Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to start something – from dropshipping during COVID to flipping watches on 47th street, the itch was always there. After years of tinkering and one too many 2 am rabbit holes, I'm super excited to be launching @trykinect . Kinect turns static storefronts into adaptive, real-time experiences that actually close. I've seen this problem firsthand, and I'm convinced agentic commerce is the next big shift in how people shop. Couldn't be more stoked to be on this journey alongside my co-founder with a shopping addiction, @Kratik_ag Tag your favorite brands below to give them the Kinect experience👇

Kinect (@trykinect) turns every e-commerce store into an AI-powered storefront that actually sells. As customers shop, online shopping assistants leverage what each customer is looking for in the moment, adapts to every visitor in real time, captures buying intent data they’ve never had before. Congrats on the launch, @Kratik_ag & @VarunKand! ycombinator.com/launches/Q1Q-k…

Excited to share with everyone what I'll be doing for the next 5+ years. I've always wanted to be a founder - after winning the stock market game in 4th grade, I think it's been in the books. Happy it's finally happening. Kinect takes a little piece of all my experiences and puts it all together. My first work experience was for Google Commerce - Hotels and Ads. So I got to see how one of the biggest companies in the world operates in commerce. After that I worked on the ML clustering models at Anduril, then enterprise AI at Verkada, and then Conversational Intelligence at Reevo. If you hodgepodge all that together - and squint - you get Kinect. Excited for the journey and to build alongside @VarunKand RT and comment your favorite place to shop — I'll email their founders with screenshots

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

can someone from @ycombinator DM me? it doesn’t feel normal that the success of their startup launches is so random, some do millions of views, others flop i’d be happy to teach their founders how to nail a launch and get millions of views, with a simple workshop or OH session, for free
