Airstitch

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Sahil — co-founder of Airstitch. Three months ago, Jessie and I walked into our YC interview convinced we had “the one.” A no-code workflow builder we’d spent months crafting. We thought we were onto something big. We weren’t. A few hours later, we got this email: “Hard to break out.” “Crowded space.” “Not clear you can win.” It stung. Because they were right. The truth was simple: People don’t wake up wanting to “build workflows.” They just want their work handled so their brain can breathe. That night, Jessie and I sat on a call until 3AM and made the scariest decision we’ve ever made: Delete the product. Rebuild from zero. Forget everything except the user’s actual life. No more drag-and-drop boxes. No more flowcharts. No more turning users into engineers. Just one idea: What if you could run your entire workday by texting one message? So we rebuilt everything around WhatsApp — the most frictionless interface on earth. Ten days after launch: 112 users 16 paying customers ($378 in MRR) 33% week-over-week growth $0 CAC And students (who we didn’t even design for) became 33% of our usage because they were drowning in tasks more than anyone. The market didn’t just “accept” the change — it dragged us toward it. What Airstitch actually does? “Check my email for anything urgent and schedule what matters.” “Look at my Canvas deadlines and add everything to Calendar.” “When a client emails, open a Linear ticket and notify Slack.” “Find the pricing doc from last week in Drive.” No setup. No learning curve. No “building automations.” Just… relief. What I learned the hard way? A rejection can be the most accurate roadmap. People want clarity, not control. Mental load is a bigger problem than automation. If users have to think, you’ve already lost. We’re now adding: Proactive reminders iMessage + SMS A cleaner onboarding flow And we’re building fast, because the problem is bigger than we realized.

And one more thing: Which app do you switch between way too much? It might be our next integration. — Sahil

This is such a smart pivot 👍 moving from “build workflows” to “just text what you need” is exactly where the market has been heading. The mental load part is so real. How does Airstitch decide what’s truly “urgent” when scanning inboxes or deadlines? Is it rules-based, learned from user behavior, or a mix of both? I don't know if it's just me but the spaces in your description is too wide making it tiring to read 😭😭
