Hyper (YC P26) – Company brain to power agentic development

Hey HN, we’re Shalin & Kanyes, best friends who've been hacking together for 10+yrs, and now founders of Hyper (https://heyhyper.ai/). Hyper is a shared “company brain” that plugs into information flowing inside a company to make AI agents and automations better and ultimately save people time.Models have gotten good enough that they can (mostly) take on long-horizon, complex tasks. We believe the bottleneck now is that these smart-enough models often lack information about your company, which is scattered in people's heads, Slack threads, stale docs, and in back-and-forth convos with AI.MCP is useful for getting some info in front of an agent, but there are problems: (1) Once the session dies, so does the insight, so instead of copy-pasting a whole doc each time you're telling the agent to dig through Drive each time - not much of a win; (2) Even when MCP works, what it gathers isn't comprehensive, because people decide things on a whiteboard, brainstorm out loud, post a little in Slack, and scribble the rest in a doc, which leaves the agent working from partial information; (3) And even if it had everything, it doesn't do the meta-reasoning required to do a great job. If you paste in a Notion doc and it won't learn your design taste or your writing style unless you tell it to, and it won't know why a decision was made or when.As undergrads 5 years ago, we were into the tools-for-thought wave and became power users of Notion, Obsidian, Roam, Anki, real believers in building a second brain. After GPT-3.5 came out we started to realize how much more powerful that second brain could be if an AI could actually read it, because suddenly it would know our backstory, our taste, our preferences, and unlock genuinely new capabilities. That’s why we’re building Hyper.We know it’s not for everybody! But for people who do want to be on the cutting edge, this is a force multiplier that makes agents faster and better. It inc

Textile – A desktop app for weaving together bits of text

Hi all,I'm excited to show off Textile, a desktop app I recently built.Textile can combine bits of text using various inputs, such as commands on your computer, the contents of your clipboard, and hard-coded strings that you provide. It lets you carefully build up and modify a dynamic string, step by step, until it's exactly how you need it. The saved steps can then be executed on demand, with the click of a button or using a keyboard shortcut.I built Textile because I was often constructing complicated, dynamic URLs from various sources that all existed on my computer. I got tired of manually switching between different apps, copying and pasting various chunks of text, and assembling them all together somewhere. I've also found Textile to be quite useful as a kind of repository for obscure bits of static text, such as ½ and other fraction characters, when I can't be bothered to remember their built-in keyboard combinations.I also built Textile because I wanted to learn Electron, although I expect there will be some gnashing of teeth about this here. :) I think desktop development is quite interesting, in part because it doesn't require me, the developer, to pay for an API server and database in the cloud. The app itself is both the UI and the "server," and the local drive is effectively the "database." I knows this trades away syncing with the cloud but, on the other hand, there's something nice about knowing that your files are on your drive and not on somebody else's server.I realize that something like Textile may already exist, and may have much more functionality but, again, I wanted to learn. I must say that multi-sequence keyboard shortcuts are hard, and there are cases that don't work right in Textile. I feel vulnerable admitting that my approach has much room for improvement!For what it's worth, I did not use an LLM to write any code for Textile (although I did ask many questions of an LLM, a
