As the internet has become more powerful and crowded, it has become harder for everyone to use. And the solutions we’ve come up with to date — like irritating chatbots and pestering popups — end up being ignored or even annoying users more than they help.\r\n\r\nWe sell tools to software builders and buyers to help them make their software better for users.\r\n\r\nWe call this as our User Assistance Platform, and it comes in 2 pieces:\r\n- AI Agent — an AI chat agent that can answer users questions, perform actions for them, and even co-browse with them to teach your interface.\r\n\r\n- Nudge Platform — AI-assisted nudges, hints, and messages to guide users in personalized ways that don’t annoy them. We do this by optimally delivering nudges based on in-product behavior not just static rules as well as measuring measuring and the extent to which users “rage close” nudges to avoid pestering them. A replacement for legacy Digital Adoption Platforms\r\n\r\nUser assistance translates into concrete outcomes like improved engagement, feature adoption, conversion, and retention, all while decreasing low-value support tickets.\r\n\r\nWe’re used by teams like HubSpot, HashiCorp, Yotpo, Thryvv, and Freshworks.",

You chat with Repaint, plan the style and pages, and import your content. Then Repaint generates a custom website in minutes.\n\n**Demo:** <https://youtu.be/HkL9yoQOyOQ>\n\n**The Problem**\\\nAI coding tools are incredibly powerful now, but most people still make websites with Wix and Squarespace. Vibe coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Replit can generate a webpage from a prompt in a few minutes, but beyond that they’ve focused more on app building than marketing sites:\n\n* They generate single pages with generic content, leaving you to build the rest.\n* The visual style is hard to control, with few resources for inspiration.\n* They surface technical details like code, hosting providers, and github integrations.\n* They charge per edit, so finishing a large marketing site is expensive.\n\nThere’s no major AI tool focused on making polished websites for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and marketers. That’s what we’re building.\n\n**The Solution**\\\nRepaint is an AI website builder designed to get you to a finished site, not just a starting point.\n\n* **It starts by learning about you.** Repaint interviews you about your business, what pages you need, and what style you're going for. It can research your company online and import existing content.\n* **You control the style.** You can pick a theme, provide reference links, and upload inspiration images. Or, you can let Repaint design it for you.\n* **It generates a complete site.** Repaint makes full websites with your real information. And it can recreate the same pages from an existing website.\n* **You edit with chat.** Restyle the whole site, add pages, update info across every page, redesign sections.\n* **It writes real code.** So it can build things template-based builders can't like custom animations, interactive components, calculators, and complex forms.\n* **Flat monthly pricing.** No per-edit credits.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98979&key=user_uploads/1045360/65931443-8184-450c-876c-89dcaf327f5f)\n\nWe opened Repaint about a month ago, and we’ve had hundreds of people make sites for tons of different businesses including YC startups, bakeries, cycling coaches, and more.\n\n**Our Background**\\\nRepaint is actually our second website builder. During YC S23, we built a different website builder with a drag-and-drop interface inspired by Figma. Despite our best efforts, we never got it off the ground. The existing website builders were already heavily optimized, and the AI wave was rapidly making manual no-code tools obsolete.\n\nBut those years gave us deep expertise in web layout, editor UX, and what actually makes people give up on building a site. We think that's exactly what AI website building needs — not just better models, but a team that understands the challenges well enough to make it reliable.\n\n**Our Ask**\\\nIf you or someone you know needs a website, you can try it at [repaint.com](https://repaint.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98979&key=user_uploads/1045360/3fb2e2fb-d58e-41a9-89a1-c8afe08c8e21)\n\n",

