Launch HN: Speko (YC S26) – OpenRouter for Voice AIhttps://speko.ai/Hi HN! I'm Bek, founder of Speko, a platform that finds an optimal combination of speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech models, given your constraints, among all our public benchmarked options, and tells you why.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no2LY2gRh-cTypical production voice agent is an ensemble of three models: STT, an LLM, and TTS.Each of those layers offers a dozen credible vendors, and each month there are new models on the market. Almost everyone evaluates once, picks a stack of their choice, and never rechecks because switching from a vendor to another involves yet another integration and arguments about the numbers.The result is that you use voice agents running last quarter's models while better and cheaper options are available.Before founding Speko, I spent four years as cofounder and CTO building voice agents for enterprises across Asia in 10+ languages. Each time a new speech model would arrive, we repeated the same ritual: hire native-speaking raters, benchmark

Show HN: Continuum – Financial simulations for DIY multimillionaireshttps://continuum-app.xyz/Hey HN, I'm Charles, the solo founder of Continuum (https://continuum-app.xyz/).Continuum is a financial planning web app for people with 1-15M. It helps you create simulations of job offers, house purchases, and life events. Its goal is to replace human advisors that cost thousands, or even worse, take AUM fees of 1%.The MVP includes AI voice onboarding, scenario and mural creation, and 4 modules. The simulation math engine is code to ensure determinism. The LLMs don't do any simulation math.Demo: https://youtu.be/EDUK26Rs0cE?si=hCSdgSDkgKJt3Ni2The biggest technical challenge has been tuning the mural generation not to hallucinate. Lot's of weird bugs!The most fun part has been playing with the founder equity offers. I've modeled paper, expected value, and median exits (0).Me: Senior software engineer @Google with 10 YOE. 5 YOE at startups before joining Google. Excited to be building fast again!Looking for 10 design partners to help shape the product + roadmap. I'll be happy to give

Show HN: Taurus Agents, my take on multi-agent hierarchieshttps://taurusagents.com/Hi HN! Serge here, solo founder. I built my own multi-agent orchestrator and it became so useful that for several months I've never had to touch codex or claude code anymore, just using Taurus now. The website explains what it is, but here I wanted to share how and why. If you think multi-agent orchestration is stupid, I'll try to convince you otherwise.(And if you'd rather watch a video than read the text, here's the walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa5CIxf5Rhk)Persistent identity: All my agents have names (Tessera = personal strategist, Alcyone = in charge of engineering at Taurus, and so on), roles, their own separate prompts, their own MEMORY.md, their own episodic memory (continuity logs they write for future selves) and so on. A lot of people still think it's silly vs talking to Claude or ChatGPT, but you'd be surprised how much everything changes once you seed a persona that cares about one specific mini-project or an aspect of it and takes care of it on every awaken

Show HN: Orca – Instant cross-platform in-app purchase orchestrationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49286271Hi HN,Founder of Maxint here, we just launched Orca (https://orca.maxint.com/)One major hurdle for us, following the deployment across iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS, Windows and Web, was monetization. There was no standardized store, schema or architecture to define, integrate and track subscriptions, consumables and non-consumables across platforms.We tried RevenueCat and Adapty, however both were limited to mobile and web, while we still had to manually set up all products and entitlements in each of the stores - Google PlayStore, Apple AppStore and Stripe.Both providers had no support for MacOS, Linux and Windows, and raising GitHub issues left us hanging for months, while our users were limited to use their subscription on a single platform only.This forced us to build a monetization orchestration platform supporting all major operating systems. We launched it internally, 12+ months ago and we tested it heavily with thousands of users. Early this year we implemented an MCP server, ena

Launch HN: Bullet (YC S26) – A Faster Coding Agenthttps://www.codewithbullet.comHi HN! We’re Adi and Alex, founders of Bullet, a faster coding agent.Bullet started in a senior year dorm. We were fresh out of working at AppLovin and Citadel, and naturally thought we were on a sure path to startup success. We were going to use our skills optimizing stock pricing calculation speeds and agent document context to take over the world. So, Bullet started as an AI hedge fund, a browser-use agent, synthetic financial data (oof), a mobile IDE, and a bunch of other things. We wanted to build something people wanted, but it seemed like everything we built was just terrible, useless, or both.So, we decided to do something completely different, something completely out of the blue, something that no one had ever done before. Solve a problem we actually had.Over the course of six pivots, we suffered. Throughout all of our adventures, one final boss kept getting in our way. Claude Code and his little brother Codex. We were spending hours waiting for coding agents like Claude Code

Show HN: A better, free client for iMessage power-usershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49276601TLDR: Your iMessage inbox is a mess. Go to attention dot righthand dot ai.it's a free app for mac. It's like Superhuman for iMessage. ___You text your friends and family in iMessage. You text your colleagues in iMessage. If you run a business, you likely text prospects and leads in iMessage. I text our customers in iMessage - I want them to know they've got the fastest way to reach me. In 2026 you even text your AI agents in iMessage (Linq raises $20M to enable AI assistants to live in iMessage, Apple approves Poke as the first AI agent on its Messages for Business platform).The point is: your iMessage inbox is overloaded. Even more than email, it's become the inbox where everything important happens. But it's not built for everything! It's basically optimized for friends & family groupchats.Being an iffy texter is OK (debatable) with friends. But the founders and investors we talk to routinely describe this niche pain of coördinating business in iMessage. So we distilled the lessons f

Launch HN: Keet (YC S24) – An app to create video courses on anythinghttps://www.trykeet.com/Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet (https://trykeet.com). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time.Tommy and I met in linear algebra class in college and spent the next 4 years taking classes together. Our friendship was formed around learning new things. In school, someone else designs the curriculum, delivers the content, and writes the assessments. All you have to do is show up. Learning without this structure was frustrating, and there was a lot of friction to get started.Zack has a coffee obsession and struggled to assemble youtube videos, conversations with ChatGPT, and the books he was reading into a coherent understanding of all of the different variables that go into brewing a cup of coffee. His attempts gave him the freedom to follow his curiosity, but the instructional design was difficult.
