New era of mobile creation!
Fastshot@fastshot_ai
We got into Y Combinator to kill AI slop for mobile apps. 15,000+ users. 16,000+ projects. 96 million lines of code later, we’re finally ready to introduce Fastshot. The team: → @DmitryFatkhi was building agents for @GoogleDeepMind teams at @Google → @elvirafortune was part of the team that created @kubeflow and built AI developer tools at @Google → @alexndrsukhanov scaled streaming for security cameras at @meraki We're the only AI mobile app builder that aligns with you at the design stage — before anything gets built. Describe → Design → Build → Ship. No more vibe-coded looking apps. No more wasting credits fixing ugly visuals. All in one platform. Welcome to how the future of apps should be built.

@Jiezi76371912 @fastshot_ai seriously impressive builds in 3 hours !
English
Yesterday at the Stanford × DeepMind Hackathon. I was blown away by the incredible work from other teams. Built a group decision app + presentation in just 3 hours with @fastshot_ai.
Key takeaway: shifting from design thinking to agent thinking.

@elvirafortune I start rebuilding collectipay using fastshot, after hours of waiting, it couldn't preview,
But the experience with all my fast projects were excellent

@elvirafortune hey, just tried fastshot and the ui is just rendering for the last 15 mins
English
Cool idea!
- AI did not recognize some words correctly for example, it interpreted “VCs” as “Visis” and therefore did not find any related emails.
- The Stop button was not intuitive; it wasn’t clear that I could continue in the same session without pressing it.
- It does not know which emails to prioritize, would be cool if it could identify the really important ones

Want to go through your email on your drive to work?
I built this little MVP: voice-email-production.up.railway.app
Just updated with the ability to search past emails and compose new messages.
I'd love feedback if you try it out.

We're excited to welcome Harshita Arora (@aroraharshita33) as YC's newest General Partner!
She started coding at 13, built and sold her first app as a teenager, and later co-founded AtoB (YC S20), a Series C company building financial infrastructure for the trucking industry, now serving 30,000+ fleets—and became YC’s youngest Visiting Partner.
Now she's bringing that experience to support YC founders.

@seraleev @khan_kilo what about high-quality apps with 50-step onboarding and a hard paywall?

@khan_kilo I’m voting for high-quality apps, not apps with 50-step onboarding and a hard paywall built from a single prompt

Apple just removed another vibe coding app: Anything AI
Reason: violation of Guideline 2.5.2
Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps.

what's one ai tool that you think is criminally underrated??

OpenAI shutting down Sora is the most predictable outcome of misunderstanding consumer behavior.
Everyone grossly overestimates how creative people want to be.
99% of humans simply want to scroll and zone out instead of spending energy conceptualizing, editing, and creating videos.
No matter how much the barrier to creation is lowered by a single prompt. It still takes effort and a fair amount of creative thinking.
Even Instagram has 2 billion users. But hardly ~10 million (or 0.5%) would be serious creators.
So any AI consumer app betting on "with [new_app], everyone becomes a creator!" is being delusional and will go down the same way.
After all the word "consumer" exists for a reason. They consume. They don't produce (or even want to lol)
