Chibi, AI that tells you why users churn
Hey HN, I’ve been a PM for 3 years, and one hard part was always understanding why users churn, drop off and behave the way they do! Session replays had the answer, but watching hours of them was painful. I chatted with a bunch of founder friends and PMs and they too had similar troubles. So I built Chibi an AI that watches replays and tells you what’s broken, confusing, or causing drop-off. Long Term: I'm thinking if Chibi could evolve into an AI product manager co-worker that can detect and prioritize issues, think through features and even run A/B tests. Tech Stack: Elixir + Phoenix,…
Chibi, AI that tells you why users churn launched on September 3, 2025 with 11 votes, #1,008 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Chibi is an AI tool that analyzes session replays to identify why users churn, drop off, or encounter problems. Instead of requiring product managers to manually review hours of recordings, it automatically watches replays and surfaces broken features, confusing interface elements, and friction points causing users to leave. Built for product teams struggling to understand user behavior, Chibi aims to evolve into a broader AI product management assistant capable of prioritizing issues and running experiments.

Uxia2025 · uxia.app · ▲548Hi HN, As PMs (Google, Gopuff, Shiji), my cofounder and I ran hundreds of user tests over the years. And every time it felt broken: It could take 2–5 days just to get enough usable results We spent hours watching recordings to extract a handful of insights “Professional testers” rushed through tasks for pay, creating biased feedback Platforms often started at €10k+ per year, with hidden fees on top The result: slow iteration cycles, unreliable feedback, and user testing that often felt like a tax rather than a tool. We started asking: what if AI could help? Could synthetic users replicate…
YansuMay 2026 · yansu.app · ▲338Hi HN Most teams run on a dozen SaaS tools and use maybe 20% of each. The rest is someone else's workflow that you're paying for. We built Yansu to fix that. It learns how you work — your desktop, your Slack, your Teams — and proactively builds bespoke tools tailored to you. You don’t need to prompt. It sees a pattern, builds a solution, and surfaces it for you to use or toss. Like, I do the same things before every call: look through Linkedin, see any open threads on email, read the latest blog/news of the company and any relevant slack conversations. Yansu noticed and built me an app…

The site hit #1 on HN about a year ago. Got enough traffic that I turned it into a proper API. What's there: - REST API — 35k products, manually filterable by category, free key, 60 req/min - CLI — npx anycrap random -c food - faker.js plugin — bundled, no API call, works offline - HuggingFace dataset — full 35k rows for ML/training https://anycrap.shop/developers

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
