countertops. Our interoperable software ensures quick capability matching across all future embodiments using the Innate brain.\n\n# Our Ask: Join us into the **future**\n\nWe're making teachable robots accessible to builders now, because we believe it is the right way to tailor robots people want, for a reasonable price. Furthermore, the data we collect along the way, teaching our robots, will be useful for all future robots.\n\nOur first platform is for Silicon Valley builders who want to shape what teachable robots can do. Sign up for our waitlist [on our website.](https://innate.bot)\n\n1. **Join the community:** Builders, if you want to know more, join our Discord and / or get one, send us a DM at [@ax_pey](https://x.com/ax_pey) on X or at [axel@innate.bot](mailto:axel@innate.bot)\n2. **Intro us:** Our AI brain could be useful to an individual or company you know making robots? We’d love to chat!\n3. **I just want to chat! :** Great! Happy to! The best way is still through [X](https://x.com/ax_pey), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/axel-peytavin/) or [email](https://mailto:axel@innate.bot)!\n\n# Who we are\n\nWe are Vignesh and Axel, two former Stanford grad students and researchers in AI for robotics and AI for HCI. We met almost a year ago working on a previous idea, and through several iterations of this project, we have come to trust our shared abilities to face the hard problems ahead to make general-purpose robotics accessible to everyone.\n\nThis company embodies our vision of bringing a technology that will be a major game-changer for humanity, in the hands of everyone. So that robots are made for humans, taught by humans.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85667&key=user_uploads/938249/8d097e3a-cf0a-4ef9-ac06-4b6397935231)\n\n_Us, 10mn before a successful live demo of our robot in front of 40 people, fixing an unexpected bug_\n\nThe future of robotics is teachable. It’s time to build it!",

        "body": "# TL;DR\n\nDiffusion Studio is an AI-powered video editing application that automates repetitive editing tasks right in the browser. Diffusion Studio takes advantage of recently released Webcodecs and WebGPU to encode, process, and decode videos with hardware acceleration. \n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbMyfluvdYU>\n\n# The Founders\n\nKonstantin’s last job was developing signal-processing devices for a large German manufacturer. As soon as WebGPU was released, Konstantin started to work on building applications using that technology. This led him to start Diffusion Studio.\n\nMatthias previously built a startup that used AI-driven video processing to detect and track traffic participants on hardware-constrained devices. Through that, Matthias gathered valuable experience in hyper-optimizing video processing AI to run on everyday devices in real time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85607&key=user_uploads/2235261/0971d314-1bc5-48bc-b89b-0f72212f8f6e)\n\n# The Problem\n\nCreating fully polished and publishable video content is a time-intensive task, with each minute of a finished video requiring about an hour of tedious editing. This often means making several precise, manual adjustments. Some content creators try to solve this by outsourcing editing to low-wage countries but face issues with language barriers, endless back and forth, and reduced quality of the finished videos. \n\nThere’s a need for a simple video editing tool with a set of robust, focused features that enable the production of high-quality videos.\n\n# The Solution\n\nDiffusion Studio fills that need by automating large parts of the editing process. The auto edit feature automatically eliminates filler words, pauses, repetitive starts, and redundant explanations. Further editing the auto-edit draft is also easy with Diffusion Studio’s simple UI, which allows users to edit the video directly using either the transcript or the timeline. Additionally, Diffusion Studio runs entirely in the user's browser on the user’s hardware, which means there are no uploads or downloads to wait on once the video has been edited.\n\n**Check out our product at **[**https://v2.diffusion.studio**](https://v2.diffusion.studio)** - editing your videos has never been more effortless.**\n\nHomepage: <https://diffusion.studio>\\\nLinkedin: <https://linkedin.com/company/diffusionstudio>\\\nX/Twitter: <https://x.com/diffusionhq>\\\nGitHub: <https://github.com/diffusionstudio>",

        "answer": "The first hour with an AI app builder is misleading. A user enters a prompt, gets polished screens and a functional first version, and thinks the app is nearly finished. The hard part begins later, when they add authentication, payments, user data, permissions, subscriptions, analytics, and the next 20 changes.\r\n\r\nThe problem is not that AI cannot generate code. It is that a real app is a connected system of product, design, data, and engineering decisions. When those decisions are not made explicitly, the AI guesses. Each guess may work on its own while conflicting with another part of the app, so every new feature makes the product harder to fix, test, and launch.\r\n\r\nThis matters because AI has opened app development to people who should not need to act as a product manager, designer, engineer, and QA lead at the same time. Existing tools give them generation without the structure needed to turn an idea into a durable product.\r\n\r\nWe started x1 after seeing the same pattern repeatedly: people could create an impressive demo quickly, then became trapped in prompt-and-fix loops. x1 asks the important questions first, turns the answers into a plan, lets users design the screens before development, builds in milestones, and verifies each step before moving on.\r\n\r\nThe goal is not just a faster demo. It is a working iPhone app that can keep improving."

AI can generate pieces of that work, but the founder still has to coordinate disconnected tools and repeatedly explain the product from scratch.\r\n\r\nx1 will become the shared system for the entire app lifecycle. It will remember the product, users, design, data, and prior decisions, then carry that context into future releases, App Store assets, subscriptions, analytics, experiments, marketing, and customer feedback.\r\n\r\nA founder should be able to go from an idea to an app, from an app to a launch, and from a launch to a growing business without assembling a traditional software team.\r\n\r\nIf we succeed, people with strong ideas, taste, domain expertise, or distribution will be able to create durable app businesses on their own. x1 will be the operating system for one-person app companies."

        "body": "Hey everyone! We're Allen and Advait from Friday and we are using AI to help you reduce your email inbox to only the most essential emails, teaching your assistant how to handle the rest.\\\n\\\n**TLDR:** Email sucks, and takes forever. Most of your emails don’t require you to personally handle them. So, like a human assistant, Friday will draft responses, perform outreach and follow up, text you when you get urgent emails, get rid of clutter, and more, so you can focus on the dozen or so actually important emails in your inbox.\n\nFriday is meant for anyone who would benefit from having an assistant manage their inbox. If you want to automate 99% of your emails, [try Friday](https://www.fridaymail.ai/) right now!\\\n<https://youtu.be/2Dq11hlJhqs>\n\n### **The Problem:**\n\nEmail sucks. You either spend hours dealing with all the emails in your inbox, or you ignore them.\n\nIt takes forever, and hiring a human assistant is costly and introduces privacy concerns.\n\n### **The Insight:**\n\nThe reality is that almost all of the emails you receive resemble emails that you have dealt with before.\n\nSo, you can just tell an AI what kind of emails you get, and tell it exactly how to handle those emails, and it can just do it for you.\n\nNow, you only have to deal with the important, fun, or unique emails, forever eliminating the chore of going through your inbox.\n\n### **The Solution:**\n\n# **Smart Inbox**\n\nYou can tell Friday the kinds of emails you get using natural language, and then define actions that Friday should take once those emails come in.\n\nFor example:\n\n* When you get an investor email, Friday gives personalized answers to their questions and sends them a meeting link.\n* If a customer has an urgent request, have Friday text you so you can respond to them immediately.\n* Follow up with clients that take forever to answer their email, until they respond (they should use Friday).\n* If you get customer support emails, Friday answers their questions based on its memories and forwards the interaction to your cofounder.\n* Summarize all the notifications from GitHub, Linear, Google, etc., and then archive those emails\n* Whenever you get a new customer, Friday can search the web and write a personalized email to all of them, answering any questions they may have, immediately\n* And so much more!\n\nJust take a look at your inbox, see the emails that aren’t extremely important, and let Friday handle those emails from now on, so your inbox is left with the 5 emails a day that you want to personally handle.\n\n# **Personal Assistant**\n\nFriday also lets you chat with your personal assistant. You can have it reply to emails, check your inbox, send out personalized outbound, and more!\n\nFor example, if you wanted a meeting with Garry, you could ask Friday to go through your previous email history with Garry, perform a web search to learn more about Garry, and using what it knows about you, write a personalized email to him.\n\nYou can give it a dozen names or emails, and it’ll do research and write personalized emails to all of them that can be approved and sent out with a single message.\n\nGetting this right is difficult, so everyone else settles with trying to help you go through your email twice as fast. If you want to go 100x as fast, you shouldn't spend even a second on useless emails.\n\n### **Our Ask:**\n\n**This product is meant for anyone who would benefit from having an assistant manage their inbox. If you want to automate 99% of your emails, **[**try Friday**](https://www.fridaymail.ai/)** right now!**\n\n**Happy Friday!**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85611&key=user_uploads/89898/62484de1-6fae-4ea8-afb2-6ac748297bf4)\n\n",

No more endless hunts for ground truth or time-consuming status updates!\n\n**Demo**\\\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUKDdNCNeK0>\n\n**The Problem**\\\nCTOs, VPs, and Directors of Engineering can’t truly see what’s happening across their teams.

There’s too much context for any one person to track, leading to incomplete or inaccurate reporting.\n\n**The Solution**\\\nOki aggregates all your project data - no setup or manual input required - and surfaces behind-schedule items, emerging blockers, and under-resourced teams. You can drill down into any issue to see exactly what’s happening, so instead of spending meeting time asking, “What’s the status?” you can focus on, “How do we fix it?”\n\n**Our Ask**\n\n* If you’d like to use Oki right away - we’d love to chat!

The idea was simple: we’d record cars going by and for each Cybertruck we counted, we’d buy a share of Tesla stock. It had all the makings of a viral video, but after recording, we came back to hours of raw footage of cars driving by. It quickly dawned on us that we’d have to scrub through this entire raw footage to count the Cybertrucks. As we began editing, we experienced firsthand the frustration of trying to accomplish simple tasks in video editors like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro. Features are hidden behind menus, buttons, and icons, and we often found ourselves Googling or asking ChatGPT how to do certain edits. We thought that now — with multimodal AI — we could accelerate some of this process. And better yet, if the AI is built into your video editor, it could automatically apply edits based off what it sees and hears in your video. The idea quickly snowballed and we began our side quest to build the _Cursor for Video Editing._"

        "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?",
        "answer": "We spent the first month of YC building our entire video editor and making our multimodal chat copilot powerful and stateful. But after talking to users, we quickly realized that the chat interface has some limitations for video, primarily because of chat’s inherent prompt-response sequential UX. We spent month 2 of YC going back to first principles to create a new, agentic paradigm for video editing. The result: a node-based canvas which enables you to create and run your own multimodal video editing agents. The idea is that canvas will run your video editing on autopilot, and get you 80-90% of the way there. Then, you can go into the editor & chat with your video for the final touches and polish."

        "body": "Hey YC! We’re **Alberto and Rami**, the founders of **Lucid**.\n\n<https://youtu.be/fnoyvrGOwIA>\n\nWe’re building generative simulations powered by fast world models. Instead of using traditional game engines with hard-coded physics, our models **learn to simulate reality from pixels**, enabling **real-time interactive environments**. With it we will train robots in their own imaginations and make unbounded gaming experiences. We trained the fastest world model ever seen to simulate minecraft end-to-end (20+fps on a gaming GPU).\n\n### **The Problem: Game Worlds Are Static & Expensive to Build**\n\nModern game development is **slow, expensive, and constrained**:\n\n* **GTA V took 3 years, 1,000 employees, and $100M+** to build—AAA game budgets are skyrocketing and they’re not getting any better.\n* Despite the price tag, these games are inherently **static**, with **predefined** environments, objects, and interactions.\n* Players can’t truly shape the world—every door, street, and event is **pre-scripted**.\n\nMeanwhile, **robotics** faces its own **bottleneck**—AI models trained in simulators (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Gazebo) **fail to generalize to the real world (Sim2Real gap)** because today’s simulations are **hand-coded approximations** of physics rather than learned from real-world data.\n\n### **Our Solution: Generative World Models**\n\nLucid replaces **traditional game engines** with a **generative simulation engine** that **learns from data** rather than being manually programmed.\n\n* **Every frame is generated in real-time**, conditioned on player actions.\n* **Trained on video, not game scripts**—our models learn the rules of physics **directly from pixels** rather than hardcoded logic.\n* **Infinite, dynamic game worlds**—players can generate and explore entirely new environments just from a text prompt or sample concept art.\n\n### **A Neural Minecraft Simulator**\n\nWe trained a neural network to **simulate Minecraft end-to-end**—every pixel is generated in real-time, learned from **200 hours of gameplay.**\n\n* **Runs at 20+ FPS on an NVIDIA 4090—5× faster than existing world models (Decart’s Oasis <4 FPS).**\n* Aggressive latent compression—we utilize a VAE with 128x spatial compression allowing us to vastly reduce the amount of tokens needed to represent a single frame\n\n### **What’s Next? Training on the Real World**\n\nWe’re now training our models on **real-world video data** to build a **general-purpose universe simulator** for:\n\n* **Gaming:** The last game engine humanity ever needs—generating unique environments dynamically from simple text or multimodal prompts.\n* **Robotics:** Simulations that actually **match reality**—training embodied AI models in diverse, realistic environments. A fully differentiable, learned simulation framework for reinforcement learning.\n\n### **Want to learn more?**\n\n* **Are you working on AI/robotics and need high-fidelity simulations?** We’re selecting early partners to **fine-tune** **LoRAs** on domain-specific data.\n* **Want to explore the future of generative gaming?** Sign up for **early access to Lucid v2**\n\n**Let’s connect!** Reach us at [**alberto@lucidsim.co**](mailto:alberto@lucidsim.co) or sign up at [lucidsim.co](http://lucidsim.co)",

He experienced extreme Zoom fatigue and discovered that it wasn’t just because he hated listening to boring medicine lectures—it also caused [neurophysiological](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-45374-y) problems.

What surprised us was that not only were people experiencing Zoom fatigue from back-to-back meetings, but even those **who wouldn’t turn on their camera** for a single call were using Pickle.\n\nEngineer moms who have to care for their kids, new employees with severe anxiety disorder, and CEOs who want to look professional no matter where they are—all these people found Pickle essential for their daily work. We realized that Pickle isn’t just a vitamin—**it’s a painkiller**.\n\n# **The lowest latency human model**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87621&key=user_uploads/2376609/95f16234-6efd-417b-880f-b00310ccbdbd)\n\nWe developed an ultra-fast human model that processes voice input and generates output in **under 0.3 seconds**. This enables a user’s Pickle to lip-sync almost simultaneously with what they say. Moreover, as our user base grows, our model rapidly upgrades thanks to the influx of data.\n\n# **Live together & work 24/7 in Hillsborough**\n\n[Daniel Park](https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielpkl/) - a medical school dropout who built a $2M/year e-commerce business at age 22 while still in medical school\n\n[Emmett Kim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmettpkl/) - a CS dropout and a super-generalist in product, design, and engineering, who is also the star of [our viral demo](https://x.com/getpickleai/status/1859284410136465671)\n\n[Sam Yu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sampkl/) -  our CTO; a summa cum laude CS & EE dropout who built a self‑driving AI model at just 21, is a believer in reinforcement learning, and met Emmett in high school\n\n[Sanio Jung](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saniopkl/) - a former medical doctor and self-taught engineer who developed an AI model for detecting wrist fractures and met Daniel in college\n\n[Chris Kang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispkl/) - a CS dropout and social media expert who created and managed an account that achieved over 100 million views\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87621&key=user_uploads/2376609/459c0987-33d6-4621-9329-c3ff18d68f0b)\n\n# **Our Ask**\n\nGet your own [Pickle](https://getpickle.ai/)!",

    "long_description": "Misprint is an all-in-one marketplace that solves the biggest pain point in the collectibles world: opaque pricing. Collectors, investors, and hobbyists currently rely on scattered data from auction houses, online forums, and reseller platforms, making it difficult to know the true value of their items. Misprint streamlines the process by combining accurate pricing analytics with a seamless buy/sell marketplace, making it easier than ever to understand and monetize collectible assets.\r\n\r\nExisting marketplaces lack robust, real-time analytics because accurate valuations require deep expertise in both the collectibles domain and advanced pricing algorithms. Misprint’s unique blend of insider trading card knowledge and machine learning allows us to fill this gap.\r\n\r\nBuilding these pricing models requires extensive data infrastructure, deep domain expertise, and cutting-edge ML. Recent surges in the trading card market show that collectors crave transparent valuations.\r\n\r\nThe global collectibles market is worth tens of billions of dollars. Eva has experienced the scale of this industry firsthand, generating $500k ARR within three months of taking her Pokemon card-selling side hustle full-time. With additional segments like sports cards, comics, and emerging collectible categories, the growth runway is immense.\r\n\r\nCo-founders Eva and Jon have been best friends since Exeter, combining finance expertise, a passion for collectibles, and mathematical rigor. By merging Goldman Sachs-level financial analytics with top-tier mathematical talent, Misprint is uniquely positioned to become the go-to platform for fair, transparent pricing in the collectibles space.",

