I cloned a YC funded app in a day as an MVP
I saw this app youlearn.ai on YC and thought of building it. They are claiming to have 1M+ users with just one feature which is to convert your learning material into summaries, quizzes etc. I gave this a shot and cloned almost most of the features in just 9+ hours of continous vibe coding (with 20% manual though). Now I'm selling this on mvp marketplace. Might probably open source it in future or give it free.
I cloned a YC funded app in a day as an MVP launched on May 17, 2025 with 28 votes, #719 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
This product converts learning materials into summaries and quizzes using AI. It is designed for students and learners who want to streamline their study preparation. The software was built as a rapid prototype implementing similar functionality to an existing educational app, developed and made available for purchase through an MVP marketplace.

LexieApr 2026 · lexielearn.com · ▲102Built this because kids 10-15 can't prompt AI effectively. They'd type "make quiz plz" and get confused when ChatGPT asks for context. Lexie takes 46 steps of AI prompting, context explanation, and output formatting and makes it one step: point camera, get quiz. The photo constraint isn't just better UX, it's the only way to get usable output from that age group. This demographic gets the worst deal in edtech. Too advanced for baby apps, too young for adult tools. They get gamification theater instead of real learning tools. I stripped all that out. Photo your geology notes, get instant…
- IMI'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool2025 · ▲260
Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli
EmraJan 2026 · emra.app · ▲65Hey HN, I'm really excited to share Emra with you. The yc description would be: It's like "Notion meets Lovable". It's a workspace where you build full apps using AI and every app sits on one shared database and service layer. Generated apps are always editable, and (coming soon:) can interact with each other in the workspace. I'm of the opinion that the cost of software will go rapidly to zero (I don't think that's too surprising to any of you), but there will always be room for effort and creativity. Emra is essentially built for the future where every person is a developer. Essentially…
MyCloneNov 2025 · myclone.is · ▲149Hi HN — I’m Viggy, founder of MyClone. We originally built a marketplace connecting startup advisors with founders. After ~6 months, we had hundreds of recorded discovery calls and transcripts. We noticed something interesting: The first 10 minutes of most advisory calls were almost identical. • What do you do? • Who is this for? • Pricing? • What information do you need from me? • Am I a good fit? So we pivoted. Today, MyClone lets service professionals (consultants, CPAs, etc.) deploy an AI voice agent that: • Answers FAQs in their voice • Runs structured intake conversations • Qualifies…
- IBI Built a Paul Graham AI Advisor for Founders and Hackers2025 · paulgraham.resurrect.space · ▲21
Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable. So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff. Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it. Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan.…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
