We just launched our new Web Search API on Product Hunt today The fastest and most accurate way for AI agents to search the entire web and get structured, production ready data back. This was by far our most requested feature. It took months of work to build and get right. Combined with our People and Company APIs, agents can now find real answers across news, social posts, research papers, open source content, blogs, and live websites and use that information immediately. If you are building AI agents for sales, recruiting, investment, insurance, research, or internal automation, this is a foundational layer.

We analyzed all 656 of OpenAI’s current job listings to understand where their focus is and why they decided to acquire TBPN Here’s what we found: → Only 30 of 656 roles are in Research → ~150 are in Go-To-Market, more than Research, Security, and Data Science combined → ~100 are Palantir-style Forward Deployed Engineers. Anthropic surpassed them in enterprise market share. This is their answer → 18 roles are dedicated to ads. They hit $100M in ad revenue within 6 weeks of the pilot → 20 roles are in health and life sciences. Drug discovery, FDA submissions, clinical docs → 41 roles are for the Jony Ive hardware device

Replit's AI recruiter just got 20x faster and more accurate Using the Crustdata real-time API, recruiters can now analyze everyone a company hired in the last 3 months: hiring patterns, team structure and where top talent is coming from And moree - you can now get results in seconds for any person you are looking for: "Find me backend engineers with Rust experience, at least 10 repos, who worked at a Series A company for 8+ months" "Find me ex-FAANG product managers who moved to startups in the last 12 months and could fill a Head of Product role" "Find me staff-level ML engineers with LLM experience who recently left Big Tech and are now at companies with <200 employees" "Find me top-performing SDRs hired in the last 90 days at high-growth SaaS companies in London with a new VP Sales" Everything possible with Replit + Crustdata APIs

The @TBPN Effect: We tracked the web traffic for every TBPN sponsor before and after partnering with TBPN On average, TBPN sponsors grew their web traffic by +65% after partnering with the popular show @TBPN, hosted by @johncoogan and @jordihays Some examples: @Ramp: 1.3M => 4.8M visits/mo (partner since Jan 28, 2025) @turbopuffer: 8K => 68K visits/mo (partner since Sep 30, 2025) @Linear: 2.2M => 5.9M visits/mo (partner since Apr 25, 2025) Whether it was TBPN that caused the growth or not - you can't deny the TBPN effect.

we hired a new growth engineer and this is how I instantly knew he was a good hire: finding low-hanging fruits fast and fixing them just 2 days after joining, he built a Claude skill called pre-call-research all you do is connect Claude to Google Calendar, the Crustdata MCP and Slack before every call it automatically: - looks at who's attending - pulls the company's page + domain data - checks the inbound booking context - fetches enriched real-time profiles of each attendee via Crustdata - creates a full brief: company snapshot, talking points, prospect assessment you can also schedule it: "every morning at 8am, run pre-call research on all my calls for the day and DM me the briefs" if you join a new company, find those low-hanging fruits as fast as possible and fix them one of the best impressions you can leave

Our non-technical marketing team used Claude Code to build a tool on top of our APIs. It's now ranked #4 on Product Hunt Just 2 years ago, this would have been impossible Something is changing right now that I have seen across many YC companies: Every single employee will become an "engineer" in their field: > Marketing engineer > GTM engineer > Customer success engineer And they will create their own tools and workflows to be more productive than ever Btw: give it a go and check out our launch. We are competing with Gemini and Claude for the top #3!

this is exactly why we decided to adopt a "Palantir" model for sales seeing more and more YC companies doing the same: there is a massive shift right now toward wanting to build products in-house but despite all the hype around replacing SaaS, there are still some blockers companies have: they: 1) don't know where to start or what "it" should look like 2) don't know how they should go about building 3) lack the resources to build / maintain it taking all that into account, we've decided to adopt a Palantir model for sales and will be testing: what if we still sell our data/APIs, but also take care of the building end-to-end? the results so far of some of the products that came out of it: - fully automated TAM building and email sequence platform for a Big 4 company - automated "warmest path" for intros to founders for a private equity fund and others that are basically a manifestation of the question: "what's your dream state for X?" (X being sales, marketing, investing, etc.) It's a lot to promise, but we're excited about the early potential. if you are interested in building your dream state for sales, recruiting, or investing - drop a note and we'll reach out!

Almost every SaaS app inside Vercel has now been replaced with a generated app or agent interface, deployed on Vercel. Support, sales, marketing, PM, HR, dataviz, even design and video workflows. It’s shocking. The SaaSpocalypse is both understated and overstated. Over because the key systems of record and storage are still there (Salesforce, Snowflake, etc.) Understated because the software we are generating is more beautiful, personalized, and crucially, fits our business problems better. We struggled for years to represent the health of a Vercel customer properly inside Salesforce. Too much data (trillions of consumption data points), the ontology of Vercel was a mismatch to the built-in assumptions, and the resulting UI was bizarre. We generated what we needed instead. When you don’t need a UI, you just ask an agent with natural language. We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs, as well as just dropping abstraction down to more traditional databases. UI is a function 𝑓 of data (always has been), and that 𝑓 is increasingly becoming the LLM.

How can recruiters know if a candidate accepted a job offer? One of our customers, who is building an AI recruiting platform, was facing exactly this problem: a candidate goes through interviews, then goes quiet, and nobody knows what happened next Using the real-time Crustdata APIs, they were able to get a notification the moment that candidate joined a company they had been in process with

So I pulled the actual data via the Crustdata API and here is what Anthropic's marketing org really looks like... Over 126 people in total work in marketing @AnthropicAI what is impressive though is that he ran the a typically huge sub-team!

This is INSANE, Anthropic ran its marketing with basically one person. Austin lau, a non-technical growth lead, was running paid search, paid social, email, and seo solo. Here’s the workflow: > export ad CSVs into Claude Code > AI flags underperforming ads > agents generate new headlines + descriptions > Figma auto-swaps copy across 100 ad templates > MCP server pulls live Meta data The results: > ad creation went from 2 hours to 15 minutes. > total marketing output grew 10×. > conversion rates landed 41% above industry average. One person doing what used to take an entire marketing team.

YC never accepted more than 2,000 founders in a single year was curious after seeing this tweet so I used the Crustdata MCP in Claude to get the data: YC accepted 1,351 founders in 2025 1,293 in 2024 1,090 in 2023 1,371 in 2022 the peak was 1,596 in 2021

first check $500k-1M pre-seed@ajhodls

there are now ~2000 new YC founders per year (!!!) no joke like 1 out of every 2 people who relocated to SF in 2025 must be a YC founder, that's insane