        "body": "### **We Built Misprint: The First Transparent Marketplace for Collectibles**\n\n**TL;DR:** We’re [Eva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/eva-herget/) and [Jon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtjenkins18/), founders of [Misprint](https://www.misprint.com/) — the first **real-time bid/ask marketplace for trading cards** with **transparent pricing powered by machine learning.**\n\nThink of it like a **stock exchange for Pokemon cards**—finally, you can know your collectibles’ true value. Listing cards on our platform is 20x faster than competitors. Watch it happen:\n\n<https://youtu.be/Kq5-TWzFImA>\n\n### **How it Started**\n\n\\\nEva here! I just wanted to share how this crazy idea came to be.\n\n\\\nI've always loved trading cards—both as a collector and a player. When most people grew out of it in middle school, for some reason I never did. In college, I started making [YouTube videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/evasbinder) breaking down the financial side of Pokémon cards, from undervalued sets to spreadsheets showing the expected values of sealed products. Turns out, other people were into this too! I ended up writing for [TCGplayer](https://infinite.tcgplayer.com/author/Eva-s-Binder) and PSA’s Pop Culture Magazine while working at Goldman Sachs, but as my side hustle selling cards grew, I realized I was making more from Pokémon than my day job. So in July 2024, **I quit my high-paying job at Goldman to go all-in on selling shiny cardboard**, before Misprint was even an idea.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfArFZA5gfAKqzCXiksQZntOGn7edSdz6UxKhKpkIEiIeIsZCadK774R1wvOgmjCXEE9zYZeVpuQ3RwklXt_BLisS-JmFfJ0bRDMLhKP4L3Tozf0z3lUCv1qcYJzZlHwY9r-WRA?key=1zrj1FJsKZGIBB6KR2xeQLPo)\n\n_Me getting a signed poster at the 2024 Pokemon World Championship! So cool!!_\\\n\\\nBy fall 2024, I was selling over **$40K/month** in cards with **$16-20K in profit** – but the process was painful. Sourcing inventory was inefficient, listing cards took forever, and pricing was a mess. I asked my best friend from Exeter, Jon, to help me build a tool to price cards faster. As we gathered millions of sales for 200K+ unique cards, we realized we weren’t just solving my problem – we were onto something bigger.\n\nThat’s when we decided to apply to YC (thanks to a push from my roommate, ty Prady!!). We got in, and this fun side project turned into our entire lives. Jon dropped out of his PhD, and Misprint was born – a real-time, transparent marketplace for trading cards. Now, we’re building the future of collectibles, starting with Pokemon.\\\n\\\nAnd now for the shill…\\\n\\\n**The Problem: Market Inefficiency**\n\nRight now, collectors rely on **scattered, inconsistent data** from eBay, auction houses, and forums to guess at card values. Marketplaces don’t provide real-time analytics, and pricing is often biased or outdated. This leads to **unclear pricing** and **inefficient auctions that sell below market value.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87975&key=user_uploads/2304336/8c635927-b3ff-4ec4-9293-186d405f662a)\n\n### **How Misprint Fixes This**\n\n* **Transparent Pricing via ML** — We analyze **millions of data points** (auction results, grading data, past sales) to provide **real-time, data-backed card values.** No more guesswork.\n* **Two-Sided Exchange (Bid/Ask Marketplace)** — Buyers place **bids,** sellers list **asks,** and the platform **matches orders instantly.** This means **faster trades at fair prices** without the usual back-and-forth haggling.\n* **Fastest listing process** — Sellers can list 10+ cards with a single photo, over **20x faster** than competitors. (see demo above)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87975&key=user_uploads/2304336/e756f831-5d8b-47d8-a73f-d2a78ede5c09)\n\n### **Why We’re the Right Team**\n\n**Eva (CEO)** — **Left Goldman Sachs** to go all-in on trading cards, _before_ even considering applying to YC (or even really know what it was!) Hit **$500K ARR in 3 months** selling Pokémon cards. Runs the Pokemon-finance YouTube channel [Eva’s Binder.](https://www.youtube.com/c/evasbinder) Has written for PSA Pop Culture Magazine & TCGplayer Infinite. Absolutely addicted to shiny cardboard.\n\n\\\n**Jon (CTO)** — Mathematician turned machine learning expert. **Left his PhD** in ML to build cutting-edge pricing algorithms for collectibles. **Published researcher**, now leveraging deep expertise in modeling and optimization to redefine asset valuation in collectibles.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87975&key=user_uploads/2304336/429cebde-4bc5-4f46-b89b-e0319a7120f6)\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\n📢 **If you collect Pokémon, sports cards, or other collectibles—try out Misprint!** We’d love feedback from any collectors.\\\n📩 **If you know anyone in collectibles, fintech, or marketplaces, intro us!** Always looking to connect.\n\nFinally, here’s a bonus photo. If this doesn’t inspire confidence, we don’t know what will:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87975&key=user_uploads/2304336/ec5af821-69c1-4b42-ab86-a7467aca4a8c)\n\n# Reach out at:\n\n[eva@misprint.com](mailto:eva@misprint.com)\n\n[jon@misprint.com](mailto:jon@misprint.com)",

We’re [Sandra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-lifshits/) and [Maddy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mjyip/), cofounders of [Retrofit](https://www.retrofit.shop/)! 👋\n\n**TL;DR: **[**Retrofit**](https://www.retrofit.shop/)** is a vintage marketplace powered by AI. We use AI agents to curate and personalize in-demand, trending inventory. We analyze social media trends, sales data, and your personal style to find the best vintage pieces for you—so you don’t have to dig through thousands of listings to find vintage gems.**\n\n<https://youtu.be/-tw1LSSL91k>\n\n# 🚨**The Problem:**\n\nThe secondhand apparel market is booming — it’s estimated at $43 billion in 2024 in the US and expected to grow to over $125 billion by 2034. However the existing players have not kept up with this demand.\n\nShoppers want to buy more vintage online, but many don’t because the selection is **overwhelming**, inventory is **low quality**, and online secondhand shopping **feels like work**. Shopping secondhand often means sifting through garbage inventory and being an expert to find that incredible one-of-a-kind vintage gem. But this can finally change… \n\n# ⚒️**The Solution:**\n\nWe are building a new curated vintage marketplace powered by AI.\n\nOur AI agents sift through hundreds of thousands of listings from vintage sellers across the country, to find the **best inventory.** We rely on sales and trends data to determine what type of items people are looking for and then add only the best inventory based on factors such as brand, price, materials, and condition. \n\nOur inventory is **personalized to your style and needs**. Give us your style pinterest board or other inspo photos and we will personalize your recommendations. If we don’t have exactly what you are looking for right now, you can tell us what you are looking for and our AI agents will find it for you. \n\n# **🙌 Our Asks:**\n\n✅ If you love vintage or are vintage-curious, **check out our inventory at **[**Retrofit**](https://www.retrofit.shop/)**.** If you are looking for something specific, submit a request! \n\n✅If you know someone who loves vintage, **help us spread the word**.\n\n✅ **Follow us** on [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/106068920/), [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/retrofit.ai), and [Tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@retrofit.ai).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88315&key=user_uploads/1336189/3749b259-e0ea-4076-a908-b642dd629af2)\n\n# **🤝The Team**\n\nSandra gained **hands-on experience** by volunteering at several vintage stores in New York to understand their operations and vintage shopper’s behaviors. Her background is as a product leader at two different ecommerce startups. She met Maddy while getting her **MBA at Stanford**. Maddy brings her expertise in **computer vision** from her time at **Google** and **Stanford CS**. She led two computer vision patents during her time at Google.\n\nThank you for your support!

        "body": "Hey all 👋\n\n**TL;DR:** We took everything we learned from 10M+ messages across 150+ countries and built something new: **Alfi, a chat app with social skills to bring friends together.**\n\nAlfi is now live on [**iOS**](https://apps.apple.com/app/textai/6752585798) and [**Android**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.text.app). Available in 10+ languages.\n\n1. **Download [Alfi](https://www.text.ai/)**\n2. **Add your people**: your other half, closest friends, your coworkers, or your annoying siblings\n3. **Schedule your next hangout**: dinner, movie night, weekend trip. Let Alfi help.\n\n**We believe the group chat is the real social network.**\n\nIf you've got a group chat that's been a little too quiet lately... this is your sign.\n\n<https://youtu.be/pn07_bo6rfs>\n\n**🔄 The Rapid Evolution**\n\nYou may remember [**text.ai**](http://text.ai), our AI that lives inside SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram chats. Tens of thousands of users and over 10M+ messages across 150+ countries in a rapid few months showed us something we didn't expect:\n\nPeople didn't just want answers. We realized they wanted a social friend who understands and acts. Together.\n\nNot a sterile bot. Someone with personality and character. Someone who understood their unique group, who's vegan, who hates horror movies, who always wants ramen.\n\nThey wanted a premium chat experience that was inherently social.\n\nWhy?\n\nWe distilled it down to one thing.\n\nThere is a place where we feel our happiest. All of us.\n\nThe group.\n\nHumans are born into them. And thrive in them. But today, there are very few products to support them.\n\nPlaces where groups can live. But not thrive.\n\nAnd so, friends drift apart. Plans go unplanned. The chat fades.\n\nSo, we started building Alfi, our human-first, AI native approach to messaging.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97165&key=user_uploads/310607/5d5804e8-4d4d-462d-b9b0-ee26332baaa4)\n\n\\\n**💙 Meet Alfi**\n\nAlfi is your new social friend. The one who remembers everything, plans effortlessly, and keeps the crew together. Alfi also has a proprietary framework that knows when to talk (and when not to). We taught Alfi… social skills! No commands required.\n\nIt doesn’t simply process but understands context, group dynamics, and whether you’re actually asking for help or just chatting with friends.\n\nHere's what that looks like:\n\n* **Book restaurants together**, with Yelp built in(exclusive partnership), directly in the chat. No more \"where should we go?\" spirals. Reserve instantly.\n* **Create images _with_ your friends**: drop your crew into funny hats, wild scenes, anything you can dream up. Multiplayer image gen, first of its kind.\n* **Social calendar**: upcoming hangs, all in one place. Everyone is on the same page. No more managing separate cals.\n* **Group Wrapped**: who's the chattiest? Top inside jokes? Now you'll know. Something we all have wanted for the longest time!\n* **Reminders & Memory**: Alfi remembers your spots, your preferences, and nudges you to actually stay connected.\n* **Customize your Alfi**: Customize how Alfi responds, creates, and helps to fit in with your group’s style. Custom AI for each chat.\n\nOf course, you have your solo Alfi too! The group chat is simply sacred.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97165&key=user_uploads/310607/126e5f00-0d43-4168-8675-072d98c8df63)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97165&key=user_uploads/310607/60ea2956-bc47-4b79-9dfb-77b8cae6a9e2)\n\nSome beta user testimonies:\n\n* \"_It reminds my bf when he forgets our Farmers Market dates. Finally, someone else keeping him in check_ 😏\"\n* _\"We put ourselves in cute dresses together. So cute. I wanna buy now\"_\n\n\\\n**🌍 Why This Matters**\n\nWe're in the middle of a quiet shift. Gen Z is leaving broadcast social media. They're retreating to group chats, smaller, more intentional and personal spaces where they're honestly themselves.\n\nBut group chats are also where plans go to die. Someone has to be \"the planner\" or nothing happens.\n\n**We believe the group chat is the real social network.** Where the funniest moments and real conversations happen in real time. With Alfi, we hope to bring you together more expressively, a lot more often.\n\nThis technology will bring humanity closer than it's ever been before. Not replace connection, deepen it.

Known each other for years. We're building Alfi because we've experienced firsthand how technology meant to connect people often creates more friction.\n\nWe’re taking a first principles approach. Something I learned firsthand from Elon during my time at Tesla. We believe AI should fit into your life, not the other way around.\n\n---\n\n\\\n**🙏 Our Ask:**\n\n---\n\nPlease try out Alfi and share your feedback.\n\nWe’re on an ambitious mission to build the future of consumer messaging, and your feedback means a lot.\n\nCan’t wait to show you what 2026 has in store. We have some insane product updates coming soon.\n\nWith gratitude (and excitement),\n\nRushi, Prahar, & Paras\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97165&key=user_uploads/310607/4d2923ff-443a-49bd-8129-93f37e8dffda)\n\n",

We're thrilled to share what we've been building, **AI that lives where you already chat, no downloads needed**.\n\n**TL;DR**\n\n# **💡 What is **[**text.ai**](https://text.ai)**?**\n\nWe've brought AI directly into SMS (US & CA for now), WhatsApp (worldwide), and Telegram (worldwide) which over 5.5 billion people use daily.\n\nNo new apps to download, no learning curve, just text and go.\n\nWatch our YouTube product video:\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFOBlc6extw>\n\nWe also just made the top 5 on [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/text-ai) this past week! \n\n# **✅ How to try it:**\n\n1\\. Save our contact card: \\[[text.ai](http://text.ai)\\]\n\n2\\. Text directly or add to your group chats\n\n3\\. That's it! Works on \\[[SMS](https://www.text.ai/)\\], \\[[WhatsApp](https://wa.me/15626840069?text=What%20is%20the%20best%20Hawaiian%20city%20to%20visit%20for%20Spring%20Break%3F)\\], | \\[[Telegram](https://t.me/thetextai_bot)\\]\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89968&key=user_uploads/310607/11b0f146-9cef-4d39-9e68-63318cc9299f)\n\n# \n\n**🤔 Why did we build this?**\n\nEver tried explaining to your mom how to download and use a new AI app? Yeah... that's why we built [text.ai](http://text.ai).\n\nI built the first version just for fun, a personal travel companion for when I was hunting for hidden veggie restaurants on my first solo trip to Spain & Portugal (I'm vegetarian) and had no internet. It was ridiculously simple but solved a real problem for me.\n\nThen something unexpected happened. Friends started adding our AI to their group chats. They used it to plan Vegas trips, settle restaurant debates, and even as a digital wingman for date nights.\n\nThe magic? No one had to download a thing. AI just showed up where they already were. In their messages.\n\nNow we're obsessed with one mission: making AI accessible to everyone.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89968&key=user_uploads/310607/2bf7fa71-528a-4991-9028-ee07c428c527)\n\n# \n\n**🚀 Real magic happens in groups**\n\n\"TextAI saved our Friday night! Eight people with different diets, and it found this amazing Thai fusion place everyone loved. Even suggested dishes for our vegetarian friend. Now it's our go-to for plans!\" - Jackie\n\nNo more endless screenshots. No more one person having to take charge. And finally, a solution for that friend who says \"I'm okay with anything\" and then rejects every suggestion!\n\nWe help your group actually make decisions instead of just talking about them.\n\nOr you can use it to roast them.\n\nEither way it works well.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89968&key=user_uploads/310607/0441afac-10f3-4c9a-85de-e6d04f843e7c)\n\n**👥 The team behind the magic**\n\nFounded by myself ( [@rushishah](https://www.producthunt.com/@rushishah) , ex-Tesla), [@praharpatel](https://www.producthunt.com/@praharpatel) (Ex-Walmart Labs, Eventbrite, Opentable), and [@maniar](https://www.producthunt.com/@maniar) (ex-Gannett Media, McKinsey).\n\nWe're three friends who've been building products together since college. We're building [text.ai](http://text.ai) because we've experienced firsthand how technology that's meant to connect people often ends up creating more friction instead.\n\nWe believe AI should fit into your life, not the other way around.\n\n# **🔮 What's next?**\n\nWe're working towards going from just answers to action.\n\nSoon, from that same group chat, you'll be able to book a restaurant reservation directly without ever leaving the conversation, get group reminders, book each other's calendars, and even purchase items together.\n\n# \n\n**🙏 We'd love to hear from you**:\n\n* What is the first thing you’d ask [text.ai](http://text.ai)?\n* What group chat would you add [text.ai](http://text.ai) to first?\n* Which feature would make this indispensable for you?\n* Who in your life would find this most helpful?\n\n👉 Try it now: \\[[WhatsApp](https://wa.me/15626840069?text=What%20is%20the%20best%20Hawaiian%20city%20to%20visit%20for%20Spring%20Break%3F)\\] | \\[[Telegram](https://t.me/thetextai_bot)\\] | \\[[SMS](https://www.text.ai/)(Only US & CA for now)\\]",

        "body": "Hey everyone! We’re Michael and Morrie, the founders of Pingo AI 👋.\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\nPingo AI is an AI-powered language learning app that helps you **build fluency by talking with an AI tutor in real-life conversations**. As of July, we’ve grown to 300K+ users and $200K MRR since launching in January.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CP9Iyyxsgg>\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nMost language apps focus on memorizing phrases or completing gamified lessons. **Speaking is the most challenging part — and the one most apps overlook.** \n\nWhen most people finally get the chance to speak, they freeze. Fear of judgment, embarrassment over mistakes, and lack of confidence leave learners unprepared for the goal they've spent years working towards: having a real conversation.\n\n### **🗣️ The Solution**\n\n**Pingo helps you build fluency through immersive, AI-powered conversation practice.** You speak with an AI that guides you through realistic, everyday scenarios — like ordering food, booking a hotel, or making small talk. \n\nPingo adapts to your level, gives real-time corrections, and encourages natural language use. It’s designed to mimic the experience of practicing with a fluent speaker. You get comfortable speaking out loud, not just recognizing words on a screen, and improve through consistent, low-pressure practice. You’re using the language as you would in the real world.\n\n**Our goal**: Make language learning as simple as daily conversations with Pingo — a companion who understands your goals, remembers your progress, and keeps you motivated.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92655&key=user_uploads/1919921/8660d5ab-ecc4-4a24-9432-6ecc9baf493b)\n\n### **🚀 Traction**\n\n* **300,000+ users**\n* **$200,000 MRR**\n* **Averaging 100% MoM growth (200% in the past month)**\n\n### **Our Story**\n\nPingo started when we (Michael and Morrie), freshman year roommates, practiced Chinese together each week. Michael’s fluent, and Morrie has been learning for 8 years. We saw how powerful immersion is, but not everyone has a practice partner—so we built one.\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\n* If you or anyone is learning a language, give Pingo a try!\n* Download at <https://mypingoai.com> (available on App Store and Google Play)\n* We’d love to hear your feedback at [founders@mypingoai.com](mailto:founders@mypingoai.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92655&key=user_uploads/1919921/edb65ccf-c5c3-4d30-ac9c-1d8a895de47e)\n\n",

        "body": "Hey everyone! We are Tom and Ben, the cofounders of Kestroll.\n\n**TL;DR**\n\nKestroll is an **AI-powered media asset management platform** that automatically logs and organizes media assets (photos, audio, and especially videos), making terabytes of content easily searchable and instantly distributable.\n\n**The Problem**\n\nImagine you’re a filmmaker working on a feature-length movie, a creative producer at a professional sports team, or a digital asset manager at an enterprise.\n\n**For every hour of content, you must spend 3-5 hours watching it back and labeling it**. Even for labeled content, you will likely still have to rewatch again to find niche or specific moments that you didn’t explicitly label. And let’s not forget that people from other teams and departments will be constantly pinging you for specific shots they need.\n\nIn short, the logging process is tedious, the search experience sucks, and distribution is a bottleneck.\n\n**Introducing Kestroll…**\n\n[**https://youtu.be/iXUkRBFOL0w?si=JOtetl3RhWbvw1Pe**](https://youtu.be/iXUkRBFOL0w?si=9OYcXXKY2DcLSrT8)\n\nKestroll integrates with any media storage solution(s) (cloud, NAS, SAN, hard drives), making the following possible across terabytes of content:\n\n* Search for content via natural language, based on visual cues, abstract concepts, or creative intent\n* Access all media content from one interface for your entire team\n* Share content via links, instead of shipping hard drives or walking them down the hall to another department (yes, people actually do that)\n* Pull content found on Kestroll directly into the editing platform (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Lightroom, etc.)\n\n**Who we are**\n\nWe met in our freshman year, built one of the largest student-run startup accelerators in Boston during our sophomore year, and cofounded an AI language tutor in our senior year. Before building Kestroll, Ben worked as a founding engineer and Tom as a founding sales at seed-stage YC companies. Tom is also a videographer and felt this problem personally.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92522&key=user_uploads/712685/512c4d79-a337-4a5f-b0d8-f51c2b287d0c)\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nWe’d appreciate intros to anyone working with extensive amounts of media assets, especially videos!\n\n* Executives at Hollywood studios and production houses\n* VPs of Content or Digital Asset Managers at professional sports teams\n* Media asset managers at large organizations (universities, enterprises, non-profits, etc.)\n* C-suite of talent management companies, creative studios, and marketing agencies\n* Anyone working with extensive amounts of videos, photos, or audio content\n\nIf you’d like to learn more, we’d love to chat with you!

