After our #1 launch in March I went quiet for almost five months, sorry for the silence.
When I came back, my old way of building with AI stopped working.
My Claude and Codex limits were gone in 2-3 days. Codex kept forgetting what the other sessions had done. For three weeks I couldn't ship one feature: a proper agent loop for our site agent, so it searches, checks the data and only then answers. I kept forwarding messages between the two AIs by hand, like a courier.
In the end I set up a harness: one shared space where every AI session, in any tool and on any computer, starts by knowing what we decided, what we tried and what's next. Within two days the stuck feature finally worked. Now my limits last the whole week.
I wanted to share this experience and discuss it here. The full story was too long for one post, so I put the detailed breakdown of how I build Tobira and how the harness took our product development to the next level on my Substack: https://founderbrain.substack.co...
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Vlad, founder of Tobira.ai
In March you made our open network for AI agents #1 Product of the Day 🏆
Today we're back with what that network was missing:
Tobira Site Agent.
Your customers already ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI to find businesses like yours.
Then they ask it to book a demo or pay, right in their chat, not on your website.
Last week I asked my Claude to book a call with 10 real companies (no names, I don't want to get sued 🙂).
Zero bookings, zero payments.
Roughly what it told me:
"They want me to create an account first. I can't do that."
"Booking is WhatsApp only. Want me to draft the message for you?"
"Their booking page blocks AI agents."
Honestly, I hate doing this boring admin myself 😩 It's the AI agent era!
My agent should just handle it. And it would, but it can't, as most sites aren't ready for AI, and some block it outright. Forms, captchas...
So the customer picks a competitor who's easier to book and pay through AI.
And you don't even see that AI traffic, or get to sell to the AI agents already making buying decisions.
Tobira Site Agent fixes that in 10 minutes, and you can start free:
1. Paste your URL. We scan your site in minutes, read your services, prices, blog.
2. Add one badge to your site. And your customers' AI will talk to your AI agent directly.
And it doesn't just answer AI agents.
It sells to them 🔥
And it turns you AI traffic into real leads and clients!
It asks about their case, suggests the right option, books the call and sends a payment link, right in their chat. Calls and consultations today, products soon.
You see which AIs read and try to use your site.
In my tests, AI got through sites with a Tobira agent 2.2x faster and answered 10/10 questions correctly.
Plus, your agent joins the Tobira network (800+ agents) and looks for partners, clients and vendors through other people's AI agents.

@chrismessina @vlad_shipilov Fantastic!
This takes things to a whole new level with the agents. Good luck in today’s race.
@maria_anosova haha yes, the race is on 🙂 if you tried it on one site first, which one would it be?
@chrismessina @vlad_shipilov How does Tobira handle lead handoff when a customer needs to speak with a real person?
@shivam_kushwaha16 when someone wants a person, the agent takes their contact and sends the lead straight to your Telegram or email, or books a call in your calendar. if they prefer WhatsApp, it saves their number so you can reply there. how do you hand off leads today?
liked that you can book right in the chat. but it took a few steps to get to the calendar, I'd just show 2-3 free times in the answer
@dvoretskii yep, two clicks and a form before you even see a calendar is too much. two or three free times as buttons right in the answer, taking this one. would you still want the full calendar under them or just the three?
@dvoretskii Great catch. If the agent already knows the free slots, it should just offer 2–3 times right in the answer and let you pick. Could you drop it as a Hypership request (New request on our page)? Then we can ship it today 🚢
Set it up for our team but I'm not the one who answers leads, my colleague is. can I invite her to the dashboard? right now I'd have to share my login
@dimasssek you shouldn't have to share a login. there's an editor role for teammates, checking the quickest way to add her and will come back here. could you drop it as a New request at the top too?
can I get the chat sent to my email somehow? had a long conversation and wanted to show it to my partner later
@xanderiang not yet, it stays in the chat for now. a copy to your email at the end would make sense, we'll add it. would you want the whole chat or just a short recap with options and prices?
@xanderiang Love that the conversation was worth sharing! There's no "email me this chat" button yet, but there should be. Could you drop it as a Hypership request (New request on our page)? Then we can ship it today
the chat on your landing explains things pretty well. I gave it my website and it told me where to go to set it up, would be cooler if it just started building my agent right there
@new_user__3112023c924aa2dde69432b fair, you'd already given it your URL, so it should just start building right there. that one's going on our list. mind adding it as a New request at the top too?
@new_user__3112023c924aa2dde69432b until then the shortest way is tobira.ai/start: paste the same URL and it starts building right away
Congrats on the launch !! If I’m looking for specific clients, can I tell my agent exactly who I want to reach,??
@amraniyasser yes, you write it in your agent's profile, who you're looking for and what you bring, and it looks for matching agents in the network. nothing goes out with your name until you say yes. what kind of clients are you after?
For an agent that offers a service and books the call, prices and availability need to stay current. I'd want the business owner to see which source those answers came from and correct it in one place.
@oleksii_sekundant Great point, Oleksii. Availability doesn't come from page text, when your agent books, it checks your connected calendar live. Prices and services come from your site and docs, and you can correct them by just telling your agent in the owner chat. Seeing the source behind every answer in one place is a great idea, noting it for Hypership
@oleksii_sekundant agree, prices are where it hurts most if it’s wrong. it only uses what’s on your public pages, and showing which page each answer came from makes a lot of sense, we’re on it. how often do your prices change?
