Such as? Are they able to recognize arbitrary GUI elements from various desktop programs, web browsers, etc?

What does your perception look like, are you using raw screenshots? GUI snapshots? Vision is very difficult for these, and snapshots are incomplete, is what I've found in some earl…

What are some truly valuable companies that would be accurately described as just "UIs around Postgres"? I think it's a non-sequitur - either companies are much more than just UIs …

I've heard this idea echoed quite a few times. But can anybody name a wrapper company as/more valuable than foundation model companies like OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Mistral, et…

> keep the server up Oh maybe I didn't understand from the site - it's not a standalone desktop app? What processing do you do on your server side?

Those are good ones. I've fiddled with similar systems before, do you have a rough success rate? I know they can be finicky, especially as you execute through a chain-of-thought ac…

Very cool! Any video demos for sample tasks? I didn't come across any on the website (browsing on mobile).

Is this like window/program repositioning for multiple monitors or something? Just making sure I understand. Would you describe how every window should be positioned? And if so wou…

What is something you or someone at your company has to do repetitively on a desktop? For example, it may involve some minor variations, could be kind of 'messy' and involves click…

Are there any datasets, with any labels or no labels, for people using their desktop computers to do mundane tasks like open applications, browse the web, interact with spreadsheet…

Great question. It's a combination of economics - lower-wage humans do many tasks much better - and technology - precise manipulation of tools and navigation of novel environments …

Thought this could be an interesting way to share potential ideas, but also discover potential products. Last time I mentioned a software I wish existed to a friend; they told me a…

Interesting examples. Personally, I don't really consider Ebay, AirBnB, Reddit, or Substack to be "technology companies". They are businesses that happen to be online, imo. I'm sur…

Indeed that's a good distinction that I don't think is made. Some of the other advice I've gotten from YC/PG essays is of the form 'build what seems cool' (if you're a technical an…

Interested in what may now be a somewhat contrarian idea. It's startup school 101 to avoid "SISP": Solutions in Search of a Problem. I think YC's startup school actually coined thi…

Curious as to people's experiences with Crossover. Has anyone hired great candidates from there, or been hired themselves at a good position? Or maybe someone's had a bad experienc…

I'm curious as to what unique value add is being done on top on the core chatgpt (or claude or whatever) website and chat interface. Now they have very long context windows, abilit…

Can you think of any majorly successful products or companies that launched and were pretty much ignored? What happened / what did the founders do to eventually get traction?

Let's say you have an AI Agent that can control your computer, or do some computer actions in a limited environment. Or maybe control some other hardware device! What would you lik…

As an unknown/nobody with a startup and a pitch, have you personally gotten anywhere cold messaging investors? Emailing them, messaging on LinkedIn, filling out website application…

How do you know when to stop working on something? Context being something like an early stage startup, or side project, or related initiative.

That would be my ideal device haha... have any particular devices of that nature you'd recommend? Lower end on cost would be preferred.

Appreciate the ego boost, but it was literally some modifications to python opencv demos available on their webpage. But that's what's amazing, it was up and running so fast and wo…

Funny enough I actually did Android development contract work circa 2012-2014. I never did anything more complex than working with internal phone components (bluetooth, acceleromet…