For big shoots, this can eat nearly half the project’s time and budget.\n\nCoCreate is an AI-native tool that does all of that in the background while you back up your footage, so by the time your card is copied, it’s already synced, proxied, organized, and ready to edit in Premiere, Avid, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve.\n\nIf you work with large volumes of footage, we’d love to onboard you as an early user, connect with assistant editors, post supervisors, or DITs you know, and get your feedback on our demo.\n\n**Problem**\n\nMedia prep is the slowest part of post-production. Professional video teams juggle multiple tools to back up, sync, proxy, and organize — a process that’s repetitive, error-prone, and can consume 40% of a project’s time and budget. Existing tools fail at solving this core issue.\n\n**Solution**\n\n\\\nCoCreate is an AI-native video editing and media organization tool that gets professional video editors from SD card to edit as fast as possible. CoCreate works in parallel during backup: we checksum your files for safety, automatically sync audio with video, create proxies, and organize footage by scene, take, date, camera, and person. The result: **weeks** of prep work done in **minutes**, with everything searchable, and exportable in your preferred format.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93051&key=user_uploads/1742167/95b007b5-884d-41f2-aab6-6bee44c19ef7)\n\n**Check out our demo:** https://youtu.be/zL4gAKHMHyo\n\n**Who it’s for**\n\nWe’re built for high quality video production teams — from massive YouTubers and indie shoots to large-scale post houses — who deal with large volumes of footage and need to move faster without sacrificing quality or safety. \n\n**Our backstory**\n\nTamish and Sid first met during New Student Orientation at Stanford three years ago and quickly became close friends. A year later, Archish transferred to Stanford and was introduced to them through the university’s vibrant music scene. The three clicked instantly — not just as musicians playing campus shows together, but also as classmates grinding through late-night problem sets as CS majors.\n\nAll three had been creating music and video content for years before Stanford, and they kept that momentum going on campus — producing projects that have collectively garnered millions of views across platforms. That blend of long-standing creative experience and technical expertise made them deeply familiar with the pain points of media production, ultimately inspiring them to build **cocreate** to make high-volume post-production faster, simpler, and more collaborative.\n\n**Our ask to the YC community:**\n\n* **Post houses / production teams** — if you handle lots of footage, we’d love to onboard you as early users.\n* **Introductions** to assistant editors, post supervisors, or DITs you know.\n* **Feedback** on our product demo — especially from those with experience in high-volume video workflows.\n\nIf you can help us with any of this, please reach out at [founders@cocreate.so](mailto:founders@cocreate.so).\n\nThank you!\n\n**Team**\n\nTamish Pulappadi - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamish-pulappadi/\n\nSid Yu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sid-yu/\n\nArchish Arun - https://www.linkedin.com/in/archisharun/\n\nMatan Hamam - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9327125/",

        "tagline": "Own your data. Use any model you want. Free and open source.❤️",
        "body": "Hey everyone! 👋 It's Braden, and I'm excited to introduce Whispering—a fully open-source, local-first speech-to-text app, and the first app in the Epicenter ecosystem. You can [give it a star](http://go.epicenter.so/github), install it [here](https://go.epicenter.so/install/whispering), and start using it today.\n\nI use Whispering multiple hours daily for voice coding, writing, and thinking out loud. I churned from Wispr Flow and Superwhisper after I built it.\n\nI think the ergonomics are quite delightful, and I hope you will too!\n\n[Voice coding workflow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpix588SeiQ)\n\n## **The Problem**\n\nYou use a transcription app, but you have no idea what happens to your data.\n\nThey’re not open-source. They might call themselves “local” or say “inference stays on device”—but you still can’t see the code. It’s a black box, and for all you know, _you’re the product_.\n\nYour voice recordings might be sitting on their servers and sold to other providers. You're locked into their ecosystem. When they pivot, get acquired, or shut down, your workflow will break.\n\nMany “AI transcription” startups are just API or local inference wrappers with subscription pricing. You speak into their app, they send your audio to a transcription API like Whisper, then charge you monthly for what you could run yourself. Some run locally, but none I found were open-source with the UX I needed.\n\n## **The Solution**\n\nTruly free and open-source transcription software that matches (or surpasses) the ergonomics of paid, closed-software alternatives. I think Whispering is now at that stage.\n\n## **What makes us different:**\n\nThere are many other applications in the transcription landscape. Whispering offers some notable features:\n\n* **Hands-free, voice-activated dictation**: One of our most ergonomic features so far. Press once to start the session, and it will automatically start and stop as you speak. No button-holding or toggling nonsense. Perfect for dictating when your hands are full\n* **Custom AI transformations with any prompt, any model:** Design custom transformations that chain multiple AI models to fix grammar, translate, or refactor your transcribed text\n* **Unbeatable price:**  Nothing beats free. If you bring an API key from [Groq Cloud](https://console.groq.com/keys), you’ll get nearly instantaneous transcription at $0.04/hour plus a generous free tier. And of course, if you run locally with Speeches, it’s completely free. We hope to expand our models soon.\n* **Open-source**: MIT licensed. Fork it, examine it, roast it. We pride ourselves in our code quality.\n* **Everything is local-first**: In Whispering, everything is local-first. Recordings are stored in IndexedDB, and settings are stored in local storage. Built with Svelte 5 and Tauri, and it's tiny (\\~22MB) and fast.\n\n## **Real Daily Usage**\n\n* **Talking to Claude in my room** (3-4 hrs/day): I use dictation to prompt Claude Code significantly faster than typing. I have a custom post-processing transformation set up so that every text blob that I dictate is passed through a Gemini 2.5 Flash prompt, making the output more Claude-Code-friendly (bullet points, etc.). Once done, I paste into Claude Code.\n* **While carrying pizza boxes back from the Y Combinator office:** My hands are full, so I’ll open the web app on my phone, turn on voice activated dictation, and then start yapping as thoughts come up. The words are waiting when I get back in my room\n* **Other custom transformations**: I have a common writing workflow of speech → Transcribe (Groq) → Fix Grammar (Claude 4 Sonnet) → Format (Gemini 2.5 Flash).\n\n## **Why This Matters**\n\nFundamental tools shouldn’t require trusting a black box. And they shouldn’t charge you rent for something you could run yourself.\n\nWe believe productivity apps should be open-source and transparent with your data, and we want to destroy their business models with open-source alternatives.\n\nThese alternatives will need to match them feature-by-feature, have a great UX, and eventually, be built on top of our shared memory layer.\n\n## **Where This Is Going**\n\nWhispering is the first app in the Epicenter ecosystem: local-first, open-source tools built on top of a shared memory of plain text and SQLite. We hope to replace siloed, data-driven tools with local-first alternatives that share a single, user-owned memory layer.\n\nWe also hope to support many more offline models over time, giving you maximum flexibility in how and where your data is processed.\n\nWe’re not stopping at transcription. While most transcription apps tinker with static dictionaries or custom word lists, our eventual goal with Epicenter is to leverage that shared memory. We could connect transcription to everything you think, write, and build, all within a trustworthy, local-first environment.\n\nWhispering would pick up your common phrases, technical terms, and more. Over time, you create custom transformation pipelines that adapt to your writing style, your voice, and your world.\n\n## **Our Ask**\n\n* 🌟 [**Upvote on Product Hunt**](https://www.producthunt.com/products/whispering?launch=whispering). Help others discover open-source alternatives\n* 💻[ **Download the desktop app**](https://go.epicenter.so/install-whispering) from our [installation guide](https://go.epicenter.so/install/whispering), or directly from our latest [releases](https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/releases)\n* ⭐ [**Star on GitHub**](https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering). Back local-first software. Fork it, break it, improve it. Everything’s MIT licensed. Copy whatever you want.\n* 💬 [**Join our Discord**](https://go.epicenter.so/discord). Shape what we build next\n\nTry it, and let us know what’s up. I hope Whispering becomes a part of your workflow!\n\n[Full Setup Guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jYgBMrfVZs)",

I would love to build with you.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZNOH5yKxO0\n\nHey everyone! 👋 It’s[ Braden](https://www.linkedin.com/in/braden-wong/), and I’m building Epicenter.\n\nEpicenter is an open-source suite of tools built around a single idea:\n\n**Creativity thrives when you blur the lines between disciplines.**\n\nYour tools should reflect that. Most tools divide you—one for writing, one for planning, one for research. We’re building tools that talk to each other—so you can stay in flow across every kind of work. \n\nEpicenter will be a growing software ecosystem—a text editor, a CRM, a personal assistant, and more—all built around a shared local memory.\n\n**The problem**\n\nModern knowledge work is fragmented.\n\nI journal into an app I don’t trust. I plan my week in a calendar app I’ll abandon next month. My notes drift aimlessly in systems I’ve outgrown. And every time I switch apps, the app forgets what I was working on.\n\nNotes, code, and ideas live in isolated tools that don’t talk to each other, breaking flow and burying context.\n\n**The solution**\n\nA suite of open-source tools that share a single memory: a folder on your machine. Open-source, open-format, and fully yours.\n\nThe tools share so you can make connections across disciplines. Your ideas and data are never locked in.\n\n[**epicenter.sh**](http://epicenter.sh)\n\nI just launched [epicenter.sh](http://epicenter.sh): a local-first assistant you can chat with. It lives in a folder, and we want to make it the access point to everything you’ve ever written, thought, or built.\n\n[epicenter.sh](http://epicenter.sh) is the first addition to Epicenter. This is your new shell: your second brain becomes your dialogue partner. You type; it thinks. You ask; it searches. Under the hood, it’s powered by a modified version of [Opencode](https://github.com/sst/opencode), an excellent open-source coding agent. We’ve made our own CLI and UI to simplify configuration and the user experience. It’s rough around the edges, but it’s our first step in laying the foundation for our future applications.\n\n**Where We’re Headed**\n\nIn a world where every app wants to trap you and your data, we’re building the opposite.\n\nEpicenter is open-source, local-first, and plain-text native—so you can trust it, tweak it, or take it with you. We’re building tools that support intentional, interdisciplinary thinking: software for people who read, write, build, and connect.\n\nA renaissance workflow, built on plain text and real ownership.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nWe’re early. But if you think like a generalist, build like a hacker, and value tools that respect your mind—we’d love to hear from you.\n\n**→ if you’re a cracked Svelte/Typescript developer, please[ DM me](https://go.epicenter.so/discord)**\n\n**→ star / fork / dive into the code on GitHub: [https://github.com/epicenter-md/epicenter/](https://github.com/epicenter-md/epicenter/)**\n\n**→ join the community on [Discord](https://go.epicenter.so/discord). share what you’re excited to build**\n\nSign up and tell us which tools you’d be most excited to use. Your input will shape what we build next.\n\n**About me:**\n\nAt 18, I taught myself to code while studying ethics, politics, and economics at Yale. Since then, I’ve averaged \\~10k commits/year and worked at three YC startups. I wrote my 65-page senior thesis on open-source governance and digital platforms. I care deeply about data ownership, open-source, and interdisciplinary thinking.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92752&key=user_uploads/1027274/a3ef7b07-ca73-4d27-bf0a-53e194f9f587)\n\n",

[**Nia**](https://www.trynia.ai/) is an MCP server that can index entire codebases & documentation sites, perform deep research, and more so agents like Cursor, Continue, and Cline “just know” the right answer.\n\n_In internal evals we improved Cursor’s performance by **27 %** once [**Nia**](https://www.trynia.ai/) had indexed external docs models couldn’t get from their training data or searching the web._\n\nhttps://youtu.be/WSqM5FmqFQM\n\n### **The Problem**\n\n* Coding agents are great with local files but fail when it comes to external context enrichment.\n* Agents are finally great at codegen, **terrible at retrieving the right context**.\n* You still copy‑paste GitHub and web links one‑by‑one and pray the model scrolls far enough.\n\nContext—not generation—is now the bottleneck.\n\n### **What Nia does**\n\n* **Indexes multiple repos & entire docs sites at once** via an MCP server.\n* Works as MCP server and can be used inside Cursor, Cline, Continue etc.\n* **Deep‑Research Agent**: ask “Compare LangChain, Llama Index, Haystack,” get an auto‑generated table (pros, cons, best pick) _and_ have all three repos pre‑indexed for later use.\n\n### **Get Started in &lt;3 minutes**\n\n1.

Our tutor, Feynman, analyzes your writing and thinking patterns in real time, guiding you with Socratic questions, targeted feedback, and visual explanations right where you’re working—helping you truly understand, not just memorize.\n\nYou can study on your own or invite friends to join you—discuss your thoughts, share your journals, and publish your learning in real time for others in the community to see! Opennote makes learning more engaging, social, and effective.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92047&key=user_uploads/2474963/dd596675-705e-4000-bbdc-5c559f3206d0)\n\n**Why This Matters**\n\nExisting tools are either static note-takers, passive quiz generators, or outdated LMS systems. Students are demanding smarter, more social ways to learn. Opennote is redefining the space by making learning truly interactive and collaborative.\n\n**The Team**\n\nWe’re a team of three undergrad CS and software engineering students with experience across building software at medtech, fintech, and infrastructure startups — and years spent tutoring and TA’ing. We’ve lived the education grind and built the product we always wished we had.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92047&key=user_uploads/2474963/6716fc0c-983c-4b71-9438-9d1855905c52)\n\n**Our Ask**\n\n* Are you a college student looking for better study tools?

Women lose half of their friends every 7 years, and yet there is no easy way to rebuild those circles. This fundamental problem has led to ⅔ of Americans regularly feeling lonely to no fault of their own.\n\nTHE SOLUTION:\n\nWe know that friendships form when three ingredients align: 1) compatibility, 2) repeat encounters, and 3) authentic conversations. That’s why we designed RealRoots to reliably deliver all three, allowing us to guarantee friendships.\n\n* **Friendship compatibility:** We ask women a questions about her life stage and values, matching with with compatible new friends in her area\n* **Repeat Encounters:** When a woman joins RealRoots, she commits to meeting her friend matches for multiple shared experiences, allowing enough repetition for connection to develop.\n* **Authentic Conversations**: RealRoots experiences are led by a trained facilitator, who guides deep conversations and icebreakers so that a woman gets to know her matches intentionally.\n* A woman joins for a quarter, a year, or longer.\n\n \n\nWHY WE’RE BUILDING THIS:\n\nWe’re building the product we desperately wished existed. After moving 10 times between us, we’ve repeatedly felt the struggle of rebuilding a community from scratch, and the isolation that follows. We created RealRoots because we want to solve this problem, for ourselves and for every woman seeking genuine connection.\n\nOUR ASK:\n\n**Meet friend matches (women only):** Have any female loved ones who are looking for female community? Spread the word about RealRoots. And if you’re a woman, we’d love to help you [meet your new local friend group](https://www.therealroots.com/).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93017&key=user_uploads/263511/8b7a20c9-56f7-4105-96c4-29a16d751ace)\n\n",

        "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
        "answer": "Derivative musical works are being created at an exponential rate, but artists aren’t getting credited, and billions of dollars are being left on the table.\r\n\r\nEvery year, millions of songs are uploaded to music platforms with uncredited samples. Generative AI has accelerated this problem: music is being trained on artists’ work and re-uploaded without attribution, ownership, or financial stake for the creators who made it possible.\r\n\r\nMixy flips this model. We celebrate artists by letting fans directly manipulate and share versions of their songs. Every time a fan shares their creation, the artist is automatically credited and their work is distributed more widely. Because Mixy owns the creation layer, attribution is native. We auto-credit every source track and pair it with a music-first social network built for playback and discovery.\r\n\r\nThe future isn’t millions of disconnected AI songs or samples, it’s millions of recognizable songs evolving through thousands of shared versions.\r\n\r\nWe’re tackling this because we love music, see a timely problem, and bring a world-class background in creative tools and consumer social."

        "answer": "If we truly succeed, Mixy will be the platform that redefines music in the age of derivative works. What TikTok is to YouTube, Mixy is to music.\r\n\r\nWe’ll be the first to establish proper licensing and attribution standards for a future where songs constantly evolve into new versions. Every derivative creation, whether a mashup, remix, AI-generated variation, or fan edit, will flow back to the original artist with automatic credit and revenue.\r\n\r\nMusic expression and consumption will no longer be limited to static recordings. Instead, the world will experience songs as living, evolving works. Fans will become co-creators, artists will be celebrated more widely than ever, and the industry will unlock billions in new value.\r\n\r\nIn this future, music is not just listened to. It’s played with, passed around, and endlessly reinterpreted, with artists always at the center."

We’ve optimized our own local models to produce real time, high quality mashups at no cost.\n\n⁕ Add your songs\n\n⁕ Instantly blend vocals and beats\n\n⁕ Play and share your mashup anywhere\n\n**Since Launch**\n\n⁕ $200k in donations, $20k MRR since launching our subscription last month\n\n⁕ #1 in Music and #3 Top Free overall on the App Store\n\n⁕ 1.5M users in 3 months\n\n⁕ 18M mashups made and growing\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95158&key=user_uploads/42474/cd3aa913-8172-4a48-a472-4d21f4e03eb8)\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_6p6g2CdE\n\n**What’s Next?**\n\n⁕ Instantly enable people to create full length mashups and remixes through our own music mixing model\n\n⁕ Create the best listening experience where all of your favorite songs combine and blend into one another in unimaginable ways\n\n⁕ Instantly pay out artists and creators per second on plays\n\n⁕ The music industry will unlock billions in value and Mixy will change how we experience music forever\n\n**Our Story**\n\nJoe and Jonah met as tech YouTubers in 2008, and began building apps together in 2009. They’ve worked at Apple, Instagram, and Skillshare. Recently Jonah led mobile at Tithly (Stripe’s 8th largest customers), and Joe founded a consumer social startup acquired by CoinList ($100M Series A), where he led product.\n\nAt the end of 2024, we started Mixy was started as a fun way for fans to make mashups of their favorite songs. Prototypes were shared on TikTok, which led to over 350k pre-orders before launch. Mixy debuted on June 19th, hitting #1 in Music and reaching #3 overall in the App Store. Since then, more than 1.5M users have created and shared over 18M mashups.\n\n---\n\n**Problem & Vision**\n\nWe believe Remixing is the new Shuffle.\n\nFans are searching for infinite ways to experience their favorite artists, and the tools to remix and create derivatives are far too complicated.\n\nFor artists, derivative musical works are being created at an exponential rate, but artists aren’t getting credited, and billions of dollars are being left on the table.\n\nMixy flips this model. We celebrate artists by letting fans directly manipulate and share versions of their songs. Every time a fan shares their creation, the artist is automatically credited and their work is distributed more widely. Because Mixy owns the creation layer, attribution is native. We auto-credit every source track and pair it with a music-first social network built for playback and discovery.\n\nThe future isn’t millions of irrelevant AI songs, it’s millions of recognizable songs evolving through thousands of shared versions.\n\nIf we truly succeed, Mixy will be the platform that redefines music in the age of derivative works. What TikTok is to YouTube, Mixy is to Spotify.\n\nWe’re tackling this because we love music, see a timely problem, and bring a world-class background in creative tools and consumer social.",

We built Blue because we actually want to be productive on the way to work – and for the 70% of Americans commuting just like us.\n\n## **How Blue Works**\n\nBlue enables full, hands-free phone control via a voice-first computer-use model. On iPhone, our tiny USB-C plug-in gives Blue the ability to tap and type on your behalf. \n\nBlue doesn't wait for developers to build special integrations.

