It is unfortunately a race to the bottom..
but maybe that's ok, if the world has trillions of agents
Marketing your product as the cheapest solution will get you a decent no of customers initially. There's only one problem: someone will always be cheaper. The primary moat should always be something else.

We are cohosting the “Build an Agent” hackathon on Oct 7 with @MonidHQ and @Agent37HQ!
The challenge: build an agent that takes over a repetitive workflow you’d happily never do again.
The grand prize includes $3,700 cash, a year of Agent37, and a trip to Vegas 👀
Got a workflow you’re tired of doing manually? Come build with us :)
Excited to be cohosting with yall!

such an energetic and creative team!
Today we’re launching WonderSearch (YC F26)
Search millions of unstructured documents without pre-embedding the corpus. With comparable/better retrieval recall than embedding-based search.
WonderSearch searches at query time:
> No corpus-wide embedding step.
> No vector index to maintain.
> More compute only when needed.
> Pay per search intead of embeddings you may never use.
Go from raw data to useful answers in seconds.

Why does claude write so poorly !
It's so frustrating to have to re-write any comms this thing spits out..

There are 500 founders in this YC batch, too many to meet one at a time, so every week YC books a dinner and puts you at a table with five of them.
It's humbling, to meet some of these incredibly smart/resilient founders from different fields.

Love seeing these from customers!
We're ~95% lower than most sandbox providers.
Agent37 makes it easy to run your cli session in cloud . Very flexible and prob the best cost effective solution

I did not expect the U.S. to lead in DataCenter capacity by this margin!!
I think we'll be ok.

90 Days of YC: Week 1
The most counterintuitive thing I heard this week: "friends are your biggest go-to-market".
A solo founder from S26 told me that, and after a week of meeting batchmates I think he's right.
Two more lessons in the video... (one I learned the hard way at a previous startup)

90 Days of YC: Day 3
How I manage my time as a solo founder:
I split the week into CEO days and CTO days. CEO days take every call, sales, support and marketing. CTO days are blocked from all human contact.

Wanna take a moment to thank everyone for the support in DMs and otherwise 🫶
Also, thanks to @hanghuang_ and @JinjingLiang for a YC F26 welcome party, which was a nice change of pace :)

My O-1 visa was denied today.
I might have a week left to leave the country. A lot to figure out, but I’m getting back to work.
