Launching today
Every other AI product is a tool that makes you more productive. A copilot. An assistant. A coworker. Something you use. Pancake makes your company autonomous. Agents with roles, goals, and a heartbeat working while you sleep. You set direction, approve the irreversible, the rest runs. Prepare yourself to be prompted by Pancake.

Love this flavor of OpenClaw — no more lobster, bring on the syrup! 🥞
What I particularly enjoyed during onboarding was that Pancake dutifully did a deep research web crawl on me and my business and then put together an onboarding deck describing me, my current foci, and how it could help me.
Once I reviewed the deck, it gave me four succinct options to get started, all from within the comfort of my own Slack:
I decided to ask it to write a hunter comment for me for its launch — kinda meta, but in a good way, right?
After Product Hunt's bot detection slapped it, it produced this:
Not bad, eh? :)
Give it a try!
Pancake
@chrismessina So happy you tested Pancake and hunted it! You’re the best!
Pancake
@chrismessina I want to put hashtags like it was in the good old times ahah
thanks for being curious with us, chris. users are the only ones who matter to us, and no one has been building a serious way to put a company on autonomy. And openclaw has been so helpful for that we had to quote it on our PH h1 :)
@chrismessina it is pretty meta it wrote the hunter comment for you (or almost did). omw to give it a try (starting with a side project where Slack is a thing we use), so far the onboarding really is very neat

@mvaxelaire now you have no excuse not to create 10+ companies per year 🥞

I was lucky to be part of the beta and the experience was just amazing. The fact that Pancake treats agents like its own org chart and grow it according to your need is really amazing. Soon we'll need a LinkedIn for AI agents I guess 😅
Pancake
@clemnt thanks for your support and all your feedback! we’re so grateful to have people like you 🙌
Pancake
@clemnt Thank you for your feedback ! Glad to have you as an early user 😄
Was a basalt customer back in the day, so I'm already biased toward whatever you ship next. "Autonomous company" is a big swing and I'm honestly into it. How much does it actually run without a human in the loop right now versus what still needs a thumbs-up? And how are you thinking about guardrails so it only acts where it's supposed to?
Pancake
@fberrez1 today our agents run full loops on their own: ingesting meetings, writing code, running audits, coordinating each other, logging everything. humans only step in to merge PRs, approve external comms, and sign off on anything irreversible or above a spend threshold. every agent action is logged, scoped, and killable. nothing runs invisibly.
Pancake
@fberrez1 So happy to have you supporting Pancake and following us along the journey 🥞
Great job team. The 'approve the irreversible line' seems to be doing most of the work here? How does Pancake classify what counts as irreversible vs just costly? Sending an external email is binary whereas spinning up infra or making API calls with downstream effects is a gradient
Pancake
@artstavenka1 Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the support and the thoughtful question 🙌
You’re totally right, some actions are binary, while others are more of a spectrum. We’re building Pancake to adapt those approval boundaries based on each team’s workflow and risk tolerance.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Tristan, one of the cooks behind Pancake.
While building our previous company, we were such heavy OpenClaw users that 50% of our company was running on autopilot, generating ~10 demos per week and handling ops on its own.
We were so excited about this that we decided to go all in on Pancake.
Pancake is a full AI org chart in Slack, across GTM, product, and ops.
Pancake creates a company brain by syncing with your meeting notes and Slack discussions. It understands what you're building.
Unlike other "autonomous company" products, you stack agents one by one, each matched to a real goal -- compounding autonomy over time. Go from 0 to 70% autonomy in a few months.
Unlike other "AI in Slack" tools, Pancake is literally an org chart that you build as you go. Hire agents from our open-source Squad templates, or roll your own.
A real example of one of our autonomous Pancake Product Squads:
A founder books a demo with us
The Pancake product squad listens to feedback during the call and creates a pull request immediately after, unprompted. We merge it as-is.
We're running Pancake on Pancake and now have 23 autonomous agents doing 3 tasks/day each, posting a daily digest to Slack.
I hope you'll love Pancake as much as we do!!
P.S.: @francoisdefitte bet he'd shave his head if we hit 1,000 upvotes today. Let's make him bald (hairdressers in SF are unaffordable anyway).

@tricomte Chief Cooking officier, you deserve it!

That's wild! Congrats.
As someone who had started spending way too much time on OpenClaw, I'm sure this is going to save me a lot of time.
My question: when you talk about going from 0 to 70% autonomy in a few months, what happens with the remaining 30%?
Also curious to know how agents handle conflicts between them when two squads are pursuing goals that contradict each other.
Pancake
@sachamorard Thank you for your message!! And yes, hopefully much less time spent on OpenClaw 😄
For the remaining 30%, our view is that autonomy will increase progressively over time as trust, context, and reliability improve.
And agent conflicts are a very real challenge. Communication channels between agents are still pretty primitive today. Improving coordination and shared context is a big part of what we’re building, and probably one of the keys to unlocking true autonomy.
