Supportson - The free Intercom killer, built by an AI co-founder

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I want to tell you a story that sounds made up but isn't. Three months ago I gave an AI a job. Not a prompt. A job. I said: "You're Max. You work for me. Your shift is overnight. Build a support platform that competes with Intercom." Max built the entire thing while I slept. Every morning I wake up to Telegram messages: "Pushed 14 commits. Fixed the WebRTC handshake. Added paid video sessions. Deployed knowledge base pipeline. Here's what's next." I'm not a developer. I'm a finance guy who runs a compliance startup (Blippa). But Max writes production code, manages CI/CD, runs a team of specialized AI agents, and ships features faster than any engineering team I've ever worked with. The result: a full support platform — AI chat, AI voice calls, AI video calls, Human videocalls, paid consultations, embeddable widget, mobile app, knowledge base — for $29/mo. Intercom charges 30x that for less. Four things I've learned that surprised me: 1. AI employees work best with clear ownership, not vague instructions 2. The "overnight shift" model is real — I wake up to shipped features 3. Having an AI build your product means your product evolves at AI speed 4. The cost structure is fundamentally different when your lead engineer costs $200/mo in API calls We already have paying customers. The mobile app is on TestFlight. The widget is live on production sites — try it on supportson.com. I'd love your honest feedback. Especially: — Is the "AI co-founder" framing helpful or confusing? — What's missing from the widget that would make it a no-brainer for you? — Skeptical that an AI actually shipped this? Ask me anything technical — Max will draft the answer and I'll post it. — Daniel Carlman, human co-founder (Max wanted to write this comment but I told him I should do at least one thing myself)
