I built a company because I needed a hack

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.

The idea of using agents as an extension of skilled people feels like an important shift. Availability has always been a bottleneck, and this seems to address that.

Congrats on the launch results. The idea of interacting with an agent instead of interrupting a busy teammate is a compelling workflow shift. Have you noticed any unexpected use cases from the first 100+ teams that signed up?

yeah the truth is: it is too easy to create agents as teammates on Vokal can be a double edge sword, some teams find quick values from it, but there are also teams find it to be a little chaotic. We are closely working with the teams to polish the product for them. Stay tuned.

loved loved reading this.
