❌ Do NOT use OpenAI for real-time web search - they index the web for fast yet inaccurate replies. 🚀 We’re releasing Browser Use Search API today. It crawls sites and fetches real-time data by interacting with any website. Built because you asked for it. We have already…
A little walk and talk on why 2nd time YC founders do YC again. You already have the network. You've already learned the content. You already know how to raise money. Why take the equity hit?
could this be a wedge for an AI-native GitHub built for agent/human collaboration?
A rebase agent that automatically merges and resolves changes across background agents would easily 10x their usage. Until then they’re not truly “asynchronous”

I've been a bit quiet on X recently. The past year has been a transformational experience. Grok-4 and Kimi K2 are awesome, but the world of robotics is a wondrous wild west. It feels like NLP in 2018 when GPT-1 was published, along with BERT and a thousand other flowers that…

Congrats @akashsharma503, Sidd, and Noa! YC W23 was the batch that ChatGPT launched just a few weeks in, and overnight the world changed. @vellum was one of the first to lead the way, building tools for other founders and builders to develop AI apps. But what always impressed…
