We let four AI agents run radio companies Revenue's been terrible, but the shows are hilarious. Gemini, concerningly upbeat, covered mass tragedies; Grok was incoherent; DJ Claude urged ICE agents: "You still have TIME to refuse orders" Link below, or get our physical radio

@loombotic We’re launching the world’s first quick-turn, high-mix, fully automated wire harness production line. Our goal is to make wire harnesses as fast and easy to order as PCBs or sheet metal. Customers can already upload a harness design and get an instant quote. Starting today, these parts can now be produced on our automated line. We’re starting with Mini-Fit Jr., with more connectors coming soon.

Company Brain @t_blom Every company has critical know-how scattered across people's heads, old Slack threads, support tickets, and databases, and AI agents can't operate like that. We think every company in the world is going to need a new primitive: a living map of how the company works that turns its own artifacts into an executable skills file for AI.

Today, @UseCorgi is announcing a $160M Series B at a $1.3B valuation led by TCV. This new round of funding will help us scale what we've built and expand into new verticals including trucking, payroll, and small business. This follows our $108M Series A that we announced 16 weeks ago, bringing total funding to over $268M.

As requested, we added GPT 5.4 to Blueprint-Bench 2. GPT 5.5 is a meaningful improvement.

Today is the deadline to apply for YC Summer 2026. If you're still hesitating: the companies that change the world don't wait until they're 100% ready. Applying is sometimes literally the first step.

Go Filip! Excited to try Sauna.ai.
Filip Kozera@kozerafilip

Proactive agent that thinks and acts like you. Multiplayer AI Brain for teams. Proper GUI for commanding 50 agents. Sauna.ai is all three. Sauna goes live today. First 2000 people, use access code LAUNCH for $80 of weekly(!) credits. Let’s explain. Multiplayer only works once the personal brain is powerful. So let's start here. Personal AI Brain 3,800+ tools connected. State of the Art memory. Skills and schedules you teach once that get repeated forever on cheaper models. An AI first CRM. Lives on the cloud so you can initiate tasks from anywhere: iMessage, Slack, Email. Also no need for a Mac mini 😉 GUI AI agents have been stuck in their MS-DOS era. A chat box, a scroll buffer, no way to command 50 of them. We built the first GUI: Live sessions on one side, work waiting for your sign-off on the other, plus the things Sauna kicked off while you were asleep waiting for review. Game mode helps clear the queue with actual joy. Okay so far so good, but how to give benefit of what you built to more people or whole team? Multiplayer Once your Sauna actually knows you and you gave her access to your tools, you can use multiplayer. Two modes: - Brain access. My co-founder Robert plugged my brain as a tool into his Sauna last month. He can ask it about pricing while I'm in other meetings, gets a sourced answer back, never has to interrupt me. That’s read only. Yolo mode gives him access to all my tools too :O - Communal Saunas extend that to whole companies with proper permissioning. Folder owners decide what's true for the whole company and build skills. Most get their personal brain + read access to communal files and memories. Works also for group planning my best friend's bachelor party. The Way I’ve been obsessed about AI Brain since 2016. Our human brains suck at some things like memory and are brilliant at others like creativity. We are also particularly bad at thinking we are all on the same page and then realising weeks later that we weren’t. Most leaders spend their days being the human diff tool, catching contradictions in hallway conversations and Slack threads. Repeating themselves 50 times. Now every company is spinning up hundreds or thousands of agents that drift faster than humans do, feeding each other their drift as context. Compounding rot. After 10 years and one failed company in this space we are launching the solution. The Launch We thought about a celebrity launch. Margot Robbie in a bathtub explaining agents. But then we realised the same money gives the first 2,000 people free daily credits, every day, until we burn through that $1,000,000. Sauna runs Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, GLM-5.1, DeepSeek, Kimi so you can budget yourself. The labs are racing to lock you so they can milk you in a year. We picked your side. Onboarding It’s live at app.sauna.ai We’ve preheated saunas based on a niche. Use the access codes in the comments to get a better experience.

MIT student asked a question earlier today that a lot of young founders are quietly wondering about: "Won’t the frontier labs just do everything?" Yes it's true that OAI/Ant are shipping at incredible pace, but it's quite easy to avoid their blast radius and build amazing startups: OpenAI is not going to build a cattle-herding drone, buy an old F-150 and drive from ranch to ranch like the founder of one of the fastest-growing YC W26 startups, Graze Mate. Anthropic is not going to integrate with dental insurance verification systems (Lance). Google is not going to navigate NATO procurement (Milliray). The value is in the last mile, not the model. Sales cycles require humans who understand the customer. And most importantly, the market is expanding, not shrinking: AI isn't cannibalizing the existing 1% software spend — it's unlocking the other 5-6% that was going to humans. That's a much bigger market for startups yet-to-be-founded than the one the labs are playing in. Now, what DOES seem risky? A thin UI layer on top of ChatGPT with no domain expertise; a general-purpose chatbot or assistant; or a product that gets obsolete when model capabilities improve. But — tools for specific industries; "full-stack" AI companies that actually are the service (AI law firm, AI accounting firm, AI uranium exploration company); or generally products where the customer doesn't want a tool but an outcome — are defensible ideas for startups.

Here's YC's official advice about being truthful and precise about what is pilot, bookings, revenue and recurring revenue. Founders, particularly first time founders, need to sear this into their brains. Don't mistake one tier for another. Be precise, and always be truthful.

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…

@sama spoke to the Spring batch the other day. Met him back when we were both founders, and he stood out then too. Now we're both back at @ycombinator two decades later, helping the next generation build.
