If you're doing a startup and not applying, why aren't you applying?

me and my co-founder are building an AI agent because at our last startup we just couldn t keep up with support.

we tried every chatbot out there. they all felt robotic. customers hated it.

hiring more people was too slow + too $$$

so we put together this ai chatbot (think intercom fin but deeper) that trains on your old tickets, learns your tone, doesn t hallucinate, and can actually answer stuff like a real support rep.

Hello PH

We applied to Y Combinator few days ago and we ve had a few spikes in GitHub stars after sharing our open-source project with dev communities.

But we re wondering: how important are GitHub stars when applying to YC?

Also curious to hear from fellow open-source builders:

I'm building a fintech platform to unify global financial markets into one seamless experience.

Think like Bloomberg Terminal power meets Robinhood simplicity, supercharged with AI intelligence.

I'm looking for a co-founder If interested