        "tagline": "Where AI makes us more social",
        "body": "Social media has become more media and less social. When I open up Facebook and Instagram, I don’t see any of my friends on it anymore - it’s one third ads, one third content from strangers on the internet, and one third AI slop. My friends are no longer on social media - I either meet up with them IRL or catch up with them in group chats.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/KW2tjLl6sxM \n\nWhat if your group chats could help get you a reservation... and help you split the bill? Now it can.\n\nWe're building an AI-native group chat app that helps you hang out with your friends more. Your AI agent (digipal) knows your location, calendar, relationship history, and photos. It talks with your friends' digipals to coordinate IRL hangouts automatically - suggesting times when everyone's free, finding nearby restaurants and coffee shops, making reservations with AI calls, splitting bills from receipts, and nudging you to share photo memories after hanging out. \n\nRight now, coordinating hangouts with friends takes too much effort. We're removing that friction so you can spend less time planning and more time actually having fun IRL.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95189&key=user_uploads/1557194/7bae7c14-2266-4d71-82e2-f23716cf4f2a)\n\n**Where We're Going - The First AI-Native Social Operating System**\n\nDigipals work through AI widgets that pop up right in your group chat when you and your friends need them. Talking about dinner? The restaurant widget appears. Someone sends a receipt? The bill split widget shows up. You never have to leave the group chat to coordinate.\n\nWe're starting with widgets that make it easier to hang out IRL - restaurant reservations, movie/concert suggestions, flight/hotel bookings, bill splitting, and sports scores. Here's some sneak peeks:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95189&key=user_uploads/1557194/91296545-05f9-4057-b324-b600168547b9)\n\nThen we're adding widgets that help you stay close to your friends and make new ones - relive memories from fun times together in the past, post memes/articles/reels your group would actually find funny, surface life updates worth celebrating, and connect with friends of friends.\n\nEventually, anyone can build AI widgets for Digipals. Your group chat becomes the social operating system, and the widgets are the apps that enhance human connection.\n\n**Team**\n\n[Peggy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/peggy-wang-ai/) cares deeply about human relationships. For over nine years, she's grabbed dinner monthly with the same friends at Madras Cafe in Sunnyvale - the restaurant their group chat is named after. She's a second time founder who worked on the Metaverse at Meta Reality Labs, where she believed that the future of social connection was in virtual worlds and games. Now, she's convinced the future is simpler - it's showing up IRL.\n\nMathew made a hit solo game called [deadshot.io](http://deadshot.io) which has over 2M+ monthly active users. He enjoys connecting with others through playing music and video games, and joined the team to help make the future a little less lonely for everyone.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95189&key=user_uploads/1557194/7ee11258-ded8-466d-a9e5-ac5819801ad0)\n\n**Asks**\n\n* Please join the waitlist at [www.digipals.app](http://www.digipals.app) - we’ll be launching soon 👀 If you know Peggy personally, you can DM/text her to get early access :)",

        "body": "**TLDR;** **AirCaps is bringing AI assistance to in-person conversations.** \n\nOur AI-copilot provides live captions, translations, AI meeting notes and insights for in-person conversations in real-time. It's deployed as an app for lightweight AR glasses so you can see visual information overlaid onto your field of vision.\n\nYou can think of it like a Zoom AI meeting assistant or Granola, but for in-person conversations, and with the ability to proactively help you in real-time, not just after the conversation.\n\nWe’re building the capture and intelligence layer for the 216 billion daily conversations that happen face-to-face.\n\nWe’ve already transcribed 16,500 hours of in-person conversations and counting. Today, AirCaps assists with 11% of our users’ in-person conversations.\n\nWe did $93K in revenue in October and grew 6.5x from September while spending &lt;$3K on marketing (and hit $70K in revenue in the first 2 weeks of November). Our power users average 6h+ daily usage and our day-30 retention is 91%.\n\nWe previously went viral (75M+ views on TikTok, 150K+ followers) and have been featured by The New Yorker, WIRED, and Forbes.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95216&key=user_uploads/854295/06ddc792-97ec-4338-be78-adbcd7f493c1)\n\n**The Problem**\n\nThe average person struggles to understand and retain 50% of in-person conversations, forgets 70% within 48 hours, and can't review any of it.\n\nWe have 20-30 in-person conversations daily, meaning humanity generates \\~200B in-person conversations (on average 10 minutes, generating 36 billion hours of content) every single day.\n\nWhile virtual meetings have captions, recordings, and hundreds of AI assistants, these in-person conversations remain completely unassisted by technology.\n\nWhy?\n\n1. Form factor: There's no socially acceptable way to assist conversations in real-time. Phones kill eye contact, AirPods create audio-on-audio confusion, laptops are obvious.\n2. Technical complexity: Real-world audio is fundamentally messier - background noise and overlapping speech make it exponentially harder than virtual meetings. Most companies give up at 80% accuracy.\n\n[https://youtu.be/avyjB3LMTI4](https://youtu.be/avyjB3LMTI4?si=Mv9-h9PaKb5Yjx1M)\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nWe're finally bringing AI to real-world conversations. We’re deploying our software on a discreet, socially acceptable, always-on, and hands-free visual interface: AR glasses.\n\nOur earliest customers are people who need help understanding conversations (captions for real life) or translating languages for in-person business meetings, and meeting-heavy professionals - healthcare workers, executives, salespeople - who need real-time AI assistance during high-stakes conversations but can't use screens without breaking eye contact.\n\nWe’re building the killer app for the next platform: think Spotify / Instagram for phones before everyone had a phone.\n\nAR glasses are the only form factor that works for in-person conversations: \n\n* Always-on recording without disruption\n* Visual display in your field of view for real-time assistance (not just post-hoc)\n* Hands-free mobility and greater environmental awareness\n* Superior audio capture for better data ingestion\n* Greater social acceptability compared to phones, headphones, or other wearables for meetings (people already wear glasses)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95216&key=user_uploads/2955798/21e61d6f-e1c0-4361-af8f-af21fb3b87e3)\n\n**The Team**\n\nMadhav and Nirbhay have been obsessed with voice technology and AR for 11 years and met at an AR hackathon in the summer of 2024.\n\nMadhav (CEO, Yale CS) built his first Google Glass apps at age 13 and his first Jarvis voice assistant for RPis at age 14. He researched audio AI at MIT Media Lab, where he was part of the team that built the world's first live AI-human musical co-performance. His Yale thesis focused on extracting clean transcripts from noisy multi-speaker audio.\n\nNirbhay (CTO, Cornell CS) started building voice AI on smart glasses in high school, developing an emotional support tool for people with Autism. He's previously built voice and conversational AI platforms for therapy as the first hire at several early-stage (including YC) startups.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95216&key=user_uploads/2955798/be18a62d-22bf-493e-a76c-b222b16a933d)\n\n**Why Now**\n\nThere’s never been a better time for us: AI is becoming faster & more accurate for speech, and people are starting to default to AI assistance for conversations: 3 out of every 4 professionals uses AI notetakers for virtual meetings. And not to mention: Meta, Apple, Google are investing $200B+ to ensure everyone wears AR glasses.\n\n**Ask**\n\nIf you know doctors who use medical transcription services, or organizations that rely on field sales (real estate, home services, retail), please connect us!",

        "body": "[https://youtu.be/2e7qK8pPn2M](https://youtu.be/2e7qK8pPn2M%5C)\n\nWhen our co-founder and CTO, Erik, told us he wanted to build another language app, we weren’t convinced.\n\nHe had already taught himself Spanish, French, and Italian in a year, but we asked:\n\n“Why would we compete with a $15 billion giant?”\n\n“How did Duolingo make hundreds of millions and still get no one fluent?”\n\nWe had worked on a few startups together before, so we knew Erik wouldn’t let go of the idea easily. Then Julia joined us. We’d met in a university entrepreneurship class where we built a pharmacy voice assistant. It worked - but none of us cared deeply about it. After a few false starts, we realized we wanted to build something that actually mattered to people - and to us.\\\n\\\n**The research**\n\nBefore writing a single line of code, we did the homework.\n\n* We downloaded and used 52 language learning apps. Every single one.\n* We interviewed 65 learners across Reddit, Discord, and our own circles.\n* We studied Comprehensible Input - the most research-backed method for language learning, developed by Dr. Stephen Krashen at USC: learn through listening and context first, just like a child.\n\nThat’s when we saw the gap. The market leader wasn’t helping people go from beginner to fluent. The problem wasn’t motivation - it was that no one had built a mobile-first, science-based product that actually made learning feel natural.\n\n**The first test**\n\nWe built a simple MVP, a video player with captions - and went to a local university. Standing outside a Spanish 101 classroom, we stopped 20 students and showed them Parrot V0. We asked one question: “If this helped you understand Spanish videos effortlessly, would you pay $30 for early access?”\n\n60 percent said yes - on the spot. That was the moment we knew we might be onto something.\n\n**Why we’re building Parrot**\n\nParrot makes learning a language as fun and addictive as scrolling TikTok. Every swipe exposes you to real-world Spanish videos you can actually understand - powered by the science of Comprehensible Input.\n\nWe started this because learning a language shouldn’t feel like homework. It should feel like discovery. Like travel. Like connecting with someone new.\n\n\\\n🦜 Try Parrot → [https://www.parrotapp.com](https://parrotapp.com/)",

        "body": "Hello everyone! We’re [Anish](https://x.com/_anishgupta_) and [Marc](https://x.com/marczog), the Co-Founders of PlayVision!\\\n\\\n**TL;DR:** PlayVision lets basketball teams automatically analyze their practices and games to get advanced stats on their players, opponents, and college or high school recruits. We use AI and computer vision to get insights based on their tracking data.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/MZynlUcUdeU\n\n\\\n**The Problem**:\n\n❌ Coaches spend over **75%** of their week watching film and manually tagging different stats.\n\n❌ College Teams spend **$250K+** on services like HUDL, Synergy, HDI, and other different products just to watch film and scout players.\n\n❌ There are up to **25x** more coaches between teams across Division 1 basketball — most programs lack the man-power to watch the same amount of film and create a comprehensive game-plan.\n\n❌ College athletes are now able to get paid via their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Teams are scrambling trying to figure out how much players are worth.\\\n\\\n**Our Solution**:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94935&key=user_uploads/2540850/425a0c3f-1d4d-4e7d-a46e-241f9655aa11)\n\nAn interactive platform that lets coaches upload their film and get the insights they want. We track every player, every movement, every decision made on the court. \n\nWith our database, we also feature:\n\n🏀 Our algorithms that rank every player in the country over the last **10** years.\n\n🏀 Custom indexes where teams leverage over **40** metrics to create their own stats to rank players.\n\n🏀 Automated scouting reports that give coaches **10x** the insights on their players and opponents in **10%** of the time.\\\n\\\n**Our Story:**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94935&key=user_uploads/2540850/4ec6f501-bfc9-4758-81e5-910ce716dcc0)\n\n\\\nI, Anish, was a massive sports fan growing up. I couldn’t play college athletics due to an eye surgery, so I joined Cal Athletics as a scout. I saw first-hand how tedious the manual film analysis was, having to stay late in the office with coaches trying to finish the games we set out to do.\n\nThe timing couldn't have been better. Marc, fresh from two years of AI and computer vision research at the Mayo Clinic, happened to be in my AI in SportsTech class at Berkeley. I pitched him my problem, and within minutes, we were deep in discussion about how AI and computer vision could crack it.\n\nLeveraging my connections in the college space, we started getting validation from coaches, expressing the same pain points I had. We’ve partnered with teams from the SEC, BIG 10, and BIG EAST conferences, and you could be next!\n\n**Our Ask**:\n\n👉 Our product is now live for the 2025-2026 basketball season. If you know anyone that works for a college, NBA, or international basketball team that would be interested, please reach out via email: [team@withplayvision.ai](mailto:team@withplayvision.ai)!\n\n👉 If you’re interested in getting data on your favorite players, sign up for our player portal on our website: https://withplayvision.ai/ \\\n\\\nReach us:\n\n* https://www.linkedin.com/in/anishjaygupta/\n* https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-zoghby/",

Think of Flick as Figma for AI filmmaking.\r\n\r\nThere are 4 complete AI short films created using Flick that got 20+ awards in international film festivals already and our early creator residency community are generating several AI short films every week.\r\n\r\nWe are also building a community where we produce our own AI films as well as collaborating with other well-known filmmakers to share their “behind-the-scenes” workflows as resuable templates to inspire users in our community. We not only build product, we also build world-class content.\r\n\r\nThe whole film industry will be revolutionized by AI and our goal is to be “the product” that defines this category.",

Creators think in a non-linear way — moving back and forth freely to iterate, making decisions at every step. To direct a film, creators need not just visual and character consistency, but also character movement, shot angles, camera language, and emotional arc.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nFlick puts creative power back in the hands of filmmakers:\n\n1. **Infinite Canvas + Chat**\n\n   An infinite canvas where users upload or generate text, images, and video as connected nodes. We integrate multiple models, but instead of prompt-to-video, we let filmmakers think in terms of scripts, characters, and scenes and give them a natural “chat to create on canvas” experience.\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95208&key=user_uploads/2980671/b8812b5c-bb57-4071-9c06-8fe98632f7d0)\n\n2. **Editing while creating**\n\n   Creators like to go back and forth when making shots, so we built editing tools directly into the canvas. So, they can define exactly what kind of shot they want to add or delete to ensure a stronger narrative.\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95208&key=user_uploads/2980671/03442527-7251-4885-9368-05ebffdb3191)\n\n3. **Studio + Perplexity for film scenes**\n\n   No one creates from nothing, we’ve needed inspiration since the beginning of humanity. That’s why we’re building [Studio](https://flick.art/studio/experiments-too-boring?from=home), where we produce our own [AI films](https://flick.art/studio/short-films-a-letter-in-early-fall?from=home) and collaborate with leading filmmakers to share their behind-the-scenes workflows as reusable canvases and templates for our community members.\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95208&key=user_uploads/2980671/9c2e48c5-fdcc-4228-9782-250c0b8325d6)\n\n   And integrated Perplexity for film search, allowing users to find classic film shots as references.\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95208&key=user_uploads/2980671/508c6b70-0b8d-4c27-8f40-74481ffde11f)\n\n\n### **Connect Hollywood？**\n\n[**John Rosenberg**](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0742239/) is a Hollywood filmmaker, producer, and production executive with over 30 years experience. He has worked at studios including 20th Century Fox, Orion, and New Line. His films have premiered at Sundance.\n\nJohn also is a professor at [USC’s School of Cinematic Arts](https://cinema.usc.edu/directories/profile.cfm?id=33682) and a member of ACE (American Cinema Editors). His editing books, published by Routledge / Focal Press, are widely used by film students around the world.\n\nJohn joins Flick as our advisor to connect Hollywood filmmaking craft with the next generation of AI storytellers.\n\n### **Now**\n\n👉 Make your first film: [flick.art](https://flick.art/?invite_code=YCLAUNCH) with code: YCLAUNCH\n\n[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/flickart) | [X](https://x.com/flickart_ai) | [Discord](https://discord.gg/SPYgXej78k) | [Instagram](https://instagram.com/flickart_ai) | [TikTok](https://tiktok.com/@flick_art)\n\n### **About Us**\n\n[**Ray**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruiwang3/) was a founding engineer at Instagram AI team, who helped build the first version of Instagram Stories, launched it and helped grow it from 0 to 400M DAU in 2018. As main contributor, wrote almost all the backend code in the first year. Have built multiple profitable AI products in the past venture.\n\n[**Zoey**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/z0ey/) has been a filmmaker since 2013, graduated from Brown and RISD. She is an award-winning filmmaker and product designer. Previously her creations include commercials for Mercedes-Benz, viral short films with millions of views, an award-winning documentary, and collaborations with leading film talents such as cinematographer Thierry Arbogast (_Léon_). Her AI filmmaking research was published at [SIGGRAPH 2025](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3721250.3742968).\n\nFlick was emerged from the creation of Zoey’s first AI film that got best visual award at [MIT film festival](https://mitaifilmhack.com/winners/). Since then, there are 4 complete AI short films created using Flick that got 20+ awards at international film festivals and our early creator residency are generating several AI short films every week.\n\n---\n\n### **Mission**\n\nThe next generation of creators won’t think about “prompting models” at all, they’ll just direct, compose, and feel, and the tools will disappear into their creative flow. That’s the future we’re building toward. And that’s why we exist.\n\n### **Ask**\n\nIf you know film studios or creators interested in AI filmmaking, reach out to us: [founders@flick.art](mailto:founders@flick.art) ✌️🍊\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95208&key=user_uploads/2980671/97d97c4c-82b0-4de1-8bb5-e3a579aa677c)\n\n",

        "body": "Hi everyone 👋\n\nWe’re [Jeff](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-mao/) and [Tyler](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-ma-9854751aa/), co-founders of [SellRaze](https://www.sellraze.com/).\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\n**SellRaze can sell your stuff from just a pic, using AI.** Over 200,000 users have already listed 500,000+ items, with 2,500+ added every day.\n\n<https://youtu.be/Nl3zOYSLT_Q>\n\n**Our Story**\n\nIn high school, I (Jeff) was a reseller. Instead of paying attention in math class, I would spend hours trying to buy limited-edition Jordans.\n\nAt first, I thought getting inventory was the hard part. But as I scaled to hundreds of items, I discovered the real bottleneck was actually selling them.\n\nEvery item took 30+ minutes: research comparable prices, write descriptions, take photos, fill in product details, post across eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace. Then do it all over again for the next item.\n\nI had thousands of dollars in inventory just sitting there because the listing process was killing me.\n\n**We realized this wasn't just a reseller problem.** The average American household has $4,000 in unused stuff lying around, yet most Americans who've sold online quit after just a few listings. Valuable inventory sits unsold, not because there aren't buyers, but because the listing process is too manual to make sense. With AI, this is finally changing.\n\n🗣️ **What we’ve built**\n\nSellRaze turns a photo into a live listing **in seconds.**\n\nPoint your camera at anything. Our AI identifies the item, determines what it's actually worth, selects the best photos, fills in every detail, and lists it across multiple marketplaces, automatically. Once it sells, we arrange free pickup from your door.\n\nThe entire process, which used to take 30+ minutes, now takes seconds.\n\nWe're building more ways to help sellers make money faster, including our own marketplace where video and social discovery replace static search.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94942&key=user_uploads/1004744/bf667419-2fcf-4f16-9d62-d583ca997790)\n\n**🚀 Traction**\n\n* 200,000+ signups\n* Averaging 30% MoM growth\n\n**Our Team:**\n\nJeff (CEO) likes breaking stuff. In high school he built “sneaker bots” to buy Jordans faster than everyone else. During COVID, he started a company reverse-engineering anti-bot systems from PerimeterX, Akamai, Datadome, and Amazon, then sold the exploits to scalpers. It crashed the supply chain for 30-series NVIDIA GPUs, PS5s, and Xbox X's. He made his first $100,000 before turning 18.\n\nTyler (CTO) spent college writing telemetry and control software for industrial robotics at UGA, then moved to Georgia Tech Research’s CIPHER Lab, working on cybersecurity and hardware evaluation research that protects critical infrastructure. He built the systems Jeff loves to break.\n\nWe both met in college as roommates and have been building software for eCommerce over the past 5 years.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94942&key=user_uploads/89898/c72d5644-48f3-49ed-b9fc-d804dc1f3a60)\n\n**🙏 Our Ask**\n\n* If you’re moving out, decluttering, or making extra money on the side selling stuff online, give SellRaze a try!

