Autonomy

I built a company because I needed a hack.
Production issue. The guy who knew how to fix it was in another country, working his actual full-time job.
I didn't want to call him.
So I tapped his agent on the shoulder instead. 5 minutes later, it was fixed.
He never had to stop what he was doing.
That's Vokal. There's a lot more to it now, but that's where it started.
Your best people aren't always available. Their agent can be.
Last week was great for Vokal, #2 of the day, #7 of the week, 100+ teams signed up. Really grateful for everyone who supported us here. Product Hunt is probably one of the few places where a self-funded startup can still get seen and loved.

If you re trying to make your company AI-native from day one without making the team lose its mind, I d love for you to try Vokal and share feedback.

Notice posted to their website:

We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we re just announcing it. We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.

This announcement is being made pursuant to Rule 135 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Last week one of our web pods restarted 11 times in 24 hours, and another restarted 9 times. The app worked, users were happy, and latency was fine. Our application logs had nothing to say about it, just gaps where a process used to be.

We spent a couple of days chasing the wrong thing. Then we found a Kubernetes default we d never thought to override, and the crash loop stopped.
