With the takeoff of OpenClaw and MoltBook, a new agent-driven economy is taking shape. On the @LightconePod, we took a look at the explosive growth of AI dev tools and whether the time has come for builders to make something agents want. 00:00 - Intro 02:12 - No human involvement is changing the experience 04:55 - Does YC need to change its motto? 07:48 - Email tools and agent infrastructure 09:36 - Agent-driven documentation 13:00 - Swarm intelligence 15:36 - Content generation and dead Internet theory 18:12 - Growth, rules, and founder insights

Drone threats have evolved. Detection technology hasn't and makes lots of mistakes. @DroneTector solves this with a suite of sensors, including their millimeter-wave radar, purpose-built for the hardest targets. Congrats on the launch @matthewmoore222, Thomas and Jordina! ycombinator.com/launches/PUU…

Reframe (@usereframe) automates the hardware supply chain, starting with procurement. Upload your BOM, connect your ERP, and their system will handle sourcing, ordering, vendor coordination, delay resolution, and real-time build plans. Hardware procurement still runs on spreadsheets and emails, until today. Use Reframe to automate end-to-end procurement and keep your hardware teams lean. Congrats on the launch, @bryanzin7 and @EricWiener5! ycombinator.com/launches/PU7…

FF Designer is live. Generate screens in seconds. Edit visually. Export to FlutterFlow, Claude Code, or Codex. When it's a matter of seconds to create a variation that you can edit on a canvas, it just feels different. designer.flutterflow.io

Fern is an AI that joins your meetings – as a silent copilot or active participant – and coaches you in realtime so every conversation runs like a top 1% professional. Don’t settle for AI note-takers! Try Fern from @ishikilabs now: ishikilabs.ai/download Congrats on the launch, @moltfinds and @robbyuchen! ycombinator.com/launches/PTp…

OctaPulse (@tryoctapulse) uses robotics and computer vision to automate fish inspection for aquaculture farms. From hatchery to processing, they're building the future of autonomous aquaculture. Congrats on the launch, Paul and @rohxnsxngh! ycombinator.com/launches/PUE…

The future of work is humans managing teams of AI agents. That future arrived this morning. Most agent tools are stuck: one thread, one model, brittle flows, no real execution. Spine Swarm changes that. We built a visual canvas where a swarm of agents fans out on your question - in parallel, across 300 models, using real-time data. Watch them work. Steer any agent live. Get deliverables that actually beat Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity on the hardest multi-step reasoning benchmarks (GAIA, DeepSearchQA #1).

Proximitty is a truly autonomous loan servicing and collections platform. Banks and fintechs use its no-code agent studio to automate lending operations across existing systems, improving efficiency and freeing up capital. Congrats on the launch, @WyeYew and @zizixcm! ycombinator.com/launches/PUc…

Tom Blomfield on his whole team being fired — and then unfired the next day. pod.link/1677066062/episode/…

.@beyondreachlabs builds deployable solar arrays that grow from the size of a dining table to a football field in orbit, unlocking massive power for next-gen spacecraft. Congrats on the launch, @fogmb and Pele! ycombinator.com/launches/PUY…

Congrats to Autosana on their $3.2M seed! AI coding tools sped up shipping — and made QA the bottleneck. Teams are stuck maintaining brittle scripts and running endless regression tests. Autosana is the agentic QA platform for iOS, Android, and web. It's already powering 100M daily active users and growing 100% month-over-month. siliconangle.com/2026/02/17/…

We just launched our product @imagineagi: multi-member team content for B2B companies. Most companies try LinkedIn GTM with one founder posting alone. Slow. Limited reach. What actually works: coordinated team effort. Multiple execs, aligned content, ripple effect. $31M in revenue generated across 40 clients. imagineai.me

We’re launching Pillar (trypillar.com) - your app’s copilot. 🎉

We’re launching Skills in o11. We use o11 every day to build and scale o11 and teams at hundreds of companies & firms do the same. Here’s what we use it for ↓

.@forumdotmarket is building the first regulated exchange to trade on attention. Go long or short on the popularity of your favorite topics, from Bad Bunny to Claude Code. Congrats on the launch @josephpthomas and @owenbotkin! ycombinator.com/launches/PTS…

.@pollen_cx is building AI agents that make every customer feel like they’re your first. They surface churn risk and upsell signals, then prepare what to do next — no more scaling headcount just to keep relationships alive. Congrats on the launch @noah_yin7, @yum_jeff, and @Aldrin0n9! ycombinator.com/launches/PTY…

we’re excited to announce trajectory explorer: the first sane way to navigate agent traces. every decision your agent made is now searchable in seconds only in @raindrop_ai