When he began publishing his own peer-reviewed research, he ran into the same inefficiencies firsthand.\r\n\r\nSince age 16, he had been building tools to make research faster, including _pygetpapers_ for automated research paper downloads, software to standardize ethics statements in medical research, and a parser for IPCC climate reports.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Ryan was taking his own entrepreneurial path. In high school he co-founded _Crackin’ Coffee_, a subscription startup that shipped boxes from local roasters to customers in ten countries. He later sold Instagram management services and built Deep Point Lab, which grew to $8k MRR by selling websites and marketing services to small businesses. Those early ventures gave him a foundation in sales, user psychology, and scrappy execution.\r\n\r\nThe release of large language models marked an inflection point. Ayush and Ryan, who by then were roommates and best friends in college, realized they could finally tackle research inefficiency at scale. They teamed up to build AnswerThis.\r\n\r\nFrom launch, researchers subscribed immediately. Many reported that AnswerThis helped them finish theses in weeks instead of months and raised the quality of their work by making far more prior research accessible."

        "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
        "answer": "Our long-term vision is grounded in two fundamental truths that deeply motivate us: humanity must become a multiplanetary species, and humans must live longer, healthier lives. Both goals require a dramatic acceleration in scientific progress. That is what we are building AnswerThis to enable.\r\n\r\nWe are starting with research papers and academia, but our ambition is to expand across all knowledge formats and empower every kind of knowledge worker. Research will no longer be buried in static PDFs, and discovery will not be limited to PhDs. Scientists will be empowered by adaptive tools instead of held back by software that has not changed in a decade.\r\n\r\nIf we truly succeed, science itself will move faster. The barriers to accessing, understanding, and applying knowledge will collapse, and the pace of discovery will match the urgency of humanity’s biggest challenges."

We’re [**Ayush Garg**](https://linkedin.com/in/ayush4921) and [**Ryan Mccarroll**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-mccarroll-/) from [**AnswerThis**](https://answerthis.io/)**.**\n\n**TL;DR**\n\nAnswerThis analyzes all the relevant research in your field to answer complex scientific questions with line-by-line citations. Over 250,000 researchers have saved months on their literature reviews using AnswerThis, making it one of the fastest-growing apps in the research space.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKTS2QWnjqw\n\n**Problem**\n\nOver 5 million research papers are published every year. Researchers spend months crawling through academic databases to conduct their literature reviews. By the time they finish, new literature has often been published.\n\nWhen they finally have their literature collected, they must read dense papers while taking detailed notes. If they want to explore a new aspect of the topic, they have to repeat the process, making it difficult to advance science quickly.\n\nOnce they have their notes, synthesizing the findings into a detailed literature review requires precision, highly accurate citations, and concise but informative scientific writing. \n\nThis entire process is extremely time consuming, and takes away from actual experimentation. \n\n**Solution**\n\nEnter your question, select your filters, and AnswerThis searches multiple academic databases to answer it with exact citations to every relevant paper. The literature review that took months, now takes minutes.\n\nYou can save the sources, analyze them, and write with our AI assistant on a single platform while collaborating with your team. \n\nWe also integrate with tools researchers already use, like Zotero and Mendeley, and we offer advanced exports that correctly carry over citations and equations.\\\n\\\n**The user is able to verify each source, and save it to their AnswerThis library:**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95086&key=user_uploads/1865432/9de71f23-808b-4153-9713-43054d59498e)\n\n**Our story**\n\nAyush, the son of two PhD scholars, began publishing peer-reviewed articles at 16, with early work in natural language processing focused on parsing scientific literature.\n\nRyan, who leads product and growth, started selling products at 17 and scaled multiple Instagram accounts to hundreds of thousands of followers.\n\nTogether, they bring a blend of research depth and growth expertise, united by a passion for accelerating scientific discovery.\n\n**In the last two months, AnswerThis has answered over 250,000 scientific queries!**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95086&key=user_uploads/1865432/7e97a799-80db-4dd8-a75b-3d852253cca8)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95086&key=user_uploads/1865432/bea80570-595b-493b-9b97-f52d94354908)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95086&key=user_uploads/1865432/f34289f2-c190-41a3-8927-a953f191f332)\n\n**Our ask**\n\nIf you’re a researcher or just want to try the product, please visit [**AnswerThis.io**](http://AnswerThis.io).

        "body": "Hey everyone! We’re [Joseph](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannim/), [Jaihee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-jaihee/), and [Dan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gy-han/), co-founders of [Aleph Lab](https://alephlab.ai/). \n\nWe’re building your child’s AI language buddy in the games they already love, helping your child learn a new language while they play—think of it as Duolingo inside Minecraft.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/d6zcIRppOQk\n\n# **❌ The problem**\n\n1\\. Children on average play video games for 4+hrs/week. Many parents feel guilty about the screen time and worry that their kids aren’t being productive.\n\n2\\. Many parents want their children to learn a new language, but it’s challenging to have their kids sit through even a 30-minute class because it’s boring. Private native speaker tutors are expensive, costing at least $35/hr. \n\n# **👷Our solution**\n\nWe turn games into real language learning by bringing Annie inside Minecraft who secretly teaches.\n\nHere’s a video of Emily, our customer, playing with Annie.\n\n**Ask:** If you’re a parent or know one with a child learning English, start learning in Aleph kids today: https://alephlab.ai/\n\nhttps://youtu.be/hAW5eWn4qhA\n\n* Annie’s now taught over **2,000 sessions**.\n* Many kids improved by more than **a grade level in just five sessions**. \n* We even convinced families to buy Minecraft for $30 to learn in Aleph Kids.\n\n \n\n**Pedagogy**: Annie prompts kids to speak hundreds of words and absorb new vocabulary, and corrects their grammar in real time, helping them improve every time they play.\n\n**Beginner-friendliness**: We provide real-time transcriptions of Annie’s speech to help beginners understand Annie and refer to sample responses to know what to say next.\n\n**Curriculum**: We offer a variety of modules (custom maps with scenarios) where children can practice speaking across different situations.\n\n**Safety**: Learning happens on a private server, where kids play safely with Annie, free from random strangers or unfiltered chats. Annie also speaks in a child-friendly tone.\n\n# **🙏 Our Ask**\n\nWe’d love intros to:\n\n* **Language experts or ESL teachers** who can help us design our language curriculum.\n* **Minecraft content creators** who love sharing fun gameplay.\n* **Minecraft builders or builder communities** interested in building custom maps.\n* **Animators or creative studios** that can help us make animations of Annie\n\n👉 Contact us at [contact@alephlab.ai](mailto:contact@alephlab.ai)\n\n# **👬 The Team**\n\nAll four of us are immigrants who know how hard it is to learn a new language. To help kids facing the same challenge, we tutored English for years. It was hard to keep kids engaged with flashcards and textbooks. But, when we joined them in Minecraft and spoke only in English, they naturally absorbed new words and phrases. \n\nThis was our “aha” moment that led us to build Annie. She’s better than us at English and Minecraft, and is always available. Kids even say they’d rather play with Annie than us, so we’re on a mission to bring Annie to children around the world.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95244&key=user_uploads/2969712/2bb874a4-1590-4145-9430-b37ecf25bf02)\n\n",

Parents can choose any lesson they want to teach their child, and Pixley weaves it naturally into the story their kids create. We're building the creative platform for the next generation – where kids are the directors, not just the audience.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the same technology powers Pixley Studios, our B2B content service for brands and content creators who want to produce high-quality AI video without the cost or time of traditional production.\r\n\r\nWe’re 19 year old CS dropouts who’ve known each other since elementary school and won 4 hackathons at 15. After seeing AI flood the internet with low-quality content, we created Pixley – a safe, personalized way for kids to turn their ideas into animated stories.",

We all know parents and teachers that could benefit from Pixley_\n\n👉 _Send any feedback over to [admin@pixleyai.com](mailto:admin@pixleyai.com)_\n\n### https://youtu.be/h9sc9PgjfC0\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\n**Endless Scrolling**\n\nKids aged 2-8 spend an average of **2 hours and 48 minutes every day** on screens. Nearly all of it is passive consumption of algorithm-driven videos, with little opportunity for creativity or active learning.\\\n\\\n**Guilt Without Good Options**\n\nParents prefer screen time that is both fun and educational. Right now, they have to choose between entertaining caartoons designed for engagement, or educational apps that feel like homework.\n\n**Behavioral Learning is Overlooked**\n\nStudies show Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs boost achievement by **11 percentile points**. Yet schools rarely emphasize it. That leaves kids missing critical skills – like handling frustration, working with others, and bouncing back from setbacks – lessons every parent wants taught early.\n\n### ✅ Our Solution\n\nAt Pixley, we are using the newest video generation technologies to allow families to make AI cartoon shows within minutes.\n\n⏳ **Instant Character Creation**\n\nChildren can draw directly on the screen or upload any picture – even a photo of themselves, their family, or friends. Pixley transforms it into a fully animated character in seconds, which can be saved into the character library and used in future episodes. For the first time, your child can actually **star in their own cartoons.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94447&key=user_uploads/2396632/6251e031-0c2d-49e0-83a4-2daeae7c20d2)\n\n📺 **Personalized Cartoon Episodes**\n\nParents simply describe what they want the episode to be about – from sharing with siblings, to learning fractions, or exploring space. Pixley generates an entire animated episode around that theme, starring the child’s characters, within minutes.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94447&key=user_uploads/2396632/706b3cee-18f4-45ea-b687-e68db2f73a79)\n\n**📞 Character Calling**\n\nKids can “call” their characters and hold conversations on any topic, like FaceTiming a cartoon friend that never runs out of things to say. Our characters will personalize to your child and teach them about their favorite topics!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94447&key=user_uploads/2396632/46e126b1-ce44-4119-a242-0260b7f84921)\n\n**🌎 The Storyverse**\n\nDon’t have time to make an episode?

        "body": "TLDR We’re eradicating mosquitoes (700k people killed each year) with micro-drones.\n\nHey YC!\n\n[Clovis Piedallu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/clovispiedallu/) and [Alex Toussaint](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-toussaint-51a439189/) are building [Tornyol](https://tornyol.com/), **a micro-drone that kills mosquitoes**. We use smartphone microphones, car park assist sensors and some clever DSP and control to transform 40-gram toy drones into mosquito killers. Because these drones are so cheap and fast, we could lower the cost of mosquito control by 100x to enable the eradication of malaria.\n\nOur upcoming product is a micro-drone + base station that patrols your garden 24/7 and eliminates any mosquito in the zone. After a few days of action, you’ll notice that you can enjoy mosquito-free evenings and dinners. Enjoy a mosquito-free life for just $50/month (if you save your spot **right now for just $100**)!\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDa9pFzeJvE\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95287&key=user_uploads/1250342/2697e87e-51cb-405e-bf8b-e4446880f4cc)\n\n# How it started\n\nAlex has been passionate about ultrasonic sonars for a while, building [one of the first air-gapped ultrasonic phased array sonars.](https://www.alextoussaint.com/2021-04-28_How-I-built-an-ultrasonic-3d-scanner.html) Alex then worked at MBDA Systems, supplier of UK-FR missiles where he did outstanding work in navigation and control. That’s when long-time friend [@Clovis Piedallu](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/2515354) and him had the (at first) stupid idea of building mosquito-killing drones. After proving from napkin math that this could lead to mosquito eradication, we got a $28k grant from [Scott Alexander, Vitalik Buterin](https://manifund.org/projects/build-anti-mosqu) and [some big twitter buzz.](https://x.com/alextoussss/status/1778460625196261863) Since, we’ve made enormous strides in the field including the first detection and tracking of a mosquito with an ultrasonic phased array, plus some fancy algorithms which are detailed more [here](https://hackaday.com/2025/03/25/supercon-2024-killing-mosquitoes-with-freaking-drones-and-sonar). We’ve made a lot of progress since in the control department, but can’t share much more without nuking an ongoing patent. The TLDR of that is **we believe we can eradicate mosquitoes from a square kilometer of land with just 10 40-grams drones, slashing the cost of mosquito control by 100x**\n\n# The tech, with a few more details\n\nWe send an ultrasonic pulse using a regular ultrasonic transmitter (the one you can find in the HC-SR04 arduino modules, or on cark park assist sensors) then listen for the echoes using an array of smartphone microphones. This phased array of smartphone microphone allows us to get a directional recording of all echoes in the scene. To classify the echoes, we plot a spectrogram of the echoes as a function of time. Whenever a mosquito beats its wings, the movement produces irregular doppler effect. By measuring that alternating doppler effect, we get a 2D image that’s unique to each mosquito. We then detect the species and sex of the target we have in front of us. Here’s what these signatures look like.\n\n**Wasp (phase, STFT, FFT)**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95287&key=user_uploads/1250342/e34717d5-91b3-435f-b7b3-33eacfa00d77)\n\n**Mosquito (phase, STFT, FFT)**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95287&key=user_uploads/1250342/21bf0588-a122-48c8-9a62-60426d8e7b94)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95287&key=user_uploads/1250342/8bb71855-e1f9-4ea0-922f-06da6690c1c5)\n\nOur phased array sonar (Xilinx XC7A100T and 380 PDM Microphones). We’ve miniaturized it since.\n\nThen, by using some very clever control algorithms, we ram our autonomous tinywhoop into the mosquitoes and away from the walls.\n\n# Our current development status\n\nMost systems are working in isolation, and we’re doing a push to have them all working together. Our miniaturized DSP+Controls processor is currently in the PCB factory, and all algorithms have been tested either on separate benches or in simulation. We’re currently killing mosquitoes in simulation, and are working hard to kill them in the real world.\n\n# Asks\n\nMosquitoes are a terrible problem worldwide **700k people killed each year, 700M catching a mosquito-borne disease and 4 billion people at risk of Dengue**.\n\nWe’re looking for early adopters for who mosquitoes are a big nuisance to proof-test our first drones when they work before we deploy them to areas where failure’s not an option.

Like:\n\n> Are HSTS or strict transport policies enforced during data transmission?\n\nMost say, _“Let me get back to you”,_ and the deal cools off. That’s why teams burn $60K+ a year on coaching, mock calls, and LMS exams. I’ve paid that bill too.\n\nBut onboarding drags. Products change fast. Tech-savvy AEs are rare.\n\nWhat if your reps could pull the right answers instantly– straight from your best calls, API docs, or Slack threads?\n\n## ✨ Solution: Let your reps cheat on sales calls\n\n[Aside](https://asidehq.com/?utm_source=launch_yc) listens to your sales calls and surfaces real-time answers pulled from your docs, HubSpot, or past calls. It's like pressing **𝚌𝚝𝚛𝚕+𝚟** on your company’s knowledge into every rep – so anyone can sound like your best rep.\n\n**_🎬 Watch our [launch video](https://youtu.be/ZZVn6w0o8jQ) 👇_**\n\n---\n\n---\n\n# How it works\n\n\\*\\*🔎 Get answers from your docs, Slack, and past winning calls.\\*\\*\\\nWhen a tough question hits, just click **“How can I answer?”** - the right answer lands in 800ms. No guessing, no “let me get back to you”.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95050&key=user_uploads/1576589/873df5e6-aeb0-4bc6-bc89-ff00031ecf4c)\n\n📝 **Live coaching that catches what you miss**\\\nWhen you miss a key pain point, Aside flags it live — before the deal goes cold. It nudges what to ask next and coaches you using your playbook — BANT, SPICED, whatever your team runs on.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95050&key=user_uploads/1576589/667d0f76-a05a-46ff-9d2f-4fa8a781f218)\n\n💬 **Preload your cheatsheets as Live Cards**\\\nTurn your best answers into in-call cards that pop up right when you need them. No more flipping tabs — your best answers, ready the moment the question hits.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95050&key=user_uploads/1576589/d9b7fd18-89bb-418d-a733-85713ab3f4a1)\n\n**🎓 Coaching feedback, remembered by AI**\\\nAfter the call, Aside reviews what happened, gives you feedback, and turns it into live suggestions for the next one - so you never repeat the same mistake.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95050&key=user_uploads/1576589/efb28b23-26ec-49b4-a50e-a66616439ca6)\n\n# Our story\n\nJun and Chanhee were the founding engineers of [Airbridge.io](http://Airbridge.io). Jun worked with 50+ reps as a solutions consultant - the person who answers technical questions on calls. So basically, we're replacing our past selves with AI!\n\n# Ask\n\n* Try it: [AsideHQ.com](https://asidehq.com)\n* Know any B2B tech startups that are actively hiring new reps?

