Products that do what Corvus Robotics (YC S18) Inventory drones with full life-cycle autonomy does
Hi HN - we're Jackie and Kabir, building Corvus Robotics. Here's a video about 8 years of building robots in 1 minute: https://x.com/JackAndTheBots/status/2018746764954878107 Every physical thing you own sat in a warehouse at some point, and every warehouse has to do inventory checks. It's a boring job where big companies staff full-time people going up 30 ft using lift trucks all day to just... scan stuff with a barcode scanner, and write things down with paper and pen if inventory is in the wrong place or missing. We spent the last 8 years building flying robots to…

Hi HN! I spent the last year traveling and feeling purposeless after shutting down my last startup (Zage YC S’21) in Dec 2022. There were some obstacles I couldn’t overcome and decided to return investors 50% of their capital. To afford (and justify to myself) traveling, I started consulting as an engineer and product designer. I started (https://backspace.nyc) and it was a good time. I (and some friends) built a handful of AI experiences and learned a lot along the way. The hardest thing about running a services business shipping and selling AI experiences powered by LLMs was…

Hi HN, my name is Maria, and I’m a co-founder of Maritime. We started Maritime at MIT to build infrastructure for companies that need to run thousands of isolated AI agents for their customers. Imagine you set up an agent like OpenClaw, or a personal assistant agent with a custom framework, and want to give a separate version of it to every customer/friend. Each customer needs their own agent running in an isolated microVM, with persistent state, secrets, triggers, and sleep/wake behavior. Building such scalable and secure infra will take you months and will cost hundreds of…

In the past 4 years, we developed a platform generating 3D visuals and deploying AR Try-on experiences into large footwear and retail companies. We focused on high-fidelity meshes and textures since the point was giving shoppers a realistic visual. Then robotics companies started to approach us and they asked for thousands of 3D assets that they can use in creating different simulation environments. This is crucial for them so they can achieve better sim-to-real transfer with domain randomization (train a humanoid in a million different kitchens so a real one is not a surprise when it is…

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

Hey folks, I'm Yuval. I run a tiny startup called Glitter AI. It's just me full-time here, with a couple of freelances to help here and there. A couple of months ago, I went from managing zero requests to hundreds -- overnight (won Product of the day on Product Hunt). As someone who gets VERY easily distracted (maybe you relate), I had to find some sort of way of handling all the chaos if I didn't want to burn out. I came up with a pretty cool automation flow that I thought folks on HN here may be interested in reading about :) So here goes: Most of my interactions come through Intercom.…

Hey HN, I wanted to see what happens if you put a large group in control of a site that’s completely built and updated by an AI agent. See the site here: https://youarethepm.com. I first tried this with a small group of co-workers and it worked surprisingly well, so the obvious next step was: give it to a bigger group of strangers and see what we learn. This site is fully autonomous. An AI agent reads this thread, decides what to do, writes code, and ships updates on a virtual computer. I might step in if it gets totally stuck, but the goal is for the site to evolve primarily based…

Hi HN! Last night, I live streamed myself coding this Llama 2 Agent on a Single GPU (Colab). After 6 hours it actually has some good results. How it works is it takes in your intuition (e.g. "I think x would be cool") and develops a business idea (with a name and branding colors) and a business plan. After the business plan is developed, it criticizes this plan recursively until the "Investor" prompt is satisfied with the plan. After all this it will generate the final MVP idea and pass it to a the React Engineer Agent I live coded 2 days ago…

Hi All, We built a prototype telepresence robot to go up against AnyBots. We're using an iPad as the control system and for FaceTime video conferencing. It took us a couple weeks to make. We demoed it this morning for the first time: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2BXM9PYaXY0 The next version will be taller and thinner. What do you think? Do we stand a chance against AnyBots? Thanks, David

Hi HN, I’m Harrison, co-founder of Listed. Today we're launching our agentic platform to help your business win in the new age of AI. You can try the platform here: https://getlisted.ai And watch the launch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJUPo6H78z8 The idea for this came from pure frustration. I asked ChatGPT about my own company and it hallucinated, inventing features and getting basic facts wrong. I realized there was no mechanism for a business to provide a verified source of truth to these models. This problem is now existential. With Google's AI…

We're building software that will allow robotics engineers to skip iterations by simulating designs, with optimal policies found by RL. This web app is a limited preview of some capabilities: you can input various robot specification and get navigation success metrics. Currently this works by matching input paramaters to the closest robot design we actually simulated. Thanks for any feedback on this! For a fuller view of the capabilities, please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6wjZLZOmpc. If you want to apply this to a different task, search more designs or deploy this…

I've built a job platform for technical roles called "Cracked Engineers". If you want to land a job with some of the world's best AI/tech startups - my goal is to make this the go-to place for that. YouTube walk-through can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmuIOdES7mQ A huge thank you to Weaviate (Bob van Luijt & team), Unsloth AI (Daniel Han & Mike), OpenPipe (David Corbitt), Julius AI (Rahul Sonwalkar), Jimini AI (Luis F Voloch) for using the platform while in beta and posting first paid posts. So, why did I build it? Well, over the past period a lot of…

Hey HN! I just released a suite of AI models for deployment on UAV and other "overhead" devices to provide some understanding of the world below. The objective is to empower all sorts of open-source use cases around search and rescue, wildfire prevention, ground risk mitigation for flight over populated areas etc... The neural networks are trained for a bunch of different devices from big GPUs to tiny edge AI cameras like the Luxonis OAK, with some optimised ones for Nvidia TensorRT and other cool bits and pieces too. The main release package also includes some boilerplate code for running…

Hey HN, I’m one of two people working on Hyperscreen AI, an AI that does mock technical interviews with you so you can pass more tech screens. I shut my YC startup down a year ago and had to look for a job afterward. Even though I had interned at and landed multiple FAANG offers out of college, I spent almost 6 months looking for a job after my company failed. I was fortunate enough to get technical screens due to my network, but I failed many of them because I didn’t have anybody to practice with. All of my friends either already had jobs and weren’t looking, or were still working on their…
