No one is going to churn Slack for this just because it is "Agent First". Slack is more than good enough to tag Agents and will fill in the missing pieces slowly

This is an ad FYI

So basically web scraping as a service with an API on top?

They'll route traffic to Haiku or one of their cheaper models, not third parties. Overall cost will end up being cheaper than whatever you are doing

Large model companies will likely build this and make it better. It'll also be cheaper overall since they'll be subsidizing token cost if you use them directly vs third party router paying API costs

Seems like over engineering just build an API in front of your agent, give the other agent the spec in a markdown file.

Every important computing platform has been defined by what people built with it. The PC became meaningful because developers built software. The web became meaningful because developers built websites. Smartphones became meaningful because developers built apps. We believe augmented reality will be no different.

At a $2195 price point, it just won't be possible to have an ecosystem. All the other platforms mentioned were orders of magnitude cheaper. That being said, I do think AR has real utility, but the price discovery will take a while

Is this a bet that Computer Use models don't get better and cheaper?

how can I short the we won't read code anymore bet?

I haven't seen one unique product in AI, everyone is building the same thing

aren't the edge cases not generalizable and specific to the business? It doesn't seem like a one size fits all solution would work

Those were consumer apps, not B2B. No deep niche experience needed, Uber had to fight regulations but wasn't something industry knowledge would've helped with a ton

I wonder if this approach to starting a vertical business the founders have 0 experience in has ever panned out. I know YC pushes the B2B SaaS angle as hard as possible, searching for "underserved" niches, but seems like if you don't have true industry experience, it can't possibly work out.

where did you get your ideas from then? did you have domain knowledge already? can DM you if you want

what a cool business. were you in the music world before starting this?

Why didn't you found yourself at any point? I understand gaining experience as a founding engineer, but after a certain point, you need to work as hard as the technical founder, take the same career risk, for way less payout

I would define that as success. My definition is the feeling of success in the eyes of the founders, not millions of dollars or whatever hyped up benchmark

were your projects in spaces you were familiar with? I feel like that makes the dart less random. Also I feel like it's hard to get customers/users on calls

Can you clarify more on your "overnight success"?

To succeed, I mean product market fit, or the business being healthy enough from the founders perspective with minimal(always non zero) doubts.

Did you have experience in that space? Are you a solo founder?

If you look at his recent content, I think he's gotten LLM Psychosis unfortunately

I'm guessing it'll be something around spinning up MCPs easily as an evolution of their product. Just right place, right time

People who don't code(management, leadership) think AI will 10x the company but it's really a 40-60% boost. But engineers have to feign adopting this tools in fear of layoffs

Do they actually have something or is it just a wrapper with tool calling?

No it's slop and most of the hype was manufactured marketing. It has 0 utility, and any perceived utility you can build yourself easily

Who even uses their open source product?

Apple is just waiting for all the slop to inevitably crash to see what actually works

I wonder if people really need this. How many people are really building multiplayer apps like Figma, Linear etc? I'm guessing 99% are CRUD and I doubt that will change. Even if so, would you want to vendor lock into some proprietary technology rather than build with tried and tested open source components?

half the watchlist is literally vaporware

If you didn't know, 30 under 30 doesn't have a selection process and you can literally apply and game your way into being mentioned. I honestly love the site and the UI. Great job! Would be nice to have some kind of thing for YC founders as well