When we talked to businesses about their marketing, we kept hearing the same problem over and over: they had incredible footage from events and productions, but it took weeks to turn into content. Smaller teams simply didn’t have the time to edit this footage either. We dove deeper into post-production workflows and realized the entire industry was drowning in grunt work.\n\nPreviously, we’ve worked on computer vision research at Brown and software engineering research at UW, as well as AI infrastructure at Apple and marketing for Vectara.\n\nProfessional video editors spend 90% of their time on work that has nothing to do with creativity.\n\nThey're scrubbing through hours of raw footage, hunting for specific moments, organizing clips, and fighting archaic software — while the actual artistry gets squeezed into whatever time remains.\n\nWe're **Erik, Aryan, and Victor;** we built **Narrative** to fix this.\n\n## **What Narrative does**\n\nNarrative automates the repetitive work:\n\n* Add b-roll to the timeline intelligently for an interview, based on the transcript\n* Search terabytes of footage using natural language and instantly find similar clips\n* Pull selects and create stringouts for social media and long form edits\n* Perform batch iterations through a conversational chat window\n\nProfessionals at corporate post-production teams, wedding videographers, and sports teams already use Narrative to cut hours from their workflow.\n\nWe will also be launching video editing and clipping APIs for businesses soon.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95083&key=user_uploads/2289348/cb7592c9-1f12-4e1b-96ce-60ab2be96364)\n\n## **How you can help**\n\n**Video editor or creator?** Try Narrative and tell us what you think: [narrative.video](https://www.narrative.video)\n\n**Need to edit videos/find specific moments via an API?** Reach out to us at [founders@usenarrative.ai](https://mailto:founders@usenarrative.ai)\n\n**Can you introduce us to:**\n\n* Post-production teams at studios, agencies, or media companies?\n* Sports teams or content creators producing high volumes of video?\n\nReach us at: [founders@usenarrative.ai](mailto:founders@usenarrative.ai) :)\n\nThank you!",

        "body": "Hi!\n\nWe’re [Zak](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zak-singh) and [Will](https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-h-48a38bbb/) — co-founders of [Miniswap](https://miniswap.gg/).\n\n**TL;DR:** Miniswap is a marketplace for the $20b tabletop games industry, starting with Warhammer. Since launching 4 weeks ago, 1,000 gamers have already signed up and listed over $40k of inventory.\n\n**Ask:** Do you know a lover of tabletop games or a game store owner that could benefit from what we’ve built? Contact us at [admin@miniswap.gg](mailto:admin@miniswap.gg)\\\n\\\n[Introducing Miniswap — The Marketplace for Tabletop Games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvLHV8x1lg8%5C)\n\n\\\n**The Problem: Buying Wargaming Minis is a Huge Pain**\n\nTabletop games like Warhammer have incredibly complex taxonomies – one kit can be built into ten different models all with different roles in the game. Without a uniform description, sellers create information-sparse listings that do not accurately describe what they are selling.\n\nDoomscrolling through generic marketplaces trying to find what you’re looking for has become a rite of passage in the wargaming hobby. Browsing existing marketplaces is like sifting through a junk drawer of mislabeled minis and knock-offs.\n\nThe result? Buyers can’t find what they want and sellers can’t move their inventory.\\\n\\\n**Miniswap’s Solution: One Catalogue to Rule Them All**\n\nWe’re making it easier for buyers and sellers of tabletop gaming products to connect\n\nUsing AI, we’ve built a comprehensive catalogue of every miniature released over the past 25 years -- more than 20,000 of them -- with data on every detail buyers and sellers care about. This gives our users:\n\n* **1) A better buying experience:** gamers can now search for the exact miniature they want, and drill down by the attributes that actually matter to them.\n* **2) A better selling experience:** As a seller, all you need to do is take a photo of your miniature(s) and Miniswap will automatically create an accurate and detail-rich listing for you.\n\nOur high-resolution catalogue also gives us the ability to displace generic online store and inventory management systems like Shopify.\\\n\\\n**The Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95395&key=user_uploads/2363018/d16aca68-46cb-4cf9-9612-09d47a4a77de)\n\nZak’s love of tabletop games spans two decades—he got his first Warhammer kit when he was 6 years old and has been active in the hobby ever since. Before founding Miniswap, Zak was the CTO of Hear Me, a mental health app serving over 100k users. He dropped out of his PhD in computer science at Cambridge to start Miniswap.\n\nBefore founding Miniswap, Will worked as a strategic advisor to the CEOs of some of the world’s largest companies, including Bridgewater Associates and Pfizer. He has advanced degrees in economics and philosophy from McGill and Cambridge. He dropped out of law school at McGill to move to found Miniswap.\n\nWill and Zak were roommates while studying at Cambridge where they immediately bonded over their shared love for tabletop games and early-modern history. They have been best friends ever since.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95395&key=user_uploads/2363018/5512bb1e-405a-4de0-acf7-437b2d56a631)\n\n",

        "tagline": "Create personalized mystery packs and flip collectibles in real time",
        "body": "Hi YC, I’m [Joseph Zhang](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/2323858) and I’m working with my cofounder [Sophia Kim](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/3126931) to build CatchBack Cards,  an iOS and web platform for maximizing the thrill of collecting Pokemon and Sports cards. We allow collectors to create custom mystery packs with personalized chases and customized odds with cryptographically trusted tooling. Users can rip open digital packs and get physical cards shipped to them, receive buyback offers on cards pulled from their mystery packs sent straight to Venmo and PayPal, and buy/sell cards in our $1 marketplace.\n\n[catchbackcards.com](http://catchbackcards.com)\n\ncatchback cards on the iOS app store\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97204&key=user_uploads/2323858/bc1ee024-41f9-4255-83d2-4920a5a622ef)\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLVCQQhvcE>\n\n**What we’re building**\n\nThe trading card market is massive, fast-growing, and _very_ large in transaction volume. Globally, physical trading cards (sports, Pokémon, anime like One Piece, etc.) represent a $20B+ annual market, growing at double-digit rates (\\~10–15% YoY) even after the pandemic boom. Beyond retail sales, billions of dollars move through the secondary market each year via graded cards, private deals, and resale platforms. What’s striking is how _offline_ this economy still is: at local and regional card shows, millions of dollars change hands over a single weekend, through cash deals, trades, box breaks, and private six-figure transactions—most of it fragmented, informal, and poorly tracked. This is a real, high-velocity market hiding in plain sight.\\\n\\\nMystery packs are popular in Pokémon and sports cards, but today they’re mostly run manually or through platforms with high fees and limited transparency. CatchBack lets anyone create their own mystery packs with their desired pool of cards, risk levels, and personalized odds, and gives collectors the option to buy packs, to list cards in the marketplace, and to get an instant buyout offer on whatever they hit in the pack. We provide cryptographic randomness proofs and open source our card selection code so that users can independently verify and trust our mystery packs. Users trust our packs more because they can pick exactly what goes into their pool and can see mathematical proof, which physical mystery packs cannot recreate. \n\nWe’re also building a platform that digitizes cards and allows users to transact ownership rights to cards for just $1. Previously, eBay buyers dealt with fraud issues, ridiculous hidden fees, and shipping headaches, and we’re creating a system that allows for maximal liquidity and convenience in speculating on card investments.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97204&key=user_uploads/2323858/478ed561-02d9-403a-83d8-2496f9b6a458)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97204&key=user_uploads/2323858/f43cc95b-6446-4770-838b-e588f40ebfbc)\n\n**Who it’s for**\n\nOur users are card collectors who open mystery bags and creators (Pokémon, sports cards, slabs) who already sell to communities on Instagram, Discord, and live marketplaces. \n\n**Why we started this**\n\nWe spent a lot of time buying, selling, and comping cards across eBay, Whatnot, and Instagram DMs, and kept seeing the same problems: high fees, fragmented liquidity, and a lack of trust in mystery packs. Other blind box sites stuff their bags with undesirable floor hits and gouge their users on shipping fees, listing fees, and marketplace fees. We’ve built a platform that maximizes dollar value for collectors–maximal cashback with CatchBack. \n\n**Current state**\n\nWe launched our iOS app on Jan 25, 2026. We’re at 700 users and $13K MRR and are growing aggressively week over week. We’re launching a joint collaboration with Steph Curry’s trading card company and looking to connect with other mentors and companies in the trading card space!\n\n**How to Participate**\n\nWe’re offering a free $25 credit on a $100 deposit. Users can create a mystery pack of 5 cards that have a market value of $50, and can be guaranteed one of these $50 cards for a $25 deposit! We offer free shipping on cards. DM us on our instagram @catchback_cards after creating an account on our platform, and we’ll set you up with the credit!",

        "body": "# Drafted: Design a Home Instantly Using AI\n\nResidential architecture is still one of the most expensive, slow, and inaccessible creative processes in the world.\n\nDesigning a custom home typically costs $10,000–$50,000+, takes months, and requires making major decisions before most people can even visualize the outcome. As a result, the vast majority of homes are built without direct architectural involvement.\n\nWe're building Drafted.ai to change that.\n\nDrafted is developing multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. Our goal is to teach computers how the built environment works so anyone can imagine, explore, and eventually create physical spaces tailored to them.\n\nToday, users can design homes using simple inputs such as:\n\n* Room lists\n* Square footage targets\n* Footprint shapes\n* Lot boundaries\n* Room placement preferences\n* Spatial relationships and constraints\n\nOur models generate complete floor plans and matching exterior elevations in seconds. Users can explore designs in both 2D and 3D, iterate instantly, furnish interiors, experiment with materials, and export CAD, PDF, and other files for the rest of the pre-construction process.\n\nOne of our newest capabilities allows users to draw any footprint shape and generate a complete home layout inside it.\n\n\\\n<https://youtu.be/wZJhBm7-OHI>\n\nOver the past month, more than 120,000 people have used Drafted, generating over 325,000 home designs through viral social sharing  and word-of-mouth alone.\n\nWe're a team of 9 consisting of second-time proptech founders, researchers from Stanford, Autodesk, Brown, and Adobe, alongside architects from WeWork, Atmos, and multi-generational architecture families.\n\nSince starting 10 months ago, we've raised $17.5M from YC, Buckley Ventures, Patrick Collison, Bill Clerico, Ben Silbermann, Jack Altman, Samsung NEXT, Starship Ventures, Charlie Songhurst, Evan Moore, Kevin Mahaffey, and others.\n\n# Our Ask:\n\nWe're currently looking for Machine Learning, Infrastructure, Growth, and Full-Stack Engineers.\n\nIf you're building a home, developing property, working in architecture, construction, or AI, we'd love to hear your feedback.\n\n[nick@drafted.ai](mailto:nick@drafted.ai)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102178&key=user_uploads/308465/147cdcf5-d9c3-45df-8814-f7a72d6596ab)\n\n",

        "body": "Hey! This is **Eli** and **Ryan**, cofounders at **Pax Historia** ([paxhistoria.co](http://paxhistoria.co)). \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97520&key=user_uploads/1382898/f7de4ff4-c0d2-4a10-9785-d2ca30e30949)\n\nPax Historia is a map-based gaming platform which combines the creative freedom of sandbox games with the depth of grand strategy. Players imagine scenarios (like ‘What if the USSR hadn’t broken apart?’ or ‘What if a zombie outbreak started in 2019?’ or ‘What if the USA took over Greenland?’) and create maps and presets which are then published to the community and become playable by anyone.\n\nAlready, we have **35k daily users**. Over the last week, in total, we’ve processed **100+ billion tokens**. Our **passionate community has published over 4k presets** with 50+ plays each.  \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97520&key=user_uploads/1382898/099acb66-577a-4be7-973c-109c16087c69)\n\nCreators create, edit, and publish custom maps and worlds. Users then play as a country or group in the world. They can make actions, start diplomatic chats, and jump forward in time. As the game progresses, the map shows any changes from player actions. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97520&key=user_uploads/1382898/062a68cf-5178-40bf-888d-e31b681431c2)\n\nBy using AI to power the responses of other countries/actors to in-game actions, **we are able to move beyond constraining, pre-designed narrative paths**. Players are truly able to do whatever they can imagine. \n\nCheck out our [Pax Historia Launch Video](https://youtu.be/-RXSxMVLcL4) for a closer look.\n\n**Our asks**: \n\n1. **Feedback:** We would _love_ to hear your feedback (especially if you’re a grand strategy, history, or gaming nerd!). You can make an account [here](http://paxhistoria.co).\n2. **Talent:** We are hiring! If you know of any talented engineers (Unity, web dev, AI/ML) who might be interested in a super high-impact, fast moving, small team, then please connect us. They can apply through our [Ashby](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/pax-historia), but please also shoot us an email ([careers@paxhistoria.co](mailto:careers@paxhistoria.co)) so we can find their profile.\n3. **Connection & Community:** Finally, if you’re running platforms/marketplaces, who are using AI to power features within their service (not just to write code!), or just excited by building and maintaining online communities, then we would love to chat.",

And every single note-taking tool on the planet only worked over Zoom.\n\nFor in-person conversations, the best technology available was a pen.\n\n**So we built Pocket.**\n\nPocket is a small device. **Three mics. One button.**\n\nYou press it. You have your conversation. **A summary is waiting for you in the Pocket app.**\n\nThe full transcript too. Pocket tacks who said what. You get automatically-generated summaries. And those things you promised? **We capture all your todos for you.**\n\nWith Pocket, **you don't type. You don't take notes. You can just talk and be present.**\\\n\\\n**It also does something no app can:**\n\nSnap Pocket to the back of your phone. **Its contact mic can capture and summarize both sides of a phone call. No speakerphone required.**\n\nYour doctor calls with test results? Someone rattles off an interesting quote? Your lawyer explains something complicated and fast? **It's all in Pocket. Word for word.**\n\n---\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98365&key=user_uploads/1169515/acbda200-7586-4988-9cbd-0e54a95b9873)\n\n## **About Us:**\n\nAkshay previously built, Omi, one of the world's largest, open-source AI note-taking devices. He is obsessed with this problem and turned down the Google VR team three times to build Pocket.\n\nGabriel is the former CEO of DoxyChain.\\\n\\\n**How you can help:**\n\n🙏 **Try it!** Order yours today at [**heypocket.com/now**](https://heypocket.com/now).

He went deep into language learning communities and even had the most liked post in a 2 year period on r/LearnJapanese, the biggest language learning subreddit. He found that there's no app that is both fun and educational. Apps like Duolingo are fun, but there is mass frustration with them being ineffective for actual learning. The best method to language learning is immersion, or listening to native content, but that gets really boring if you don't understand any of it. \\\r\n\\\r\nInitially, he spent a year building a language learning app that let you immerse by talking to your favorite characters in other languages, like SpongeBob, Spider-Man, etc., but found that people didn’t inherently enjoy talking to AI on a day to day basis.\\\r\n\\\r\nSo how to make immersion fun? Combine it with what Gen-Z DOES want to do on a daily basis: doomscrolling. And that’s how doomersion was born!"

I met Miranda at a squat rack in Fitness SF - a little over a year later we got engaged. I met Paul in university where we designed, built, and raced electric vehicles. Paul and I worked at Tesla for the next 4-5 yrs doing much of the same. I introduced Miranda to Paul in late 2024, knowing that he wanted to work on something new, and Fort was born. I worked on the nights/weekends with Miranda and Paul prototyping designs until Fort occupied most of my mind share, joining full time in December ‘25.\n\nWe have a tight knit team that has experience shipping hardware at scale and a strong belief that (1) improving human health is the greatest technological frontier in the age of AI and (2) consumer devices will have a meaningful impact in people’s wellness.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98029&key=user_uploads/3343572/a1b5506e-26b6-4b5b-bd45-a33ad15c50c8)\n\n**New Form Factor**: The product we first introduced on BF (our beta prototype) has evolved to a sleeker, smarter, more mature design featuring three finishes: _Gold_, _Black_, and _Silver_ using premium materials in a form factor that disappears into your life.\n\nWhether you are wearing it in the gym or out to dinner, we want it to be something that you actually want to wear and blend seamlessly with other jewelry but be lightweight enough to wear in the gym.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98029&key=user_uploads/3343572/197389c4-4d80-448e-9c16-8999c0029a64)\n\n**New Website:** We’ve revamped our website explaining the use case of Fort, the value proposition centered around strength tracking capabilities “**This Wearable Actually Tracks Strength**”. In addition to detailed strength data, the Fort App also features insights into cardio, stress, and sleep, showing how they are all interconnected: “Learn how your lifestyle affects your strength, and what metrics move the needle on your strength progress”.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98029&key=user_uploads/3343572/7c19300b-5953-4a8b-8a17-db1663fb8553)\n\nFor a limited time, pre-order sales are discounted to $289 to the general public (starting $349) which includes the production device + 1 year of software.

Whoop’s own data shows that strength workouts on their platform [**increased 122% YoY**](https://www.whoop.com/us/en/thelocker/whoop-year-in-review-2025/?srsltid=AfmBOoqLaNJlnaNn6uXWcFH8qfuk0ZRdry97kTI07R10adtOEx1jAR5H) between 2024 and 2025.

There are some attempts at automatic rep and exercise detection from Garmin and third-party Apple Watch apps, but the experience of using these products is unrefined compared to cardio or sleep features.\n\nEven after logging everything manually, wearables underestimate or ignore muscle fatigue, and lack actionable insights on how users should adapt their training to achieve their goals.\n\n**What we're building**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=97385&key=user_uploads/1251673/343e5478-aeaf-426d-98a0-b04ac5978c5d)\n\n\nFort is a wearable that measures motion and heart rate to detect exercises, reps, sets, form, and fatigue that occurs while strength training. The device is a screenless band that can be worn on the wrist, attached magnetically to workout equipment, or worn with body straps elsewhere, so we can capture movements that wrist-only wearables miss.\n\nWe also track steps, sleep, heart rate, and cardio exercise, to provide you with a comprehensive picture of your health.\n\nYou can wear Fort all day, and the battery lasts a week with normal use.\n\n**Who it’s for**\n\nAnyone who cares about their health and regularly does some form of strength training, like gym or pilates!\n\n**About us**\n\n[Paul](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcschneider/), [Zac](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zacvalles/), and [Miranda](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirandanover/) are ex-Tesla engineers who worked on Cybertruck, Semi, and Cybercab.

        "body": "Hey everyone, Pulkit and Agnay here!\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdlmaCSxiIk>\n\n**TLDR:**\n\nTsenta **matches** you with jobs, **rewrites** your **resume**, and **applies** for you. We built this because we applied to over 3,000 jobs as international students, and no other tool worked for us. 45,000+ people use it now, and over 70% of our paid users have landed interviews.\n\nSign up at: <https://tsenta.com/r/ycombinator> | 25 free applications on us, no card required :) + a 25% launch discount on any plan!\n\n**Why We Built Tsenta:**\n\nBecause job hunting sucks, and existing platforms suck harder. They either don't submit applications end-to-end reliably, don't give you visibility into what's being filled, or cost more per month than most students can afford. Which is why we built Tsenta to be the best platform on the market for job seekers, both feature and price wise.\n\n**What Tsenta does:**\n\n1. Matches you with over two million jobs in our database, updated every couple of hours.\n2. Rewrites your resume and cover letter in ATS friendly formats.\n3. Actually submits job forms on your behalf, handling account creation, email verification, &amp; filling in OTPs on over 30 ATSs.\n4. Tracks all of your applications for you, so you never have to rely on a spreadsheet again.\n\nTsenta also runs on iOS, Android, iMessage, WhatsApp &amp; as a chrome extension in addition to the web, so you can apply on the go, chat with Tsenta to manage and submit jobs, and use the Chrome extension to bring your own jobs as you browse other websites.\n\nSome of the places people have gotten interviews through Tsenta: Cisco, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Intel, NVIDIA, Scale AI, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, SpaceX and Teamworks.\n\n**Who we are:**\n\nWe first met at a friend’s dinner back in 2024 and have been close friends for over 2 years now.\n\n**Pulkit:** Coding since the age of 13,Built a language app with 1M+ downloads at 17, shipped Bhasha Sangam for the Govt. of India (500k+ users), dealflow tooling at Dexter Capital. CS @ Rose-Hulman '28\n\n**Agnay:** Coding since the age of 11, Open-sourced Android device trees used by 2,000+ ROM builders, systems engineering at VIAVI, CS + AI @ Rose-Hulman '26.\n\n**Our asks**\n\n1. If you are job hunting, or know someone that is, send them to [tsenta.com/r/ycombinator](https://tsenta.com/r/ycombinator). 25% off any plan, first 25 applications free.\n2. We want this to be the best career agent out there and are super product-focused. Tell us what's broken or shoot us ideas at: [founders@tsenta.com](mailto:founders@tsenta.com).\n3. Hiring? We're building the employer side next and would love to hear where your process today breaks. Same email as above :)",

        "body": "**The Problem**\n\nEveryone has content worth sharing. Insights from conversations, thoughts in voice memos, photos on their camera roll. But turning raw material into polished content is a grind. Recording, editing, writing, designing. It turns into a second job. So most people never create, and the internet stays dominated by a small group of professional creators.\n\n**The Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99005&key=user_uploads/1294638/ef896e45-a7ea-44b1-a965-b56973d9fe18)\n\nRemix takes anything you already have. Audio notes, text notes, photos, your social profile, even messages. It automatically generates images, articles, tweets, videos, and more.\n\nNo prompting. No editing. You just feed it your raw data and Remix spins up parallel AI agents that figure out what is worth creating and produce it for you.\n\nYou can launch tens of agents at once, each working on a different piece of content. Chat with them, ask for tweaks, request variations. It feels like having a full creative team that works in seconds.\n\n**Why This Matters**\n\nThe content in your feed is already social. People sharing their routines, their days, their photo dumps. It's just all from strangers. When everyone can create this effortlessly, social media will finally be truely social.\n\nWe are the first company bringing Claude Code to consumers. Unleashing the most powerful agentic harness’s power for more than code.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\n[Try Remix](https://remix.re/) and tell us what you think. Drop in your LinkedIn or Twitter username and we’ll instantly create content just for you.\n\nWe would love your feedback. Email us at [founders@remix.re](mailto:founders@remix.re).",