It makes Vigilant a strong choice for startups looking to monitor their product without a massive investment in learning and integration.\n\n[You can try it yourself here](https://vigilant.run)\n\nㅤ\n\n# **Why Vigilant?**\n\nHowdy, I’m Ben Shumaker, the cofounder of Vigilant. I cofounded Vigilant with my best friend, Izak Fritz. Our goal is to make observability easier.\n\nAfter experiencing the frustrations of juggling multiple observability tools at Robinhood and using painfully clunky default options in our cloud providers, we grew tired of tools that seemed designed for experts. Most dedicated platforms assume you already have tons of specialized knowledge about what to monitor and how—but most developers don’t know.\n\nWe built Vigilant to be the first observability tool prioritizing simplicity, not just comprehensive features.\n\nㅤ\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nObservability platforms feel overwhelming, end-to-end:\n\n* Complex agent installation and configuration requirements\n* Huge variety of integration methods without clear guidance\n* Cluttered interfaces full of random information and endless configurations\n* Tedious manual queries for simple searches and graphs\n* Multi-variable pricing that's unpredictable and expensive\n\nㅤ\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89065&key=user_uploads/1045360/86936056-dc52-4c4e-8178-7f518ea9c0ad)\n\nVigilant is the opposite of a traditional observability tool:\n\n* SDK-based integration that only requires a few lines of application code\n* Auto-capture so you can send logs and errors without changing every file\n* Smart defaults that minimize setup time\n* Focused interface that surfaces relevant info, and nests complexity\n* Genuinely predictable pricing with a simple equation\n\nㅤ\n\n# **How It Works**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89065&key=user_uploads/1045360/fbb74c68-1c6a-4611-9ec7-5fa85719d2ce)\n\n1. **Installation** – Download our SDK for your tech stack\n2. **Integration** – Add a few lines to start sending logs, errors, or metrics\n3. **Manage in Vigilant** – After you've sent data, you view it and search it in Vigilant\n4. **Build Dashboards** – Create graphs and counters to visualize your data\n5. **Get Notifications** – Use integrations to get alerts when issues occur\n\nㅤ\n\n## **Ready to Simplify Your Observability?**\n\nYou can try Vigilant entirely on our free tier.

        "body": "Hi everyone. We’re Ben and Izak, cofounders of [AutoEmber](https://autoember.com/).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73608&key=user_uploads/1045360/88bf4baa-cd9a-451d-8fe7-8af58389c929)\n\n_(Left to Right)_\n\nBen: Former competitive gamer. Was on the MTG Pro Tour at 14. Rank 1 Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Lived with Reynad (CEO and Twitch streamer) and spent 2 years as lead game designer at TempoStorm. \n\nIzak: Built a crypto trading platform at Cove Markets, acquired by Robinhood in 2021. Previously, JP Morgan software engineer. Computer science at the University of Michigan.\n\nWe met over a decade ago playing Magic the Gathering in Holland, Michigan.\n\n### **😓 The Problem:**\n\nMaking websites is hard. To make a website today, you either:\n\n1. Learn html, css, and javascript –> Months of learning, hours of coding to make minor changes\n2. Use a template website builder –> Can’t customize, get a generic website\n\nMeanwhile, there’s thousands of designers who can make pixel-perfect mockups, but then they have to pass it off to a coder who can actually build it.\n\n### **💫The Solution:**\n\n[AutoEmber](https://autoember.com) - a visual design tool that makes real websites\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73608&key=user_uploads/1045360/6d4a6b5f-aab5-4949-ac45-737d003cb4c7)\n\nWe spent the last couple months building a web app that lets anyone make a custom website, end to end, without coding. The user experience:\n\n1. Make an account\n2. Design your website in the editor\n3. Push “Publish”\n\nToday, you could make a good looking website with a few pages in a couple hours. We’re constantly adding features to make it more 🥧 easy, 💪 powerful, and 💅 pretty\n\n### **Who its for:**\n\nYou’ll find it especially useful if you’re: \n\n* A designer who uses tools like Figma\n* A backend dev who doesn’t like frontend\n* A business owner who wants a custom website without coding\n\nBut anyone making a website should check it out.\n\n### **How you can help**\n\nGive it a try! It’s free. We love feedback. [AutoEmber.com](http://AutoEmber.com)\n\nIf you’re in the market for a website, please reach out! We’d be happy to help you design your website.
