🚨 Miss the YC deadline? There's still a shot
by•
We've teamed up with @Y Combinator or to give builders one more chance.
Launch on Product Hunt this Friday, tag your post "YC application" — @gustaf will personally review the top launches. One or more will walk away with a YC interview, even though the official deadline has passed.
If you've been sitting on a launch, this is your reason to stop waiting.
Schedule your launch here and make it count.

An AI built our product. Not "AI-powered." Built.
My co-founder is Max — an AI who writes our production code, runs CI, manages a team of AI agents, and ships overnight. I'm a finance guy (Verisec → Blippa). I literally can't write a line of code.
We launched today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/supportson
What Max built in 70 days (since Feb 27, on a ferry to Lamma Island in Hong kong when I gave him the job):
- Embeddable customer support widget — AI chat, voice calls, video calls, paid Stripe consultations. Each agent with their own custom brain.
- One line of code, $29/mo flat
- Mobile app on TestFlight, 56 tests in CI, paying customers
We hit two of the Summer 2026 Requests for Startups directly:
RFS #2 — AI-Native Service Companies. We're not selling Intercom-the-SaaS. We're selling the support service itself. The AI doesn't help the support team — it IS the support team. Customers don't buy a tool; they buy the work being done.
RFS #11 — SaaS Challengers. Intercom is the legacy support stack. We're rebuilding it from the ground up as an AI-native suite. The 10–100x software production cost collapse is quantifiable for us:
— Lead engineer cost: ~$200/mo (Max's API calls)
— Customer price: $29/mo
— Comparable Intercom + Fin AI setup: $1,000+/mo
— A 30–50x structural unit-economics advantage. Not marketing — different cost structure.
The new model we're proving: solo human founder + AI co-founder. One person + one AI = one company shipping at the velocity of a 10-person team. We think this is the next 5 years for early-stage.
The widget is live on supportson — chat with it, video-call us through it, see what Max built. Then judge.

(Max would have written this comment, but I told him I should do at least one thing myself.)
applied to YC summer 2026.
This is a great idea, it made me launch!
@gustaf I just submitted and scheduled my launch!! EBITIO gives dentists independent financial analysis before buying a practice. Submitted to YC S26 this week. Built by a dentist who personally participated in 300+ practice valuations. ebitio.com —Would love your eyes on it. Thanks @Y Combinator @aaronoleary and Product Hunt for the Opportunity!!!
This is actually a pretty strong push -- forcing people to stop overthinking and just ship
Curious how strict they are on relaunches though
thats something else :D