        "body": "**TL;DR:** Tired of merge conflicts or agents rewriting each other’s code? Shepherd is an open-source tool that allows all of your agents, across sessions and team members, to communicate and collaborate while they work.\n\nThis was a problem that our team encountered while developing our previous product, so we built an internal tool to solve it.\n\nWe've been using Shepherd internally for a while now. It was initially more of an experiment to see how well agents could collaborate, but as we've iterated on it, it's become genuinely useful. Not only does it save us the time and effort of fixing rewrites/conflicts, but we've actually been seeing cleaner and more robust code from our agents, simply because they're able to see what their fellow agents are working on and communicate to write code that works together.\n\nShepherd is a simple MCP that you install once and your agents use forever with zero human input. We provide a dashboard where you can see what you and all of your team members' agents have being doing, in addition to a chat where you and your agents can send announcements, either directly or to everyone.\n\nYou can sign up at <https://korsoai.com/shepherd> and it'll guide you through the process. The repo is also open-source at <https://github.com/Korso-AI/Shepherd>, and you can read more about Shepherd at korsoai.com/docs. Try it on our platform or even host it yourself.\n\n**Free** for all YC companies - we're currently in open beta, so we'd love for you to give it a try and share any feedback you have!\\\n\\\nShepherd in action:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=105011&key=user_uploads/2729430/a8674cb3-9106-455c-ba95-43da06d29ba0)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=105011&key=user_uploads/2729430/bb1ac2f5-2bf1-4448-8aab-f0eac1e5f182)\n\n",

        "body": "**TL;DR:** \n\nLight Anchor (YC P26) builds fully autonomous e-commerce brands that run at the speed of compute. Consumer brands have always been limited by the speed of humans: hiring, coordinating, and sleeping. AI agents that now run operations end-to-end break all those constraints, making a new kind of consumer business possible: one capped by compute, not headcount.\n\nToday, Light Anchor operates one flagship brand and multiple experiment stores, all run by AI agents on a shared platform that compounds with every new brand launched. The vision is thousands of consumer businesses, operating with little to no human intervention.\n\n<https://youtu.be/_uN-A-4uugA>\n\n### **Why we're doing this**\n\nE-commerce brands have always been bottlenecked by how fast humans can run them. With agents that operate end-to-end, that bottleneck disappears, and a different kind of consumer business becomes possible: one where the cost and speed of operating it isn't capped by headcount.\n\nTo test whether agents could do the actual work humans do at an e-commerce brand, we deployed our first agent on Upwork, where small businesses post tasks for freelancers. We started small, with discrete tasks: catalog cleanup, SKU uploads, and data migrations. Within days, our agent had completed 50+ Shopify jobs end-to-end at a 4.9/5 rating, and the same clients started asking for more. \"Clean up our catalog\" turned into \"run our marketing,\" then \"handle our sourcing,\" then \"run the whole storefront.\" Within 3 weeks, we were running multiple stores end-to-end for owners who used to do this work themselves.\n\nToday we own and operate multiple stores of our own.\n\n### **The agents, platform, and data**\n\nHere are the agents that run our stores:\n\n* **CEO agent**: sets weekly priorities, manages a $10K budget per brand, escalates decisions for human review\n* **GM agent**: P&L, merchandising, inventory, sourcing, customer support\n* **Marketing agent** ([cherylkim.me](http://cherylkim.me)): creatives and influencer marketing\n* **Engineering agent**: unblocks technical work, ships tools\n\nEvery brand runs on the same architecture, with a shared layer (agent tooling, integrations, analytics) and a brand-specific layer (memory, policies, and decisions). Both compound: every brand we launch makes the platform smarter, and the marginal cost of launching the next brand keeps falling. Our bet isn't just to operate more stores; it's to understand customers better than any human team can and capture demand the moment it shifts.\n\nEach brand generates a stream of operating decisions (creatives tested, ads spent, suppliers negotiated, tickets closed) that gets written to a central record the agents can read back from.\n\nHumans don’t operate this way because the cost of writing everything down and coordinating across teams is higher than the value. When the operators are agents, that cost goes to zero. Once the record accumulates, a few things become possible: better targeting, faster store setup, and market/consumer simulations.\n\n### **Asks**\n\nIf you're any of the following, or you know someone who is, we'd love to hear from you:\n\n* **Buy our products:** Use the YC code YC26 for 25% discount at[ ](http://slowhaste.com)<https://seouldispatch.com/>.

Sendbird built the messaging APIs behind DoorDash, Reddit, and Hinge.\n\nWe took this right after we decided to start a company back in December. Day 1.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100906&key=user_uploads/396406/1bda8bdf-bcd5-4045-afbf-9c9a1fcb7757)\n\n",

We think the more exciting opportunity is AI creating and coordinating work in the physical economy.\n\nRentahuman lets AI agents communicate with and pay humans to do real-world tasks.\n\nOur mission is to use AI to create new jobs and coordinate workers at global scale.\n\nAI agents can code, write emails, use software, spend money, and complete increasingly complex digital tasks. But they still cannot record household chores for robotics training, capture in-store photos, find people for a video shoot, organize a local event, pick up supplies, or do the physical work required to operate in the real world. These are all use cases we have tackled at Rentahuman.\n\nMost AI systems are trained and deployed inside the digital world. But the next generation of AI and robotics systems will need more than software tools. They will need structured data, local execution, and human participation from the physical world.\n\nRentahuman gives them a way to get it.\n\nWe are now using Rentahuman for live deployments, from data collection tasks for AI and robotics companies to operational experiments like an AI-managed laundromat. These deployments help us learn how agents hire workers, spend money, collect data, coordinate people, manage physical workflows, and recover from operational failures.\n\nThis is the beginning of a larger shift: AI agents moving from browsers and software tools into the real economy.\n\nWe believe AI will create demand for more human work, not less. The future will have more intelligence, more jobs, and more opportunities for people outside of the digital world.\n\nRentahuman is the marketplace where that future begins.",

Tailoring a plan to every chronic condition, allergy, goal, and stage of life was impossible. With frontier models, we’re able to reimagine nutrition experiences from the ground up.\n2. **We understand how to make taking a picture of your food fun.** How come Instagram foodies, who religiously follow “the camera eats first”, don’t also log their food in a journal? Napkin Math perfectly marries the joy of socially sharing food with a rich database that can help foodies feel better every day.\n\n### THE TEAM\n\nWe’ve been friends for a decade since living together at MIT. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒\n\n**Jynnie** worked on a games platform with 1MM players (Multiverse YC W20) and one of the largest Discord Games (Magic Circle, a16z Speedrun) — applying real gamification experience with AI to consumer health.\n\n**Manuel** has cracked product across consumer, healthcare, and hardware, recently leading Verkada’s largest product line — bringing AI to real problems.\n\n**Claire’s** work at Samsara through its IPO has given her insight into how tracking leads to safety outcomes for drivers, and now health outcomes for Napkin Math users.\n\nHappy Tummy, Happy Life 😉 [Try Napkin Math](https://napkinmath.club)",

        "body": "**_TLDR:_** Result is a platform for entrepreneurs to start and operate businesses end-to-end. We take users from an idea to building the product, accepting payments, incorporation, and marketing. Our 8 private beta users collectively do $2.8M ARR.\n\nHi YC, [Aaryan Kushwah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaryan-kushwah) and [Savio Martin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saviomartin/) made their first money on the internet starting businesses + side projects, and today **more people _than ever_** are starting businesses.\n\nWe will be where solopreneurs, indiehackers, creative founders, and content creators make _their first internet dollar. **Result is the operating system to start the next generation of businesses.**_\n\n**Let's make our first internet dollar in this post**.\n\n1\\. **Build** - you start using Result _with or without_ a product, let's assume we don’t have one right now\n\nIn this example, we’re building [1600.lol](http://1600.lol) → an SAT learning tool with real past paper questions.\n\nResult can build apps **with payment gateways**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/fd663606-9301-47ba-8ae8-143ab3786036)\n\nWe have our **_own_** payment gateway provider with **custom endpoints** to give each user their own payment gateway, keep record of payments, and we’re also working with them to provide **_tax filing capabilities_**.\n\nIf you already have a product built you can connect your existing Github repo and Result will have context, or if you’re a business that doesn’t need a product (service, consulting, etc.) you don’t need to connect anything!\n\n2\\. Simultaneously, it’s going to lock in a **brand** for the business.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/8dc92a8c-cd3a-4d8b-9b96-4cbd1d4005fc)\n\n3\\. **Sell -** Let’s start selling. First, Result helps you rank better on SEO and then creates content for you to post: reels, blogs, posts and whatever works specifically for your niche.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/0599fbb0-525e-4cb4-9932-023f728806ad)\n\nThis is a fan favorite feature, **_Tinder for marketing posts_**:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/bfd69287-1887-4b9e-9f99-4cdd51faf28a)\n\n4\\. **Incorporate** - At this point, once we’re confident the product is doing well → let’s make this a real business. **_You can incorporate on the platform_**. We have a relationship with a registered agent for a whitelabelled service. We’re working extremely hard on this and will be able to incorporate companies **_directly from chat, through an agent, or even through Claude Code._**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/ca4b1fa5-4a5f-4cec-8ebb-03b139bbdf6f)\n\n5\\. **Analyze** - our biggest advantage of owning the entire flow is **_attribution, cross-data analytics_** and actually driving **_meaningful revenue-boosting insights_**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/02885b15-1a2f-4490-a6cf-f3d3c06cd262)\n\nWe’re working on some really cool architecture for attribution, our goal is to be able to generate insights like:\n\n1. This specific format of a social media post drew 10x more views but it targeted the wrong ICP so it converted only 10%, whereas this post that didn’t draw as many views converted better because it was a better target.\n2. The comments on this post resonate with customer support emails requesting this feature and it should be built instead of what the codebase has in place of it.\\\n   \\\n   **_Context_** - Where does all this information go? Company Brain!\n\nStarting a company on a single platform from scratch gives us a unique place to retain context of the entire business from Day 1. A lot of companies are trying to build company brains for existing businesses, we decided that starting on Day 1 for a new business is the new meta.\n\nAs you operate the business on the platform, the platform learns about your business and continues to become better.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=102824&key=user_uploads/1610709/d2adb3d2-53aa-4215-8779-25bfcd5db9f1)\n\nThis is how [1600.lol](http://1600.lol) is operated on Result. [1600.lol](http://1600.lol) now does $1200 MRR and is operated from Result. **_You can see how it performs at [lab.result.dev](http://lab.result.dev)_**.\n\nWe’re in private beta and **our first 8 users collectively do $2.8M ARR.**\n\n**_Asks:_**\n\n* If you've built side projects, small businesses before, we'd love to get in touch and show you around!\n* If you know thought leaders or friends in the space (solopreneurship, indiehacking, etc.) we'd love to talk to them to learn more about what they need.\n* If you have experience live-streaming, know teams behind subathons, long-duration live streaming etc, we'd love to learn more for a challenge we're starting in July!",

        "title": "Datost - The most accurate AI data analyst",
        "tagline": "A proactive AI data analyst with a built in semantic layer that actually understands your business",
        "body": "Hey everyone — This is Maceo and Jason, founders of Datost.\n\n**TL;DR:** Datost is an AI data analyst your team @mentions in Slack. It keeps a semantic layer of your business definitions so it understands what questions mean before writing SQL. On the hardest public text-to-SQL benchmark, it scores 75.2%. The best frontier model alone gets 33%.\n\n**Why I built this**\n\nWe saw the problem while I was at Traba, a staffing marketplace. Traba had a lot of data and not enough analysts. Someone would need a number to make a decision, and the path to that number ran through SQL they couldn’t write or an analyst who was busy. The question would sit for hours. By the time the answer showed up, the decision had already been made on a guess.\n\nThere are AI analytics tools out there now. They all have the same problem: they don’t understand your business. When your PM asks “which accounts are at risk of churning,” there’s no column called that. “At risk” has a formula that lives in someone’s head, or a doc, or nowhere. These tools guess an interpretation and commit. Then someone in a Slack thread acts on the answer before anyone checks whether it was right.\n\n**The semantic layer**\n\nDatost maintains a layer of your team’s definitions, what “churn risk” means at your company, how you calculate NRR, which tables are trustworthy, what that internal acronym stands for.\n\nWhen it hits a term it hasn’t seen, it looks it up the same way a new analyst would ask a coworker. When the semantic layer doesn’t have it either, it asks the user before writing any SQL.\n\nIt learns from mistakes too. When it gets something wrong, it leaves notes on the schema so it doesn’t make the same mistake twice. Teams that have been using it for a few months barely correct it anymore.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99800&key=user_uploads/3433862/f456e145-3c20-47ed-b570-06e70b3c6cda)\n\n**What it actually does**\n\nYour team @mentions Datost in any Slack channel. It searches the semantic layer, explores your schema in a sandbox, writes and tests SQL, then posts the answer in-thread with the work shown. A second model reviews every answer read-only. If the definition says one thing and the SQL does another, the reviewer catches it.\n\nIt also runs on its own. You can set it up to post a pipeline coverage update to #sales every Monday, or flag when a metric moves outside a range you care about. Or if youre old fashioned it can make a beautiful dashboard for you :)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99800&key=user_uploads/3433862/f5c22b08-a608-47cd-a986-785487b6935e)\n\nIt connects to Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks. Also Datadog, Sentry, PostHog, Coda, Notion, GitHub, and anything else via MCP. It reads your Slack history to see how things were answered before. It reads your codebase to understand how a metric is actually calculated. Charts, dashboards, PDFs, exports, whatever format you need. Most answers come back in under a minute.\n\n**The benchmark**\n\nWe ran Datost against BIRD-Interact, the hardest public text-to-SQL benchmark. 600 deliberately ambiguous questions across 22 messy and realistic PostgreSQL databases, published at ICLR 2026. Every question uses terms that aren’t in the schema.\n\nClaude Opus 4.6, the model Datost runs on, gets 33% on its own. Datost scored 75.2%. Same model. The gap is the semantic layer. On analytical questions, 91%.\n\nFull breakdown here: <https://datost.com/blog/bird-interact>\n\n**Ask**\n\nIf your team has a Slack, Teams, or Google Chat workspace and data people keep asking about, we can get you running in a day.\n\n* [**Book a call**](https://datost.cal.com/founders/30-min)\n* Email me or Jason: [maceo@datost.com](mailto:maceo@datost.com) or [jason@datost.com](mailto:jason@datost.com)  \n* Or reply here\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIxir5wtX44>",

Understanding how we feel and why has never been harder or more valuable.\n\nWe've become obsessed with tracking everything: sleep, recovery, performance. All proxies for how we feel.\n\nPerformance is 90% mental. And yet, no one has built the feedback loop for our emotions.\n\n**What we’re building**\n\nAnoria is a bracelet that reads your emotional state in real time. We call this your Flow Score, built from your Energy, Mood, and Focus.\n\nIt's powered by SOMI, our state-of-mind inference model, which uses a deep neuroscience framework to correlate 150 audio and biometric signals to surface what you're feeling, why, and what to do about it _(listen to a track by Eminem, call your friend Alex…)_.\n\nWith a tight enough feedback loop, emotional intelligence becomes trainable, and your flow state repeatable.\n\n**Who is it for?**\n\nWe’re building this for founders and creatives. People who understand that their state of mind is their most important asset.\n\n**Development Status**\n\nTwo months in, a handful of users are wearing our first prototypes in the wild. They see their Flow Score in real time, and watch it shift with the people they talk to, the apps they use, the meetings they have, and the music they listen to.\n\n**About us**\n\nI spent five years designing iPhones at Apple, most recently leading the iPhone 17 Pro enclosure. I learned what it means to be obsessive about every detail and still ship 100 million devices a year.\n\nFor a decade, I've been obsessed with one question: can human emotion be scientifically understood and quantified?\n\nI built Anoria as a solo founder. Today, an incredible five-person team of ex-Apple and ex-Meta engineers and repeat founders is building it with me. We're going all in on technology that makes self-awareness tangible, and helps us reconnect.",

        "body": "**TL;DR**\n\nYouArt empowers storytellers to create AI films and series with video agent, get funded by their fans, and earn subscription revenue.\n\n<https://youtu.be/IMwY7X6429I>\n\n**Traction**\n\nSince launching earlier this year, YouArt has grown from $0 to over $120K in monthly revenue in 5 months, driven by strong organic demand from AI creators, studios, and storytellers.\n\n**The Problem**\n\nFor decades, high-quality visual storytelling was a privilege reserved for Hollywood. To create an original film or TV series, creators needed months of pitching, millions of dollars in funding, a massive production team, and approval from traditional gatekeepers.\n\nAI has completely shattered this barrier. Today, anyone with a great idea can generate cinematic worlds right from their laptop. But this democratization has exposed a massive new gap: AI storytellers have the tools to make a film, but no system to fund it or make a living.\n\nSpecifically, AI creators face two glaring problems today:\n\n1. The Missing Funding Gap: While AI makes production exponentially cheaper, it is not free. Rendering a high-quality, full-length AI TV series or indie film still costs around $50,000 (generation tokens), voice acting, and post-production. Independent creators simply don't have the upfront capital to fund this.\n2. Zero IP Monetization: Even if they manage to produce the content, there is no dedicated monetization ecosystem. Creators are forced to rely on YouTube or TikTok ad algorithms, which reward short-form viral clips rather than premium, long-form storytelling. They have no way to build a brand, sell private content, or capture the true value of their IP.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nYouArt bridges this gap. We are replacing the traditional Hollywood pipeline with YouArt.\n\nHere is how we do it:\n\n* Production : We provide an industry-leading AI video agent natively integrated into our platform. Creators can quickly bring their ideas to life, seamlessly turning scripts into stunning visual concepts and trailers without leaving the workspace.\n\n  ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101354&key=user_uploads/1404079/95eb3c2d-8846-4e01-8221-00e3673c7507)\n\n* Crowdfunding: Creators don't need to pitch to studio executives anymore. They can launch their AI-generated trailers directly on YouArt to crowdfund support from early believers. Fans provide the crucial capital (that missing $50K) needed to render the full series.\n* Distribution &amp; Fan Economy: We give creators their own private domain to build a brand. Instead of fighting algorithms for ad pennies, creators can offer monthly subscriptions, sell exclusive/private content, and directly monetize their IP. We provide the infrastructure for a true fan economy, where creators own their audience and build sustainable, recurring revenue.\n\n  ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101354&key=user_uploads/1404079/4ea327d2-f66d-4ae1-88ea-226b7170862b)\n\n\n**Our Ask**\n\n* Know a creator? If you know any indie creators, animators, or storytellers who have the ambition to build their own franchise but lack funding or platform, please introduce them to us at [harry@youart.ai](mailto:harry@youart.ai).\n* Try it yourself: We invite you to explore the platform and see what the next generation of storytelling looks like.

We’re building the investment platform for trading cards.**\n\n**TL;DR:** tash gives investors access to professionally curated portfolios of high-end graded trading cards. tash manages sourcing, verification, vaulting, reporting, and the eventual sale of the underlying assets.\n\n[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bszOZp6uTWIgG29grz1oxflgInfEvpD6](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bszOZp6uTWIgG29grz1oxflgInfEvpD6/view)\n\n## The problem\n\nTrading cards have evolved into a global asset class supported by professional grading, extensive sales data, insured vaulting, and multimillion-dollar transactions.\n\nBut investing has barely changed.\n\nToday, investors still have to research, source, price, verify, store, track, and eventually resell every card individually. Building diversified exposure often means becoming a part-time card dealer.\n\nReal estate has REITs. Gold has ETFs. Equities have index funds.\n\nThe asset class exists. The investment product does not.\n\n## What tash does\n\ntash builds professionally managed trading card portfolios around distinct parts of the market.\n\nInitial portfolios range from broad market exposure through the tash25 Index to focused strategies like GOATs, Rising Stars, Vintage, Pokémon, and TCGs.\n\nInvestors gain diversified exposure while tash manages sourcing, verification, secure vaulting, insurance, reporting, and the eventual sale of the underlying cards.\n\ntash is actively pursuing SEC qualification to make these products available to more investors.\n\n## Why us\n\nWe grew up collecting cards and never stopped.\n\nVictor, Nathan, and John met in high school before attending UC Berkeley, where they met Nico and became roommates. Together, we have bought and sold more than $1M of trading cards and collectibles.\n\nOur professional experience spans finance, data, and marketplaces, alongside years spent buying at card shows, negotiating, tracking prices, and studying the market.\n\n## The broader vision\n\nTrading cards are the starting point.\n\ntash is building the financial infrastructure needed to bring the broader $330B+ collectibles market into public markets, making cultural assets easier to access, evaluate, and invest in.\n\nInterested in investing in trading cards?

        "body": "**TL;DR:** Roma is the to-do list that does itself. It's the original productivity tool reinvented. The task list you already keep, remade so the tasks actually get done.\n\n<https://youtu.be/6bEw1OBRTkU>\n\n### The original\n\nFrom pen and paper to apps on a phone, the to-do list has stood the test of time. It's the original productivity tool, and the one tool everyone has used at least once.\n\nYou can't say that about many things, especially as technology advances. But whether you have one task or seventeen, there's a to-do list in your head, in your pocket, or on your desk right now.\n\nSince the beginning, all to-do lists have made the same promise: write the task down so you can stop worrying about it. The catch is that you always have to come back and do it yourself. So the tasks pile up.\n\n### The problem\n\nWhen AI became smart enough to actually help you get things done, we did what a lot of people did and built our own agents. It was hard. It took forever. Even when it worked, it didn't work the way we wanted. \n\nThen the AI Assistants arrived, promising to handle things for you. People love them. That's the clearest sign the demand is there.\n\nBut the work never stay put. It lives in one chat, then another, then an inbox, then a doc somewhere. Instead of doing the work, you're tracking the work down.\n\n### Reinventing the to-do list\n\nThat's why we're playing the long game and not building another assistant. We're reinventing the original productivity tool: the to-do list.\n\n**Roma is the to-do list that does itself.** \n\nThat sounds possible with AI, but it's really hard to get right. You have to be able to add a task for anything and the system has to figure out what you meant, get to work on multiple things in the background, sort it into the right project, and surface it at exactly the right time. \n\nSo that's where we spent most of our time building Roma. Underneath Roma is a harness built to take a task from idea to execution. And on top, it feels as simple and light as the to-do list that you're used to. \n\n### What it feels like\n\nRoma gets real tasks done. But what you notice first is what it does to your mind. You realize you haven't thought about that one task in hours, because it's being handled. You walk into a meeting prepared. You close your laptop with a clear head.\n\n### Why us\n\nWe're Jan, Tobi, and Cody. Jan previously built Loom (YC W12, acquired by Dropbox), and Tobi built Senic (YC S13, acquired by Gira). \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=117892&key=user_uploads/24212/d1545e35-9497-4e2f-a4f9-34f6420684e6)\n\n### Where this goes\n\nWe're only scratching the surface of what Roma can do. As Roma takes on more of your work, the to-do list becomes the place you hand off everything. \n\nWe're going to connect with the apps and assistants you're already using. So whatever you're working on, Roma becomes the center of how it gets done. \n\nWe're only scratching the surface of what Roma can do, and we can't wait to hear what you think.\\\n\\\n**Try Roma:**\n\n* Website: <https://roma.app>\n* Mac &amp; iOS: <https://roma.app/download>\n\nWe're very excited to hear what you all think!",

A billion people already carry the right device, but none of them have the right connector.\r\n\r\nMoonshot is personal intelligence that lives on your iPhone and listens to you 24/7. It continuously builds up a greater understanding of you through constantly listening and building context. It just pays deep attention, the way a good friend does. Through this, Moonshot monitors your conscious and subconscious life, figuring out what you need before you know, reminding you about open loops, identifying life and emotional trends before you recognize it, and covering a lot more of what we gloss over in daily life.\r\n\r\nFor fifty years, software has waited to be asked. We think tools are just good enough to flip this, and the next great software will provide value before asking for something first. We're doing it through Moonshot.\r\n\r\nOur thesis is simple: you're only living half your life. The half that you actively remember. The other half just evaporates into your subconscious: what you said, felt, promised, and forgot. It's the more interesting half, and until now nothing could catch it, making it not actionable.\r\n\r\nMoonshot catches your subconscious half and understands you well enough to take actions on your behalf.\r\n\r\nTake life personally.\r\n\r\nThe iOS app is designed around ambient listening and clear user control. Short microphone chunks are sent securely to Moonshot's private transcription service and deleted when transcription finishes. Text and selected context can be sent through Moonshot's server to a model when the app needs to understand a moment. Nothing leaves without your yes. The privacy policy explains every data path, stored copy, permission, and deletion control in detail.\r\n\r\nMoonshot is in early access. Join the waitlist to hear when access opens, read more about the team and product on the About page, or use the Contact page for a direct written response from the Moonshot team.\r\n\r\nLet's make it a Moonshot.",

    "long_description": "Egoist Machines is building infrastructure for a world where your personal context belongs to you, rather than to the apps and AI companies you use. Today, every assistant and consumer app builds its own version of you. We think that architecture is backwards. Your context should live with you, persist across products, and be available to any model, app or agent you choose.\r\n\r\nAI Passport is the first layer of that infrastructure. It brings the context you generate across AI assistants and everyday apps into one portable profile you control. Tell ChatGPT something and Claude can already know it, for example. Switch to a new product and it can understand you from the first interaction, without the new company needing to own the underlying data.\r\n\r\nApps integrate through Sign in with AI Passport, requesting only the context they need for a specific purpose and duration. Users can see what is being accessed and revoke that access later. Underneath, we have built our own memory infrastructure for fast, compact per-user retrieval and permissioned access.\r\n\r\nWe are distributing AI Passport directly to consumers through first-party products, while integrating it into consumer applications with existing distribution. Every new product that uses Passport gives users another reason to maintain their context there, and every additional Passport holder makes the context layer more useful to developers.\r\n\r\nThe next step is to build a true Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents. We call it Digital Domovoy, the hardware extension of AI Passport. Instead of your most personal context ultimately living on somebody else's servers, it lives and is processed locally on hardware you control. AI Passport becomes the permission layer between that private local context and the cloud models and internet services you choose to use.\r\n\r\nOur North Star is the Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents.",

        "body": "**TL;DR:** We are building AI Passport, the user-owned context layer for consumer AI. It lets people carry their personal context between products while controlling exactly what each product can access, why, and for how long.\n\nRead our manifesto for the bigger vision: <https://ego.ist/notes/the-egoist-machine>\n\nCreate your AI Passport to start taking control of your data: <https://ego.ist/>\n\n**Ask**: if you’re working on a consumer-facing AI application, or know someone who is, we’d love to chat: [founders@ego.ist](mailto:founders@ego.ist)\n\n<https://youtu.be/nLnZNjyHV0s>\n\nThe next era of consumer technology will be **hyper-personalised**. The products that understand each user from the very first interaction will create fundamentally better experiences and, we believe, the next consumer decacorns. People increasingly lack the time and patience to train every new product from scratch.\n\nThe main blocker to ubiquitous consumer AI is that every major AI assistant and consumer app is building its own private and incomplete model of the same person. ChatGPT holds one model, Claude another, while the data in health apps, calendar, shopping history, travel accounts, wearables, and financial tools remain trapped in separate silos. No product has the complete context needed to understand you, and no user has a single place from which to control it.\n\nAs a result:\n\n\\- Users get bored of repeatedly explaining themselves;\n\n\\- Companies spend money building context that already exists;\n\n\\- Personal data remains trapped inside platforms the user does not control.\n\nThe natural end state of this inefficiency is one user-owned memory and context layer that sits above individual products. Apps request the specific context they need, and users grant scoped, time-limited access instead of permanently surrendering their data.\n\n**_That is AI Passport_**.\n\n---\n\n## How AI Passport works\n\nAI Passport is a centralised, user-controlled home for personal context.\n\nYou can think of it as **Link for personal context**. Link lets people securely save their payment and shipping information once and reuse it across businesses; AI Passport does the same for _all_ your context, including preferences, interests, goals, history, health, travel, and so much more.\n\nUsers bring this context into one centralised AI Passport by connecting the apps and AI assistants they already use. They can also save anything they discover online or on social media directly to their Passport. New information enters an approval inbox, where the user decides whether it becomes _private memory_ or part of their _living, shareable public profile_.\n\nThat same Passport then becomes a plug-and-play connector for consumer apps through our **Sign in with AI Passport** OAuth system:\n\n1\\. An app requests the specific context it needs.\n\n2\\. The user sees exactly what is being requested, why it is needed, and how long access will last.\n\n3\\. The user can approve, edit, or deny the request, with the option to grant one-time, time-limited, or continuing access .\n\n4\\. Every permission can later be inspected or revoked.\n\nWe are launching AI Passport directly to consumers and through distribution and deep-integration partners collectively reaching millions of users across dining, ride-hailing, wearables, healthcare, lifestyle, finance and more.\n\nWe built a custom memory backend for AI Passport. It is optimised for compact, exact retrieval across isolated per-user memory stores and supports cryptographic access control at the memory layer. The retrieval path is constrained by the user's active permission, so the product can access only the context authorised for that purpose and period.\n\n---\n\n## Who we are\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=111045&key=user_uploads/3328552/4bb1bba6-8c9f-4d94-b88a-28051f5e6e45)\n\n**Dr David Khachaturov** holds a PhD (Uni of Cambridge) in Computer Science and is the youngest-ever Fellow at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. Previously an ML Researcher at OpenAI (PaperBench) and Lead AI Security Researcher at FrontierOne.\n\n**Erin Meryl McGurk** grew 0 to 1M followers on socials in one year. Advised Uni of Cambridge, UK Govt, OpenAI on social media strategy. Founded social enterprise Girl Economics to 15 countries, 75 ambassadors, 10+ weekly events.\n\n---\n\n## Our Ask\n\n**For users:** create your AI Passport (<https://ego.ist>) and tell us what you think!\n\n**For builders:** if you are building a product that could benefit from richer user context, explore our developer docs (<https://ego.ist/docs>) and feel free to reach out to [founders@ego.ist](mailto:founders@ego.ist).\n\nWe would especially value introductions to teams building consumer AI, wearables, health products, commerce experiences, or agents that need bounded access to sensitive personal information.

        "body": "[ ](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zthUpXW7Hi4L-RS7sdzT1gbcEoS-VlM5/view?usp=sharing)\n\\\nThis is me running 20 agents in parallel. This is my real everyday workflow, not a demo.\n\n**What we do** Jcode is an open-source coding agent that's 20x more memory-efficient than Claude Code, which means you can run 20x more agents in parallel on the same machine. It hits state-of-the-art results on coding benchmarks. Try it: <https://jcode.sh/>\n\n**The problem** Most coding agents are heavy. Each instance eats gigabytes of RAM, and because memory is the bottleneck, you can only run a handful at once. That caps how much work you can hand off at a time. The real power of agents is dispatching lots of different tasks in parallel and having them all worked on at once, and that's exactly what today's tools make too expensive to do.\n\n**Our solution** Jcode is engineered from the ground up to be lightweight, roughly 20x more memory-efficient than Claude Code. Since RAM is what caps how many agents you can run, cutting memory 20x lets you fire off 20x more tasks in parallel on the same hardware. It's fully open source, so you can run it yourself and inspect exactly what it does.\n\n**Who I am** I'm Jeremy, 21, building Jcode. I think running many agents in parallel is the single biggest lever in developer productivity. Previously I hacked GitHub Copilot for unlimited tokens, and I'm top 500 in the world on Monkeytype. GitHub: <https://github.com/1jehuang>\n\n**Developers:** Try Jcode today: <https://jcode.sh/>\n\n**Investors:** I'm raising around Demo Day.

But the most durable thing online has always been doing things together, and games are the most natural way people connect. We think the next great social platform is one where friends play, not scroll.\n\n**What we built**\n\nDescribe a game, make it, and play it.\n\n* Solo and multiplayer\n* 2D and 3D, playable on the web and on Android (iOS coming soon)\n* Everything is social, with room codes, leaderboards, likes, comments, and creator profiles\n\nEvery game is a link, so it spreads through group chats and Discord instead of dying after one play.\n\n**Traction**\n\n20,000+ creators and 100,000+ monthly active users, growing organically, much of it through discovery via AI tools like ChatGPT. The loop is working: users make things, share them, and their friends come back to play and make their own.\n\n**Where this goes**\n\nGaming is already bigger than film and music combined, and Roblox showed that handing creation tools to players can build a $40B company. AI takes that further: when making a game costs one sentence, games stop being products and become a language, made in minutes, shared like memes, personalized to the exact people playing them.\n\n**Team**\n\n* **Gary Wu:** Prev APM at Salesforce, Harvard CS and US Presidential Scholar.\n* **Frank Liu:** Prev SWE at Instagram. Top-1,000 TFT player.\n* **Akhil Aggarwal:** Prev investor at Bain Capital Ventures, Engineer at AWS building credential-threat detection deployed globally.\n\nWe're lifelong gamers on a mission to make AI the most powerful medium for fun. The biggest thing AI changes about games isn't how they're made, it's who gets to play.\n\n**Our ask:** Try it and make something today at <https://instaplay.ai>\n\nWe'd love intros for consumer and influencer partnerships.

        "body": "**TL;DR:** [MOCHI.TV](http://MOCHI.TV) is a mobile app to watch vertical anime shorts. Users can scroll to discover shows and binge bite-sized episodes, unlocking them with either coins or a subscription. We produce new shows daily with AI, and they've hit 300M+ views organically.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LtKQ-A9-Dpc>\n\n**The problem**\n\nTraditionally, entertainment takes years to go from production to the TV screen. But fans always crave more. With the advent of AI, entertainment cycles become as fast as days, and now we’re able to serve the most underserved audience of all - anime fans.\n\n**What we built**\n\nA mobile app to watch 1 minute anime packed with:\n\n* emotional thrills (_finally_, you get revenge on the bully), \n* plot twists (_turns out_, the bully is your secret long-lost sibling), \n* and cliffhangers (_suddenly_, the bully whispers “without me, they’ll come for you…”)\n\nUnlike traditional anime, our content is built for Gen Z. TikTok doomscrolling and lower attention spans has led to audiences wanting payoffs in seconds instead of seasons. Our AI workflow allows us to drop a new series a day and build a daily habit with our users, with shows written by top writers from Toei Animation, Spider-man, Webtoon, Spongebob, Robot Chicken, and more.\n\nAnd users are not just passive viewers either - they can create their own through the app as well, with remixing and creator monetization on the way.\n\n**Traction**\n\n300M+ views, 100K+ users, and 900K+ followers across socials, grown organically.\n\n<https://www.instagram.com/watchmochitv>\n\n**Looking ahead**\n\nWith AI, we’re able to build durability like a media company, but iterate like a software company. Making hits is no longer a creative risk but a matter of time and data. Anime is our beachhead, but we plan to expand to every vertical - from live action to dating shows, to k-dramas and kids TV - with AI at the forefront. Like Pixar in the 90s, or Netflix in the 00s, we see an opportunity to build the next great entertainment company on the cusp of a new technology.\n\n**Team**\n\n* **Robert Qiu:** Scaled game startup to $200K/mo, UC Berkeley alum and ex-FAANG\n* **Michael Ninh:** Watched 400+ anime, led consumer growth at Hush (S16) and Massdrop, managed 100s of video creatives\n\nWe're lifelong anime fans with a love for consumer products - this is the most exciting thing we’ll ever build.\n\n**Our ask:** Watch anime (or create one) at <https://www.mochi.tv/>\n\nReach us at [founders@mochi.tv](mailto:founders@mochi.tv)",

        "body": "**TL;DR** [Veeza AI](https://veeza.ai) helps people with weak passports get tourist visas. Upload your passport, and our computer-use agents verify your documents, fill in all the forms and book your visa appointment.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGgKG-L-VBU>\n\n**The problem**\n\nHey, I'm Aly. I'm Canadian-Egyptian, and I've traveled on a strong passport and a weak one. With a strong one, you book a flight. With a weak one, you spend hours filling out forms (the UK's is 68 steps long), collect a stack of documents, then fight for an appointment like Taylor Swift tickets. And just like with Taylor Swift tickets, scalpers get there first. Their bots grab the slots and resell them for as much as $1,000.\n\nMy friends and I have missed weddings, engagements and conferences because of this. I get that countries need to vet who comes in. It just shouldn't be this hard.\n\n**How Veeza AI works**\n\n1. Pick your destination from 33 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada and Schengen countries.\n2. Upload your passport and documents. Our AI verifies them, flags anything missing, fills in all the forms and books your visa appointment.\n3. A human reviews everything to make sure it's done right.\n\nBehind the scenes, our computer-use agents work through the government portals for you.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=122484&key=user_uploads/578651/140a58f6-93a5-4631-aaff-51ce99d2417f)\n\nSince joining YC, we've grown from 1,000 to 7,000+ users. People are recommending us to their families and coming back for their next visa. A woman applied through Veeza AI, then her mom did, then her grandmother. One traveler has had four visas approved through us since June.\n\nAbout 5 billion people have weak passports. We estimate the Global South files 200 million tourist visa applications a year. We're starting with MENA, then the entire Global South. And as personal AI agents start planning and booking people's trips, Veeza AI will be where they turn for visas.\n\n**How you can help**\n\nKnow a travel agency or company whose customers need tourist visas? I'd love an intro for B2B2C partnerships.\n\nYou can reach us at [**founders@veeza.ai**](mailto:founders@veeza.ai).\n\nAly",

Then it acts, alerting staff in the moment and seating each new party with the server who has room. A POS only knows what gets typed into it. Shire knows what is happening in the room, so wait-time quotes, staffing, and pricing run on real turn times.",
